Asus EEE PC dual hardcore!

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Asus released a different machine, something small, something portable and something mobile. Other manufacturers followed suit where Intel even designed a processor specially for the mobile x86 market. Now all the main vendors such as msi, asus, dell etc are all at it!

There are talks about a dual core atom processor called ‘intels nettop-orientated atom 330′ ready for release next year.  Soon as any updates emerge I will send out the specifications to you all.

MSI 9 Cell Laptop Battery

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

There has been mentioning of nine cell laptop battery the people over at eeepc news have managed to get their hands on a picture of a MSI laptop with a battery larger than the current EEE PC battery pack.

MSI’s current laptop uses a 3 cell battery pack much smaller than the new implementation. I expect that MSI will continue to ship 3 cell battery packs to the consumer. Consumers will then be able to buy the nine cell battery packs separately allowing users to use their laptops during long journeys.

This is not however advanced technology far from it, the battery cell is basically 9 cells crammed together making your laptop bulkier and heavier than it was before. Its entirely up to you, the weight vs the added power? Who cares about looks when you have three times the power! I’m sure some users would disagree, notebook air? Nah!

Will there ever been a new technology that will reduce the size of the cell? Can we increase power and decrease size? Will solar panels on calculators be used for laptops to create a greener laptop? Well only time can tell.

Keep checking this space for updates!
