Intel Apollo Lake to user in cheap hybrid Windows 10 PCs

We all love cheap computer systems, especially when they are very good computers. So upon hearing that Intel's new Apollo chips could allow for some very cheap hybrid computers, we? have been unsurprisingly excited.

The Apollo Lake processors are based on the Atom design?a processors designed for low-cost PCs?a so folks originally expecting something equivalent of an i5 for $100 should step back and reevaluate their overall expectations.

We've come to understand that this new chip capabilities a new micro-architecture known as Goldmont along with a new graphics core known as Gen9 for increased performance. Customers won't be able to play advanced video games with Atom's Apollo Lake hybrids, but watching 4K videos should be a breeze.

When it comes down to memory support, Apollo Lake will support DDR4, DDR3L and LPDDR3/4. Furthermore, SATA drives, PCIe x4 drives and eMMC 5.0 are all supported as well.

We should point out that Intel recommends applying USB-C and wireless options when it comes down to connectivity. Related tag: buy cheap software

One of the a lot of interesting aspects of this new Atom Apollo Lake processor design is its new power management function. As a result, hybrid Windows 10 computers with this processor inside should have longer battery life. In addition, OEMs can choose to design thinner computer systems with smaller batteries to boot.

Here's the thing: these PCs won't become offered until the second half of 2016, and will likely carry the Celeron and Pentium processor brand names instead of Atom. When it comes down to screen size, 11.6-inches should be the smallest, topping off with 14-inches according to Intel's PDF documents.

The sizes of the display are based on what Intel believes customers require in a hybrid personal computer. As for the pricing, Intel is aiming from between $169 and $269. These are great prices for emerging markets and for those who just want to purchase a laptop for their children.

Intel and its partners, along with Microsoft, have all been attempting to grow the lagging PC market but with little success. Windows 10 is a solid experience, but it also requires spectacular hardware to draw attention.
