Archos 605 WiFi (160 GB)

Introducing the new WiFi enabled 160 GB Archos 605! Think thats not enough to make a great gadget there's more this thing has touch screen, high resolution 4.3" screen, and Mac Support. Starting at just $229 this gadget far exceeds the capabilities of any other gadget in its class! It is basically a video and music player with added features such as WiFi for internet surfing and support for almost every music file.


Measuring 4.75 inches wide, 3.25 inches tall, and just a little more than a half-inch thick, the 605 strikes that front-pocket sweet spot; it's big enough to do video justice, yet small and thin enough to comfortably fit in your pants pocket. With top-notch video resolution, incredible viewing angles, and integrated support for wireless movie downloads, the Archos 605 WiFi is the best of its breed.


The Archos 605 WiFi portable video player is one of the best mobile gadgets money can buy. The recessed 4.3-inch TFT LCD screen is not only bright, colorful, and glare-resistant, but it displays at a resolution of 800x480, making it one of the highest-resolution PVPs on the market.

Sony VAIO LT19U

Presenting the Sony VAIO LT 19U, this is one of those things you get greedy for ! Only all-in-one PC with Blu-ray (or any HD) player, VESA-mount compatible, removable media and mobile expansion card inputs, can accept a second internal hard drive, better deal than competing HD-capable laptops.



What is so amusing ? its 22-inch wide-screen display and its slower, 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo T7500 chip, 500 GB hard drive, wireless lan, 2GB 667 MHz Ram, 256MB Nvidia GeForce 8400 GT and a blue ray burner, all that is in the back of the monitor, thats something ! It has everything you can think of:)

Sony's new VAIO LT19U is not like as an all-in-one PC for everyday computing, but if you're shopping for a flexible, self-contained, HD-capable digital entertainment center, look no further you have got your answer. It has its flaws, and it's not cheap, but this new VAIO makes up for its shortcomings with sheer capability.

Intel speeds up the fibers for computers

Researchers at Intel are showing off an silicon modulator that can pass 40 gigabits of data in a second, a new record that indicates that fiber-inside-computers is really coming. For the past several years, Intel, Primarion, IBM and others have been coming up with ways to mass produce optical components on standard silicon manufacturing lines. There have been prototypes for modulators, lasers, and other parts.


A modulator is an component from the fiber optic industry. It essentially chops up light from a laser into blips that ultimately will be understood as 1s and 0s by a computer. Right now, computers (and chips) pass signals via electrons traveling along metal wires. Metal wires give off heat, which has created an energy crisis inside computer. Fiber optics however transmit data with photons, which are faster than electrons and don't give off heat.

So we finally might be coming near to what we can call the next generation computers !

Fujitsu's Flash Based LifeBooks

Fujitsu have shifted to Flash Memory for their latest LifeBooks, the reason being that they are more accessible and durable. The Fujitsu LifeBook B6210 comes with a 16GB or 32GB drive made of flash memory. A flash drive is more durable than a traditional hard drive. You could drop your notebook and at least the flash drive would continue working.

Flash-based tablet PCs constitute a small piece of a niche market, but the two technologies marry well. Flash memory drives hold far less data than regular hard drives, but consume less power.

The downside however is that that flash drives hold a lot less than traditional drives. But the smaller capacity may not be such a problem in tablets, according to Fujitsu.

Intel's Classmate PC

My previous attempt at doing a review on a cheap laptop created quite a lot of hype, so i decided to bring into consideration another one. This time it is the Intel Classmate PC, this particular PC isn't for professional use, this is Intel's attempt at making a PC for the Children in the under developed world.

The Classmate starts at $225, at a comfortable price of $350 you can get it preloaded with Windows Xp and Microsoft Office 2003.


The Classmate PC is available with either Linux or Windows XP, 256MB or 512MB of RAM, and either a 1GB or 2GB SSD hard drive. The 7-inch screen has a native resolution of 800x480, and the system includes headphone and mic jacks, speakers, two USB ports, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and an Ethernet jack. With a 900MhZ ultralow-voltage Celeron processor, Intel says it should run for about three hours per charge.

For the processing speed of this kind, the laptop has been stated to run quite comfortably on Windows XP. Surfing online isn't much of a problem either, the only thing which might be of some concern is that it does slow down when multi-tasking.

The Cheapest Laptop in the World

The Medison Celebrity laptop. It's a $150 laptop from Swedish company Medison that's available through the Columbus, Ohio-based online reseller 2Checkout.com. This laptop costs and amazing $150 !


This laptop features a large, wide-screen 14-inch WXGA display and weighs a reasonable 4.8 pounds. Powering the Medison Celebrity is a 1.5GHz Intel Celeron M 370 processor and 256MB of RAM. It uses Fedora Linux, which requires less muscle to run than a Windows OS and no Microsoft licensing fee. Rounding out the specs are a 40GB hard drive, an integrated Via PN800 graphics chip, and 802.11g Wi-Fi. You also get stereo speakers, three USB 2.0 ports, and a PC Card slot. Medison backs the laptop with a one-year warranty but offers little detail about the terms.

And guess what, $150 is all you have to pay, the shipping is also free and there are no extra charges whatsoever!

Toshiba Portege R500-S5002

Perhaps the laptop we've been most looking forward to checking out this year, Toshiba's Portege R500 is very close to the final word in ultraportable systems. Incredibly thin and light, it manages to squeeze a 12-inch display into a package even lighter than Sony's 11-inch VAIO TZ150.

This laptop costs around $2000 for the base model and $2150 for the upgraded version.


Toshiba's much-anticipated Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop available right now. This is an extremely thin and light has excellent battery life and even includes optical drive. This machine has a weight badge of 2.4 pounds! Which is much greater than extraordinary. The laptop also has a 120 GB hard drive, a 1.2 GHz Intel core 2 duo processor and Mobile Intel Express 950GM video card.

The only thing this laptop lacks is no mobile broadband and that very limited configuration options.

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX

This new card from Nvidia outruns all its competitors in performance, with 768 MB of memory and 575 Mhz core clock speed this is as good as it gets. This card dominates all other rivals as ATI, it matches the image quality of the ATI. This is also the first car that comes with DirectX 10 support. This card also gets a 9 out of 10 rating from CNET.


Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GTX not only beats ATI to market with its next-gen 3D graphics hardware, it also eliminates ATI's image-quality advantage in current-generation titles. Throw in its sheer horsepower, and Nvidia gives the high-end enthusiast every reason to make this purchase. This card costs around $600

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 Quad-Core

The quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6850 keeps the desktop CPU performance belt tied firmly around Intel's waist at a price that helps offset the lack of sizable performance gains. New products at the end of the year may outclass this new chip when they arrive, but for now, the QX6850 reigns supreme.


This new chip offers slightly faster performance for significantly less money than Intel's previous quad-core CPU. Forth coming chips from AMD and intel itself might render this chip less lime light and this might give an expensive effect. These new chips will come in 6 months period or so but untill then this is the best it gets :)
