Intel, which is placing a massive its Intel Atom 2 in all ultraportables in the world, has also been released to update with these chips for their own ultra-education sector and developing countries. But the renovation goes a little further.

The new Intel Classmate modifies its characteristics and quite away from the original model. For example, the screen rises to the 10.1-inch, touch-type, and confirm the bet TabletPC model. The processor, as already indicated, will be the new Intel Atom 2 with Models N470 and N450 at 1.83 GHz to 1.66 GHz, thereby improving performance without blaming the team size or consumption.

Already more strange, especially when we look at the profile it is intended this type of equipment, we feel it is thought to include 3G connectivity and Wimax. The announcement of the new model is scheduled to occur at half of 2010. At the moment Argentina has already purchased 250,000 units.

Intel just announced in his blog both as on their official website that besides the i5 Core processors will see under the eaves of i3 and the disappearance Core Core 2 Duo / Quad. The problem? confusion everywhere.

Personally I miss the time when Pentium prevailed. The consumer public know that a Pentium 4 was better than a Pentium 3 and the rest were little things like indicating the speed at which it works and holy remedy, but then came Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Pentium Dual Core, Celeron and an amalgam of processors that are theoretically “better” than previous models but lack features like hardware virtualization. To clarify the confusion decided to simplify what they call “good, better, best” to prefixes Core i3, i5 and i7. The big dilemma is that repeated the same mistake that AMD to have different sockets for each platform, which will only annoy the USER.

Although any of their equipment has gone to AMD, MSI to know that now is the Intel Core i7 processor that hit hard. This particular MSI GT640 features a Intel Core i7 720QM to 1.6 gigahertz. Their presence makes it a powerful laptop, capable of recent games and multimedia entertainment of all kinds.

Its 15.4-inch screen has a diagonal with a resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels. In addition to its quad-core processor, the GT640 also boasts good graphics performance, thanks to the Nvidia GeForce GTS 250M a gigabyte. His four gigabytes of RAM or hard disk of 500 gigabytes are further evidence of its potential. You can install a Blu-ray, but because its definition is not Full HD, it may be preferable to remain with the DVD recorder.

To connect to wireless Internet has integrated Wi-Fi, while Bluetooth is optional. The laptop also has two megapixel webcam, stereo speakers, HDMI outputs high definition video, a pair of USB ports and one eSATA and USB hybrid. It offers the option to choose between a six-cell battery or a nine, the latter being the most appropriate given the characteristics of the product.

The weight of 2.7 kilograms main negative point is that we can impute to the MSI GT640. Yet final price is unknown, and on what dates are available for sale. However, since that will come with Windows 7, its release is subject to the new Microsoft windows. That is, by October 22.

With a storage capacity of 80 GB and 160. The new solid state drives from Intel are a trend on its predecessors. Manufactured with 34 nanometer technology, the units SSD X25-M and X18-M allow for greater storage density. At the same time, reduce their manufacturing costs. Something that is particularly strong in its final selling price.

The X25-M and X18-M retained only the name of the old models which take over. Both measures of 2.5 and 1.8 inches. As it expresses its own nomenclature.

Incorporate SATA interfaces that connect the computer memory with ten parallel channels. Thus, access to information is much faster. According to Intel, the new SSD based on NAND memories provide a reduction in latency by 25%, which is 85 microseconds. So that access is the fastest to date.

Similarly, the random write speed of data in the device memory has also increased. Until double in both models. All these data suggest that the X25-M and X18-M reaches a data transfer rate of up to 250 sustained MB / s read and up to 70MB / s writing. For now, Intel has only provided the price of the X18-M amounting to $ 225 (158 euros). It is envisaged that both SSD drives coming to market in the coming days.
