New Asus Eee PC 1000H Works Best With Windows 7

Here is a confession: I am getting pretty tired of netbooks running Windows XP. So when we got our Windows 7 Beta disc at PDC earlier this week, I couldn’t wait to get it running on a netbook.

This morning we loaded Windows 7 Ultimate (Pre-Beta) on an ASUS Eee PC 1000H. And just as Microsoft said: it works. The Eee PC running a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor and 1GB of RAM handles the new operating system pretty well, just as it ran Vista pretty well when we loaded Vista Basic on it a few months ago. We still had a problem getting a few of the Eee PC drivers to work with the system, but for the most part we were able to get all of the features to work using the XP drivers provided by ASUS.

Unsurprisingly, it takes 58 seconds for the system to boot the OS (see the video below). Of course, it has actually taken a minute for some systems to boot XP as well. However, the Eee PC 1000H boots in only 40 seconds with its default operating system.

Once booted, it was pretty neat to see Windows 7 on the 10-inch screen. As we mentioned in our Windows 7 overview ($79.95), things pretty much look and feel like Windows Vista.

But, one feature on Windows 7 might just be perfect for netbooks: the improved Network Manager. One thing I hate about Vista is having to connect to a wireless network. Things are easier in Windows 7. Selecting the network icon in the System Tray extends a jump list of available networks. Connecting to our home network was simple. I just clicked the network name and entered the password.

Beyond the wireless connection manager, things are pretty smooth in terms of performance. We will be running some benchmarks later, but in my use of the Eee PC 1000H for the entire evening I didn’t have any hang ups while simultaneously chatting on Skype, writing this post in Wordpress, editing pictures in GIMP and uploading video files using Filezilla.

As for graphics performance, video playback on Hulu.com was smooth. But a downloaded 720p high-definition video played back with a number of pauses. Additionally, when we attempted a video call over Skype we had a problem sending and receiving video at the same time. Doing one or the other was fine, but not both at the same time.

One of the chief complaints about Vista is that it’s a “heavy” operating system that eats up too many system resources. However, in his presentation at PDC, Windows and Windows Live SVP Steve Sinofsky said that WIndows 7 consumes less than half of his Lenovo S10 ($349.97) netbook’s 1GB of RAM. It turns out he was right on the money as the performance monitor showed only 485MB of the RAM was in use with no applications — except the standard Eee PC driver set — were running.

So how is Windows 7 on an Intel Atom netbook? Two thumbs up for the new wireless manager and the new visual cues that are incorporated throughout the OS. We wouldn’t give up Windows XP just yet considering the video playback, but the OS is still in beta and it is our hope that final version will be even better for Atom-based PCs.

Apple's New Tablet iSlate Rumor ( Atleast it looks like this )

Poking more at the info Apple secretly registered iSlate.com a couple years ago, TechCrunch found Apple's possibly setup a shell company called Slate Computing, which has a trademark on "iSlate." The signatory? Apple's Senior Trademark Specialist, MacRumors discovered.

Regina Porter most recently signed for the "iSlate" trademark for Slate Computing this past August—showing Apple's continued with "slate" beyond its initial registration for iSlate.com and the "iSlate" trademark in 2006. In Europe, a law firm Apple typically uses to register trademarks has also filed for major domains containing "iSlate," while another they use has filed for a trademark on ISlate in the European Union, registered to a corporation in Trinidad & Tobago, a country Apple's used to register European trademarks before, including for the iPhone.

Curiously, another trademark registered by Slate Computing in the US is "Magic Slate," which follows the same naming convention as Magic Mouse, obviously. MacRumors wonders if it might be something like a multitouch trackpad for computers, like with a screen (which we've wanted for a long time).

Whatever's going on, Apple's obviously gone through a lot of work to discreetly register a whole lot of "slate" stuff, which seems like a ton of effort for nothing, or simply a ruse to throw people off. It's funny, actually, that everybody "knew" what the iPhone was going to be called years before Steve Jobs took the stage to announce it, but no one really knows the tablet's name. I've always figured that, whatever it is, it'll have just two syllables. iSlate fits the bill. And for now, it's the only one with any evidence

Samsung's New 14MP integrated WiFi, 3.7-inch touchscreen Feel the touch

It's not impossible to find a camera with integrated WiFi out there, but your choices are unquestionably limited. Thankfully for those in the market for such a device, it seems as if Samsung is gearing up to release quite the formidable opponent. Without so much as an official press release, the CL80 has emerged on the outfit's website packing a 14 megapixel sensor, optical image stabilization, a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen (capacitive with haptic feedback), a 720p movie mode (H.264), microSD expansion slot (groan...), USB 2.0 connectivity and an above-average 7x optical zoom. The Instant Upload feature enables users to upload their shots to Facebook, Flickr, Photobox or Picasa, and for those who prefer to capture motion clips, it'll also shoot your videos to YouTube when a hotspot is found. Nary a word has been spoken regarding price or release, but we're going out on a limb here and surmising that much more information will be revealed at CES.

