14 DAY TRIAL // Once again, a new Intel Sandy Bridge-based laptop has been revealed, this one being made by CTL, the same company known for its line of Classmate PCs, though not many details were given.
As end-users know, the Sandy Bridge series of Intel Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 central processing units was released even before CES 2011 started.
Immediately afterwards, various system makers and laptop suppliers announced their support for the platform.
Even the Santa Clara, California-based CPU maker itself proudly boasted of having already scored over 500 design wins.
Now, one of them has been revealed to be the very laptop that CTL has introduced, the so-called TWH.
“With the Sandy Bridge processor the TWH is ready for the most demanding applications. It boosts performance by grafting the graphics chip onto the CPU, and it does away with the need to implant a separate graphics processor,” says the announcement.
Unfortunately, only a few technical details were given, though not much about what one can expect to find inside.
The exact CPU used was not stated, though the press release did point out the existence of up to 8 GB of DDR3 RAM (random access memory).
The other things included in the announcement were WiFi and Bluetooth, as well as the display size of 15.6 inches.
"The TWH represents CTL's continued commitment to bringing our customers the very latest technologies," said Erik Stromquist, COO at CTL.
"With the Sandy Bridge Processor the TWH will feature better performance, faster processing and longer battery life than previous notebooks."
As it stands, it is impossible to know exactly what storage capacity the notebook features, nor is the exact list of I/O options clear.
Still, it should not take CTL too long to provide a full list of hardware details.
