DELL XPS M2010

2009-12-01T21:10:00.000-08:00

It’s not easy life form king of the mount. In spite of being the main and one of the most gainful computer manufacturers worldwide, Dell does not have the personality of an Apple, the blue-blooded reputation of IBM or the glamour of Sony. What it does tender to consumers are attractive all-year-round discounts due to the lower costs sustained by its direct sales model and outstanding supply chain management. Arbitrator from its success, this commerce model works but Dell just does not inspire the same kind of brand loyalty that Apple or Sony can.

The company’s recent acquisition of enthusiast oriented PC boutique firm – Alien ware -may be a sign that Dell is aware of its moderately bland image and aims to broaden its appeal to this niche. However that doesn’t mean that its own XPS enthusiast line of computers will be neglected to play second fiddle, for the hip quotient for a Dell product just went through the roof with the latest XPS notebook, (if a monster of a system weighing more than 8kg could still fit that account) the Dell XPS M2010. A prototype was showcased at this year’s Consumer Electronic Show as a concept PC but apparently, it has crossed in surplus of from life form a fancy idea to reality. And like what its marketing praise claims, it’s certainly a showstopper.

The remarkably huge Dell XPS M2010 ‘notebook’ has a magnificent 20-inch widescreen LCD display. And no, that glossy circular thing is neither the subwoofer nor the drink coaster. It’s actually a cool slot-in DVD drive.

Picture a high-end performance desktop squeezed into the form factor of a notebook and you’ll get the Dell XPS M2010. However, its enlarged dimensions will stretch your idea of a notebook though Dell seems to be trying to de-emphasize the notebook aspect in its marketing. Decked out with the some of the best hardware mechanism that would put gaming rigs to shame, it is an exceptional integration of form and function that show off the company’s engineering and design prowess. It’s so unlike Dell’s typically nameless black boxes or their useful but barely sexy notebooks. In case you’re not convinced, how would you like to own one of these?

The adjustable screen can be brought forward so that it look like your orthodox notebook. However, you won’t be able to admission the DVD drive then. In any box, adjusting the screen to any height or angle within its routine means is easy, and surprisingly feels robust too.

latest laptop

2009-12-01T21:06:00.000-08:00

I quite like the dull black on my Vostro. These look alright but can’t see any on the UK site. I sometimes get the feeling that fancy designs on laptops are like “go faster stripes”.

Available today starting at $699

Unorthodox, adventurous contemporary art meets on-the-go technology with the inaugural Special Art Edition Inspiron 1525 laptop, featuring two exclusive artworks by Mike Ming.

Choose from “Bunch O Surfers” or “Sea Sky,” two unique designs that reflect Mike Ming’s quest to create art that relates to broad audiences, yet speaks directly to everyone.

The laptops are available for order today, starting at $699, at www.dell.com/art.

A new Dell manufacturing technique brings alive every color and brushstroke on the laptop’s cover, creating a fluid, graffiti-inspired tattoo effect that lets style pioneers add another level of individuality to everyday life.

The Inspiron 1525 is up to 25 percent smaller, thinner and almost a half a pound lighter than its predecessor. Consumers on the go will appreciate all of the optional wireless features that help them stay connected, whether it’s at the desk, in a room, around the house or just about anywhere in a wireless network.¹

Brooklyn-based artist Mike Ming (born Michael Miyahira) brings fascination with popular culture and life experiences to the canvas. “I wanted to create a sense of energy, playfulness, sophistication and psychedelic momentum when I started this,” said Ming. “This new technique from Dell brings my inspiration—water and the energy it produces—to life and gives computer aficionados their own display of style.”

“Our customers have asked that we continue to look at other areas of life, apart from technology, to help bring a sense of uniqueness to their computers,” said Ed Boyd, vice president of Consumer Experience Design at Dell. “Mike Ming and the other artists in the series represent the shift in the level of customer design input, a trend we’re excited to see continue.”

