HP unveils TouchSmart IQ500 all-in-one PC
There aren’t a lot of all-in-one desktop PCs around, with Apple having most of the market with the iMac, and Gateway’s “One” PC. Now HP is entering the market with its TouchSmart IQ500 integrated PC…
HP and Microsoft make Live Search deal
Even when Microsoft is prepared to offer real cash money back to you for using its search engine, it seems that some people are having trouble making the right decisions. Not to worry though – Microsoft has a fool proof plan to ensure that every new PC user chooses Windows Live Search. The Redmond Giant has signed a deal with Hewlett-Packard to embed a Live Search toolbar on all new consumer PCs in North America from next year.
HP employee receives MacBook Air for birthday, cuts birthday cake with it
The MacBook Air has many uses, however using it to cut a birthday cake? Never thought of that one!
A CTO over at HP received a nasty birthday present in the form of an Air, so what does he do? Tests just how razor-sharp the laptop is, on his chocolate cake. “It’s so damn sharp, it did a fine job”, the birthday boy Rahul Sood claimed. There you have it – a glowing recommendation for the MacBook Air, from an HP employee…
Five of the best ASUS Eee PC rivals, plus all the news on rumoured Eee models…
Last year, the Eee PC from ASUS launched, cementing sub-10″ ‘budget’ notebooks in the history pages forever, as other major manufacturers scrambled to keep up with their phenomenal success. Even the gadget-models at I4U News snuggled it into their boobage, as you can see!
ASUS is keeping ahead of the game, with several models already released, and more out shortly. There’s the original 7″ 4G Eee, which had a 4GB flash drive and cost £219, the French model with integrated HSDPA, a touch-screen model with boosted internal storage, and the 8.9″ Eee 900 which also has an increased memory and storage, and importantly the option of Windows XP instead of the Linux OS. Not forgetting that strange report from a few weeks ago about a desktop Eee…
There are still rumours flying around about more models, with June pointed at as a likely month for them to launch an Atom-powered machine, instead of containing a Celereon processor like before. This will give it a longer battery life, and improved performance. A 10″ model is also being planned, according to ASUS, which will hopefully be out later this year.
In the meantime, let’s take a look at the various Eee PC bandwagon-jumpers, below…
HP Mini-Note 2133 jumps on the Eee PC Bandwagon, aims at students
With the Asus Eee PC shredding up laptop charts (yes, apparently there are laptop charts now) and shooting to near overnight success thanks to its light weight and low price tag, other laptop manufacturers are practically falling over themselves to join in.
So it’s not really a huge surprise that HP, one of the largest PC manufacturers in the world, would want a piece of that market. This is the Mini-note – it weighs in at just 1.18kg, has an 8.9″, 1280 x 768 screen, runs on a VIA processor and offers either a 64GB solid state drive running SUSE Linux or Windows XP / Vista on a 160GB HDD. It is set to cost $500 for the Linux model or $600 for the Windows one…
MTV and HP's Pavillion dv2800t Artists Edition: looks terrible, sounds great
This notebook is completely hideous, but then it isn’t made for the likes of me. The HP Pavillion dv2800t Artists Edition is not only one hell of a mouthful but also the only MTV/HP fusion…
The 2133 UMPC from HP has (maybe) been confirmed for April shipping
The stories about HP’s 2133 UMPC have just heated up, with some more concrete information coming our way via Engadget.
They’re claiming that the 9.8″ ultra-portable PC will drop in April for $630, or about £315, if the conversion rate is obeyed. It’ll run…
Shiny Video Preview: HP Mediascape game
Susi’s out on the slopes somewhere in Western Europe, apparently “checking out” some new HP products and services. Yeh, right, as if we believe that when she’s pictured in this vid decked out in skiing attire!
Still, she manages to spill the beans on HP’s new Mediascape…
CES 2008: Huge thanks to the following companies…
There are a couple of companies out there in this plugged-in world which Tech Digest and Shiny Shiny would just like to raise their foot-long margaritas to, who’ve helped with kitting us out to the max, ensuring our laptops are as light as the free beer served at CES parties, and we won’t turn an embarrassing shade of red when a Gizmodo buy walks past and spies us using a digital camera held together by duct tape. It was an emergency internal operation gone wrong after a seaside accident, I swear!
A huge thanks goes out to these…