2009 most stylish laptops powered by diffrent cores.

For a laptop, design is not less important than its hardware insides, as any industrial designer will testify. People are ready to pay high premium for so-called “high-tech beauties”. That is why stylish and unusual laptops can be sold much faster than “standard” ones. Moreover, designers add some new features even in budget laptop models in a bid to attract additional buyers.

For example, Acer maintains this trend in such popular model like Ferrari, Fujitsu implements it in LifeBook, Toshiba surprises us with Qosmio, etc.

The first thing that manufacturers use in such laptops is an unusual laptop body and well-chosen color combinations. They try to crack the access code into customers’ hearts, finding courageous colors, hues and nuances. They also try to replace standard plastic laptop bodies with titanium ones or use special mixtures to give them more shine and protect from mechanical damage. So, those who want to buy a stylish notebook and express their individuality always can find something special.

The world’s leading portable PC manufacturers experiment with new materials (processed plastic, precious wood, stones and metals). People want to stand out from the crowd, be different from each other and it plays into the hands of many companies. For example, one of the Arab sheikhs ordered a laptop with inlays from ivory. Just imagine how much it cost him!

Laptops have become a part of our everyday live; it’s not a surprise to anyone. But you can impress others, putting a high-tech gadget in an unusual body. So, let’s feast our eyes upon other stylish laptops:

New Dell Inspiron MINI 10 Next Gen Atom Processor With Longer Battery Life.

Dell's Inspiron Mini 10 is joining the coming wave of netbooks that will use Intel's next-generation Atom n450 processor. It'll give you a longer battery life, but may not have much of an impact beyond that.

The n450 clocks in at 1.66GHz, and is about 60% smaller and 20% more efficient than its predecessor. Despite the new chip under the hood, the new Mini 10s will have largely the same standard specs as the current model: 160GB hard drive, 1GB memory, built-in 802.11 b/g Bluetooth support, and a 10.1" display.

Dell's also offering several HD-oriented features as add-ons. The refresh includes the same HD display option as the the Mini 10 does now, but you can also upgrade to a built-in HDTV tuner (the current only offers standard def). Dell also claims up to 9.5 hours of battery life with a six-cell battery running Windows Starter 7. But the best update may be the price cut: the new Mini 10s will start at $299 in January, fifty bucks cheaper than the current version.

DELL MAKES INSPIRON MINI 10 EVEN BETTER WITH NEW DESIGN AND LONG BATTERY LIFE.

7 inch ICD Vega Tablet : Feel The Touch Powered by T20 Chip

The follow-up to the slick ICD Vega tablet—still not out yet—has been shown off, with the Ultra running Android 2.0 and boasting an NVIDIA Tegra T20 chip. The 7-inch size is one of the smallest tablets we've seen, too.

The tablet was outed by Engadget's Joshua Topolsky on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and looked pretty responsive, even with that resistive touchscreen. ICD plans on updating it with a capacitive display option before it goes on sale next year, which is pleasing news to our ears, but it's bemusing as to why they don't just ditch the resistive model, unless it can be offered for much less than the far-superior capacitive.

An integrated 3G SIM will keep it perpetually connected, and also hints at the possibility of carriers subsidizing it to keep costs down. Measuring 186 x 158 x 18mm, the screen is 7-inches and will contain either 800 x 480 or 1024 x 600 pixels, dependent on the resistive or capacitive screen.

Internally, there's 4GB of flash storage, but a microSD card slot will allow for expansion. The 512MB RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI-out, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, 3.5mm jack and 1.3-megapixel camera all sound fairly average, and if it's offered at around the same price-point as the Notion Ink tablet we saw last week, ICD might have a battle on their hands.

ViewSonic's VNB102 WIth Windows 7 powered by Intel Atom

The global leading provider of visual display and computing products, ViewSonic has taken another approach to expand its mobile computing line with its new compact netbook which named as VNB102 ViewBook. The compact netbook has been designed to run on the latest Windows 7 operating systems. To enhance the portability, it comes with a six cell battery that provides up to 6 hours of computing.

Featured with a 10-inch LED-backlit panel with 1024 x 600 resolutions, the netbook is also powered by 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU for energy-saving. It boasts with 1GB of internal memory, comes with a 160GB of hard drive, 3-in-1 card reader, three USB ports and two button touchpad. In addition, it is available in black color, supports 802.11b/g wireless connectivity and comes with 2 x 1.5-watt stereo speakers for enhancing multimedia experience.

The ViewSonic VNB102 with measurement of 9.9×1.1×7.2-inches and weighs 2.4lbs is expected to be available on 18 December and is priced at $399.

