    Notebooks and Chromebooks are poised to take advantage of the Project Athena spec, which will guide premium laptop designs from top PC makers (and Google!) over the next few years.

      How about laptops that don't fall apart for no reason? Or laptops where the damn touchpad actually turns off when you plug in a mouse? Or one where the function keys work first as function keys then as shortcuts?

        So the tl;dr is that next years laptops will be better specced than this years? I never would have guessed that, so it's lucky someone wrote it down for me.

          You fool, have you not realised that the laptop makers know what you need/want more than you do.

            But at the same time next years software will most likely be slower than this years ... ... so everything will kinda stay the same (w/o an article you probably wouldn't even have noticed).

                I would like a laptop with an OS that does NOT turn on by itself when its lid is closed. That does not seem like too much to ask but apparently it is. Maybe I just need an OS written by people who have a clue. If they are turning on a laptop when its lid is closed then they obviously do not have one.

                  Greek mythos, literally translated (concerning Athena) into the venerable Joan of Ark --seeing the similarities yet? Joan got burnt at the stake for heresy. We will see how this all turns out I'm certain. Intel being at the center of the table will have undoubtedly good results as well considering how open/transparent and competent they've been in the last decade. An old roman saying comes to mind --buyer beware. Can't say that I'm not curious, but also speculative/discerning; the name Intel jumped out as to say there's lead in the water pipes.

                  I was unaware of that...