Sony Blue Ray DVD player

2009-12-01T15:53:00.000-08:00

Hey, who doesn't want a Blue Ray player? The DVD's have tons of awesome extra features like inlay menus, film stats and details while you're watching the movie, plus the standard DVD features like commentary and stuff. The picture is high-definition, which means the image quality is leaps and bounds above a standard DVD player and the sound has a greater depth as well. And, unlike the VCR to DVD (or Laserdisc to DVD) move, you can play your old DVD's on a Blue Ray player. The downside is that the player's run an average of about $800, and hell, $800 is a high price to pay to watch a really clear image of Lord Of The Rings. Luckily, it's price slashing time at Sony, and the BDP-5300 is down to $500! So, get on the High-Def trolley, because while DVD's were good, Blue-Ray is just better.

Blue Ray DVD Player

Samsung BD-UP5000 combo Blu-ray/HD DVD player

(Credit: Samsung)

Samsung announced final official details on two expensive Blu-ray players today, including the HD DVD-playin' BD-UP5000 we wrote about before, and a new home theater-in-a-box (HTiB) that incorporates a Blu-ray player, the HT-BD2. We're now told the BD-UP5000 will retail for $1,049, and the HT-BD2 will sell for $1,499. Both will ship sometime in the fourth quarter of this year, and will round out the company's five-model series of 2007 Blu-ray players.

After the LG BH-100, the Samsung BD-UP5000 will be the second player to handle both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs. It's the first to support the interactive layer of HD DVD, known as HDi, which enables full interactive-menu use. It also features, like all 2007 Samsung Blu-ray players, Ethernet ports, HDMI 1.3 ports and the ability to output 1080p/24 video from Blu-ray (but not HD DVD) discs, although in our tests of the Samsung BD-P1200 and other BD players, 1080p/24 was a letdown on the displays we tested. We did appreciate the BD-P1200's HQV video processing, however, which is also present on the BD-UP5000 and the Blu-ray-only BD-P2400. Like Denon's DVD-3800BDCI, the BD-UP5000 will also enable interactive features like picture-in-picture commentaries (for what they're worth). For all of you keeping track, we haven't confirmed yet whether the Samsung will actually comply with the BD-ROM Profile 1 Version 1.1 spec.

While we lauded the $1200 LG for the groundbreaking combo ability, we can't help but be disappointed in the price of combination players. As many have pointed out before, you can purchase a standalone Blu-ray player and a standalone HD DVD player separately for less money than the price of one of the combo players. One of these combo players also costs around the same price as an Xbox 360 Elite with the HD DVD drive and a PlayStation3, a combination that brings both next-gen disc playback and next-gen gaming.

The HT-BD2, meanwhile, is the first HTiB we've seen announced with a built-in Blu-ray player. That player has the same feature set as the BD-P1400 standalone player (in other words, no HQV processing), yet it stands as part of a 7.1-channel speaker system--that's five tower speakers, two satellite rear speakers and a powered sub--driven by 1,100 watts. Although those specs are impressive for an HTiB, we're skeptical about the HT-BD2's reception from the generally separates-oriented Blu-ray/HD DVD buyer.

WD's Eco-friendly, Cool and Quiet, WD Caviar® Green™ Drive Marks the Largest Capacity Hard Drive in the Industry

WD (NYSE: WDC) today announced the first 2 terabyte (TB) hard drive - the world's highest capacity drive and the latest addition to WD's popular, environmentally friendly, cool and quiet, WD® Caviar® Green™ hard drive family. This new 3.5-inch platform is based on WD's industry-leading 500 GB/platter technology (with 400 Gb/in2 areal density) with 32 MB cache, producing drives with capacities of up to 2 TB.

"While some in the industry wondered if the end consumer would buy a 1 TB drive, already some 10 percent of 3.5-inch hard drive sales are at the 1 TB level or higher, serving demand from video applications and expanding consumer media libraries," said Mark Geenen, President of Trend Focus. "The 2 TB hard drives will continue to satisfy end user's insatiable desire to store more data on ever larger hard drives."

WD Caviar Green is one of the most successful product lines in the company's recent history with its third-generation GreenPower™ technology, now providing 2 TB of proven reliable storage for today's high-resolution files and graphics. WD Caviar Green drives are designed for use in USB/FireWire®/eSATA external hard drives, desktop computers, workstations, and desktop RAID environments.