EEE bot robot for kids powered By Asus.

Asus is really pushing forward with its Eee range of devices. Not content with a netbook, PC, keyboard, and most recently news of an Eee Pad tablet, it now looks like a robot is also in development called Eee Bot.

Asus hasn’t released any details of such a device, but the government of Taiwan is thought to be sponsoring the project as the robot is aimed at helping educate children.

Eee Bot will take advantage of the Google Android operating system and, as with all Eee devices, won’t cost the earth.

No specific details have been forthcoming, but it is thought this is a project Asus is handling on its own. Specific features will include human-computer interaction, voice recognition, visual recognition (facial rec?), and the ability to move around an area using navigation technology.

Even though the robot will be cheap to buy additional revenue will be generated from service and content for it – an app store for a robot more or less.

New Sony VAIO world’s lightest 8-inch notebook

Sony today took the wraps off the world’s lightest 8-inch notebook — the new VAIO® P Series Lifestyle PC. About the size of a business envelope and roughly as thin as a cell phone, the VAIO Lifestyle PC weighs just 1.4 pounds and is small enough to slip into a jacket pocket or handbag while integrating full-PC features.

The model incorporates a high-resolution, 1600 x 768, LED backlit 8-inch ultra-wide display (diagonal), making it easy to view everything from entire spreadsheets to full web pages— no side-to-side scrolling necessary. It also incorporates Sony’s XBRITE-ECO™ LCD technology, producing images in brilliant detail for razor-sharp viewing on-the-go.

Stylish enough to take anywhere, the unit is available in an array of eye-catching colors, including garnet red, emerald green, onyx black, crystal white and classic black. Matching carrying cases and Bluetooth® color-coordinated mice are available to complete the look.

"The VAIO P Series Lifestyle PC is your portal to the world, delivering entertainment and computing in a head-turning device that’s small enough to put in your pocket," said Mike Abary, senior vice president of VAIO product marketing at Sony Electronics. "Designed for the fashionista in all of us, it’s the ideal companion."

Engineered to provide the feel of a larger notebook, the VAIO Lifestyle PC provides a convenient typing experience by extending the keyboard to the perimeters of the chassis maximizing the typing area. The spacing between keys has also been engineered to help reduce typing mistakes making it perfect for long fingernails.

The unit features up to four hours of battery life with the included standard capacity battery and eight hours with the large capacity battery (sold separate).

MSI Wind U123 gets Windows 7, better battery Powered by Intel Atom

We’re far enough in the Windows 7 life cycle that we can pretty much take it as read that new laptops will ship with Microsoft’s latest operating system, while venerable older models will be refreshed with the new OS. MSI’s own venerable netbook, the MSI Wind U123, has finally replaced Windows XP with Windows 7… the gimped Starter Edition, that is.

Oddly, though, MSI didn’t choose to bump the specs of the Wind U123 with the addition of the new operating system. That’s odd, because while Windows XP’s licensing agreement only allows companies to install it on netbooks at an affordable cost if the hard drive maxes out at 160GB, the Windows 7 restriction is a more manageable 250GB.

MSI didn’t choose to beef up any of the specs of the machine. Instead, you’ll find the same cut-and-paste spec innards crammed inside: a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and a 160GB hard drive. Expect the stock standard 3 USB ports, gigabit Ethernet and multimedia card slot as well.

However, there is a bright side to the new Wind U123: it’s now shipping with a 9 cell, 7800mAh battery. That’s actually a hell of a battery, which will certainly make up for any loss of battery life you might experience jumping from XP to Windows 7, with a couple hours of juice to spare.

You can pick up the new MSI Wind U123 with Windows 7 Starter Edition for just $379.99.

The New Samsung Diva S7070 TouchWiz user interface

Samsung has launched two handsets, the Samsung Diva S7070 and S5150 Olivia. Looks like those cell phones are projected to continue Samsung’s success in the mid-range class mobile phone, to continue the success of corby series. By looking at their figure, they have feminine looks, in other word they are cool gadget for women. However, both have different models each other, Samsung Diva S7070 is a touch screen phone, while Samsung S5150 based on clamshell model.

Samsung Diva S7070 is a touch screen device with 3-inch screen size. In addition, there are 5 megapixel camera and Samsung TouchWiz user interface. Also supported with A2DP Bluetooth and microUSB connectivity. However, there is no Wi-Fi facilities in it, there's only FM radio, microSD card.

Samsung's New Ominia II First Impression.

Samsung's Omnia II, a Windows Mobile smart phone available from Verizon for $200 with a 2-year contract and rebates, is packed with loads of goodies. These include a widescreen, 3.7-in. touch screen, a 5-megapixel camera, and Wi-Fi for the fastest data connectivity. It runs Windows 6.5 Professional, so you get advanced Office document editing out of the box, support for corporate e-mail and calendaring via Exchange Server, and wireless synching between your phone and a Windows PC. You also have a choice of two Web browsers: Opera and IE.

