The application developments made in the 2-in-1 laptop segment were shown. Stage Light application was tested in front of us. It was shown that the application was optimised for hybrid computers. Just when the keyboard was detached, the interface of the application changed and the touch buttons became visible.
In the same way, a few games were shown which were optimised for 2-in-1’s. As one would put on the tablet mode, the virtual keys appeared on the screen, making it really easy to play games on such devices.
Moving on with the presentation, Thaine told us about Intel’s strategies to strengthen its hold in the computer segment. Intel has planned to provide high performance CPUs and increase its marketing spending in order to educate customers about its latest products and their functionality.
