New Asus Notebook: GeForce and bamboo for the upscale

Asus does not stop in so good way and enjoy his last press conference dedicated to laptops to renew two other families of laptops and adjust the same time the price positioning.

GeForce for PC multimedia
The Asus third generation N series processors adopt unsurprisingly Arrandale family, or optional power hungry CPU and quad-core Clarksfield family, as well as GeForce GT 325M.

The graphics are not the only ones to honor these new laptops as the N series are in turn the house SonicMaster audio technology, the same one that was designed in collaboration with Bang & Olufsen for the flagship presented earlier. We therefore promises a good quality sound for a laptop.

Available in size 15.6 or 17.3 inches, the Asus N53 or N73 as standard features a dual processor Core i5 heart-450M clocked at 2.40GHz, a graphics chip integrated over the chip GeForce 325M GT associated 1 GB of DDR3, with auto switching through Optimus technology, 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 640GB hard drive the sake of cost, the basic model of 17 inches is deprived of Blu -ray found on the entire range.

The power-hungry users can opt for a Core i7-720QM, but then they must draw a line much of the autonomy of their computer because this CPU does not include graphics chip, leaving all the work the greedy GPU dedicated.

The Asus N53 is 39 mm thick and weighs 2.7 kg and a price of 1100 euros in standard configuration. The Asus N73 measures the same thickness, but charged 3.41 kg on the scales for a cheap price of 1150 euros. They will be launched in September.

Of bamboo in the ultra-portable Eco
The Bamboo range is also updated to accommodate the platform Arrandale. It differs from other ultra-portable brand by integrating proprietary technology Super Hybrid Engine, which handles sub-clocking components even more that their specifications do not provide, and thus save even more energy, all in one sustainable manner. The bamboo that covers the palm rest and the cover of the screen is actually a plant that repels most easily and quickly in the world.

The Asus Bamboo U33 revolves around a screen WXGA LED backlight 13.3 inches while the Asus Bamboo U53 has the same definition of a screen of 15.6 inches. They contain both a Core i5-450M, an integrated graphics chip and a chip dedicated Nvidia GeForce 310M G equipped with 1GB of dedicated memory and compatible with the technology scale Optimus, 4GB of DDR3 RAM and hard drive 500-GB Model 15.6 "entitled to a DVD including the 13.3-inch guard.

The U33 is 31 mm thick to 1.8 kg and 1070 euros, the U53 33 mm 2.86 kg and 1130 euros. They will be launched in September.

Dell Inspiron R wireless display with Wireless Display

Dell today opened a new variant, we could almost be described as upgrade the Inspiron family. After launching the ultrafine family Inspiron Z , also still waiting to move to new low voltage processors from Intel , the U.S. manufacturer today launched the family "Inspiron R" entry level.

The new family "Dell Inspiron R" stands for a family or household use and student. Available in diagonal 14, 15 or 17 inches, the range starts to do this at $ 450 U.S.. The choice of a custom color, once confined to the outer face of the hood, now extends to the chassis of the keyboard. The brushed aluminum look and the reasons which make their appearance on the cover and the wrist rest are also reminiscent of HP's consumer line.

We also found a typical configuration of the time, no-frills standard, yet customizable, as always, this time with the availability of an option rather rare. The machines contain a mobile processor so Intel Core i3 or i5, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, hard drive up to 640GB and an ATI graphics card (model unknown) underpinned by up to 1 GB dedicated memory.

The family "Dell Inspiron R" will be marketed in the United States from June 25, for a launch date in Europe and particularly France have not yet been disclosed.

Toshiba Portege R700

Toshiba has announced the launch in the U.S., the Portege R700, a new ultraportable that offers a screen diagonal of 13.1 inches.

The successor to the R600, as light and fragile, it adopts a configuration based on Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 and should, unlike its predecessor, is positioned at prices reasonable enough, since the manufacturer about a launch price of $ 999 for the base configuration.

The R600 (12.1 inches) was regarded as a precious jewel with its flexible LED panel, the plastic coating sensitive to shocks and price, long located in a portion above 1500. With the R700, Toshiba is taking the party to streamline its supply and has a machine that seems more balanced, less exclusive, which nevertheless could be described as ultraportable due to a thickness of between 17 and 30 mm and a weight of around 1.5 Kg

The plastic gives way to a magnesium frame and low-power processors giving way to standard Intel mobile chips. Behind the slab and its resolution 13.1 "- relatively small - 1366 x 768 pixels, we thus find the basic model with a Core i3, 4 GB of DDR3 memory, a DVD burner drive and 500 GB hard drive, associated with the usual WiFi and Bluetooth. Also Part: USB / eSATA, with the possibility of charging a device without the machine is turned on. The manufacturer promises a theoretical autonomy of more than eight hours through the six-cell battery provided.

The Wind Top AE2420 revolves around a screen with backlight LED 23.4-inch Full HD displays a definition now standard. This panel thus presents the particularity of being multi-touch, but more importantly provide a refresh rate of 120 Hz, allowing restitution relief through a pair of active glasses (supplied).

Restitution in 3D on this machine is also the result of an implementation house, since MSI has opted for a graphics chip maker AMD's, which has so far no equivalent offer to 3D Vision rival Nvidia. Therefore, there is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 equipped with 1GB of DDR3 memory, complete with an infrared transceiver for synchronization with the LCD shutter glasses. The sound is about him as stereo (two speakers 5W) but it is enhanced by a subwoofer of 10 W

Regarding the management of multi-touch, MSI provides a full suite drawing. It includes three games and educational software for children, a few games for players of Sunday, a software note-taking, another drawing and a photo viewer.

The sheet also includes a dual-core Intel Core i5-650, with 4 MB of cache, displaying a high base frequency of 3.2 GHz and 3.46 GHz frequency Turbo. He is backed by a standard 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, a hard disk Serial ATA II with a capacity of 1TB comfortable and a multiformat DVD burner. Devoid of any wireless connection, however it offers a complete wired connection comprising six USB 2.0 ports, one eSATA port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and VGA, HDMI and SPDIF.

Windows 7 Comes Home Premium, with a keyboard, mouse and remote control-son, this computer is destined for the show. However, it lacks a Blu-ray, a digital tuner and an HDMI input in order to qualify as a true multi-media center.

The MSI Wind Top AE2420 will be launched in France in September 2010 retail price of 1550 euros.