But its most intriguing feature is an interface called Swype, which allows users to type words without lifting a finger—literally. As our video on this feature showed, you enter a word by dragging your finger across the screen from letter to letter. Though it’s initially awkward to use, I eventually had a lot of success "typing" quickly and accurately with Swype. For double letters, as in the word "look," I just had to make a little swirling gesture over the "o." Allowing your thumb to linger on any key inserts produces the alternate key or symbol. For example, to type the number "1," I just paused at the letter "q."

Here are my first impressions of other aspects of the Omnia II, based on about a day’s use of the phone:

The display is sharp. Omnia's 3.7-in. display ties with that of the Motorola Droid for largest screen on a cell phone. With a resolution of about 250 pixels per inch, it had no trouble displaying the tiniest type in my informal tests and it seemed quite bright for photos and pictures. It was also quite responsive for zooming in out of Web pages, or flipping through a long list of e-mails.

The camera’s feature-packed. Omnia's 5-megapixel camera worked quite well, with controls for fine-tuning your shots conveniently on display on the left and right of the viewfinder. Pushing the on-screen "globe" button launches an app for sharing your shots via e-mail and on Facebook and other social networks. Ditto for the video camera, which can output directly to a TV via an optional cable, and comes with software for editing your videos on-camera, including adding photos, text, and music.

The interface is cluttered. For all the power of the Windows Mobile 6.5 for business users, it’s a more awkward OS for consumers than iPhone, Android, and even Blackberry.

For one, its dozens of apps, for such functions as voice dialing, executing searches, accessing social networks, and acquiring widgets, are scattered over as many as 10 menu pages, as on a sloppy computer desktop. For example, I found the app for Visual Voice Mail on Main Menu 1 but the app for voice dialing was on Main Menu 3. And the video-editing app can't be accessed from the camera; you have to hunt for it on one of four possible menu pages.

For those of you looking for a good gaming laptop that won’t take a bite out of your wallet (so you can get another one next year), you might want to take a look at the new Acer AS5738DG 15.6″ laptop, which features 3D HD screen, allowing you to play games in 3D.

UK's 'fastest selling gadget': Motorola Milestone

Call it a pent-up demand for WVGA Android devices, call it Droid jealousy, call it an unnatural love for the sweet, doughy goodness of a just-baked Eclair -- but whatever it is, early indications suggest that the British love their Milestones. Retailer eXpansys (which is big enough to actually produce some meaningful sales trend data, we suspect) is reporting that the just-launched Droid clone for GSM became "the fastest selling gadget in the website's 11 year history, even more successful than the iPhone" when it sold out inside of three hours on its site on top of the roughly 1,000 preorders they had taken prior to the 10th. This might be a case of double-speak -- we're trying to establish just how many phones were sold during those three hours, because what we really need is a sales rate, not a time span alone -- so we're cautioning Moto not to bust out the champagne glasses just yet, but it's certainly looking like a promising start. Schaumburg hasn't had a lot of success in Western Europe in recent years, of course, but if we can use eXpansys as a barometer here, we'd say that a little cautious optimism is well justified.

Dell Studio 15 powered by Windows 7

Windows 7 is quite the buzz word these days for any blue blooded techy, the upcoming operating system sure has caught on the frenzy of millions of people this time, including MAC owners.

Just a few months back Windows released the Public Release Candidate of this new OS, I have downloaded this RC and have given it a whirr on desktop already.

A stroll through technology community boards show the enthusiasm with which people have wanted to try the Windows 7 RC on to their PC’s, Laptops. The interest in trying to run this new OS is such that a enthusiast has also tried installing 7 on a so called “Dinosaur PC” which has a 266MHz processor and 96MB ram.

Getting back to the Topic, after successfully installing and trying the 1st Public Beta and now the Release Candidate on my Desktop I was curious as to how will this new OS run on my Laptop the Dell Studio 15. Being fairly new ( I have never really used this laptop much) I was a bit skeptic onto trying the Public Beta but now that the RC was released I thought of installing the RC onto my Laptop.

My skepticism made me do up some homework and I tried searching up the net for anybody else who tried installing the RC on the Dell Studio 15, searching although was vain I landed up on a laptop community board where too there was no feedback if anybody had tried installing the RC. So I set up a thread in the Dell specific section of this forum and tried gauging reactions from people who might have tried the RC but only a few responded with one stating he got quite a lot of Blue Screens (BSOD) installing the RC on his Dell Inspiron. Another guy who responded had quite the similar set up with mine including his being a Studio 15 had tried the RC and had successfully got the RC working.

