AMD will launch its dual-core Athlon processor Neo in the updated HP Pavilion dv2 ultra portable laptop. The notebook offers a 12-inch screen and runs on the Windows Vista operating system quite smoothly. The main attraction of the laptop is the new AMD dual-core processor's low power Athlon Neo is expected to be a competitor of Intel ULV (ultra low voltage) chips. ULV Intel chips were originally intended for expensive laptop models, but recently, ULV low-cost chips for use in ultra-thin notebooks.


Well, the chips will be followed Neo AMD Athlon dual-core processors hit the market to Congo in the third quarter. The updated HP Pavilion dv2 also features 320 GB HDD and 4 GB of memory. The laptop is only available for $ 700. So you can understand that the HP Pavilion dv2 appears to be much more attractive in its updated form. However, I do not know how much battery life will be available in the laptop, which is powered by dual core 1.6 GHz CPU MV-40 Neo, but one thing is sure Neo Athlon dual core processors will consume more energy the single-core processors.

Asus is an Asian company while Computex is one of the major technology events of the year in Asia. The main companies in the world are attending the fair, but Asus is a more important-you have in your home. The company made a press conference and officials sounded pleased with the response I got from visitors.

In a press release:

Recognized ASUS NETBOOK Inventing by the BBC, ASUS President promised "to innovate"

ASUS was attributed the creation of the first notebook in a special feature on the BBC Computex 2009, was filed on 03 June 2009. "He invented the ASUS NETBOOK" reportedly "the only truly revolutionary gadget created by a home-grown company." When asked why ASUS remains unfazed by the growing number of imitations on the market, "ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Chairman Jonney Shih said:" The soul is ASUS 'innovative' ... which are widely used for [ competition]. just need to innovate. " Mr. Shih said the Eee PC ™ Seashell as a typical result of ASUS 'culture of innovation, the description of ASUS latest ultra mobile Internet device that has the best balance of beauty, long battery life and performance .

Well, it is time that the company gives more importance to other products not only netbooks. In fact, in the last year, Asus has become almost synonymous with netbooks. There is nothing wrong with that, but I just think they should try to get out of this issue.

HP is also demonstrating with this update dv2 Pavilion Neo chip display at Computex 2009. HP dv2 was released with a single core processor Neo in April 2009.

Dual-Core processor net is based on 65 nm technology will be part of AMD's next platform Congo. Offers 1.6GHz clock speed and utilizing the power of 18 Watts. The better integration platform embedded graphics Radeon 3200 instead of the previous Radeon 1200 with single core used Neo.


Neo vs Dual Core Intel single-core processor CULVER:


CULVER single-core processor based on 45nm technology. It is more energy efficient 65 nm processors and has better performance per watt of Neo on the basis of the 65 nm CPU.

However, the dual-core processor is more Neo Intel CULVER multitasking because of their second World Cup. The Radeon 3200 integrated graphics is also capable of decoding faster HD felt better 3D multimedia content and also better performance compared to integrated graphics is used with a single nucleus and also by Neo Intel platform equivalent processor along CULVER, according to AMD.

So far, MSI-340 and Slim x Lenovo Ideapad U350 and M1305 GigaByte and MSI Wind U200 have been announced for the use of Intel processors next CULVER.

The ultra-slim laptops powered by dual core Neo has the price range between $ 750 to $ 1000.

The neo-based laptops with the updated CPU Neo will be available in September onwards.

Low-cost ultra thin notebook is a new category in the computer industry that stands between netbooks and ultra-portable notebook expensive. These notebooks provide an adequate return with all functions, but are much cheaper than their counterparts as the ultra-portable MacBook Air and other ultra portable laptops that their prices start from $ 1500 - $ 1700 and up.

Asus is one company has compared to Eee PC based on the new CPU to smartbooks dragon.

This dragon-based Eee PC at Computex show is running on Google Android and the two videos you can see from here, after the break.

The Eee smartbook are similar to Eee 1008HA marinas, the seams that Asus has used the same chassis and frame, screen and keyboard of the Eee smartbook for this snail.

