Has AMD missed its chance with Puma?
Frankly, yes.
This is the "silly season" for laptop buying, it gets worse next month and by that time they
need laptops on the shelves. They actually have an awesome product with PUMA, those that understand what it provides, really do seem to want it. Those that don't understand exactly what they are getting, are paying what they would have for a basic integratd graphics laptop anyway.. a good deal all round.
That can't happen if no one rolls out a laptop using it though. First reviews in the states have been postive, smaller laptops like the xpe M1330 and vaio SZ and new SR and Z's would have been perfect for PUMA imo but they are all going centrino 2 with either nvidia or ati(amd) discrete cards.
Come on AMD
