Finally some competition for the Macbook Air?

Well is sure does sound like it with the announcement of Dell’s new 9.99mm laptop which is almost half the size of Apple’s Air which is 19.3mm and packs up to a 2.12 Ghz Intel core 2 due processor. Dell (DELL) which is currently being traded at 16.60 looks to have gotten a boost from this announcement. While Dell currently has a version of this computer already out, this one will hopefully be prices much more in range for the standard consumer looking for a nice travel laptop that is still a standard size versus the smaller netbooks. AMD has also launched a similar device which will run a dual core processor and integrated graphics card, and they too have seen some gains in their stock price. Hopefully this will give Apple a run for there money in this space or we may even see other computer makers coming out with similar competitive products. While there are more mobile laptops on the market, these three big plays are a large part of the market and will help to drive stock based on sales.

Companies Involves:

Advanced Micro Devices: AMD

Dell: DELL

Apple: AAPL
