Hypersonic Avenger AG2 / 12-inch Notebook review

Announcement Hypersonic Avenger AG2 notebook was just launched on May 22nd, 2008, but that doesn't mean we haven't had a sample for well over a month now. The Hypersonic Avenger AG2 notebook is the same thing as the Clevo M72R notebook, so Hypersonic was able to get a production sample in our hands before they officially started to carry this recently released 12.1" notebook. This gave us the chance to do a long term test drive, which is something we rarely get to do in the fast paced computer industry. For the past month we have used the Hypersonic Avenger AG2 as our traveling notebook. The Hypersonic Avenger AG2 is available in six colors and is built on the Intel Santa Rosa platform, which is the latest and greatest platform by Intel. The Hypersonic AG2 has a 12.1" WXGA TFT display with a glossy finish and a maximum resolution of 1280x800. Not bad for an ultra-portable customizable notebook that starts at $1,239!

Since we had plenty of time with the Hypersonic Avenger AG2 we took it on a couple trips where we were able to see how the system fairs. With an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.5GHz), 6MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB processor sitting under the keyboard this is sure to be one quick notebook.

The Avenger AG Series Specification :

* Up to Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.5GHz), 6MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB
* Intel GM965 Integrated (X3100) with up to 256MB Shared Memory
* DirectX 9 Compatible
* Up to 4GB 667MHz DDR2
* 12.1” WXGA TFT Wide Screen (16:10)
* 1280x800 Native Resolution
* Built-in Bluetooth, 1.3MP Web Cam, Wireless LAN
* Hot Keys for E-Mail, Web Browser, and Silent Mode
* 7-in-1 Card Reader

The Hypersonic Avenger AG2 12 inch notebook is the smallest and lightest notebook that Hypersonic has sold to date. On a recent American Airlines flight we found ourselves stuck with an economy window seat from LAX to STL, but the Avenger AG2 was found to be the perfect size.[www.legitreviews.com]

14-inch Types Of Notebook Computers Review

14 widescreen laptops

Notebook, notebook computer, laptop, and laptop computer are different terms for a small computer, which is mobile, and weighing about 1 to 6 kg or 2.2 to 18 pounds, depending upon the model. In 1979-1980, Bill Moggridge of GRiD Systems Corp. designed one of the first laptops and named it as the GRiD Compass 1101. In May 1983, Gavilan Computer Corp. introduced and first marketed as a laptop, known as Gavilan SC.

In 1989, Compaq introduced Compaq LTE, which was a laptop of a smaller size, about the size of an A4 paper notebook, and it popularly came to be known as a notebook computer or notebook. Thereafter the terms laptop and notebook began to be used interchangeably. Nevertheless, the terms, notebook and laptop are incorrect terms, as due to the heat, many laptops cannot be placed on top of the lap, and most notebooks are not the size of an A4 paper notebook. However, what manufacturers usually call as a notebook, end-users prefer to call it as a laptop; hence both the terms are used.

Thus, further innovations have introduced transportables (which can be moved from one place to another without supporting mobile computing); tablets (which feature touchscreens and support mobile computing); ultra mobile PCs (which are very small and compact tablet PCs); internet tablets (which support internet and mobile computing); personal digital assistants (PDAs), which are pocket-sized and support mobile computing; handheld computers, which represent expensive tablets or PDAs; and smartphone, which is a PDA or a handheld computer with cellphone integration.

Commercial purposes like attending phone calls, receiving and sending emails and faxes, typing out letters and printing them, making presentations with pie and bar charts, and taking data from one place to another can be achieved by any standard notebook. However, high fliers prefer thin-and-light notebooks and for regular office work, ultraportable notebooks are preferred. Both are wireless notebooks so they can be remotely accessed. Scientific purposes are best suited with a notebook that features fast computing speed, good 2D and 3D graphics display, and a large memory, like desktop replacement notebook, and a thin-and-light notebook. Artistic purposes require animation, 2D and 3D drawings, interior & exterior designing, arranging music compositions, post-production audio-video work, etc., which can be fulfilled by desktop replacements, gaming notebooks, and mainstream notebooks.

