MacBook Air uses the future Intel

Apple has launched MacBookAir, which is said to be the world’s thinnest notebook. MacBook Air measures 0,16 inches at its thinnest point, with a maximum height of 0,76 inches. According to Apple, MacBook Air has a 13,3 inch LED-backlit widescreen display, a full-size and backlit keyboard, a built-in insight; video camera for video conferencing, and a spacious track pad with multi-touch gesture support so users can pinch, rotate and swipe.

The MacBook Air uses the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and Intel 965GMS chipset with integrated Gfx using a new miniaturized package technology,” Intel explained. “This new CPU and chipset allows for approximately 60 percent reduction in total footprint. The Core 2 Duo Processor TDP is 20 watts. The Macbook Air is using existing Core 2 Duo technology with a lower voltage spec in a new miniaturized packaging design. It is not a ULV processor.”

Thus the CPU and chipset are both using advanced packaging technology for a smaller footprint, while still using the current generation mobile Core 2 Duo chips. Anandtech notes that the 1.6GHz chip in the MacBook Air runs at 1.0V - 1.25V, while the 1.8GHz version runs at 1.1125V - 1.25V – both less than the standard mobile Core 2 Duo, but more voltage than the Low Voltage chips.

Lenovo Launches Snowmountain Note Book

Lenovo has unveiled the ‘Winter Edition’ of its Y410 Audio DJ Notebook Series, aptly titled the Y410 Snowmountain Notebook.
The name has much to do with what is described as the “8000 vertical state of mind", represented by the world’s five highest summits (peaks); namely, Makalu (8463 m), Lhotse (8516 m), Kanchenjunga (8586 m), K2 (8611 m), and Chomolungma (8844 m), which are on the notebook front cover.

The Lenovo Y410 Snowmountain design notebook features AUDIO DJ capability, which allows the user to play music while the laptop is turned off. The 14.1-inch widescreen notebook has the audio function panel encased outside on the top cover and the slot-in ODD at the side panel. In addition, it also has Easy Capture, a multimedia software application for photo editing and Power to go, for reading and recording data. (more…)

Apple MacBook Air Is World’s Thinnest Notebook

Apple has done the update Macworld with their notebook line and the star of the line is the new MacBook Air. This is another of those devices that needs to be seen to be appreciated. The battery issue should be a doubtful point. While we think that battery accessibility and battery life are two of the most underrated aspects of the consumer electronics business.

Apple’s clearly responding to what is an actual real trend right now, the popularity of the ultra-light laptop,” he continued. Barajin predicts that ultra light laptops will grow to 20 percent (of the laptop market) in the next three years and that the Macbook Air will play a major role in that growth.

Laptops are generally broken down into four categories that the industry keeps tabs on: All-in-ones or desktop replacements, which are usually 6-to-7 pounds; Thin-and-lights, which usually weigh in at 4-6 pounds; Ultra lights, which are 2.5-to-4 pounds; and that category everyone ignores: the ultra mobile PC or UMPC.

The 5920G primarily targets gamers and power users with no desire to break the bank.

On the outside one can genuinely see that ‘Gemstone’ idea in the shape and finish.

Though the notebook is obviously rectangular in shape, the subtle use of curves gives it a pleasant oval shaped quality, and the shiny pearlescent black finishes off the look beautifully. Importantly, this gives the 5920 a real sense of quality before you’ve even opened it up and started using it. (more…)
