It will be called the Core 2 Extreme QX9300 and will cost $1,038 when you buy a thousand of them. When just the processor starts at over a thousand dollars and you’ll probably want SLI graphics, a nice screen, and a bunch of other stuff, you’re looking at one pricey notebook.
The best part about the 4GHz is that you get it times two, you see the SkullTrail platform is based on server boards repurposed for gaming, so most of them have two processor sockets in them. MainGear is sticking an Intel QX9775 Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor in each socket.
It’s a little bigger, but the concepts are the same. It has an 8 or 10 inch screen, a fair sized keyboard and is based on Intel’s Shelton platform with processors ranging from 1 to 1.5 Gigahertz.
Some of the things on that list are obviously the larger screen, but there is also the option of hard drives, an upgrade to up to 12GB of flash storage (still means my iPod Touch bests the Eee in storage and almost processing power), and they are getting an Intel upgrade to their Diamondville platform.

It’s a convertible tablet that measure in at 12.1” with a 1280×800 resolution. You get your choice of processors ranging from the power hungry Core 2 Duo T9500 running at 2.6GHz all the way down to a more battery friendly Celeron M at 1.73GHz.
CoolIT is jumping on the ESA or Enthusiast System Architecture bandwagon and has already begun producing component under that architecture. Their first product is the Freezone Elite processor cooler that is a fully enclosed liquid cooling solution that connects to your AMD or Intel processor and then connect to the fan slot just above the [...]
The R50 is the really small black one and is almost pocketable in size. The R70 is the larger one with the orange/red surrounding bezel.
Intel finally announced the official name for their new line of processors code-named Silverthorne. The new name? Atom Apparently, Intel’s new MID processor is extending the Centrino family although the architecture is quite a bit different. The Atom is earmarked for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and low cost PCs like the eeePC with its emphasis [...]
For some reason Circuit City thinks that if they open a new chain of stores meant to give you what you expect from a regular Circuit City you might shop there more often. They even gave it a name that’s slightly more “hip”, they are dubbing it “The City”.
