Rather than being focused on customers, the company is focused on OEMs. This will help cut costs for laptop makers in the long run.<br \/>\nWhile desktop computers are modular and customizable, laptops are a bit different. It\u2019s not easy to simply swap out parts like the RAM, motherboard, GPU, and CPU. This can be a pain for people if one component in their laptop fails.<br \/>\nLaptops\u2019 lack of modularity can also be a pain for the companies building them as well. Companies can\u2019t switch components on a motherboard if they want to provide different specs. They will need a completely different model of the board. Intel has a solution that could alleviate this headache for laptop makers.<br \/>\nIntel wants to make laptops more modular<br \/>\nThis is something that will need widespread adoption in order to make a difference. However, we\u2019re sure that it will make things easier for OEMs building laptops. Intel wants to make its motherboards more modular.<br \/>\nThe thinking behind this is that the companies could simply slot whatever components onto the motherboard that they want. If they need to provide a model with different specs, then they\u2019ll be able to pick and choose which parts to slot into the motherboard rather than design an entirely different board.,<br \/>\nIntel could also split the motherboard itself into separate sections. This means that OEMs will have even more flexibility when designing their laptops. Right now, Intel is calling upon companies like Acer and ASUS to adopt this new mentality. We\u2019re sure that Intel has contacted all of its major partners.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s something that could save OEMs some money when building their laptops. If that happens, we don\u2019t expect the savings to trickle down to the consumer, but it\u2019ll still help in some capacity.<br \/>\nIntel is trying to navigate the tough situation that it\u2019s in right now. The company has been struggling majorly with shrinking revenues due to companies turning toward ARM-based processors. There were even talks about it entering a joint venture with TSMC. We don\u2019t know if these modular components will help the company turn its fortunes around, but we\u2019ll just have to see.<br \/>\nThe post Intel wants to make laptops more modular appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AH-Intel-Logo-1-jpg.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: Intel is working on a system to make laptop motherboards more modular.
