Enhance Your Laptop with a Little ‘Bling’ Hot Technologies for the Holidays

Intel® Solid-State Drives (SSDs)

If you’re looking for a gift for that tech savvy individual, student or PC gamer in your life, swapping out the traditional hard disk drive technology with a solid-state drive (SSD) is a great way to extend your computer investment. Intel SSDs use solid-state memory with no moving parts, making an SSD more rugged, lightweight and faster performing. An SSD can also significantly improve laptop battery life and boost system performance. You can purchase a laptop from HP or Lenovo with an Intel SSD pre- installed, or buy an SSD at retailers such as Best Buy, Fry’s Electronics, Amazon or Newegg, to replace your desktop or notebook PC hard drive for an immediate and noticeable improvement. For more information on Intel SSDs, go to www.intel.com/go/ssd.

Intel® Wireless Display (WiDi)**

Laptops with Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) are a gift that can be enjoyed by everyone. Don’t crowd around a laptop to share your holiday photos and videos with your friends and family. Instead, put them on the big HDTV screen with Intel WiDi. Make new memories as you easily use your laptop as a mini- entertainment system. Make sure to look for a laptop featuring Intel’s WiDi technology (www.intel.com/consumer/products/technology/wirelessdisplay.htm). WiDi is a cinch to set up. Simply connect an adapter to your TV, follow a few easy steps, and next thing you know, all of your favorite content on the computer is being displayed on your big-screen TV.

Intel® WiMAX***

For frequent travelers or someone always on-the-go around town, laptops enabled with Intel WiMAX technology or 4G mobile broadband access (www.intel.com/technology/wimax) technology make an excellent gift for staying connected over the holidays and throughout the year. True, you need to be in an area where WiMAX is available, but the technology is spreading quickly (www.clear.com/coverage?intcmp=index_d_prmnav_cvg). Make your WiMAX-enabled laptop gift extra special by buying a service agreement to go with it. Service agreements are offered as day passes as well as for longer terms.
