Samsung Q1ex Reviewed: Lower Price, Lower Run-Time
My first reaction to Samsung keeping the Q1 UMPC series alive was a giant “meh!” I couldn’t understand why they’re trying to introduce a new model when for all intents and purposes the UMPC is dead. I do believe that as a concept it moved us forward and had much input to the current netbook craze, but that doesn’t merit a fourth go-around for the niche device.
LAPTOP Magazine just gave the Q1EX a review, and now I’m scratching my head even more. The price is down quite a bit over the Q1UP model: $750 as compared to around $1,200 when I bought mine. That’s great… but expected unless the hardware is beefed up. Doesn’t look like that’s the case with the CPU replacement nor the battery shrinkage.

Voodoo Envy 133 Reviewed- The One I’D Buy
Today’s buzz in the notebook world is all about the uber-thin Dell Adamo. There is something about super-thin, ultra-light expensive notebooks that get our geek juices going. One such notebook that has been out for a while is the Voodoo Envy 133. This baby is comparable to the Adamo in overall dimensions and HP (owners of the Voodoo line now) have packed a lot of juice in that small form. Dwight Silverman of The Houston Chronicle has gotten to play work with the Envy and has published a review of the notebook.

GALAXY Intros Tri-fan, 1792MB GTX260+ Graphics Card
The GeForce GTX260 gets hotter after NVIDIA partners made their price cut down to $179. In light of this, GALAXY Microsystems added to its lineup the custom-built GeForce GTX260+ with 1792MB memory. This graphics card takes full advantage of the high-density Samsung K4J10324QD-HJ1A memory chip which has a capacity of 128MB. GALAXY had used fourteen Samsung memory chips to populate the 448-bit GDDR3 memory bus of the graphics card, doling out a total of 1792MB memory capacity to meet the demands of hardcore gamers.
This card was based on a 55nm G200-103-B3 GPU with 216 shader processors, and equipped with GALAXY’s custom-made cooler which incorporates three fans and five heatpipes to dissipate GPU heat effectively.

Dell Releases World’s Thinnest Laptop Ever, Adamo
Austin-based manufacturer Dell has finally unveiled the first laptop from its new Adamo luxury range which is undeniably targeting Apple’s own Mac Book Air model and will be available in 24 countries worldwide.
Dell has already started taking pre-orders for the laptop which costs $1,999 in its cheaper version with a more expensive and powerful version available for $2,699; prospective buyers should receive the laptop by Saturday.
The first Adamo laptop comes in Onyx and Pearl colours and, like Apple’s Mac Book Pro laptop, is made up using a single block of aluminium (ed: which means that Dell and Apple would probably share the same Original Equipment Manufacturer).

Philips Xenium X810
The Xenium X810 is Philips latest arrival in the cell phone arena and it’s quite different from what we’re used to seeing from this brand. This model comes equipped with a touchscreen to slurp up power like a little vampire.
Some features include: a 240 x 400 pixel TFT touchscreen display with 262K colors, Navigation, Quad-band GSM connectivity with EDGE, 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, 45MB internal memory, microSDHC memory card slot, and up to one month of stand-by time. We don’t know when this will arrive, but it will likely debut in China.
It looks nice, but why would they not make the screen larger and up the battery?

Asus Eeebox B208 With Dual Core Atom & Radeon HD 4350
Reports of new Asus EeeBox B208 that appeared on Asus’s website before shortly disappearing into nowhere.
The EeeBox PC will feature a dual core Intel Atom 330 and a 256MB Radeon HD 4350 which is a plus as it comes with a built in HDMI port.
Along with that, it, a 320GB hard disk, and also 4x USB2.0 ports.
No official price has been given yet but I am hoping it will cost just a slight more than the existing Eeebox B206
