Intel makes the MacBook Air a little less special

2530p.jpgIntel made a slew of announcements last week, thanks to the Intel Developer Forum. We’ve already posted about their wireless power technology and their new hard drives—now the mad scientists at Intel want to give everyone a tiny CPU.

As you might recall, Intel created a custom built version of their Core 2 Duo processor to power the very svelte MacBook Air. Now Intel is making similar chips available to anyone who wants them (Lenovo is using them in the X301 and HP has them in the 2530p, which is pictured to the right). Chances are that these updated chips will find their way into MacBook Airs before too long, as well as a host of other tiny laptops over the coming months.
