The last vector of mobility is form factor. With improved heat exchanger technology, Intel is
able to cool the Pentium-M processor using coolers with smaller form factors. This has enabled

FIC, Gateway and ASUS. So far, Samsung had one of the best designs around, with a two spindle
design that’s just about an inch thick.