The dragon is a battery efficient processor 1.3GHz new CPU based on 45nm technology and Qualcomm is about 30 percent faster than its predecessor. Sports CPU support hardware acceleration of HD 720p movies. Can support displays as big as a dragon "WXGA (usually 1366x768), and the TV tuner via FLO TV formats in the U.S. or DVB-H in Europe."

The 10 "Eee PC Smartbook is a cool PC that has no vent. It can be connected" always "to the Internet via modem is 3G support for UMTS and CDMA networks at all frequencies used worldwide, or Wi-Fi. It also sports Bluetooth and GPS built.

This Eee PC and other features, includes a webcam and runs on Android. I would prefer if Asus had run a Linux distribution like Ubuntu smartbook here to get a better idea of the 3D representations of this new processor.

Starter Edition Windows 7 is going to make more trouble and discuss the arguments in the middle of the user community after completing many bitter discussions about adding a 3-Limiting W7 Starter Edition App by removing it.

Although the feature of 3-limit application seemed very bad but it was not very bad at all, because it does not include services, anti-malware applications or Windows applications or even multiple instances of the same application. " So if we expect this feature carefult find any limitation, because the courage of netbooks do not have the ability to run over this type of application 3 -!


But bitterer and more annoying is the part of many hardware and software limitations that Microsoft is going to impose some NETBOOK users.


Let me start from the hardware that I had mentioned in my previous post too.

Microsoft (apparently with the company of Intel) is to impose restrictions on hardware that will be approximately netbooks preinstalled with Windows 7

- A maximum of up to 10.2 "screen

-Only 1 GB of RAM,

- Up to 250GB HDD or hard drive of up to 64g SSD

- CPU should only be a single core and clocks up to 2.0GHz with up to 15 watts of thermal output


As you can see, these limitations are especially good for Intel and is not good at all of his serious rivals VIA. Netbooks are gradually opening to the new path of the hardware sector and give them more room to grow. However, Microsoft has stopped netbooks cheaper while offering a larger screen with the CPU as the best accomplished VIA nano Samsung NC20.


Laptop Magazine as mentioned a list of constraints to supply Windows 7 Starter Edition that I mentioned briefly here:

1 - Preview of the lack of work or Aero Peek

2 - unable to change wallpaper, window colors, or sound systems.

3 - can not log off when you switch between users

4 - Lack of Multi-monitor support and DVD playback

5 - Non-implementation of Windows Media Center. And no remote multimedia

6 - "The domain of support for business customers"

7 - There is no way to XP. Therefore, it will be impossible to run older programs on Windows XP in Windows 7 on netbooks.

These limitations characteristic of the session, and the change of mode in XP desktop background are the most problematic constraints coming to netbooks by W7 Starter Edition.

I prefer to adopt Appendix 3-Constraints and instead get the W7 mode feature of XP Starter know when you will pay more for Windows 7 (as you know the average price of Windows Vista will be over 7).

Qualcomm announced its new processor based netbooks dragon key yesterday. The company has a big welcome laptop and mobile phone makers (MDGs), including ASUS, Compal, Foxconn, High Tech Computer (HTC), Inventec, Wistron, and Toshiba, and this processor will be demonstrated through a number of netbooks responsible for the laptop mentioned earlier this week at Computex Show.


The processor only supports Linux distributions (can not run Windows) and your users can be connected endlessly through GPS, 3G and Wi-Fi connection.

This process is now much used by 15 companies in 30 different devices such as smartphones and netbooks.

Qualcomm is seeking a category between laptops and smartphones smartbooks you get the best aspects of smartphones as simple intuitive usability, and long battery life and combines the best aspects of laptops, such as large screen, higher performance and functionality.

"Constantly connected via 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS, smartbooks is ultra portable, customizable and easy to use all day and the last in a single battery charge. Qualcomm Dragon platform has a unique combination of capabilities that makes it exceptionally competitive smartbook category, which is redefining the movement of consumers on productivity and play, "the company said in a written statement.

I believe that Qualcomm is trying to bring a new category for NETBOOK market segment that will be cheaper than the current netbooks, carry out a quick operation with less concurrenly applications, with larger screen than those used in smart phones, but more practical and useful!

