ASUS spices things up with 16-inch F50 / 17.3-inch F70 laptops

Posted on January 18, 2009 by Dexter Panganiban

The new F50 and F70 lines from ASUS, but upon further investigation, each family does actually do a decent job of differentiating. Both crews sport the "new generation Infusion styling," which is reportedly exactly like looking at the Aurora Borealis (really, ASUS?), and they also boast Full HD (1080p) panels, an HDMI port and a fresh "Chocolate keyboard". The whole lot also features the Express Gate instant-on OS, and hardware geeks will appreciate the upwards of 1TB of HDD space and optional Blu-ray drive.

X-Ray Picture of MacBook

X-Ray Picture of MacBook

Have you seen an xray picture of macbook ? Well this is your chance to see it ..

About a week ago, I was in the mood to do something crazy — anything to help pull myself out of the blue funk I had fallen into. I texted my brother the vet to ask if he had an x-ray machine in his office, and what size his film plates were. I told him that I wanted to try and x-ray my laptop, something that had been on my mind ever since I saw an x-ray of an Apple Titanium PowerBook. He said “No problem,” and two days later I was sitting in his office waiting for him to finish minor surgery on a dog. When he was done and had washed up, he led me to the x-ray machine, asked me to place the laptop on the plate, and signaled for me to step away from the machine. A couple of seconds later the x-ray was done, and after 15 minutes his assistant handed me the developed film. I scanned the developed plate and enhanced the brightness and contrast, and made low-res copies of the file.

Sony’s new Vaio TT Series Notebook : Quantum of Sollace Vaio TT Laptop

Above shown is the new Sony’s new Vaio TT Series Notebook. It’s a tiny thing, with an 11.1" widescreen display. 2GB of RAM, a 64GB Solid Date Drive and HDMI out.

Where confusion sets in: Sony is marketing this as a laptop meant for a super spy, with a highly visible "007" branding on both the inside and outside of the case. Now will this branding will lead to a mass selling of this Product. My Wife Vaio is really great compare to Acer. So I know this will be too

Portégé R600 Laptop With Nine Hour Battery Life

Posted on October 11, 2008 by Dexter Panganiban

Portégé R600 (note the preponderance of accent aigus, indicating its French Canadian market) is Toshiba’s latest laptopز

It’s not a powerhouse: a 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ULV processor, a 160GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM, but it weighs less than two and a half pounds and, most impressively, promises nine hour battery life, for a little over a couple grand.

I have used Toshiba Laptop before and I must say that Toshiba laptop is a brand where you can depend on.

MSI: Wind Coming to Major Retailer, New Models Coming Soon

Posted on October 5, 2008 by Dexter Panganiban

There will be a new MSI Wind with following specification

The Wind U100 will be available at a national, and very large retailer in the coming week. The Wind with a 3-cell battery and Windows XP will be priced at $399.
MSI will expand the Wind product line with a business-focused Wind U120 (or what he kept calling the Wind 2). The Wind U120 will have a whole new look, SSD and hard drive options, and 3.5G connectivity. It will hit the U.S. in late November or December and will be priced under $600.
Linux netbooks are returned 4 times as often as ones that run Windows XP.
The Wind Desktop will be brought to the U.S. in the coming months.

Here are some of the question which was tried to be answered by MSI’s Director of U.S. Sales Andy Tung

The Wind U100 has been a global hit. Can you share anything about its success?

It seems as though brick-and-mortar retailers have been hesitant to stock netbooks or have even ignored them, at least until now. Why do you think that is?

You mention the return rates being high. Has that been the case with the Wind as well?

Interestingly enough, we struggled with the Linux version of the Wind U90. Are there plans to tailor a Linux OS for the Wind?

Part of MSI’s business plan has been to team up with other OEMs and let them rebrand the Wind under there name. What is the business model there?

On the shelves then, what will differentiate the MSI Wind from the rebranded models?

Some individuals still struggle to buy a Wind U100 with a six cell battery through e-tailers such as Amazon.com. Have you caught up on production of the system and the batteries?

