Apple today unveiled their new MacBook Pro at a press event in Cupertino, California and like with the recent iPod chromium release, the rumors mostly turned out to be accurate. Thursday, 9 October 2008
Toshiba today released four new laptops, the most notable being their Portégé R600, which the company claims is the world’s lightest. The new model manages to undercut the MacBook Air by 0.6lbs, (which is even better than Samsung’s recent X360) despite being a fully-featured notebook equipped with an impressive 9-hour battery, a multi-format DVD writer and a fingerprint reader.

Good Ockie…(backing away slowly). We all love a bit of individualism and the freedom to express ourselves, whether that be through art, fashion, literature or a variety of other mediums. When it comes to gadgets, however, it’s usually what model and color you buy that is used to reflect your personality. Michael Dinges is showing the way with a range of engraved MacBooks that are so impressive, they are undeniably works of art in their own right. Thursday, 28 August 2008
Samsung has today unveiled their X360 (no xbox relation) notebook which it hopes will outdo Apple’s MacBook Air. The impressive offering was presented at the IFA consumer-electronics fair in Berlin and will feature Sammy’s next-gen 128GB SSD, finger-print scanner for security, 7-in-1 card reader and silver-nano particles on the keyboard to resist bacteria.

HP has announced an overhauled version of their Voodoo notebook line which steals the title of “world’s thinnest notebook away from Apple’s MacBook Air. The new version does away with its gaming focus in favour of a small, sleek notebook with a 13.3-inch display and an all-carbon fibre chassis. It is just .70-inch thick, bettering the Air’s thickest point of .76-inch. The Envy 133 features an instant-on Voodoo IOS mode that enables a user to go from power off to web browsing almost instantly. Users can also look at photos, chat and make Skype calls without loading Microsoft Windows which is a big plus for people on the go. The instant-on feature utilises a lightweight version of Linux and includes an optimised version of Firefox for web browsing, Pidgeon for instant messaging to virtually any IM platform plus a photo gallery and music player application. The power adapter is quite large but it also serves as a WiFi access point. The notebook is too thin to house an ethernet port, so it is built right into the power adapter. The 133’s base configuration will start at $2,099 in a black carbon fibre finish. A white version will also be available at launch. See also: Sources: Tuesday, 3 June 2008
The Asus 10-inch Eee PC 1000 has at long last been made official and will be available soon. Pricing has also been released which could see the 1000-series starting at $625.
The new sub-notebook is being shown at the Computex Information Technology show in Taiwan which began today. It will offer screen size and resolution superior to that of the first Eee laptop as well as a keyboard that is 92% the size of an average laptop keyboard which should please users who found the keyboard on the first model too small. Asus claims the new model will offer up to 7.5 hours of battery life (3.2 hours min.) thanks to a new 6-cell battery. The Eee PC 1000 will have a maximum capacity of 40GB on its SSD and will be Linux based. The Eee PC 1000(H) will offer a choice of either a 40GB SSD or an 80GB traditional hard disk and will run on either Windows XP or Linux. Both models will support a maximum of 2GB DDR2 memory and feature Intel’s new 1.6GHz Atom CPU. They will include 802.11n wireless networking as well as Bluetooth connectivity. A 1.3MP webcam will be included and they will be available in a wider range of colours than the previous model. Asus has sold more than 1 million Eee PC units since the Eee’s launch in October 2007. “With constant innovations and implementation of the latest technologies in the new Eee PC range, we have since expanded the original 3 ‘E’s into ‘Easy’, ‘Excellent’ and ‘Exciting’. ‘Easy’ will still encompass the core value of Easy to learn, work and play, ‘Excellent’ will highlight the Eee PC’s role as an Excellent mobile Internet device, and ‘Exciting’ entails utilizing the Eee PC for Exciting multimedia enjoyment.” says Jerry Shen, CEO of Asus.

Sony has released a brand new laptop called the VAIO VGC-LJ25L which has a 15.4 inch wide display but only half a keyboard. This design is not a prototype.
This laptop seems to be a substitute PC for around the home like in the kitchen for example. The company says it will make it easier to work in confined or narrow spaces. More ideal for quickly Googling something than working at for hours on end. It has already launched in Korea with a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 processor, 2GB of DDR2 memory, integrated X3100 graphics card (for simple tasks only – not for gaming), 200GB hard disk and dual-layer DVD burner. It features a built-in camera, a microphone plus built-in speakers and woofer. It is priced in Australia and Japan at around £1360/$2720. Photo credit: gadgetblind.com Wednesday, 14 May 2008
They are looking to reach 5.7 percent market share which means an additional 11 million units must be sold worldwide by 2011. This would seem impossible when you look at the figures – market share worldwide for Samsung has only grown from 1.2 percent in 2005 to 1.7 percent in 2007. Sony is Samsung’s nearest competitor with 6 percent market share and is the one they must overtake in order to stay afloat. Other competitors are well ahead with Toshiba at 10 percent, Dell at 14 percent, Acer at 16 percent and Hewlett-Packard at 23 percent. There is some amusing irony to this story. Even if Samsung does cease their laptop operations, they’ll still be in the business, supplying Sony with many of the components in their laptops including the LCD panels. |