There are four-digit model numbers with Nokia in the beginning. N-Gage then intervened, with the Nseries and eSeries following shortly thereafter. Two cards are now joining the party - Nokia Cseries registered trademarks and xSeries.

Patents are quite general and cover the phones, smart phones, accessories and spare parts, which does not really tell us much about the devices that will inevitably be announced.

In general, their Nokia phones in four separate categories, as follows:

• Achieve - these are the eSeries
• Explore - the Nseries
• Live - fashionable phones for people with active lifestyles
• Connect - Easy to use, but basic, good phone, focus on ways to connect to other

Now, here is what you're thinking, two categories that do not yet have a number of its own and two new letters. Fairly simple, but here is the most difficult issue - which is what?

C, for example would be "classic" and conventional phones more or less fit the description of the category of connection. There are other words that begin with C, of course, but it is less likely.

"Team" is another of those words and what we do now that Intel and Nokia are cooking something. Moreover, they call the N97 a mini multimedia computer "and Maema tablets appear to be part of the Nseries (eg N800)." House "also comes to mind, but it is also territory Nseries.

XSeries left alive for the category. Now, X could mean XpressMusic - those who do not really fit the bill for a fashion phone, but "active lifestyles" is quite accurate.

Prisma supernova phones and most modern type. The few phones L'Amour is a good game too, as are the 8-series phones - the sirocco, the Moon and the Arts. This seems reasonable guess as to what constitutes a "living" and a telephone phone xSeries too, if you guess right it is our nature.

There is always the possibility that the two new series that really does not fit into existing categories. One of them could be here, because Nokia is running out of numbers in the Nseries as the three-digit model is reserved for the Nseries Maema tablets.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is getting a firmware update that will introduce some new, very welcome features - a higher initial kinetic movement in some menus, and improved performance of the camera and the response time.

Update: The homescreen is modified to resemble that of a Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, rather than the N97 as originally reported. We apologize for the misunderstanding - we have our wires crossed a little in this case.

The kinetics of displacement update is only partial at this stage - will be applicable in the initial list of contacts and the Web browser. The upgrade is certainly more than welcome, but we feel that going to do the UI in 5800 even more inconsistent.

Imagine this - in some lists on the Nokia 5800, which uses kinetic movement, in other - dragging, which requires a two taps to activate a theme, and icon-based menus to use a single tap. Worse yet - sweep your finger up in the bar of contacts down the list, while in another menu that still uses the old logic of drag - to move up.

Another benefit of the next firmware update would be the best response time and performance of camera. When this update will be available for the 5800 XpressMusic to be seen, but it must be the easiest thing is that soon after the launch of his younger brother - Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. According to the source, the latter will come with all the news directly from the box.

Apple today announced that the number of applications downloaded from its App Store has exceeded 1.5 billion.

Only one year after the launch of the online store application clearly the numbers suggest that this is one of the most successful projects in the history of the mobile industry.

What is even better for Apple is that the discharge rate is increasing - was less than 3 months ago, when the counter on the website of the company flipped over the one billion mark. This suggests that since then an average of more than 6 million applications were downloaded each day.

With more than 65,000 applications available to 40 million iPhone and iPod touch consumers in 77 countries, the numbers are not surprising, but a success nonetheless. We are awaiting only the quantity and quality will improve the percentage of truly useful applications will be in place too in the future.

I am sure that during the last week or so have seen the ads Evony around the world, I know that there are probably a sign now. Well after watching a million times or so I decided what the hell, I'm not playing any MMO right now, so let's take a look.

Evony is a free browser based MMORTS game in game 2 where slowly build your city and try to expand their territory. Recruit Evony here. The game starts with an empty city, with only one City Council and its work is to build a city striving to build an army and conquer other lands. Each time you do anything in the game, build a structure, the investigation of a new technology, its army in March, a timer showing how long it will take. For example, the creation of a headquarters could take 5 minutes, but each additional layer will have more time and more time. Currently in my barracks lev5 for the next update I will have 1 hour 29 minutes.