Waiting for a couple of days to see if there were any more responses to this thread, I finally decided to go ahead since apart from these 2 guys no body else responded to the thread.

Installing the RC was fairly easy if you have installed Vista before you will definitely be at home. After creating a partition for the RC, I popped in the RC DVD and started off with the installation. Within some half an hour the RC was pretty much done installing, once the installation was done I was welcomed by the very famous Beta Fish.

The video drivers, audio drivers were all setup by default and were flawlessly working. The screen resolution was pre-configured during the setup itself and the audio too worked right out of the box. The only gripe I noticed after the installation finished was that the laptops touch pad was not working. This was although easily solved by using the Vista Alps touch pad drivers that were available on the driver Cd’s that came with the laptop. Another hardware that did not get installed was the bluetooth module, the same vista drivers solved this issue as well.

I have a WIFI setup at home i.e a ADSL connection is connected to a Netgear Wireless router, since the wireless modules were installed without any issue I was able to connect to the internet within seconds. Speaking of WIFI I even got to use the Windows 7’s homegroup feature that enabled me to access all the specified data on my desktop wirelessly without actually sharing the folder the old school way. Apart from the new visual interface of 7 this homegroup feature really excites me.

New Dell Latitude Z Laptop With Unique Colors Hits US.

The Latitude Z is the latest high end, ultra slim laptop from Dell Australia. Unveiled this week in America, the Latitude Z is Dell’s lightest personal computer to date, weighing in at just 2kg and only 1.25cm in height! has been flying around for months, and we here at Computer Coupons mentioned it way back in May.

The Latitude Z also features a great selection of snazzy features, including inductive charging, which allows the computer to recharge on a stand without having to be connected to a mains supply. New features also include EdgeTouch, which allows users to scroll through web pages and alter volume levels by sliding a finger on the side of the screen, and angled ports at the rear to lead cords away from the laptop. The Latitude Z comes in an unusual colour too, a dark purple which Dell is calling ‘Black Cherry’ , which eludes class and exclusivity, though it’s sure to come with a price tag to match!

This appears to be Dell’s first warning shot across the bows of Apple, to let them know that they are gearing up for a battle in the micro light computer market. Whether the Macbook Air is quaking in it’s brushed aluminum boots is anyone’s guess, but from the looks of the Latitude Z, I think a few people at Apple HQ may be sitting up to take notice.

Canon's New Nova DSLR camera is like a game controller

We haven’t featured a gadget or technology concept in a while but this one caught our attention. If you’re keen on photography, you probably have got a DSLR camera. You’ll probably also realise the most inconvenient thing about these professional gadgets – they’re heavy and bulky. This latest Nova DSLR camera concept by Erin Fong tries to tackle these issues.

The camera is shaped like a game console controller, has two arms extending from the main camera body, which are designed to facilitate both left and right handed users. Getting the control buttons onto the extension arms, the Nova DSLR makes it easy to click photos and search through other features. In addition, the arms can be jabbed back together to function as one extension making the camera even more versatile in utility.

We can’t help it wondering one thing though, its pictures may turn out to be abit fuzzy as this design does appear to us as not the steadiest to hold! Nevertheless, an excellent, innovative idea.

The Nova DSLR Camera takes different forms with the mobility of the camera arms, giving comfort to left-handed and right-handed users. In addition, the buttons are located at the fingertips allowing users to simultaneously take pictures and easily locate the features they need. Whether the Nova is used with one or two handles, the flexibility of the camera’s form gives users a greater versatility in image capturing along with an enjoyable experience while using the Nova camera.

Samsung unveils Oled Laptop for 2010 Tech at its best!

Samsung says we could get the first commercial OLED laptops a year from now.

Speaking at the official IFA launch of the X-Series and N-Series notebooks and netbooks, Kyu Uhm, Head of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for Samsung's Computing Division, said that the company would look to release towards the end of 2010.

"Samsung is the largest OLED screen manufacturer. And as soon as it's available commercially for laptops we will adopt it," he said. After a hushed word from a colleague he added the reveal: "Probably sometime Q3 next year."

That means a year from now we'll have OLED notebooks. Possibly. Patrick Povel, European Senior Product Manager, was quick to add that analyst Gartner believes mainstream OLED notebooks will become the norm over the next half-decade. And Samsung is clearly set on the idea, having previously shown off an OLED prototype notebook.

Povel had previously spoken about the PC becoming more personal than ever before, and that the days of one PC per household are gone. "We're moving towards one PC per person, the computer is becoming personal... the growth is coming from the low end," he added as he talked up the N-Series netbooks.

He explained that the X-Series – powered by low voltage Intel chips – are the best compromise between power and mobility, and that customers had sometimes been disappointed by the lack of netbook power.

