Toshiba’s Satellite range went through a shake-up back in April, arguably in an attempt to bring some of the multimedia Qosmio gloss to its more bread & butter machines. Out went drab casings and middle of the road specs, replaced with a stylish new design and the promise of healthy performance. SlashGear has been taking [...]
Not much information on this, yet, but according to early reports this is a dual-touchscreen notebook prototype from ASUS. Buried in among the Eees and projector-sporting laptops at Computex 2008, the device uses two MultiTouch-capable LCD panels, with the lower display used for a QWERTY keyboard and touchpad. The concept is similar, in fact, to OLPC’s XO-2.
Perhaps somebody at VIA forgot to send FIC the OpenBook memo, but the company has just unveiled a new budget ultraportable seemingly based on the previous-gen NanoBook reference design. The notebook is unusual because FIC intend both VIA and Intel powered versions: the CE2A1 will run VIA’s C7 processor while the CW0A1 is based on Intel’s [...]
While most budget ultraportable manufacturers have been jumping up and down, screaming across Computex that we look at their notebooks, Dell has remained all but silent on the subject of its upcoming rival. What we do know, courtesy of an international briefing held in Dell’s Texas headquarters, is that the company has decided on a [...]
Leaving it tucked in among the various models of Eee, ASUS has also brought this full-sized notebook prototype to Computex. While at first glance it seems to be notable for its impressively deep forehead, the reason for the blocky brow is a built-in pico projector that can be used for impromptu presentations. The projector unit swivels [...]
Although it can sometimes be tricky telling the difference between all these budget ultraportable notebooks, ECS’ G10IL always had the distinguishing factor of coming with 3G HSPA as standard. While an April launch was originally slated, for one reason or another - an Atom delay, perhaps? - it’s yet to hit the market. Laptop Mag [...]
Mere hours after AMD announced their new Puma platform, Toshiba has stepped up as the first manufacturer to confirm they will be featuring the Turion-based technology in their notebook PCs. Six models in the Satellite range will be offered with both Turion and Athlon options, available at some point over the Summer. Three versions of [...]
While at one point it looked like Sony could be the first to sign up for VIA’s OpenBook budget ultraportable reference design and its Nano processor, all is quiet from the Japanese giant; instead, TongFang has the first official use of the Nano CPU we’ve seen. Their Imini S1 Mini-Note couples the 1.2GHz processor with the VIA VX700 chipset, [...]
Some of us have or have had that laptop that is way too hot to just place on your lap. Either you feel like you’re in a sauna or it gets so burning hot it ends up scalding your lap. Even my MacBook doesn’t get super hot, but after a little while it [...]
It’s getting increasingly difficult to feign excitement over budget ultraportables, so suffice to say here’s GeCube’s offering. Based on a 1.6GHz VIA C7-D processor, it has 512MB of DDR2 533 (expandable to 1GB), a 10.2-inch display running at 1024 x 600 and an 80GB hard-drive. Three USB ports, 10/100 ethernet and WiFi b/g is par [...]