Educational institutions normally do not prefer notebooks due to its high chance of being stolen. However, to keep up with the times, and to be considered as techno-savvy, they do invest in notebooks. The types of notebooks best suited for educational purposes are mainstream notebooks, and desktop replacements. They need to take the notebook wherever they go, hence, size and weight are major considerations. The type of notebook that fulfills student needs is a thin-and-light notebook with locking facility so that they can lock it with their backpack. Most students report late submission of projects due to their notebooks being stolen.

So no matter what the purpose one might have for using a notebook, it seems that mobility will always seem to be the main reason for such a product purchase. Nowadays with so many models being offered with affordable prices, it seems that notebooks will always be a product in demand. After all it is one of the best selling computer hardware for quite some time. And that says it all.

Tulip E-Go Diamond Small Notebook Review

Tulip describes its beaut of a machine as the "world's most desired luxury notebook," and judging by its looks it certainly fits the part. The appropriately named E-Go Diamond, whose chrome handle and rounded curves make it resemble a women's handbag, features changeable skins made of superior-quality leather that are set with white-gold plates (which in turn are set with diamonds), titanium hooks, and sliding panels that mask unsightly ports and connections. As you may have discerned, this notebook is all about the bling, as the specs are pretty standard issue: 12-inch antiglare display, 2GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, integrated webcam, Bluetooth 2.0, and DVD burner. Still, this could be the next big fashion accessory for Paris Hilton-types worldwide.

But wait, that’s not all – the laptop also comes with solid palladium white gold plates, in which 358 brilliant cut diamonds are embedded with surgical precision, a total of 80 carats, as well as 2 square cut rubies placed in the logos. No wonder it is the most expensive notebook ever built.

The hardcore gamers looking into this purchase will be glad to know that it comes with the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 mobile video card with video-out capabilities. The most expensive laptop is shaped in a stylish handbag shape with an integrated chrome handle and changable Alcantara skins, so it won’t be hard to take it with you to LAN parties and other social events.

CASIO's Fiva Notebook Review

Casio Computer, most famous for watches or pocket organizers, will be introducing a Crusoe-based sub-notebook at COMDEX, Monday November 13th. The sleek little Cassiopeia Fiva weighs in less than one Kilo, measures less than 1 inch (21mm to be exact) thick, uses a 8.4" TFT screen and can run for an eternal 9 hours with the largest battery option.

In the few days after Tranmeta's IPO arrived there have been a slew of product announcements, and more are expected throughout the week as COMDEX unfolds. The Cassiopeia Fiva is still in prototype stage, but is expected to hit the market as soon as Q1 2001. It is not clear if the Fiva will be available in North America at this time, or just Asia. Currently, most of the notebooks, or sub-notebooks which have made it to market have only been released in Japan where there are more services available to compliment the notebooks. In particular integrated wireless internet access has been a major selling point.

"The prototype unit is the size of an A5 file with a thickness of 21 millimeters (0.8 inch), housed in a lightweight, compact body. The unit weighs less than a kilogram (35.3 ounces) and features an 8.4-inch SVGA TFT LCD."

Casio has managed to squeeze upwards of 6 to 9 hours out of the unit, when employing the largest battery size. It has not been stated what the average battery time will be for the standard battery the unit ships with. The large battery is an extra purchase for would-be Fiva buyers. Although detailed technical specs are scarce at this time, the Fiva, running WindowsMe, will include the following features: "diverse I/O standards, including compatibility with a 100Base-TX LAN, iEEE1394, USB, a CompactFlash (CF) Type II card slot, a PC Type II card slot and a v.90/K56 Flex high-speed modem, and also offers excellent expandability and network connectivity."

With additional notebook suppliers being mentioned on an almost daily basis, it will be interesting to see how Transmeta's (NASDAQ: TMTA) stock will fair in the days after COMDEX. The loss of a potential deal with IBM to include Crusoe in its ThinkPad 240 was a large mental-stumbling point for many investors.
