We may see the laptop market as completely oversaturated, but chipmaker AMD sees only opportunities and undeserved markets. Hence the new Athlon Neo, which AMD calls a "platform for ultrathin notebooks".
AMD has released a series of chips which it claims has the stability and performance required for machines aimed at business users.
Intel has set a high level of expectation for its next-generation Nehalem processor, if Tuesday's demonstration at the Intel Developer Forum was anything to go by.
Microsoft and Apple are pushing ahead with 64-bit computers, despite device drivers and application for the high-powered systems being thin on the ground.
AMD's long running battle with rival Intel took a new twist yesterday with the manufacturer announcing its latest round of CPU price cuts.
It seems that thinning down your application for greater performance has finally caught on, and bloat is being stripped away. This year's surprise contender: Norton.
According to HP, the sexiest thing in IT right now is thin clients. Our photo gallery gives you an inside look into HP's latest thin client technology and what happens when it breaks.
Dell has introduced its new Vostro range, aimed at small businesses that require minimal IT support. Here's the full line-up available in Australia at launch.
With a few strong years of market share gains, CTO Phil Hester says AMD will move deeper into servers, PCs and phones.
If you're planning to invest in new computers, it's worth considering whether to make the move to 64-bit technology. Does the extra scalability justify the expense?
The K50AB is a typical mid-range laptop that looks good, but the in-built GPU-switching feature doesn't save on battery at all. We'd suggest looking elsewhere for your mid-range needs.
The Acer Aspire 5536 is a little light on battery, but it's a good all-rounder for anyone seeking an affordable laptop with a big screen and keyboard.
The Dell Inspiron 15 is likely the best bang for buck you'll get for AU$1000, from its battery life to its upgrade options. We do miss the numpad, but the rest is perfect for the budget-conscious user.
We like the Toshiba Satellite L500D, it's amazing value for its price. However, we think it's worth paying the extra AU$200 for the version with the less power hungry GPU.
For a 12-inch laptop we'd expect more performance and features than we're getting, but there are obviously compromises to be made in making ultrathin affordable.
