    Justin,

    25W would not fit in a tablet...not without having 1hr of battery life, anyway ;)

    3.9W Temash is what I'm interested in.

    I would be pissed beyond all belief if Intel were taken out for $30/share.

    chuanwee,

    Thank you. I'm glad you liked the article :)

    There's a reason I haven't written about Apple all that much lately - unless you are saying that it's super under valued and worth $1000, then you will get torn to shreds ;)

    Jeach!

    Nobody is perfect with their calls, and I assure you every author on SA has made a bad call...or five.

    Get over your incessant attacks on me. I write what I want to, and as long a SA publishes it, and as long as I have readers willing to read it, I will continue to enjoy doing what I do.

    Life is too short to not enjoy oneself.

    Tokamak,

    You're welcome. I think people just like to attack others on the web because it gives them a sense of power beating up on somebody who wrote an article expressing his views.

    smc99,

    Go to a store and use a Windows 8 Atom tablet. It works absolutely fine.

    "My inference was that if Apple works with AMD, Apple could design a custom SoC, much like Sony and Microsoft (reportedly) are doing for their next gen consoles."

    Apple already does, and quite frankly, they make some of the most balanced mobile SoCs around. I don't see what partnering with AMD would buy them.

    >>(a) Windows 8 doesn't run on Atom. It's X86 only.

    Erm, yes it does. Atom is x86.

    >>. Everyone has an opinion, but people read SA for verifiable information. Each piece of information fits together to form an investment picture that is not someone's imagination.

    Yep. I guess Intel doubling tablet sales Q/Q from Q4 to Q1 and then again from Q1 to Q2 is "pipe dream" :)

    There's got to be *something* going right with this convertible idea! :)

    Rob,

    Did I ever try to say that this had a negative financial impact?

    >>My advice: Quickly realize that there are many other great companies and technologies out there and it could be fun to write pro-articles on them too.

    There are...and I write about them. A lot.

    >> your 5 article per day quota is maybe preventing you from self-evaluating what youre truly writing and their

    Erm, I don't have a quota. I write simply when I feel I have something to say. Sometimes I'll go a couple of days without saying a peep, and others I'll write several pieces.

    >>"But your extreme Intel mania and the 'everything else will die to the hands of Intel' is completely unprofessional and will come to bite you where the sun don't shine one day... simply because everything remains online forever these days."

    Have I ever actually said that? Or have I said that I think Intel gains significant share in this space, and that the hype around "Intel can't do mobile" will soon vanish?

    If I were *ashamed* of anything I write on here, I wouldn't write it. So, obviously I'm perfectly aware that things that get published here "stick".

    "From what I understand, your every word will more than likely be read by a future employer... personally, I don't think your last few articles (and 'some' others in the past) are in your favor... but that's just my opinion!"

    Thank you. Your opinion is duly noted, but I believe that I cite enough facts and back up my views with enough technical and historical precedent that what I'm saying isn't exactly outlandish.

    Anyway, Jeach, I'm sorry that you don't like my articles, but I really am just expressing my views and backing them up with what I believe are cogent arguments. You are free to not read anything I write about Intel in the future...or anything I write, really. The great thing about SA is that there are hundreds of contributors who may offer you something that you may enjoy!

    Justin,

    Exactly. People say that the tablet will replace the laptop.

    I disagree. The tablet and laptop become one. Whoever can do the best converged design will make serious money and take a lot of market share.
