Intel Firefly brings premium design to budget laptops with ventless 12.9mm chassis
Intel is bundling its Wildcat Lake budget SoCs into complete, premium-feel notebooks via Project Firefly. The initiative uses a standardized design recipe and China-focused partnerships to scale, delivering a slim 12.9 mm metal chassis with minimal/no vents while keeping modern ports; OEMs such as Dell, ASUS, Colorful, and Acer are developing or shipping designs around this concept.
