New HP Mininote 2133

karen — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:05:08 +0000

What a fantastic little machine! It is so versatile and portable, and great when you need a lightweight and fully functional PC on the move. The screen colours are so vivid and clear. The HP 2133 is great for using on the move, but the screen is too small to use on an every day basis for extended times! The mini-note is great to look at and solidly put together but it’s beauty is more than skin deep. The size of the keyboard is a major advantage over similar products and is comfortable and responsive to type with. Its running in Vista too! If you want something ultra portable… buy this, it’s the best the market has to offer!!! It’s available now at any HP Store in Cebu and any NGenius IT Hub branch or call Ng Khai office at (32)3462926 an look foryour relationship manager or email info@ngkhai.com for reservations.

1 Billion PCs now, 2 billion in 2014

admin — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 23:30:40 +0000

Gartner counts over 1 billion PCs served | Green Tech - CNET News.com

The number of personal computers in use around the world has exceeded 1 billion and will double by 2014, with most growth coming from developing markets, according to Gartner research released Monday.

A 12 percent annual increase would amount to more than 2 billion PCs in use by 2014, according to a report that counted installed machines rather than laptops and desktops sold.

Emerging markets will account for 70 percent of the next billion PCs to come online, Gartner analysts suggested. They named dropping prices and improved Internet access as factors driving that trend.

Spotlight: Intel’s Wolfdale Dual Core:A New “Smart Buy”

karen — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:15:07 +0000

Intel’s 65nm chips are still going strong especially here in the Philippines, with the Q6600 starting to turn into a mainstream option for some shoppers wanting a bit more zing for their buck. If you’re looking into buying a new computer based around an Intel chip, I’d advise you to pause and join us as we take a look at a sample of the newest 45nm Intel product: the “Wolfdale” E8500.

The E8000 series is Intel’s “mainstream” CPU based on the 45nm process. It is the more affordable counterpart of Intel’s Q9650 Extreme that was meant for the enthusiast pocket. Just for clarification, the code name “Wolfdale” is specifically for the dual-core, desktop implementation of the 45nm process; “Penryn” on the other hand refers to the complete line of 45nm process chips that will be superseding the “Conroe” 65nm based CPUs. For now, we will explore the technical side of the chip, as compared to the previous Intel generation of popular mainstream processors. Read More.

The new IBM descendent Lenovo was able to find itself a place in the hard fought-over laptop market and still represents exclusivity and quality. The X200 takes its place as the Thinkpad X300’s baby brother.

Instead of a 13.3inch display, the X200 is even more compact, with a 12inch display and is available in SL, T, and R versions. Lenovo have chosen Core 2 Duo CPUs for these computers with clock rates of up to 2.4GHz. The X200’s main attraction however, alongside its less than 1kg weight and more than 9 hour battery duration, is its memory. Read more.

Lenovo IdeaPad U110 (11306)

karen — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 01:41:26 +0000

With a red lid that’s sure to turn heads, Lenovo’s IdeaPad U110 is an ultraportable laptop aimed at people who want something that’s very easy to carry and stylish as well. Its beauty isn’t just skin deep: there’s plenty of substance to this machine and it can swiftly run pretty much any office application you throw its way.

It’s based on a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 CPU, has 2GB of RAM and a 120GB, 4200rpm hard drive. It doesn’t use one of Intel’s Ultra Low Voltage CPUs, but a Low Voltage CPU instead. Low Voltage CPUs have higher clock speeds and larger caches. This means the IdeaPad U110 has plenty of grunt compared to many other ultraportables, but this is detrimental to its battery life. So much so that Lenovo ships the unit with a second, larger capacity battery. But if it’s performance in a lightweight package you want, then you can’t go wrong with the U110. Read more.