"Saving power without sacrificing storage capacity is what consumers want, and what many businesses are requiring today. With the launch of the new WD Caviar Green 2 TB hard drive, customers receive the additional capacities needed to operate today's highly advanced programs and high-resolution digital files while using less power than typical drives with similar performance and capacities," said Jim Morris, WD senior vice president and general manager of client systems.

Rock Solid Mechanical Architecture, Cool, Quiet Hard Drives
A number of advanced technologies enable the speed, capacity and performance of WD's Caviar Green 1.5 TB and 2 TB hard drives. Those include: StableTrac™, which secures the motor shaft at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking during read and write operations; IntelliPower™, which fine-tunes the balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance; IntelliSeek™, which calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise, and vibration¹; and NoTouch™ ramp load technology, which is designed to ensure the recording head never touches the disk media resulting in significantly less wear to the recording head and media, as well as better drive protection while in transit.

Availability and Pricing
The WD Caviar Green 2 TB is available at select resellers and distributors. MSRP for the WD Caviar Green 2 TB hard drives (model WD20EADS) is $299.00 USD.

Microsoft makes your PC talk in its sleep

2009-12-01T09:00:00.001-08:00

Looking a little out of place among some of the more exotic and photogenic exhibits at Microsoft Research's 'Innovation Day' in Cambridge today was a distinctly DIY-looking collection of circuit boards and wires called Somniloquy. Named after the medical term for talking in your sleep, this interesting project could eventually be another important piece of the power management jigsaw.

Microsoft researcher James Scott explained that Somniloquy - which is really an external network adapter with added intelligence - allows your PC to go to sleep while still presenting an 'active' state to networked applications. At the moment, if you put your PC into S3 or hybrid sleep mode, the network card is normally turned off and so your PC can't be reached over the network.

With Somniloquy, a small amount of power (about 4-5 watts in the prototype we saw) is drawn via the USB bus to maintain network connectivity. Traffic is monitored and buffered, and if packets are received - for example, a remote desktop connection - that require the PC to be turned on, it's instantly woken from the sleep state.

It's very much a work in progress. According to Scott, work started in 2007 in collaboration with researchers at the University of California, San Diego, and a technical paper has just been published. The hardware is designed around a commercially-available GumStix ARM-powered computer-on-a-module costing around $200

Somniloquy performs its magic by buffering network traffic and data on an SD card - in effect, it masquerades as the PC when the PC goes tro sleep. Many simple tasks can be achieved by bypassing the PC's processor and using Somniloquy's low-power CPU instead, saving even more energy. For example, it could download files to the SD card and wake up the PC to transfer data when it's full, then put the PC to sleep again until another batch of data is ready.

It will be fascinating to see if this idea makes it out of the research labs: Wake-on-LAN is much less flexible and is a nightmare to implement. Somiloquy could certainly help cure your PC's sleepless nights.

latest Epson printer

The Epson Stylus Photo RX700 multifunction printer does a fine job of scanning and printing photos.

400)this.width=400">
As a bonus, the Epson Stylus Photo RX700 also lets you print photos via integrated media slots.
The latest Epson multifunction printer, the Stylus Photo RX700, is made for photography. This $399 model comes equipped with a light in its lid for scanning film, and it uses six inks to print high-quality images.

The RX700 comes equipped with a plastic holder in which you can place a strip of negatives or individual slides; you can scan film images to your PC or make prints right away. In addition, you can print directly from a digital camera via the RX700's PictBridge port.

This scan-and-print ability in stand-alone mode isn't terribly fast. Making a copy of a color photo on our shipping unit took about 2 minutes, 40 seconds in Best Photo mode. However, the RX700 printed photos from a PC faster than other recently tested inkjet MFPs, doing so in 48 seconds. The unit also earned the best score for scan quality.

Text documents didn't print sharply or darkly enough for business use. But the RX700 excelled on photos, receiving our highest score for photo print quality on glossy paper. Prints made from film negatives looked impressive, too, though not quite as good as the output from lab prints. Prints generated from positive color film appeared as nice as well-made lab prints, though some blue patches in church frescoes seemed too vivid and flattened the illusion of depth.