"60 per cent of people don't know the difference between a notebook and a netbook," he explained, referring to a recent survey. "Why do they buy a new notebook? Because they're not satisfied with the performance."

"The netbook car drives at 100km/h, some of our competitors drive at 150km/h. The target for [us is] 200km/h.

"With the X-Series gone are the days when you had to choose between style and performance," added Povel. "The on-the-go user needs some better performance and larger screens."

Advent Centurion, Firefly and Verona: Hiding Monsters.

On the -29th day of Christmas, Advent gave to we, a laptop and two ultra-cheap PCs. Sorry, that neither rhymes nor makes sense, but it is true: the high-street retailer's just unveiled the Centurion gaming desktop, the Firefly budget home PC, and the lightweight Verona laptop.

The Verona, according to Advent, is designed with mobility in mind. It's the proud owner of a 13-inch display, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. If we were in its shoes, we'd be rather less proud of the anaemic Intel Celeron 743 processor. It's the Usain Bolt of laptop processors -- if Usain Bolt gained 15 stone and a bad case of gout.

The Centurion is better equipped. It's pimped out with a Core 2 Quad Q8300 CPU, a very generous 1TB hard drive, 6GB of RAM and a gaming-capable Nvidia GeForce GT230 graphics card -- all for a totally reasonable £799. If that's too rich for your Christmas blood, there's always the Advent Firefly, which has a slightly more sedate Intel Pentium E5300 dual-core chip, 2GB of RAM, 320GB of disk space, built-in Wi-Fi and Windows 7 Home Premium -- all for £379.

All three will be available from PC World, Currys and Dixons very shortly.

MSI CX600 An Affordable laptop to get for christmas.

If we had a penny for every time someone asked us what laptop to buy this Christmas, we'd have about £486.39, which is exactly what it costs to purchase the decidedly Yuletide-budget-friendly MSI CX600.

It may be cheap, but it has one of the best specifications of any laptop in its price bracket. It uses a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 CPU, 4GB of RAM (although only 3GB is usable, due to the 32-bit copy of Windows 7 Home Premium), a 250GB hard drive and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics card that'll let you play 3D games. Impressive, no?

There are problems, though. The 16-inch, 1,366x768-pixel screen isn't bad, but the system doesn't have an HDMI or DVI digital video output, which is pretty inexcusable these days. We also don't like the black and grey chassis. It's not ugly by any stretch of the imagination, but it's the sort of thing we'd only recommend if you're trying to bring dreary back.

We'll be putting the CX600 through its paces in a full review very shortly, but, if you want one for yourself right now, head on over to Ebuyer (or a similar site) and fork out the cash.

Hp's New Monster - Mini Notebook Full Review.

HP Mini notebook has been a success among business class gadgets and today we have decided to review one of our favorites: the HP Mini 2140. This small notebook (which is actually a netbook because that is the main reason it was designed for: surfing the internet) has a very solid chassis, made from aluminum and magnesium, the link of materials used nowadays to produce durable laptops.


This 10.1 HP has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor with 1 GB of RAM. We really like the design of the notebook even it to some it may seem pretty dull; we think it's very elegant and business-looking like and it does not have that glossy lid that most small notebooks do, the one that make the computer look like it's made from cheap plastic. You have two solid hinges that are made of metal alloy just to make sure the display stays in place. One of the things that surprised us was the fact that this HP Mini notebook only has 2 USB ports instead of 3. Maybe it's because that ExpressCard slot takes up a lot of space. Compared to the previous HP mini model, the 2140 does not have any heating problems. That may be due to the Intel Atom processor which is not that powerful. We would give the keyboard an A+. HP really took advantage of all the free space it could find and the keyboard was stretched right to the edges of the notebook. The silver keys look like Scrabble pieces because they were all so flat. That is not a problem; you can type on these just as well as you can type on concave keys.

Unfortunately, we have found the same problem with this touchpad as with some other touchpads of Acer Aspire One models. The left and right mouse buttons are placed on both sides of the touchpad instead of underneath it. On the right side you can notice a small and faded line which is actually the scroll function; very useful for reading documents or web pages. The display is ok if you consider the size of the notebook (a bit too glossy for my taste). If you are not used to working with such small notebooks, you will easily become frustrated at first with the fact that the size of the screen allows you to read fewer text lines at once so you just have to keep on scrolling. You can choose between the 3-cell and the 6-cell battery. If you push the limits and use this small notebook at full display brightness and surfing the internet with wireless turned on, then you will get about 2 hours and 10 minutes of battery life. In our opinion, this is pretty nasty, since there is a lot of competition out there who can give you better features (at least as far as battery life is concerned). If you turn of the wireless features and use the notebook just to read/write a document then you will probably get around 3 hours of battery life.



