Intel Readies Atom For Tablets Via The Z670 Oaktrail Processor

by on 11. Apr, 2011 5:39PM in Did You Know?, FTW, Hardware, Intel

Intel is ready for a new chip war, this time in the tablet space, going up against well-placed competitors like Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Samsung, Nvidia and AMD. To kick things off, the Z670 Atom Oaktrail processor is clocked at 1.5GHz, supports 1080p video with aid of Intel’s GMA 600 integrated graphics, low power consumption while allowing for thinner bodies and lighter designs. Best of all, Intel mentions that over the course of 2011, 35 new tablets from Fujitsu, Lenovo, Razer (!) and Viliv will debut. Sounds good.

Seagate Momentus Thin HDD is world’s slimmest

The Seagate Momentus Thin. The world’s slimmest hard drive is — wait for it — 7mm. That’s right, 7 millimeters, and it will ship in pretty big sizes too. 160 GB and 250 GB versions will be shipping out to OEMs for use in netbooks next month, and will appear at the CES in the same month. Pricing is expected to be much cheaper than 1.8″ hard drives, and because of that you might see this 5400RPM, 8MB cache, SATA 3Gbps hard drive in the netbook sitting on your desk. Check out the press shots below. [Hot Hardware]

LaptopMemo Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Netbooks

by on 25. Nov, 2009 7:56PM in Exclusive, Featured, Guides

As much of us hate the word netbook — low-powered, slow, tiny screens, and cramped keyboards, they’re so popular in stores (and budget buyers) it could be the next revolution. Which is why  they’re showing up in Part 3 of the “Gift Guide 2009″. There will be Acer and Asus netbooks added, but not now.  Drumroll please! UPDATE: ASUS netbook added!

UPDATE: Mac OS X 10.6.2 update out now, Atom support is unknown

500x_by_default_2009-11-09_at_5.12.34_pm

Update you Snow Leopard system to 10.6.2! Unless you have a netbook. The new update fixes the guest user account deletion error, so that problem is probably thrown into the “iDon’t Care” bin. Only other things that have changed are about 40 bug fixes, and the size of the update, which is supposed to be 500mb. As for the Atom support, no one knows about that yet. If you want to take the risk, update, and if you “survive”, comment here about that. The changelog is after the jump. Updated: Several users at BGR are reporting that the update is under 200mb. Confusing. Update 2: Atom support is DEAD on 10.6.2

According to VIA, the new VIA Nano 3000 processors consume 20% less power than previous models. The 6 new processors range in speeds from 1GHz to 2GHz, which all have a 800MHz FSB, 64-bit, as well as Windows 7 and Linux support. They also claim there will be 1080p multimedia playback, and that these processors will be in thin-and-light laptops as well as all-in-one desktops. Samples are shipping to OEMs now with full production slated for Q1 2010. Really what they’re trying to say here is that they want to kill the Intel Atom
