A portable computer system such as a laptop computer system includes a computing subsystem that includes a processor that may execute instructions that implement application software, and a storage coupled to the processor that may store information. The laptop computer system also includes a wireless subsystem that may communicate with a wireless network. In addition, the wireless subsystem may receive an incoming communication and determine whether a requesting user is an authorized user. The processor may retrieve at least a portion of the information from the storage and send the retrieved information to a destination via email, for example, in response to a request by the requesting user for the information.

Mechanism for remotely accessing a portable computer including wireless communication functionality

A portable computer system such as a laptop computer, for example, includes a first processor that may execute instructions corresponding to application software during a first mode of operation. The portable computer system also includes a second processor that may execute the instructions during a second mode of operation. The first processor and the second processor may be heterogeneous processors. Further, operation of the first processor and the second processor in the first mode and the second mode may be dependent upon which of a plurality of system preferences have been selected.

Portable computing platform having multiple operating modes and heterogeneous processors

A method for providing an integrated circuit with an option of increasing performance after fabrication is disclosed. The method includes performing a performance increase operation which increases the performance of the integrated circuit from a first performance level to a second performance level after the integrated circuit is fabricated.

Method of providing a customer with increased integrated circuit performance

A configurable performance module for use in an integrated circuit. The configurable performance module includes a performance control circuit which controls a performance level of the integrated circuit to enable changing the performance level of the integrated circuit from a first performance level to a second performance level after manufacturing of the integrated circuit is complete.