City Building
Evony restricts the construction of the building at 1 per city, so if you do not have the resources to build or improve the construction of more than 1 at a time. I'm really a big fan of this system because it no longer depends on how long you play the game, rather than how often you play. Checking up on the fly a couple of times a day you much more than someone sitting there for 2 hours live. No queue for construction, so you'll have to manually select each property and build or upgrade your account. Each its own territory is divided into two parts, the city and the city. The city is composed of all residential, commercial and military construction, such as the Town Hall, Market, barracks, academy, etc., and is protected by the castle walls. The city is outside the walls of protection and contains the resort buildings, farms, forests, and mines of iron quarrys.

Basically it works like any other RTS game you've ever played. You gather resources to build or improve buildings, research technology and build an army.

City Management and hero
In addition to the resources and only the construction and upgrading things, there is also the management of the city. It does not get too complicated and you can learn everything you need to know in about 5-10 minutes. City Management refers to its tax rate, making the population remains loyal and allocation of a mayor of their city.

Once you've created an Inn, you can hire a hero units that can lead their army or become a mayor. Each unit has 3 Hero statistics, political, and intelligence attack. A hero with the highest political means your resource production is higher in cities so that a larger attack means that his army have a higher attack rating. Intelligence shortens the time needed for the investigation of a new technology. This can be seen that some are better suited hero as mayor than as a whole.

Once you have a hero and the army, which will begin to eat resources. A hero must be paid a monthly fee and an army will have to eat what they'll start losing their food resources. If you're out of the army is to attack the food lost twice as fast, so we always make sure to back its troops as quickly as possible once they have completed their mission.

As your city grows, gain prestige points which is basically a rating of their cities and how they compare with other players. You also have a ranking and the title, the higher the rank and title of the most control.

Combat
Once you have created an army that is ready to attack, however it is important to explore the area first to determine the strength of your opponent. Once you've explored the area, you'll find exactly how many and what kind of troops are there. If you feel unsure, you can attack.

In the next image, I am attacking an open field to receive a bonus of 7% of my production of stone during the time that I have that area.

As much fun as attacking people and the NPC is, the combat system is completely f * cked up scense zero and makes the point that almost ruins the whole game. Let me explain.

Yesterday they attacked the same place twice, because I was farming for remuneration medals. Medals are used to reward their hero or promotion missions, which I will go into later. Here is the defending force both armys attacks.

Army
Warriors 142 (very weak unit)
32 archers
48 Pikemen

I had my first attack:

Attack 1
115 archers

I won the fight, but lost 65 archers.

Attack 2
25 Swordmen
20 Pikemen
115 Archers

The results? I lost not only 65 archers, but all my swordmen and pikemen. WTF? That makes no sense, how can a small army of archers only do better? After a couple of melee attacks, I realized that the units are 100% useless, it only increased their victims and waste so that its resources have been building since only archer armies.

I have also read in forums that there are important issues Evony balance when attacking the castle walls. As far as I'm concerned the combat system is sh * t needs to be completely redone.

Special Items and medals
Evony use microtransaction business model for making money, so there are many items that can be bought with real money, to help you throughout the game. Topics range from things that subtract time to build, ranging from 15 minutes to 8 hours and 30% reduction in construction times. Other items in production or increase the combat effectiveness for a certain amount of time. There are medals to be gained with the conquest of land, these medals can be used both to boost the statistics of your hero or you promote through promotion missions.

Missions
There are missions in Evony But progress is only missions. For example, the City Council reaches level 5 and you get 10000 prestige points. I like to think of them as accomplishments rather than tasks.

Conclusion
After a few days of playing I can say that I am enjoying this game much more than I thought it was a. Working in front of a computer all day, it gives me something nice to do and really does not take much time to play. I have a dual monitor setup, so we have Evony on a screen and you can see when the time spent, so you can choose what I do. This is not a time sink for the type of game, it's like kind of control of their email or Facebook a couple of times a day, 2-3 minutes and that is good to go. But they have to fix the combat system is retarded and can destroy the game if not a fixed amount of time resonated.

