Intel Powers Convergence

Jan 11, 2016 |

Convergence. A word that has, over the last decade or so, taken on added meaning as technology has evolved and we have made the transition from single-purpose devices to multiple purpose devices. The PC, followed by the laptop, and the birth of the mobile device, whether smartphone or tablet, have created proper confusion when it comes to how we divide up our time because everything purports to do everything, just not always well. Not too long ago, I struggled with the idea of watching video on a laptop or reading books on a tablet.  The screen felt too small for video and I still preferred...

@Intel_Africa

Oct 8, 2012 | ,

Intel is in a fascinating position as it continues to entrench itself in the world of technology beyond simply being the engine to devices like laptops, desktops and other similar hardware. Traditionally, we were all very used to seeing the Intel Inside sticker but, with the evolution of technology, the computing and digital realm have become more about how we, as ordinary consumers, use technology as opposed to simply the specs. And the reality is that, for most of us, the capability of, for example, a chip, doesn't make any sense to us. To realign itself with the way we interact with...

Win An Intel Asus Ultrabook

Jul 24, 2012 | ,

Earlier this year, I was fortunate enough to attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which is probably the biggest consumer electronics show in the world. The big buzz was around the Ultrabook, which is, in essence, a skinnier, lighter version of a laptop, with a strong battery life, ultra fast start-up and great performance. Intel has been a major driver behind ultrabooks across the different manufacturers, including Asus, and Intel Corp SA have been kind enough to make available one “ultra-stylish Intel Asus Zenbook UX31A” for me to give away on Evolutionary. Seeing that I listen to as...
