Still want a laptop? That is so yesterday. Get ready for the next stage in the personal computer revolution: It’s the ultra-thin, dirt-cheap netbook.
According to a New York Times report last week, personal computers are about to go through their biggest change since the rise of the laptop.
By the end of the year, consumers are likely to see laptops the size of thin paperback books that can run all day on a single charge and are equipped with touch screens or slide-out keyboards.
The netbook is a kind of portable computer with leaner functions for online surfing and basic computing activities, for example, word processing. To cut the cost and weight, they usually have a low-powered processor, small screen, narrow key board, and no optical disk drive.
At present, some of these devices feel more like a toy than a full-feature computer. That’s because most of the netbooks sold today run on an Intel chip called Atom. This is a lower-power version of the company’s standard laptop chip. So they have trouble running demanding software like games and photo-editing programs. But this year, a group of companies who make cheap, power-saving chips used in cell phones are applying that expertise to PCs. That means they will break Atom’s netbook dominance and reduce the size while letting it run more complicated programs.
The big winner in the rise of netbooks will be the consumers. AT&T announced last week that customers in Atlanta, Georgia, US, could get netbook for just $ 50 if they signed up for an Internet service plan. This trend will soon spread to Asia, according to industry experts.
The big change in computer making in the near future lies in that it______.
选项
A、works faster but costs more
B、runs more programs but costs less
C、becomes smaller but costs more
D、gets thinner but runs fewer programs
答案
B
解析
细节理解题。由第四段可知,现在所销售的上网本无法运行游戏和图像编辑等对硬件要求较高的程序,而未来发源于手机芯片的新型上网本将能解决这些问题,并能运行更加复杂的程序;由第五段可知,美国电话电报公司在上周宣布,亚特兰大的用户只需签署一份网络套餐服务计划并付50美元即可得到一台小巧的上网本。因此选B项。
