Desktop chips used in laptops

Wednesday, 20 February, 2002

Intel Australia has issued a warning to Australian consumers to be wary of laptops containing processors designed for desktop computers.

The practice, which originated in manufacturers in Taiwan, may be spreading due to mounting economic pressure to build laptops to meet price targets.

Desktop chips are less expensive, however, they typically consume more power and run hotter than laptop chips, reducing the speed and usability of a laptop carrying a desktop chip.