Micron Technologies has announced the first flash memory cards to use its 34-nanometer process technology. Its subsidiary, Lexar, will incorporate the new 32Gb NAND chips into its 32GB Platinum II SDHC memory card. A 16Gb microSDHC card (commonly used in mobile devices), will also make use of the 34nm technology NAND chips. Lexar has said it will incorporate the technology into an increasing proportion of its flash memory card range.

Press Release:

Micron Introduces New 34-Nanometer High-Density NAND Products, Increasing Performance And Reducing Die Size

Lexar Media Announces New Flash Memory Cards Using Micron’s New High-Capacity 34nm NAND

BOISE, Idaho and Fremont, CA., June 30, 2009 – Micron Technology, Inc. today announced mass production of new NAND flash memory products using its award-winning 34-nanometer (nm) process technology. As consumers demand increased capacity to store more music, videos, photos, and applications in ever smaller portable electronic devices, manufacturers need a storage solution that delivers on capacity, performance, and size. Micron’s new 16- and 32-gigabit (Gb) NAND chips pair large capacity with performance, providing a compelling solution for today’s demanding portable storage requirements that are tailored to end-customer product dimensions.

The newly architected 32Gb multi-level cell (MLC) NAND chip is 17 percent smaller than Micron’s first-generation 32Gb chip. The 16Gb MLC NAND chip, at just 84mm², provides high-capacity in an ultra tiny package. Micron is also now sampling 8- and 16Gb single-level cell (SLC) NAND chips using the 34nm process.

Additionally, Lexar Media, Inc. – a subsidiary of Micron and a leading provider of consumer memory products for digital devices – is taking advantage of Micron’s new 34nm NAND products by delivering a wide range of flash memory cards and USB flash drives utilizing this technology.

“Our industry-leading NAND products are opening new possibilities for some of the world’s most popular consumer electronic devices,” said Brian Shirley, vice president of Micron’s memory group. “With our new 16- and 32Gb NAND chips in mass production, we are enabling customers to design cost-effective, high-capacity storage in their small-form factor products, using less space and fewer die. In addition, the high-speed interface is ideal in the industry’s quest to continue to increase throughput performance for SSDs.”

Both products feature an ONFI 2.1 synchronous interface that delivers transfer speeds of up to 200 megabytes per second (MB/s). In comparison, traditional SLC NAND is limited to 40 MB/s. With this improved transfer speed, the interface delivers the fastest read and write throughputs offered in today’s NAND devices. And with solid state drives (SSDs) trending toward a SATA 6 Gb/second interface, the high-speed NAND interface enables manufacturers to design products that deliver twice the throughput of today’s existing SATA 3Gb/s solutions. Customers can expect this high-speed interface designed into all future high-density Micron® NAND products.

Micron 34nm NAND Enabling New High-Capacity Memory Cards from Lexar Media

Lexar Media is utilizing Micron’s high-capacity 34nm technology in its high-performance memory cards, including the new Lexar® Platinum II 32GB Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC™) memory card and the Lexar 16GB microSDHC™ mobile memory card. By the end of September, Micron’s new 34nm NAND will also be used in a wide range of Lexar microSD™ and microSDHC cards, Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) cards, and various capacities of Secure Digital, SDHC, CompactFlash®, and Memory Stick PRO Duo™ cards. Additionally, Micron 34nm NAND will be used in Lexar’s JumpDrive® USB flash drives, including JumpDrive Retrax, JumpDrive TwistTurn, JumpDrive FireFly, and JumpDrive Secure II Plus.

“By integrating the increased capacity and performance of Micron’s new 34nm NAND into Lexar’s flash memory products, we are giving our customers the ability to take full advantage of their digital cameras, phones and devices,” said Greg Rhine, vice president of sales and product marketing at Lexar Media. “With Lexar’s cost-effective, high-capacity, and high-speed memory cards and USB flash drives, consumers can capture more pictures and videos, listen to more music, and transfer data between their devices even faster than before.”

