By Chris Davies on Thursday, Nov 5th 2009 No Comments

Having heard earlier this week that Apple had blocked Atom processor support in their latest build of OS X 10.6.2, we're now being told that the low-power Intel CPU has once again been welcomed back into the Mac fold. A newer 10.6.2 build, 10C535, has restored Atom support, meaning owners of netbook-turned-Hackint0sh machines may not be left without the latest software in their DIY Apple ultraportables.

Stealth LPC-395F fanless rugged mini-PC crying out for in-car installation

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Nov 3rd 2009 No Comments

While we often can be found heaping scorn onto the me-too Atom N270 netbook ranges that pass our viewing window, Intel’s low-power chip does occasionally find its way into an interesting machine. Stealth Computer have slotted the 1.6GHz chip into their latest “Little PC”, the Stealth LPC-395F, a fanless nettop with a ruggedized chassis and front-loading 2.5-inch hard-drive bay.

Apple blocking Atom support in OS X 10.6.2

By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 2nd 2009 No Comments

Apple may be reluctant to launch a netbook – and given their financial success selling mid- to high-end notebooks we can’t really blame them – has spawned a busy community of Hackint0sh creators, many of whom turn to humble Atom-based netbooks such as the MSI Wind for use as donor machines for OS X. All that might change, however, with the news that Apple have tweaked Mac OS X 10.6.2, their upcoming operating-system update, to prevent installation on Atom-based computers.

By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 2nd 2009 No Comments

When companies like ASUS are reasonably legitimately launching desktop supercomputers, describing your performance PC as a “personal supercomputer” seems like asking for trouble. Still, that’s how Maingear are referring to their latest desktop, the SHIFT, packing as it does a choice of Intel Core i7 processor, stacks of DDR3-1600 memory, Asetek liquid-cooling and a choice of up to six regular hard-drives or twelve SSDs.

Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z all-in-one: dull specs, speedy start-up

By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 2nd 2009 No Comments

Remember Lenovo’s mysterious all-in-one that showed up in the company’s Flickr stream last week? The desktop has been named and detailed today, as the Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z, and while it’s targeted at small and medium businesses there’s still plenty of appeal if you like your desktops functional rather than showy. The ThinkCentre A70z has a choice of Intel Celeron or Core 2 Duo processors, 19-inch display and – while the specifications are really nothing to get excited about – does at least do a convincing impression of a simple LCD monitor.