I'd recommend the RX700 for anyone seeking a photo printer and scanner in one. Regrettably, its mediocre text output makes it less suitable as a general-purpose MFP.

Wireless Printer

2009-12-01T08:50:00.000-08:00

HP has released a new wireless printer. The HP photo smart C4380 is the latest in wireless printers. The printer was designed to run with no USB cables from the printer to the computer, after initial installation. The printer can be placed anywhere on your wireless network, that there is an electrical outlet.

Not only can you wireless print documents to the new photo smart wireless printer, you can also scan wirelessly to your desktop. This wireless printer is on the low end of the spectrum. The average retail price is approximately $150. Making it affordable to just about everyone.

My last two printers were HP inkjet printers, that printed pictures just fine and their cost was under $50. There are ways of setting up your wired printer that is attached to your desktop to print wirelessly from your laptop, but it proves to be a headache setting up the printer on your existing wireless network.

Core i9, Prosesor with '12 Brains'

2009-12-01T08:46:00.000-08:00

Perhaps Intel will release the latest titled Core processors around I5 September 2009. But outside of that, rumor to other processors from Intel have started to develop.

One is Gulftown the issued will appear with the name Core i9. This processor will have a physical brain 6 (core), but the system would have identified 12 brain (logical cores).

Yes, with 6 core processor has support for Hyper-threading in each core. So that the processor is able to handle 12 thread at a time.

As quoted from PC Games Hardware, Tuesday (28/7/2009), this processor can be used on Intel X58 based mainboard. This is not another pair mainboard Core i7. If that is true, Core i9 to be 'logical choice' for the Core i7 users who want to upgrade.

No official statement from Intel about the 'toy' is their latest. However, a handful of newspapers that circulate, the processor is called Core i9-called akan released in early 2010.

Intel processor naming style is indeed would presumably change. Range Core 2 Duo (Dual Core) and Core 2 Quad (Quad Core) will be called into the family also changed Core i3.

Asus P5N-E SLI Motherboard
You know that when building the perfect PC, the motherboard is as important as anything. That's why you should check out this Asus P5N-E SLI mobo. This motherboard supports the latest Intel® Quad-core processors in LGA775 package. It's excellent for multi-tasking, multi-media and enthusiastic gamers! It's designed for great performance and overclocking! With an NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI chipset and a front side bus capable of 1333/1066/533 MHz, your machine will be ready to chew up anything you feed it. Four 240-pin DIMM sockets support up to 8GB of DDR2 non-ECC unbuffered memory. DDR2 is the next generation memory technology to replace the current DDR. With the highest speed up to 800MHz, DDR2 memory provides great performance for 3D graphics and other memory demanding applications. This great platform has 2 PCI Express x16 slots, 1 PCI Express x1, and 2 PCI 2.2 slots! There's Gigabit LAN, support for up to 8 USB 2.0 ports, and tons more features! Check out the detailed specifications for all the goodies in this powerful motherboard. Don't settle for something less. Pick up the Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard today!

ASUS is responsible for making some of the industry's best motherboards, though many of them can also be the most expensive money can buy. Lucky for us, that is not the case with the P5N-E SLI we are testing today, at least not the expensive part.

When purchasing an ASUS motherboard, consumers are not just paying for a brand name. ASUS' build quality is excellent and more often than not, the overall package and bundled features are also very valuable. Recently however we were let down by an overrated and overpriced ASUS product that did nothing else but sell a brand name. That product is no other than ASUS' flagship Striker Extreme. This member of the “Republic of Gamers” costs a crazy $400, making it nearly untouchable to the real gaming and enthusiast crowd.

Although ASUS is happy to take your money for this overpriced board, they also seem to be aware of the importance to deliver a good value, high performance product for the rest of us. They came up with the P5N-E SLI which has been designed around the ultra-affordable Nvidia nForce 650i SLI chipset.

Out of all the new nForce 6-series chipsets, this is easily the smartest option for those that are seeking SLI support on the Core 2 Duo platform without all the extravagant options. Performance-wise the 650i SLI is every bit as good as the 680i SLI, so why does the P5N-E SLI cost just $140 when the competing ASUS 680i SLI board costs $270?

