It’s an Apple product, folks. If you’re a hater of the most close-minded and close-sourced manufacturer in the industry, read something else on LaptopMemo. If you’ve realized that Apple has been leading the market in design and innovation for mobile products (read: iPad and iPhone), then continue reading, because you’re smart enough to see things as they truly are. Moving on.
The Macbook Air 2 is full of surprises. One, that it’s an Apple netbook. Two, that it uses the old Core 2 Duo (but still retains amazing speed). Three, that is uses flash memory, to make it like an iPad with a keyboard. And lastly, how it may represent the future of computing, in the same way that the iPad makes a niche for itself.
Say what you want about the new Air, but if you’ve ever used it, would you ever know what it’s like? How can any gadget blogger force a certain “view” on its capabilities, when even some of them haven’t even used it themselves? How can you say a Mac is better than a PC, when you’ve never used a PC (or vice versa). And if you’ve owned and used both platforms, do they not perform the same tasks (i.e being a personal computer)?
I’ve been very cold to the Air (no pun intended), but then I actually used it yesterday, and I was slightly more impressed by it. While it may not come in handy for gaming, heavy Photoshoping, and other tasks in those areas, the Air exactly performs like what it was designed to be used for: like Air. That is, free, in the sense that it can go with you anywhere. Light, so that it fits into a manila envelope (if strangely needed). Eventually, the future as we know it will not aggressively dominated by Core i7 rigs running at a blistering 3.06 GHz, but light and equally-powerful, cool machines that might even play games. That category will become the everyday PC. Notice that I mentioned “PC”, instead of Mac, as a way of suggesting that all PCs will become lighter and more energy efficient (which is what they should become).
You can disagree with me, you can say I’m an Apple fanboy (and in my defense, I am most definitely not), or you can say I’m weak, and succumbed to the Macbook Air 2 because I’m a 14-year-old and thought it was going on my Christmas list (that would make you a troll in my book). The Air is something cool and new to everyone. Nothing more, nothing less. Many do not like and accept the new, but you know what? You’ll be using a computer like it in the next 10, if not 5 years. And perhaps, and I say perhaps, without your precious CD drive.
The Alienware M11x is one heck of a beast. It grunts, runs, and speaks Alien(ware). After getting it from our local friendly FedexMan a day before my trip to New York for pre-SSAT math preparation with Dad, and some sightseeing, I was able to pull off as many tests needed to say one thing: it’s awesome. But what makes the M11x awesome? Read on after the jump!
The little white Macbook that could is never leaving the Apple Store, that’s for sure. Starting at the wonderful price of $999, the unibody plastic Macbook comes with a newer and faster 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 250GB HDD, Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics card and a newer longer-lasting 10-hour battery. It will be available worldwide; you’ll just have to wait for Apple to get all of its Apple Stores in order.

A Mac Mini with HDMI. Not a bad thought altogether actually. AppleInsider is claiming that there is currently internal testing of a Mac mini with HDMI due for a release later this year. One of the prototypes is said to have NVIDIA’s MCP89 chipset, meaning that it would have to use a Core 2 Duo processor, instead of the newer Core i3, Core i5, and Core i5 Intel CPUs. The release date is rumored for a launch ”this year”. You know what that means: wait.

Intel is knee-deep in trouble now. According to the FTC, Intel was “engaging in a deliberate campaign to hamstring competitive threats to its monopoly.” After paying AMD 1.25 billion to settle several disputes, and then getting fined by the EU for 1.45 billion, Intel now has the Federal Trade Comission hot on its heels. The allegations are the same the EU fined Intel for, which are:
The E.U.’s charges included paying computer makers to use Intel chips instead of AMD ones, and even threatening some companies if they went ahead and used AMD CPUs. The FTC notes that the public has been denied access to “potentially superior” chips as a result of the same bad practices. And it highlights what seems to be a particularly nasty one: Intel apparently designed compiler code so that it”deliberately stunted” the performance of the code when run on non-Intel CPUs, and then told the public the code simply worked better on Intel-made chips.
Ouch. The first hearing is on September 8, 2010. From the looks of it, Intel might not come out of this in a good condition.

Lenovo is now looking serious with their new Windows 7 machines, and now a new laptop with a Core i7 processor. The Y550P include a 15-inch screen, up to 8GB of RAM, 500GB hard drive, Nvidia GeForce GT 240M (1GB) graphics, and integrated subwoofer. Retail price is around $1400 to start with.
IdeaCentre B500 is a really weird looking PC. Housing a Core 2 Quad CPU, 1TB of HDD space, up to 8GB DDR3 RAM and a 23-inch LCD, this thing can probably do alot of multitasking.
Then there’s the Lenovo U150 ultraportable,which has been available in japan for quite a long time. A ULV Core 2 Duo CPU and up to 8GB memory and a 320GB hard drive, all with a tiny 11.6-inch screen. Starts at $585.

Here is my First Review: The Dell Studio XPS 13
The Dell Studio XPS 13 has gotten lots of media coverage about the styling and looks of this notebook. It is the smaller version of the Dell Studio XPS 16 a “desktop replacement” of this “thin & light” version. The “Obsidian Leather” is a new thing for Dell and the computer world. It is used on the top of the machine, normally where you would hold it.
The new 9400m G (9400m for Macs) is a new GPU (Graphical Processor Unit) capable of playing the latest games on medium or low settings. What is amazing about this card is that it’s an non-dedicated GPU (A GPU that does not take away from your computer’s RAM). In the mean time, this model has an additional GPU called the Nvidia 9500m GE style (A GPU that does not take away memory from your RAM). Which is a cross between the 9200m gs (a slower GPU) and the 9400m. Thus, creating the 9500m GE with 256mb of dedicated graphics memory and better gaming and 2D application performance.
The “P Series” Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 is a processor clocked at 2.4ghz with a 1066mhzz FSB (Front Bus Speed), above the average 2.0ghz processor speed. Lots of computer users are familiar with the “T” series. What’s new here is that the P8600 and other counterparts are smaller than most older processors ( result of the 65nm process therefore making it smaller), making it more energy efficient, and more powerful, which translates how the “P” can stand for performance.