As you can imagine, this HP Mini notebook also comes with a lot of preinstalled software. We have found the McAfee antivirus and the Microsoft Office trial versions to be pretty useful (at least until you can purchase the full versions). We also liked the Desktop Zoom feature because it's easier and faster to enlarge your desktop without having to change the resolution. Since you also have a webcam, HP has installed some useful software that will help you take photos or record audio and video tracks. As far as performance goes, this notebook runs quite well taking into consideration that it does not exactly have the latest technology inside. The Intel Atom processor is a good choice for a notebook the size of the Mini 2140 because you will mostly use it for your basic computer tasks and this was never designed to be your main computer. The HP Mini 2140 should have no trouble in letting you browse some internet pages, write an e-mail and edit a text document at the same time. Even if it's not exactly fast, it's an ideal choice for travelers that need to stay in touch wherever they are (common businessman feature). The speakers are ok and they produce decent sound. You could listen to some music if you are alone in a small room and really enjoy it but we still suggest you buy a good set of headphones or external speakers.



The graphics card is an Intel GMA 950 and watching some videos or playing Monopoly is pretty much everything you can do with it. The number of ports and connections should satisfy you like it satisfied us because 2 USB ports, an Express Card and SD card slot, VGA out, Ethernet port plus headphones and microphone jack are enough. Also 160 GB of free disk space should be enough for you to store all you files and folders even if you are away from your main computer for a very long time. Along with the 0.3 mega pixel webcam you also get an integrated microphone which should come in handy when you want to have a conference call or just video chat with your friends or family when you are travelling.

You can get everything we told you about above for a price of $450 dollars. Of course, there are cheaper options with similar specs but we didn't like the toy-look on them. The HP Mini 2140 has a business allure we really admire and we recommend it for those who want to show everyone they are not fooling around. We think it's a reasonable price if you consider other such notebooks like the Sony VAIO Lifestyle PC which is addressed to the same market segment. For you money, you will get some benefits that you may not find on other notebooks, like the spill resistant keyboard and the solid and durable chassis. You can also buy the 6-cell battery which HP claims will keep your notebook running about 8 hours

New VAIO notebook Now Style Also Matters.

The Sony Vaio P Series (also known as the Sony Vaio Lifestyle notebook) is one of the best and top rated small notebooks available on the market. Not only is it good looking it is also very expensive. This small notebook is actually called a netbook because you will mostly use it for internet purposes.

It has an 8 inch screen which will probably fit inside your pocket. For the price of $900 you will be the proud owner of a beautiful notebook. This is the best glossy notebook we have ever seen and it looks really luxurious. This is more than an notebook, it's a fashion accessory. It is also very solid despite its size and weight although, it's very easy to scratch so make sure there is nothing sharp in your bag or purse. Unfortunately you don't have many possibilities to upgrade the Vaio Lifestyle notebook because the RAM is soldered to the mother board and you can't separate. You can get your notebook with Windows Vista Basic or Windows 7 operating system because they let you make the best out of this notebook. Next to the power button there is another button which you will find very useful. People said they want faster access to certain programs like Mozilla FireFox or other internet applications (e-mail or chat programs) and with the help of this button you can get instant online access in less than 20 sec.

The keyboard may be a problem for people that have big hands but we will still think its pretty okay considering the sizes of the notebook. You will get use to the size of the keys in no time. Doe to the lack of space, Sony have to make some sacrifices so the Vaio Lifestyle notebook has no touchpad. Instead you can use a pointing stick which is easy to use and you want miss the touchpad very much. Below the SPACEBAR you will find the left and right mouse buttons. We could not believe our eyes when we saw that the 8 inch display was a 1600x768 resolution. Even if you have some scrolling to do, reading big documents or Web pages is not as difficult as is seems. You also have a "zoom tool" that increases the size of the text without have to change the screen resolution. For such a small notebook you get the right amount of ports and connections. You have 2 USB ports, a dedicated expansion port (for Ethernet and VGA out), 2 Memory Card Readers plus a headphone and microphone jack.



The Sony Vaio Lifestyle notebook is less powerful than it is beautiful. You can imagine that Sony could not put powerful components in such a small space as this would have cause series ventilation problems. This notebook has a 1.33 GHz Intel Atom processor with 2 GB DDR2 RAM. The weak processor helps save up some battery life which is more important than having a powerful processor in such a small notebook. You can still perform your usual Web surfing, document reading and Microsoft Office using but you certainly can't play games or expect too much multimedia performance. The graphics card is an Intel GMA 500 and you have 64GB of disk space. It seems the notebook runs better when using Windows 7. The speakers are not that good but this is no surprise coming from such a small notebook. In fact, we can compare the sound of this notebook with the speaker option of a cell-phone. However, if you want to listen to some music we recommend you buy a good set of headphones or maybe attach some external speakers. Since of components are cramped up in such a small space, this notebook will produce a big amount of heat. It should be okay if you use it for basic tasks like writing an email, surfing the internet or reading and writing a document. If you use the 4-cell battery you should get 2 hours and 39 minutes of battery life but with the 6-cell battery you can use this notebook for 4 hours. If you wish to extend the battery life you can lower the brightness and turn off the wireless feature.



