LENOVO THINKPAD W700DS – A MULTITASKING MONSTER

Lenovo has made a big leap in technology with its ThinkPad W700ds by introducing dual screen display in a notebook. The original 17-inch screen is supposedly the brightest display available today and now you can just pull the second 10.2-inch LED display from the side of the original screen for an extra peek. You can even tilt the second display forward or backwards on a hinge and drag and drop files from one display to another. How cool is this! Sure to make graphic artists, application developers and some gaming fiends to drool. They will just have to wait for this tech wonder which will be officially announced at the CES in early January.

With Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds you have an option between Intel Core 2 Quad processor or a 3 GHz Core 2 Extreme that has four independent processing cores, and includes 8GB RAM, up to 960GB of storage shared by an SSD and a hard drive, NVIDA Quadra FX 3700M GPU, optional Blu-ray support, 802.11a/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an ExpressCard/54 slot, gigabit Ethernet, a 7-in-1 media card reader, and an assortment of USB 2.0 ports. This desktop replacement notebook has a generous keyboard with 18.7mm keys and illuminated by a pair of LED lights or you can use the pointing stick over a touchpad, both are at your disposal. With the dual screen and the big AC adapter this monster weighs about 13lbs which discards any idea of mobility. This mighty monster also has a monstrous price tag of $5000, but there is no doubt that Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds has taken multitasking to a whole new level in a notebook.

FUJITSU LIFE BOOK T2010 REVIEW – ROCK HARD TABLET

The Fujitsu Life-Book T2010 is a rock-solid tablet laptop. This restructured variant has an added AT&T Broadband Connect HSPA incorporated though. Apart from that the design and chassis are the identical. The huge question though, does the in built WWAN make a distinction, in particular for those road warriors or even trade professionals who are for all time on the go? Lets seize a look and unearth it.

Design
The T2010 has a straightforward intend that is lustrous and tempting. Right off the box, you acquire that business sense. It would be just the thing for school students as well, bearing in mind that it is so small and just weighs in around 3.5 pounds. The graphite shade hides dirt really well and keeps the tablet notebook showing professional, but be cautious that the lid can be spoiled easily. The hinge is rock-hard and feels powerful. The screen doesnt quiver much, even when tapped. The truth that the display turns in both directions is a pleasant characteristic as well. The complete design is concrete and the battery being situated in the front isnt a hassle at all.

Performance
The T2010 showed about as I anticipated. It was a diminutively slower on the benchmarks than the 1st model I reviewed, but this variant only possess a Core 2 Duo ULV 1.06GHz processor and a 40GB hard disk drive. The unusual review unit contained the ULV 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo processor and even a 100GB hard drive. It still recited tasks with no hassles like read-through email and surfing the internet. Keep in mind this tablet notebook is for the trade minded, and definitely not for gamers. Its frivolous and handy for a reason.

The energetic digitizer is vast and like I specified before the 12.1" WXGA display is unblemished. Dont get me erroneous the keyboard has a pleasant design; its just a slightly soft and squashy for my liking. When you are typing you can in reality see the keys bend. The T2010 gets superior battery life. With the standard 6-cell battery power pack, in balanced mode I was sprinting almost 5 hours of usage.

The T2010 is one of the 1st laptops in North America to present a built-in wireless modem licensed to right of entry to AT&Ts 3rd-generation (3G) High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) Broadband-Connect wireless set of connections. The aptitude to have this high pace access permits for quicker download speeds and sooner upload speeds, which augments users capability to propel large files, such as emails with attachments, videos, photos or trade documents.

Conclusion
The T2010 is a rock-solid Tablet notebook, with an enormous bi-directional pivot and gorgeous flaunt. I really like Fujitsus displays; the colors are forever intense and glowing. The cover can be scratched effortlessly, so be cautious with that, but it does conceal dirt extremely well. It is trouble-free to take notes on, bestow presentations with and handy enough to carry it anywhere.
Pros

+ Gorgeous display with dual-directional hinge
+ Unyielding design and framework
+ Frivolous
+ Grand battery sprint capacity
+ WWAN

Cons
- One speaker is all you get
- Keyboard has a bundle of flex and feels spongy
- WWAN can be inconsistent in some network areas

THE NEW DUAL CORE ATOM NAMED – ATOM 330

Atom 330 dual core performs a whooping 1.6GHz. In this innovative up gradation in the processor sector the unit supports its two cores with four threads. Intel projects to get underway its 1st dual-core Atom based Central Processing Units in Quarter 3. We scooped out some more fine points and a lot of of them were quite straightforward to guess upon. The new-fangled dual core Atom will end up tagged as the Atom 330, and just as the likes of the single-core Atom 230, the dual-core Central Processing Unit will spruce up at 1.6GHZ. It has an overall 1MB cache of memory, which is comparatively twice as much as the single core Atom 230 processor. We would recommend that Intel in point of fact has 2x512KB L2 cache, as the particular cache is not communal between the cores.

The FSB remains the same at 533MHz and this is also because of the limitations incurred by the chipset, but, of course, on some boards you will be proficient to over clock, at least the FSB rates. The Central Processing Unit and its 2 cores shore up 4 threads and the splendid TDP snaps at 8W, which is absolutely an immense consequence for a dual core Central Processing Unit. This is comparatively a far healthier TDP than the largest part of Intel mobile CPUs that’s making its rounds around.

THE WORLD OF DISC TECHNOLOGY – II

The main differences between Blu-ray Disc & HD-DVD had to do with their entire capacity (Blu-ray be able to do 25GB in a single layer and 50GB in a twofold layer while HD-DVD possibly will only do 15GB per layer) and their effortlessness of producing (HD-DVDs could be produced with negligible transforms at customary DVD factories while Blu-ray requisite a significantly larger refurbish). Lets be apparent for a second here: for data archival reasons Blu-ray does certainly just kick HD-DVD around, all over town. More capability is just unadorned king there. For doing high definition movies, though, the dissimilarity in aptitude isnt really a chief one. High definition movies, programmed appropriately, dont need much more breathing space than is presented on a garden multiplicity twofold layer DVD.

The HD-DVD and Blu-ray encounter wasnt determined by the public, it was determined mostly by back room diplomatist, though in equality, while HD-DVD was a better movie format for customers (not for its quality, but for its characteristics, lack of region coding, and uniformity), Blu-ray is better for computer practice. If were moving into the opportunity, the elevated capacity of Blu-ray does make it further ideal. The assorted formats actually cant work any other way.