The first Lexar memory card to feature Micron’s new 32Gb NAND chip is the new 32GB Lexar Platinum II SDHC memory card. With the ability to store up to 12 hours of high-definition (HD) video or more than 20,000 5-megapixel images, the increased capacity enables photographers to capture important events and memories with photos and HD video. Beyond video and photography, the Lexar Platinum II 32GB SDHC memory card can be used as a convenient way to expand the available storage in today’s emerging, ultra-portable notebook computer applications, such as netbooks and mobile Internet devices (MIDs).

In addition to its high capacity, the new Lexar Platinum II SDHC card is speed-rated at 60x (Class 4), offering a minimum-sustained write speed of 9MB per second that enables photo enthusiasts to take advantage of their camera’s burst-mode setting to capture many images in rapid succession. In addition, a minimum-sustained read speed of 12MB per second ensures fast transfers of images from the card to a host computer.

Micron’s tiny 16Gb, 34nm NAND chip, which is approximately one-third the size of a keyboard key, is ideal for ultra-small, high-capacity microSD cards, such as the Lexar 16GB microSDHC mobile memory card. The Lexar 16GB microSDHC card allows consumers to expand the capabilities of their digital devices, such as mobile phones with photo and video capture capabilities, MP3 players, and smartphones. Consumers can store up to 48,000 2-megapixel JPEG photos, 4,000 songs, or 80 hours of standard-definition video content on the Lexar 16GB microSDHC card when used in a digital device.

I do not know how much you are familiar with Pixel Qi screen, but this new project for carrying out the screens by Mary Lou Jepsen has been showing at Computex Tiepei in a 10-inch Acer Aspire One

Pixel Qi is a "low cost, low power, super-reading, based on LCD screens ranging in everything from e-book readers for netbooks and computers.

Pixel Qi of the sample called 3Qi run in three configurations: a full-color, glossy, LCD conventional way, a very low power, sunlight readable, reflection and role-mode, and a low-power base color transflective mode. The screens are expected to initially be available in 7.5 inch and 10.5-inch screen sizes. "

At Computex show people from Laptop Magazine was in the hands of this screen them in an Aspire One and briefly evaluated whether what is described in the paper is true in real life.

The power efficient Pixel Qi is easily legible and completely indoors and outdoors (outdoors in the sample visible be ready some time this year).

Here is a run time of your first impression:

- High resolution display that uses half or a quarter of energy that an LCD basa

- A button to turn on and off the display backlight

- When the background is on screen is crisp with decent color and totally readable in sunny room with no glare

- When the light is off the screen is readable and the content is clear and lively even though it becomes dark and black and white (the loss of color).

This type of screen is somehow comparable to the screen are on Kindle. A kindle is as expensive as if only one is a NETBOOK eBook Reader. I only hope that Pixel Qi does not add much to the bottom of the price range of netbooks. (If this screen only adds a bit more money as a platform ION only raised the price of Atom-based NETBOOK for $ 50 probably will be very acceptable since launch).

HP moves forward slowly in the market of netbooks but, its move is steady and continual. I can say that HP has released least netbooks compared to Asus and Acer and MSI. Well, So far its netbooks have been bundled up with very good and bad features such as stellar keyboard and sturdy fashionable chassis as well as overly glossy screens, sluggish hard drive and lack of VGA port meanwhile costing more than their counterparts in the market.

HP has unveiled its two upcoming Mini 110 for consumer- oriented (and the Linux- based Mini 110 Mi) and Mini 1101 for corporate- oriented.

The very first feature of Mini 110 and Mini 1101 that takes attention is their starting price. Compared to their predecessors, these two upcoming netbooks offer more aggressive starting price. Starting at $279 for the Linux-based Mini 110 Mi, $330 for the XP-based Mini 110 and Mini 1101 is a big improvement about HP netbooks.

The second feature that takes the attention immediately is design and the chunky way it looks. Mini 110 is not as thin and lightweight as its predecessor. The new netbook is 0.2 pound heavier with the (weight of 2.6 lbs) and 0.3 inches thicker (with the depth of 1.3inches) than its predecessor.

Confidently, HP has made a better revamped version of Mini 1000, He has kept the good side of the Mini 1000 and has tried to turn the bad sides or weak features to the good ones.

