How many computers, tablets and smartphones are in your household?    I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear.   In the average household…that number is now up to 4.6 devices according to a survey done for Intel by IDC.  If you’re looking to add to the total in your home this holiday season…the choices can be confusing.   Do you want a computer or a tablet….or even a phablet.  One of the new giant sized smartphones.   Do you want Windows, Apple, a Chromebook or Android?   On the Windows side alone…Intel business line manager John Wallace says…

  “We’ve got exciting new categories like the portable all in one, two in ones, tablets like this that go down to 8 inches.  So I think there’s a lot of devices that can either replace or refresh the aging PCs in your home or compliment it .”

And Intel’s latest generation processors are designed to reduce frustration by boosting performance while increasing battery life.    You can find us with archives, interviews and more at BootCamp.com. I’m Fred Fishkin.
