The Intel Centrino brand represented a microprocessor (formerly code-named "Banias"), related chipsets and Wi-Fi2 wireless networking capability. This was the first time Intel had branded a combination of technologies under one name. Centrino enabled extended battery life. Intel believed the product was ideally suited for a range of thinner, lighter notebooks that delivered outstanding performance to satisfy the needs of mobile computing. Barrett wondered how the market would receive Intel's latest offering.
