In technical terms, it manufactures and sells dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and NAND flash memory products.
The laptop comes with 64M bytes of SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) and Microsoft's Windows NT 4.0 operating system preinstalled.
Micron Technology is a manufacturer and marketer of semiconductor devices, primarily dynamic random access memory for PCs and mobile devices, NAND Flash and NOR memory.
But prices of DRAMs (dynamic random access memory chips) have continued to fall and there are few signs of demand picking up any time soon.
Rambus claims Infineon is violating its patents on two kinds of computer memory, known as synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM), and Double-Data Rate DRAM (DDR).

When your computer boots up, it spends an interminable amount of time heaving some 30 million lines of operating code from the hard drive onto its main memory, DRAM (dynamic random access memory).
Samsung started mass production of the industry's most advanced mobile DRAM (dynamic random access memory) chip, only 10 months after it began producing the industry's first 30nm-class based 2GB LPDDR2 memory in October, 2011.
Clear gainers include Intel, which produces 85% of all microprocessors, and the makers of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips such as Japan's NEC and Toshiba and South Korea's Samsung Electronics, LG Semicon and Hyundai Electronics.
In perhaps the best-known example of standards abuse, Rambus was accused by the Federal Trade Commission of helping to develop standards for dynamic random access memory chips without disclosing the fact it held patents on key parts of the technology.
FORBES: Liberty Media Unit Says Standards Manipulated By Competitors
At present Micron Technology (nyse: MU - news - people ) and other producers of dynamic random access memory chips for computers--one of the most competitive industries on the planet--are confronted with charges from the Justice Department that imply all three pricing offenses at once.
Most recently, stiff competition and the rising cost of improving chips has made it even harder for surviving makers of dynamic random-access memory, the chips known as DRAMs that are used to store data in personal computers and server systems.
