Microsoft has denied Sony's claim that the current release of Vista supports neither Intel's Turbo Memory technology nor hybrid hard drives.
Apple announced on Tuesday that it has updated its high-end MacBook Pro laptops with faster processors, better graphics and more memory space.
Intel will roll out Vista internally only once the first service pack of the operating system has been released, and Dell is likely to do the same.
Intel has confirmed that it has pulled the plug on all plans to add 3G to its Centrino notebook platform. From now on, says the chipmaker, it's WiMAX all the way.
The chipmaker's vPro PC management technology is set to make its debut in notebooks over the next few months.
Intel's announcements at its 2007 Developer Forum in San Francisco centred around the availability of its Penryn processors later this year and future plans for its Nehalem microarchitecture, but CEO Paul Otellini also used the opening keynote to show off some cool prototypes and other fancy equipment.
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.
Intel has launched its Santa Rosa chipset on Wednesday, and CNET.com.au was at the Australian National Maritime Museum for the event.
This is a handsome and very usable Tablet PC, thanks to its excellent screen and keyboard. Battery life and performance are both a little disappointing, though, and the price becomes steep as you add in the options.
The Fujitsu LifeBook S6410 boasts a brilliant screen, good performance, and useful features -- but we've seen better from the company.
Like its predecessor, the Qosmio G30, Toshiba's flagship multimedia desktop replacement offers a complete suite of entertainment features. The G40 is slightly slimmer and has a couple of tricks up its sleeve.
As possibly the only 14.1-inch machine to hold the powerful Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS graphics card, the JoyBook S41 offers fantastic performance for a portable unit. If only it had dedicated multimedia buttons and better internal speakers.
The ASUS W7S offers powerful performance in a small portable package, and considering that it has discrete graphics, we were surprised it had excellent battery life.
