Innovation does not always come first to the US.

Later this year, Legend Group - China's largest PC maker, also known by its Lenovo brand - will include the E.M.A. display technology in the release of its Vela notebook in China. Asian companies tend to run first with Intel's concept designs, about a year ahead of American PC makers, said Anand Chandrasekher, general manager of Intel's mobile platforms group.

"In general, I find there is a lot more innovation and trial-and-error taking place outside of the shores of the U.S.," Mr. Chandrasekher said.

"The U.S. consumer is not getting the same advantages as some of the other consumers overseas."
