Intel Corp (INTC)

I still don't like the idea of Intel becoming a device manufacturer.

Liking the idea has nothing to do with it. The market model has changed, especially in the tablet/phone market and that will lead (has lead) to the PC market.

I really hope(and think) Intel and the manufacturers can do it. The Gen "2.5" Ultrabooks featuring Touch and Convertible features are showing an improvement in almost every way - from reliability, functionality, and even the ads are better.

So, how long are you willing to hope? There would be a lot of startup time for Intel. Maybe not as much as one would think initially.
