SlashGear Week in Review – Week 33 2008

, Aug 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

More laptops, netbooks and mobile workstations than you could shake the proverbial stick at this week, with fresh offerings (and more than a few rumors) from many of the big companies.  HP took the wraps off of three mobile workstations, complete with an amazing 17-inch DreamColor option, while Dell and Lenovo both had a version of their own.  Dell went for pure specs, with a maximum 16GB of RAM in their Precision, while Lenovo took a more offbeat view and added a digitizer panel in their W700′s palmrest.

A little more compact, Dell launched their fourth generation Latitude E-series models, and SlashGear was in San Francisco to bring you live images.  Dell’s attempt for the headlines included 19hr battery life (on one particular model) and Instant On functionality.  All well and good, but Gateway perhaps just eases ahead in the bargain stakes with their new P-7811FX Centrino 2 gaming notebook.

Gateway P-7811FX notebook: a Centrino 2 bargain?

, Aug 13th 2008 Discuss [0]

Gateway have announced a new Centrino 2 notebook, the first from the company with Intel's latest mobile chipset.  The P-7811FX continues the design theme of previous FX-series laptops (such as the P-6831FX we reviewed in March) but adds a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 processor (3MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB), NVIDIA GeForce 9800M 512MB graphics and a 17-inch 1920 x 1200 widescreen display.   Read The Full Story

SlashGear Week in Review – June 15th

, Jun 15th 2008 Discuss [0]

Unsurprisingly the iPhone 3G has overshadowed just about all other news this week, with Steve Jobs taking to the Keynote stage at WWDC 2008 on Monday and announcing Apple’s updated cellphone.  Packing 3G, GPS, improved software and more into an only slightly thicker (and curvier) chassis, the iPhone 3G is destined to make waves when it launches on July 11th, especially given the lower price of $199 (for the 8GB model).  We live-blogged the Keynote and many of you were good enough to join us; check out our coverage here, and click over to iPhone Buzz for more up-to-the-minute iPhone news.

Gateway M-152XL 15.4-inch notebook: Unboxing & Review

, Jun 11th 2008 Discuss [0]

In a week when full-sized notebooks have wrenched back the focus from their budget ultraportable brethren, we’ve had Gateway’s M-152XL on the SlashGear test bench. With a 15.4-inch widescreen display, Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 processor and separate ATI Mobility Radeon graphics, packed into a 6.2 pound chassis, Gateway’s latest is really looking to take pride of place as a desktop replacement. It’s a competitive niche in the sector, though, so is the M-152XL up to the task?

eMachines catches budget computing bug – coughs up T5254 and T3646 desktops

, Apr 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

These two new machines from Acer’s subsidiary Gateway’s subsidiary eMachines are squarely aimed at users that will never use the max capacity of a quad-core processor with 13GB of RAM and 657GB of HDD storage in RAID 0 using SAS or some other junk like that. They are prices at $299.99 and $399.99 just to give you a hint, but neither of them is systems to scoff at. Read The Full Story

Gateway P-6831FX Gaming Laptop Review

, Mar 18th 2008 Discuss [11]

Packing a laptop with a full-sized keyboard, screen bigger than many use with their desktop and the sort of specs that gobble through even the most capacious of batteries has always struck me as cheating a little. Call me old fashioned, but I do like my notebook to be portable and my desktop to be sturdy; Gateway, however, weren’t willing to stop at just calling me names. They sent over their 17-inch P-6831FX, resplendent with orange pinstripes and dedicated NVIDIA GeForce graphics, to show that just because a laptop is large, it doesn’t mean it can’t be agile too.

Gateway CEO retiring early next year

, Dec 14th 2007 Discuss [0]

Just when I thought all the news of these tech industry CEO’s being fired, or just quitting was through, here comes another from Gateway, the computer manufacturer. Mr. Ed Coleman’s decision was largely due to Acer, another computer manufacturer, buying out Gateway as of October. Before Gateway was purchased, it had its own line of PCs, a more generic brand of PCs under the brand of eMachines, and they had just gotten effective control over Packard Bell, so now Acer owns all of that too. That’s quite a prolific career Mr. Coleman, best of luck in all your future endeavors. Read The Full Story

Dell XPS ONE on sale now

, Nov 16th 2007 Discuss [0]

The prices are from $1499 to $2399 in one of 4 pre-configured configurations. The max out with an Intel C2D E6550, 2GB of RAM, Bluetooth 2.0, an 8-in-1 card reader, WiFi in a/b/g/n flavors, a 256MB ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO, and a half terabyte 7200 RPM HDD. Not a bad computer all in, its just too bad Dell doesn’t have a brain of their own and they have to not only leech PC designs from other companies (Apple, Gateway), but they also have to go so far as to steal the name too (Gateway ONE). God, I hope to god that Gateway sues their asses off. Read The Full Story
