Apple's bold claims that it has doubled the battery life and tripled the speed of its notebook computers by breaking away from its long-standing relationship with Intel may still not be enough to convince consumers and corporate notebook buyers to follow suit, analysts say.

Corporate buyers, in particular, will be leery of moving to the new Apple platform, which is based around processor technology similar to that used in iPhones and iPads, because they value compatibility and stability more than they value the new features in Apple's new MacBooks and Mac mini, say analysts interviewed by The Australian Financial Review.