There have been rumors of a nine-cell battery. How much runtime do you expect that to bring to the Wind?

Is there anything about the original Wind you wish you could improve?

Are the plans then moving forward to expand the Wind product line?

What types of specifications will the U120 or Wind 2 have?

Any plans for a dual-core Atom processor in this version? Or mobile broadband?

Any idea of the pricing of the U120?

Any plans to release the Wind Desktop in the U.S.?

With Lenovo and Samsung entering the market with 10-inch netbooks, how do you differentiate the Wind?

The Wind in some ways has made MSI more of a household name. Has the success of the Wind impacted MSIs core notebook business in any way?

Another reason why buying at this time of netbook is still necessary, There are lot of choices coming out.

Toshiba is looking to make said scenario seem like one that’s not so grim, as its prototype SCIB (Super Charge Ion Battery) purportedly has the potential to get 90% full in just 10 minutes.

Posted on October 4, 2008 by Dexter Panganiban

Blogging is an art and I believe that blogging can be done anywhere and anytime where ever you are. There are time that you want to blog a certain event or a certain thing but a problem will rise that you don’t have your machine with you. So what is my point ?

My point is, whenever you like Blogging as one source of your income mobility of your gadget is a must One might choose a netbook , a laptop or perhaps a tablet PC. The comfort that it may bring to you is really great. But you have also to choose those tablet Pc that weighs less because it will give you pain when ever you will travel.

A Printer is also an optional gadget that a blogger should have. What if you are going to a gathering and you need to print your calling card. So that is why it is must and as an additional better to keep hard copy of your earnings

If you are a type of senti blogger, Availing scanners is also great where you can scan your old pictures and datas that you may want to blog later.

Blogging is an art and how you express it is up to you. But remember to ask your reader

Sony is recalling Vaio laptop

Posted on September 7, 2008 by Dexter Panganiban

VAIO® Notebooks

It is now in the news that Sony is now recalling some Vaio laptops because of wiring faults that could cause overheating.

The recall concerns 19 Vaio models in the TZ series manufactured between May 2007 and July 2008 – but does not include models sold in the UK.

Sony said wires have been put in the wrong position near the hinge, while a flaw in the circuit board that controls the screen also may cause overheating.

The company said that a number of people had been burnt by the fault.

According to the company 373,000 of the Vaio laptops were sold worldwide in some 48 countries, with 67,000 sold in Japan. I still have to gather more information on what particular model needs to be recall

Mobile Broad Band Technology

Posted on August 13, 2008 by Dexter Panganiban

In a country like Saudi Arabia, there are some location where there are no Internet connection and there are times which you need to be connected in the net and be online. There are different ways to be connected online, you may use GPRS connection via cellphone or use mobile broad band connection.

GPRS Connection can be done using Bluetooth connection from Mobile Phone thru the Laptop, You may also use cable in connection.

Mobile Broad band connection uses a the USB modem (or dongle) into your laptop, and you just have to get a sim card like where you have to connect it in the dongle.

Some of my friends uses mobile broad band thru a know cellphone company here in Saudi Arabia. Based on their experience mobile broad band connection is better than Dial up connection thru the Phone. It is also better than DSL Connection if your DSL Connection is only 256 kb.

As a blogger being online always is necessary to be able to blog everything that may come to your way.

Some problem that maybe experience is the speed of broadband connection, Since when you are far from cell site of the company providing the connection there is always a possibility to have a distorted connection.

Of course it is better to do some speed test on different company that can provide the service that you need. Some suggestion in choosing those company is to choose those who already existed for a long time.

You have to make your subscription worthy.

Mobile broadband connection here in Saudi Arabia have fixed rate for month, so if you only seldom uses your connection and not always it is better not to get it. But if you are a business man or a blogger I think You have to get it so that not to miss any single opportunity to blog. Remember not all place have wifi where you can connect anytime and blog any information that you want to blog.

Final word at the end you have to decide whether you have to opt with this method or not, you better study you financial requirements before doing any decision in getting connection.

Usually the costly is the dongle and the monthly subscription is affordable.