Here you will learn about the differences between Mini 1000 and Mini 110, and comparison between their benchmark results.

One of the important contenders of Mini 1000 and of course upcoming Mini 110 is Samsung NC10 netbook. Here you will learn about their differences and the comparison between their benchmark result to get better idea about the improved performance that Mini 110 offers upon its predecessor and its major rival.

I have compiled all the benchmark results and figures from reviews done by Laptop Magazine.

HP Mini 1101 netbook:

This mode meant business users and it is very customizable. It can be available preinstalled with one of Windows XP Home, XP Pro, or Vista and a choice for freeDOS if you are interested in installing it on your netbook by yourself. This netbook offers options for a 32GB SSD or 160GB or 250GB hard disk, and EV-DO/HSPA mobile broadband modem. The HP Mini 1101 will be available from tomorrow- June 1st with starting from $329.

HP Mini 110 vs. Mini 1000:

Cnet and Laptop Magazine have reviewed Mini 110 and compared it with Mini 1000. Here I have compiled the Pros and Cons were mentioned by these two reviews here all together.

(Pros):

Price: the starting price of Mini 110 is more budget- friendly than the starting price of Mini 1000, meanwhile offering better features.

Design: although the black Mini 1000 looks is slightly thinner and ligher than Mini 110, the nice swirl imprint design on lid of Mini 110 looks very attractive and it also hides the finger tips ( unlike the glossy finish of Mini 1000). Mini 110 is more comfortable to use because “it sits a little higher in back when placed on a desk”. Mini 110 is available in pearl white and fashionable pink, as well.

Keyboard: Mini 110 inherits the stellar spacious 92% keyboard of Mini 1000. There is a row of a dedicated function keys placed at the top pf the keyboard. Also the new netbook comes with the same awkward vertical touchpad buttons.

Performance: Mini 110 comes with the typical CPU and RAM available on majority of netbooks (1.6GHz Atom CPU and 1GB of memory). But, it offered faster spinning 160GB HDD with 5400 rpm that causes faster performance compared to Mini 1000.

Features: unlike Mini 1000, an additional USB port and VGA port are available on Mini 110. So, this netbook comes with 3 USB ports, a VGA out and 5-in-1 media card reader and Lan port.

Display:If you suffered from the overly glossy 10.1-inch screen settled on Mini 1000, HP happily has removed this display and has used the traditional LED Matte antiglare 10.1-inch display but with the same 1,024x576 resolution. Promisingly, an option for high definition display with 1366 x 768 resolution will be available from July 8^th. This option will only add $30 to the basic price.

Video Play back: an additional $30 Crystal HD Enhanced Video Accelerator choice, will come soon in July and will allow users to watch 1080p video an external display.

Heat: definitely Mini 110 is much cooler than Mini 1000

Audio: The speakers are impressively laud and apparently better than the one used in Mini 1000.

- Choices or options for 32GB SSD, a mobile broadband for extra $125. The Linux-based Mini 110 Mi starts from cheaper price of $280 and can be configured with up to 1GB of RAM and 160GB HDD.

(Cons):

- Lack of HDMI port for playing HD movies on an external display

Software: the Syncables software is difficult to use. This software is supposed to help out the user to “connect different machines on your local network, allowing you to easily share documents, photos, video, and music, and even sync Outlook and Thunderbird e-mail accounts. The program even claims to work on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.”

Battery: 3-cell battery is used on Mini 110 as default and it only lasts for 2 hours and 45 minutes which is really short for a netbook. In the market the average battery is not less than 3 hours. However, Soon Mini 110 will offer a choice of 6-cell battery adding $40 to the basic price to prolong about 5 hours and half which is yet short compared to Eee PC 1008HA and 1005HA, Samsung NC10 etc.

- “This video accelerator won’t help you transcode video faster or play mainstream 3D games.”

Benchmark results:

-Boot time: Mini 110 boots up for 45 sec while Mini 1000 is more sluggish and its boot time is about 64 sec.