Sony has managed once again to come up with a very special gadget for all technologies fans. Just by the title "Lifestyle PC" you can tell that this notebook is dedicated to the premium segment and it is not a machine that anyone can afford. Its most stiff competition is probably the HP Mini10 Vivienne Tam limited edition notebook which is as expensive as this Sony Vaio. But the HP has such a high price because the exterior has been redesigned by a famous American fashion house and that notebook is more of a fashion statement than any other notebook on the market. Even if the design of these two netbooks toes not exactly compare, the Sony Vaio Lifestyle PC is better rated than any other notebook.

The All New Nvidia Tegra Tablet.

Hey, remember that mystery tablet NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was pimping a mere couple of weeks ago? Well, it's made its way to London, and woe betide the Engadget editor who didn't get a hands-on with such an exclusive piece of hardware. So what we're looking at here is a Windows CE-powered, resistive touchscreen display spanning somewhere around 15 or 16 inches, with the same Tegra internals as may be found in the Zune HD or one of them smart book devices. As we reported earlier , the company behind the machine is ICD, and this particular unit was built to try and entice T-Mobile into placing a few orders.

Being a prototype, the device on hand was quite literally rough around the edges, but what we saw was appetite-whetting. The overall construction is under an inch thin, 720p video playback was excellent, and there's even a terrific-looking wireless recharge station cum base accessory -- think of Palm's Touchstone, only enlarged and magnetized to the point where it can support the whole tablet in an upright position. If somebody marries all that hardware potential with the Stantum multi touch firmware and a more finger-friendly OS, this thing just might make the whole Apple tablet brouhaha utterly irrelevant. Video after the break.

Is Microsoft about to ditch windows mobile?

A recent article by UK's The Guardian suggests that Microsoft could abandon Windows Mobile entirely should its next version, Windows Mobile 7, fail to reverse the decline of its market share in the mobile device space.

Recent numbers give Windows Mobile a 7.9 percent share in Q3 2009, a drop from 11 percent in the same quarter a year ago. And things do not appear to be getting rosier with an increasing number of device manufacturers throwing their support towards other operating systems. Among these, HTC (Windows Mobile's largest partner) and Motorola both have plans to offer more devices powered by Google Android. In fact, Android's share has grown to 3.9 percent in the same period that Microsoft's dropped 3.1 percent. Add Apple and RIM's growing shares and it's clear that Microsoft has some fearsome opposition.

Should Windows Mobile's market share continue to decline, a number of analysts have speculated that Microsoft could simply stop developing Windows Mobile and possibly even withdraw entirely.

Personally, I don't see Microsoft abandoning the market. Instead, I would expect Microsoft to buy out a competitor like Palm or even RIM and take its strategy in a new direction if things do not improve in the next couple of years.

Asus Newest ion Laptop The EeePC 1201

ASUS is now ready to release their newest ION netbook, the ASUS EeePC 1201. Hewlett-Packard, Lenevo, and Samsung have all featured new ION netbooks, so you knew that ASUS would be quick to follow.

The ASUS 1201 has many similarities to its predecessors. It still features the Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics chipset, but now it is bundled with a dual- core N330 Atom processor. The newest ASUS netbook really has been improved in the best possible ways.

I personally really like the look of this netbook. It is very long and slim and is enveloped in a shiny plastic that is available in black or silver. It weighs a mere 3.1 pound, making it the lightest 12-inch screen netbook on the market. The fact that it has a 12-inch screen is impressive, as most netbooks only have 10-inch screens. It also features incredible 1,366 x 768 resolution which is not found in many other netbooks. An element that is new to ASUS netbooks is the full size keyboard, which definitely comes in handy.

The specs on the ASUS 1201 are pretty standard for netbooks. It includes a 250GB hard drive, three USB ports, a media card reader, an Ethernet port, and a webcam. The dual-core Atom processor found in the ASUS 1201 is the first to be used in a netbook. This improves performance considerably. The 1201 also ships standard with 2GB of RAM and features a 6-cell battery that allows up to 5 hours of battery life.

There are two main benefits with the ION platform. You will be able to play all kinds of computer games with absolutely no restrictions and also be able to have smooth 1080p HD playback.

At $499, I feel that the ASUS EeePC 1201 is quite a good deal. With all the standard features plus the dual-core Atom processor, 12-inch screen, and 2GB of RAM, this little netbook stands out among the other similarly priced netbooks. This is definitely one to keep in mind.
