Notebooks will continue to sell well in 2010, and if AMD plays its cards right, the company will see its notebook market share rise to 15 percent by the end of the year.
AMD's Congo platform for upcoming ultra-thin models will play a big role in whether or not AMD meets its target, and the company's off to a good start. In addition to the chip maker's existing partner Hewlett Packard, several other vendors have jumped on the Congo bandwagon, including Acer, Asus, Lenovo, and MSI.
Even against some newer Intel Atom-based models, the Congo platform stacks up well. Asus, for example, recently launched its Congo-based 12-inch 1201T notebook with 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and a 6-cell battery.
But while the hardware stacks up, AMD's success will ultimately depend on how aggressively Intel cuts its notebook prices.