When it comes to features there is quite a lot missing from the 650i SLI, though none seem to have a real impact on performance. Motherboards equipped with the nForce 650i SLI miss out on 1333MHz FSB support (at least for now), EPP memory support, 28 PCI Express bus lanes, two SATA ports, two USB ports and one Gigabit LAN port. I would say most users can turn a blind eye to the missing ports, and at least some will ignore the lack of official 1333MHz FSB and EPP memory support, but the 28 missing PCI Express bus lanes sound kind of serious

Graphics Cards

2009-12-01T05:39:00.000-08:00

The card works in the PCI Express slots of both first-generation and second-generation Mac Pro systems, and features 512MB of 256-bit GDDR4 frame buffer memory and 320 stream processors. It’s designed as a graphics upgrade for Mac Pros — even those that may have come equipped with the Nvidia GeForce 8800 card introduced earlier this year. AMD claims its new Radeon card runs faster and costs less than the GeForce 8800 GT, which is only available from the Apple Store and costs $279.

The card sports two dual-link DVI interfaces, each capable of driving a 30-inch Apple Cinema HD displays. And like the ATI retail graphics cards that have come before it, it also sports an S-Video connector for attaching directly to an analog TV.

Radeon 3870 HD

AMD's newest ATI graphics card for the Mac - the Radeon HD 3870 Mac & PC Edition.

The card supports PCI Express 2.0, working with the faster interfaces of the expansion slots found on 2008-era Mac Pros. But it’s also backwards-compatible with the PCI Express architecture of Mac Pros produced previously, so it’ll work with either device straight out of the box. And as the name implies, it’s also compatible with Windows-based PCs.

ATI said that the Radeon HD 3800 series graphics processors provide up to twice the processing performance per watt that previous-generation AMD graphics processors possessed. The processor itself was crafted using 55 nanometer (nm) process technology, which allowed ATI to cram more processors into less space, and the new card sports “PowerPlay” — an ATI-branded system that manages power more efficiently depending on what you’re doing. It’s technology originally developed for the mobile market that AMD has integrated into the new desktop product.

The graphics processor can crank up to 70 gigabytes per second bandwidth using a 775MHz engine. That translates, according to AMD’s internal benchmarks, into 30 to 180 percent better performance in Apple’s Motion 3 software than the GeForce 8800; slow Motion performance has been an Achilles’ heel of Nvidia’s rival card since its introduction.

Gamers get a boost too — AMD claims the Radeon HD 3870 runs 15 percent faster in Unreal Tournament 2004, and modestly faster than that in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Quake 4, all at 1280 x 1024 resolution; 1024 x 768 resolution yields considerably better performance for the latter two games.

The entire board only occupies a single slot, including its fan. AMD confirmed that Mac Pro users can install two boards in the same Mac Pro, driving up to four 30-inch displays simultaneously. Unfortunately, its Mac boards don’t support “CrossFire,” the technology that AMD offers to PC users that enable them to connect its graphics processors in parallel. So each card would be performing independently

Samsung Mass Producing 1Gb DDR DRAM at 60nm

2009-12-01T02:01:00.001-08:00

Memory shrink to 60nm can double production efficiency.

amsung Electronics has announced that it has begun mass producing the industry’s first 1Gigabit DDR2 DRAM using 60 nanometer process technology. In its press release, Samsung estimates efficiency gains of the 60nm process are 40 percent over the 80nm, and twice the productivity of 90nm general process technology.

Samsung’s line up of 60nm 1Gb DRAM-based modules includes 512MB, 1GB and 2GB densities supporting either 667Mbps or 800Mbps speeds. Samsung anticipates such a high degree of receptivity to the 60nm process that it should drive greater demand for 1Gb DRAM chips in the near future over today’s mainstream density of 512Mb.

Samsung’s migration below 90nm has relied heavily on the use of three-dimensional transistor technologies to build increasingly smaller chips, a fundamentally unique approach toward finer circuit designs and higher yields. The use of metal-insulator metal (MIM) for its capacitors provides enhanced data storage in sub-70nm designs. Furthermore, the use of a recently-announced selective epitaxial growth (SEG) technology provides for a broader electron channel, and optimizes the speed of each chip’s electrons to reduce power consumption and enable higher performance
