Computer Spot

The year 2008 has been an extremely successful one for Asus. Their mini notebooks were so popular, they were like the iPhone and PSP in their respective markets – the pioneer and the leader.

Come the last quarter of 2008, Asus releases yet another 10-inch mini notebook-styled machine. It has since been rated as one of the most exciting mobile computers for that netbook-defined year.

The reason why this unit is so highly rated is because it combines the best features of full laptops and mini notebooks, its price tag at about $600 is also reflective of the market segment it belongs to. It is essentially a cross between laptops and netbooks.

While mini notebooks were previously pretty hopeless for slightly more intensive computing and especially gaming, the Asus N10 boasts having a relatively powerful display card, allowing it to play 3D games and high-definition videos decently and smoothly. Read the rest of this entry →

While it is true that mini notebooks are in hot demand now, it does not mean that the conventional-sized notebook market should be neglected.

Dell is certainly not going easy on either market. The Dell Studio XPS 16 which was released just over 3 months ago is a testimony of Dell’s intent not to allow the bigger form factor notebooks to fade into oblivion.

Dell Studio XPS 16 has the size of a conventional notebook but it is build to be more powerful than most. It is not only pleasing to the eye but it also packs the latest hardwares with top performances.

With its price ranging from $1200-$1800, it is almost 2-4 times more expensive than the average mini notebooks available in the market now. Naturally, its specifications are just as impressive. Read the rest of this entry →

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is a new feature incorporated in Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture (Nehalem) based processors.

This technology enables higher performance through the availability of increased core frequency under some configurations and workloads.

If the processor cores are operating below power, temperature and current specification limits, this technology allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency.

It can be engaged with any number of cores or logical processors enabled and active which produces increased performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads.

The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is available only on supported processor versions including the Intel Core i7.

With this technology, the processor is capable of maximizing core frequency while ensuring that it doesn’t exceed its electrical and thermal specifications.

It is also possible to contain a set-up option in BIOS to enable or disable the Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.  For ACPI operating systems, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is supported.

PStart is a useful small utility which works like a secondary start menu for user-defined applications.

Why do we need a secondary start menu?

Firstly, this tray tool is created to run portable applications such as portable Firefox and Thunderbird but essentially you can use it to start anything runnable from any local hard disk, removable disk and even USB key devices.

Besides opening programs, you can also use PStart to open important folders or specific frequently used documents.

The special thing about PStart is that it uses relative paths when installed as a portable application, and this difference sets it apart from Windows shortcuts. Read the rest of this entry →
