Intel Centrino back in 2003, when there were very few Wi-Fi hotspots, YouTube videos and social media didn’t really exist, ‘thin and light’ only referred to weight goals. Today, we are offering computing solutions across the entire spectrum, said Gopal Swaminathan, General Manager – OEM Business, Intel South Asia.

The new notebooks from Lenovo are based on Intel Centrino 2 processor technology and pave the way to HD

entertainment, rich online gaming and faster broadband wireless speeds, pretty much packing all of the features of your home entertainment system into a laptop. And on the other hand, the Lenovo S9 and S10 series are based on the Intel Atom processor, which has been designed from the ground-up specifically for such a category of affordable, Internet-centric computers.
