OCZ introduces Neutrino Netbook

OCZ Technology has made its entry into the over-saturated netbook market by introducing OCZ Neutrino. After nine weeks this device will be made available in the US and will come in two variations. The first model is “DIY” (do it yourself) model and it will allow the consumer to select the RAM and HDD.

Second variation is the one where you will have to bear with the standard specifications, which are not bad at all. Here are the standard specs:

• 10.1-inch screen
• 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU
• 2GB of RAM
• Optional 250GB OCZ SSD
• 1,024×600 resolutio display
• Ethernet
• Wi-Fi
• 1.3 megapixel webcam
• 4-cell battery
• Ubuntu or XP

However the 4-cell battery has capacity of just 2200mAh, which is not going to give you great battery life at all. I figure, this would give you a maximum of 2 hours of battery life. Also, I was expecting a better design from OCZ. That said, it is still a nice thing to see netbooks coming pre-configured with Ubuntu OS.

A-Data launches 512GB SSD – claims to be world’s highest capacity SSD

A-Data Technology lauched a massive 512GB SSD at CeBIT 2009. The company claims that it is the highest capacity SSD in the whole industry. It has the read rate of 230MB/s and write speed of 160MB/s. It can be used in laptops, netbooks and PCs.

Samsung’s Nano-powered Q1EX UMPC showcased at CeBIT

Samsung NP-Q1EX, first spotted at CES in January is finally going to hit the US shores very soon. Unlike its older sibling, Q1U, it does not have a keyboard, which was quite useful for typing short URLs quickly and for basic office editing on-the-go. Although by shedding the keyboard, the Samsung was able to further shrink its size and thus making it more ‘portable’.

Specifications:

• 7-inch WSVGA touch screen (1024×600 resolution)
• Windows XP Home
• 1.2GHz VIA Nano ULV U2500 processor
• VIA’s Chrome9 HC graphics
• 1.3MP digital camera
• WI-Fi
• Bluetooth 2.0
• 60GB HDD
• 2GB RAM
• SD card slot
• 4000mAh battery

Samsung claims that it will have 4.5-hours of battery life. Right now, it is too early to comment on that. Also, its not-so-recession-friendly price tag of $775 is surely going to turn-off a lot of customers from buying it.
