This morning we opened the week with five new processors from AMD, which fall within the Athlon II and Phenom II, and arriving earlier to join the existing models.

The new models belong to middle and low ranges, with prices between 74 and 169 euros, without bringing any striking difference. Of note is the Phenom II AMD X2 555, Dual-Core Black Edition type that will sell for $ 99.

The list of new models and some of its features is:
AMD Athlon X2 II 255 at 3.1 GHz, 65W TDP, $ 74.
AMD Athlon II X3 440 to 3.0 GHz, 95W TDP, $ 84.
AMD Athlon X4 II 635 2.9 GHz, 95W TDP, $ 119.
AMD Phenom X2 II 555 to 3.2 GHz, 80W TDP, $ 99.
AMD Phenom X4 II 910e to 2.6 GHz, 65 W TDP, $ 169.

The Athlon X2 II 255 is positioned as an interesting option towards users who do not need much power, more affordable than the cheapest of Intel Core GPU i3 but not including, of course. In addition, the AMD Phenom X4 910e II stands out as the upper middle range, with four cores, good power consumption and very acceptable, especially with a fairly moderate price.

Needless to say, these five new models are designed for desktop computers with the AM3 socket and also support DDR3 memory.

Dell has updated its Inspiron 15 notebooks this week, a veteran classical portable. It has done a big way, using some of the latest technologies available.

More interesting to the general public, the new Dell Inspiron 15 Intel Core used i3 and i5 in different versions, making it possible your custom settings. The chart is available the default (use the integrated Intel GPU in the processor itself) or go with a dedicated ATi 4330. What we do we will be using DDR3 RAM and 15-inch screen and 1366 x 768 pixels. Is lacking the ability to switch between the integrated GPU and dedicated, so that the user can choose according to your needs. It would be ideal to maximize the latest models of Intel processors, but unfortunately I fear they will be very few teams that integrate this functionality.

From the aesthetic point of view, noted that several colors can be chosen, but that yes, we will have to pay 40 euros more. For now the custom design, called Design Studio Dell are not available for our country.

These new Dell Inspiron 15 and can be purchased in Spain for a starting price of 499 euros, including Core i3-330M, 3 GB of memory and integrated Intel GPU on the CPU. Dell also has updated its Inspiron 17 with the main difference to use a larger screen but also with a larger price, starting at 784 euros. And indeed, in Latin America announce an Inspiron 14 with similar specifications as we have discussed here, but this is not available in Spain.

A focused laptop portability without compromising on power. We could define this MSI x420 X-Slim, the new brand laptop that comes with 14-inch widescreen display and 1366 × 768 pixel resolution, a thickness of 2.4 inches and weighs 1.88 Kilos content.

With Windows 7 operating system by default, the MSI x420 X-Slim goes bad either component, and riding an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.3GHz, along with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430 up to 1GB of DDR3 two memory slots for 4GB of RAM DDRIII to 1066 and a hard disk which can vary between 250 and 500 GB.

Among the connections include two USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port, VGA and HDMI output in addition to Ethernet connectivity, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It also includes an integrated webcam and a card reader, although it only supports SD and MMC.

But where they really highlights this new model of MSI is on autonomy, having the option of an 8-cell battery that promises up to 9 hours of battery life (6.7 to be real), which is not bad taking into account their characteristics.

Good looking laptop if portability-power balance, although we can not give a verdict without knowing the price, which has not yet been released by MSI.

HP will be ready by the end of the year a curious TabletPC. It is what we all think, the style of the new Internet tablet, but a portable touchscreen traditional swing, but will have at least a curiosity.

This HP Tablet keep a microprojector integrated into the area in which we now find the webcam but in the other direction, so that we can be computer controlled and simultaneously using it as a projector. The manager of the team will make Quanta Computer. Before the computer brand will launch its own individual models. All of this range seems clearly focused on their important professional section.

But it is not the only news about future products from HP that you can count on. Along with that line of tablets microprojectors classics, the company is planning models that do not carry out physical keyboard, the style of the tablets to surf the Internet and play multimedia content that this trend will be 2010.

Everything indicates that the recently introduced Sony DSC-TX7 will be accompanied on the full range of the Japanese company for a waterproof model. We have no official confirmation, nor the exact specifications of the model, but on the network have already decided to name it Sony DSC-TX5.

It really gives strength to this information are the advertising images of the model, we share with you, and where we can see that look virtually identical with the aforementioned Sony DSC-TX7 (only appreciate a location different logo). That yes, we can see her wearing her special characteristic, the water resistance.

We appreciate the addition of this feature to a camera already very desirable for their compact size, and spectacular specifications, and to remember that the model was allegedly based touch screen features, debuts new Exmor CMOS sensor (backlit) and has the ability to record video in 1080p format.

According to the source of the story, the images were published by Sony itself for a short time, and it is clear that there is an important photographic work in them, but little more can we say about it.

I believe that despite the expectations that we create, if the device is to materialize, its specifications will be below the Sony DSC-TX7, and I suppose the technology used to be resistive touch screen to be used in all conditions.

I bet we’ll have more about it at the next PMA photography trade show to be held in California (19-23 February).

Sony Ericsson, that this is special, has introduced a new advanced mobile phone without any prior notice through. In fact, it was sa Sony’s own press agency, but his that has the alarm bells ringing and then recant. Suddenly, making for the new 8 megapixel Sony Ericsson Lively, very attractive name.

With a similar appearance to the Xperia X10, long and fairly straight format, the Sony Ericsson Lively media element is a camera with 8 megapixels is capable of recording video with 720p resolution. These videos can then jump directly to sites like YouTube.

Sony Ericsson Lively camera boasts
Perennial All Sony Ericsson focuses on the camera, 8.1 megapixels as already noted, and all the aid that you expect and is a terminal which wants to replace our compact everyday. Thus, we find systems like smile detection, geotagging snapshots, autofocus and image stabilization.

All this is going to be able to control its 3.2-inch touch screen and resolution of 360 ? 640 pixels. The rest of the specifications are as basic as who we would say, FM radio, 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, GPS and WiFi and TV out. As for the operating system, this Sony model comes with Symbian S60.

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.
