Sony VAIO X – Atom powered VAIO TT replacement? We do not think so! – Lots of pictures of it inside!

Sony VAIO X – Atom powered VAIO TT replacement? We do not think so! – Lots of pictures of it inside!

Sony has unveiled its latest netbook offering: the VAIO X. It is very sleek and is almost half-an-inch thin. This new gorgeous-looking ultraportable comes with an 11.1-inch screen and weighs just 1.5 pounds! Reason? It uses carbon fiber. Right now, the specs have not been fully finalized, but for the particular moment, it is there with an Atom processor. However, we expect SONY to swap it with a bit more powerful CULV processor. It has got a 2GB RAM module and a 31Wh battery. Its resolution is 1366 x 768 and the display is matte.

Other than that, it comes with 2 USB 2.0 ports, VGA out and has WWAN support. The official word regarding the specs is expected to come in the month of October and will go on sale after Windows 7′s release.

So is it valid replacement to their now defunct VAIO TT? Well, VAIO TT was very very expensive, which retailed for over $2000. SONY was not able to sell a lot of those units due to similar form factor offered by the netbooks that retailed for as low as $200, which is 1/10th of VAIO TT’s price. If the SONY still decides to ship with the ATOM processor, then VAIO X will NOT be a VAIO TT replacement as the TT was able to run Vista pretty nicely and had 4GB RAM. Unfortunately, due to wonderful restrictions enforced by Intel in their Atom processors, it is not possible to use have 4GB RAM in a netbook. Atom, although runs Vista quite well (after a bit of tweaking and 2GB RAM), but the experience and speed is not as good as XP. Perhaps Windows 7 will be able to do what Vista could not do: Kill Windows XP.

ASUS Eee PC 1101HA 0309 BIOS Re-enables Overclocking – Download it now!

A user of eeeuser has confirmed that with the just released BIOS 0309, it is possible to re-enable the overclocking features with 2GB RAM. Until now, it you upgraded your EEE 1101HA to 2GB RAM, you won’t be able to overclock as the BIOS did not allow overclocking with 2GB RAM. Well, those are things of past now and now you can have 2GB RAM under the hood and enjoy upto 30% overclocking too!

You can obtain the driver from ASUS and use your update program to use the new BIOS.

Funny thing is that ASUS update will prompt you to downgrade to the 0308 version, which you should simply ignore if you wish to preserve the overclocking capabilities.

Dell Inspiron 11z CULV netbook gets official – Feature packed netbook!

Dell Inspiron 11z CULV netbook gets official – Feature packed netbook!

Dell has finally unveiled its much-awaited 11-inch netbook/mini- laptop, the Inspiron 11z. Unlike most of the netbooks that come with Intel Atom processors, this new netbook from Dell uses an Intel Celeron processor that runs at 1.2GHz clock speed which is noticeably faster than any Intel Atom processor released till date. That is the reason why Dell is selling them with Windows Vista Home Premium instead of good ‘ol Windows XP which almost all the current netbooks carry.

Another interesting thing to note is the fact that there are no physical left and right click buttons. How difficult or easy it makes the usage cannot be commented upon right now, but we guess that Dell must have made some enhancements to the touchpad to make it usable for the normal consumer.

It even packs in an HDMI port, 2GB RAM and 250GB hard disk, all of which are not common on netbooks due to the restrictions by Microsoft according to which a manufacture cannot use Windows XP on a netbook that has more than 160GB HDD or/and 1GB RAM.

Specifications:-

  • CPU: 1.2GHz Intel Celeron 723 CULV processor
  • Video: Intel GS45 integrated graphics
  • Display: 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixels

  • Dimensions: 11.5″ x 8.4″ x 0.9″

All this at an affordable price of $399. We say it is great deal for what you get: more horsepower and RAM along with hi-resolution screen and HDMI output, you cannot go wrong with this machine!