-PCMark05 test: Mini 110 scored 1578 while Mini 1000 scored 1370

- laptop transfer test: Mini 10 recorded a rate of 14.6 MBps ( lasting about 5 minutes) for coping a 4.97GB folder of mixed media and Mini 1000 scored a rate of 9.1 MBps that lasted for 9 minutes and 21 sec.

Mini 110 vs. Samsung NC10:

I am comparing the Samsung NC10 with the price tag of $420 (at Newegg) and feature set of 10.2-inch antiglare Led display, 1.6GHz Atom CPU, 160GB HDD with 5400 rpm, 6-cell battery, 3USB port, VGA out, 3-in-1 media card reader, 2.8 lbs of weight, 1.19-inch thickness, Bluetooth, and 93% keyboard, .

Comparisons:

Price: Samsung NC10 is some more expensive than Mini 110 even by considering adding the two features of 6-cell battery and Bluetooth to Mini 110. If we add the $40 extra for 6-cell battery to Mini 110 the price will jump only to $370. ( however I think NC10 deserves this price).

Design: Mini 110 comes with more attractive finish design than NC10. However, NC10 is a thinner netbook. It is natural that NC10 with 6 cell battery is heavier than Mini 110 coming with 3-cell battery.

Keyboard: both laptops have very spacious and comfortable keyboard that the positioning of keys are almost perfect.

TouchPad: The sizes of their touchpads are almost the same. However the length of touchpad on NC10 is 0.1-inch shorter.but the most important thing is that NC10’s touchpad is multi touch that provides a dedicated scrolling bar too and the buttons are horizontally positioned.

Features: The both netbooks feature the same amount of ports but Mini 110 offers 5-in-1 media card reader slot.

Display: both netbooks offer traditional Matte display with anti-glare. However, the option for HD display offering by Mini 110 is really nice.

Audio: The quality of speakers of NC10 are closed to the Dolby-powered speakers used in Eee PC 1000H. So, it is more preferred to the speakers used in HP Mini, although it is totally loud.

Battery: NC10’s 6-cell battery can last 6 hours and 34 sec when its battery manager is enabled. While Mini 110 with 6-cell battery will prolong about 5 hours and half which is not bad although it is shorter than NC10’s.

Performance:

Both Mini 110 and Samsung NC10 come with the same guts. So naturally they must have similar performance record and benchmark result. Both netbooks boot Win XP in 45 sec. They have similar transferring rate (Laptop magazine tested NC20 with 120GB 5400 rpm and it recorded rate of 12.4 MBps) and stay behind IdeaPad S10 with the rating of 17.4 MBps.

Conclution:

Surely, Mini 110 is a better netbook that its predecessor and with its competitive price, excellent keyboard, nice design (specially it doesn’t get tarnished at all), lovely options and enough ports and slots will be able to attract the market easily.

Samsung NC20 is a known netbook that has already been successful to take some proportion of crowded market of netbooks. It is famous for its keyboard and long battery life. But it is not available in the price range of $320- $370 that Mini 110 offers. This way it will lose some of its consumers logically.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad T400s hasn’t been released yet and its specs are still under wraps, but today Slashgear has a fantastic video of the thin-and-light notebook nearly surviving a clash with a 26,000 pound truck. The 14.1-inch notebook is no rugged or semi-rugged system and yet, in the video, which was made with the help of the Center for Severe Weather Research (cswr.org), you see a giant radar truck roll over the T400s, which suffers a cracked screen, busted keyboad, and general failure to power on. However, its hard drive and precious data survive.

Back in the lab, you see Lenovo engineers remove the 1.8-inch mechanical drive from the broken T400s then plug it into another system and watch it boot like nothing ever happened. You also see that many of the parts, including the RAM, are still intact and ready to be used again. So it’s safe to say that the T400s almost survived being run over and kept its most precious asset — its data — intact.

Even more interesting is the possibility that the notebook could completely survive being run over by a normal passenger car. At 0:31 into the video, an unidentified person holding the broken notebook says “I understand it can withstand a car’s impact, but it certainly cannot survive a heavy duty radar truck.” We’d love to see that theory tested.
