Intel Wants Sexy PCs

Intel has offered up $1 million USD in order to drive PC designers and manufacturers to offer up more small, sexy, and stylish PCs. Of course, the PCs for this competition need to be backed by Intel's Core 2 Duo processor. This competition is being dubbed the "Intel Core Processor Challenge". For determining the winner of this challenge, Intel is basing their decisions on style, acoustics, functionality, and features. More on this effort can be found here.
