If you weren’t following along with Intel’s CES 2013 keynote, here’s a partial summary: among other things, the company debuted its fourth-generation Core processors, which until now have gone by the codename “Haswell.” In addition to talking speeds and feeds, though, Intel also showed off a reference laptop with a Haswell chip inside, a notebook called “North Cape.” It was a hybrid, essentially — a 13-inch, 1080p tablet with a keyboard dock. (Intel made it sound more exciting than it was, saying the CPU is behind the display and that there are batteries behind the display and under the keyboard.) In any case, we got to see it up close after the press conference wrapped, though Intel isn’t actually letting members of the media touch it yet. So far, we don’t know much about the device (Intel won’t even disclose battery life estimates) but we can say it looks thin for a 13-inch touchscreen device (the official spec is 10mm thick for just the tablet and 17mm for the tablet and dock). The viewing angles look promising, too, as you can hopefully tell from those odd camera angles. No word yet on which PC maker is going to pick up this design, but an Intel rep staffing the press conference told us it should arrive in time for the back to school shopping season, which usually kicks off in late spring. So when you see something similar to this surface in the May timeframe, just remember: you saw it here first.Gallery: Intel North Cape Reference Laptop eyes-onContinue reading Meet ‘North Cape,’ Intel’s reference laptop with a detachable 1080p screen, Haswell CPUFiled under: Laptops, IntelComments
