“High performance, long battery life, affordability and investment
protection, are critical selection factors for notebook PCs,” said Phil
Eisler, Vice President and General Manager of ATI’s Integrated and Mobile
Business Unit. “The latter-investment protection-has never been more
critical as we sit on the cusp of Microsoft’s next-generation Vista OS.
Anyone purchasing a notebook today should examine its capability to support
the applications and operating systems of tomorrow.”
