Toshiba has updated its business and consumer notebook line-up introducing models with Intel's Centrino Pro platform and Core 2 Duo processors.
All the major business PC manufacturers in Australia -- except Apple -- announced products based on Intel's vPro chipset this week; vPro is designed to improve desktop management facilities for administrators.
Apple on Tuesday released the software needed to unlock the fast Wi-Fi chips inside almost every one of its new Macs.
Intel has filed a lawsuit against chip designer Transmeta, alleging that the company infringes on seven of its patents.
Intel has decided to borrow the sequential naming scheme it used for its famous Pentium brand and apply it to the new Core line of chips.
Improvements to the processor, chipset and wireless components of Intel's latest mobile platform should result in a new generation of faster notebooks with longer battery life. Business systems will also get Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) for the first time, while Turbo Memory should reduce the frequency of hard disk accesses, saving power and boosting performance.
Apple Computer has revved up its MacBook Pro notebooks with Intel Core 2 Duo processors, double the memory and a faster FireWire peripheral connection.
Apple's Core 2 Duo 17-inch MacBook Pro is especially thin and light for a desktop replacement, making it an attractive choice for multimedia users on the go.
If you've been holding off on making the leap to a MacBook because of the lack of Core 2 Duo processors, this new update adds the latest Intel CPUs and provides a great overall computing experience, albeit at a premium price.
Toshiba, who built one of the world's first notebooks, clearly has a head start in the race to put a laptop on every desk. The AU$1,210 Satellite M300 is a step in the right direction, being a modest, yet high quality desktop replacement at a reasonable price.
Intel today launched the vPro desktop platform in Australia and New Zealand, claiming the technology will reduce support costs, improve hardware security and make PCs easier to manage. However, newly found partner Apple has no plans to include vPro in its line of offerings.
