Designed as a desktop replacement, Toshiba Satellite A355-S6924 Notebook really stand out from the crowd. The machine is powerful horse 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor and 4 GB of RAM (maximum). With the 64-bit Windows Vista operating system, 4 GB of RAM is recognized and has worked very well. The 64-bit pushes the limit of 3 GB of RAM maximum hosted by the 32-bit OS on a new frontier. Courage to confront the great experience provided by 64 bits, because the materials are now designed for this system. The 64-bit, with huge RAM runs fast enough, far more than the legacy 32-bit.
The body corresponds to a solid material. The framework defines the brightness of this machine with a luxury price. However, the bright feature is a drawback, collects fingerprints. The keyboard is always beautiful bright. The palm rest on the side of the touchpad is large and comfortable. The turn of the tip of it, adds a sense of comfort and does not hurt the wrist while typing. There is also a banda TOSHIBA white light on the front-left edge with a series of indicators illuminated in white on the leading edge of the facilities, which are magnificent.

The advent of the new generations of processor Intel ulteriorly inflames the portable arena of the PC and the desktop to low cost for the house. Which CPU will gain? Those which they consume (and they cost less)The processori Atom, know by now it also not assigned to the intense activities, are the motor of the overwhelming majority of the netbook. They are also, and this is even less famous, than a new category of PC for the house that embraces nettop (desktop like the Acer Aspire Revo from 300 dollars or the primogenito one of the series Asus Eee Box) and home serveur (like the HP MediaSmart LX195, to list 400 dollars) to low cost.
Atom is therefore the Cpu Queen of portable minium PC low cost and is throwing the bases in order to become it in a segment where before the Celeron (Intel) and Sempron (Amd were shared the cake chip). Which are the points of force of Atom? In extreme synthesis the fact that consumption little energy and that it less costs (29 dollars against the 34 of the Celeron and the 110 of 2 the Cores Pair for desktop) of the other processor. That it has inferior performances is risaputo but it is also true that for the nettop are already available a model dual Core of completely compatible Atom 330 with new chipset the graphical Ion di Nvidia.
Remaining in topic of computers to low cost, portable or from writing desk that is, Intel Atom will be for a beautiful piece first chosen than the less large ones ribaltoni legacies to the income in field of “alternative” producers which Qualcomm, Texas Instruments or to the boom of the processori Via. Various instead the speech for notebook “low cost” the ultracapacities them, far relatives of notebook the extra luxury like the MacBook Air di Apple or the line Adam di Dell, to which Intel he will soon assign a new generation of chip “ultra low voltage” (called Culv) in directed competition with the New Athlon of Amd. This new generation of notebook consumer (of which the Pavilion dv2 of HP he is puts into effect it them excellence example) will take advantage of Cpu based on architecture Core – and therefore very more performance than those Atom – and being to how much one of Intel, Paul Otellini supports the number, will become a market segment a lot important in times breviums.
How to untie itself in the choice of the PC and the ideal Cpu, from customer, when fioccheranno the announcements new notebook “ultraportable” to lowest power consumption and those of the new ones netbook equipped with chip Atom to double brain? The new Cpu Culv, say from Intel, will evidence the gap more clearly work them between the portable classics and minicomputers, with first posizionarsi on the market with prices beginning from the 600 dollars and the second ones to remain under the threshold of the 500 dollars. We will see. DONOTCHANGE

It has been made request but the Asus 1008HA already is official. We saw it weeks ago but it is now when has known the set final specifications of this Asus 1008HA, called to compete with a few portable ultrathin ones. If so, the thickness is of only 1 inch.
The Asus 1008HA arrives with equipment from ultraportable. Thus, the processor is a Atom N280 to 1,6 Ghz, takes of series 1 GB of ram and traditional hard disk of 160 GB. The screen is of 10 inches, with resolution of 1024×600, comes with multitactile quite great keyboard and touchpad.
The weight of this Asus 1008HA is of 1 kg and its thickness, little more than 2,5 cm, reason why moves away of the heavy and heavy appearance of the ultraportable models with screen of 10 inches and good battery. In fact, the battery of six cells is one of its strongpoints, offering on the paper up to 6 hours of autonomy. Or we will see if with WiFi, webcam or the card reader integrated to total yield the battery arrives at those numbers. Bluetooth and to exit VGA does not lack either. DONOTCHANGE
As far as the price, this Asus 1008HA will be available in Europe in several colors with a price of about 750 dollars.

In order to complement to the X600 and the X340 MSI it has shown a new model within his X-Slim range, in which we found very thin and slight models, although are not placed within the family of ultraportable the cheap ones that as much has proliferated.
It is the MSI X-Slim X.400, whose size of screen remains to way way between the one of both models, with 14 inches, but that it conserves the external design of his brothers. So far they have not announced as they will be its official specifications, but seeing as they are those of the rest of models we can do an idea to us.
The model of 13 inches comes with a processor Intel ULVSU3500, a hard disk of 320 GB and up to 4 GB of ram. It is to hope that the MSI X-slim X.400 conserves or improves these specifications, although will be necessary to be kind to when the official presentation takes place to know it. DONOTCHANGE
