Eduwise: A Sub-$400 Notebook PC by Intel

At the on going fall Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco, Intel CEO Paul Otellini introduced a sub-$400 “Classmate PC” code named Eduwise for the emerging markets.
The notebooks are ear marked for volume production from the first quarter of 2007.

The Eduwise features Intel Celeron M CPU paired with 915 GMS chipsets and a 7-inch WVXGA (800 X 480 LCD display. The model has 1 GB flash memory instead of HDD because Intel felt that in the hands of children’s the HDDs will not be able to survive the impacts and rough handlings. A 6-cell standard Lithium Ion battery is the power source.

The system will adopt the Windows XP embedded OS. As a threat deterrent, the notebook will come with asset-control software, so if it is out of the classroom for too many days, the notebook disables itself.

The Classmate will also sport a special version of Windows so as to prevent kids from accessing Internet sites programs that have not been designated by parents or teachers as off-limits.

The first batch of the notebooks will be distributed in Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria and India. The machine ranges in price from US$220 to US$300 most of the price variation will depend on the taxes in the individual country.

CEATEC - Fujitsu Concept PC

Shown off at CEATEC, these two Concept Tablet PCs look like something even sexier than MacBooks and MacBook Pros. First there's the Turn Tablet PC, which is a large PC with a magnetic screen and a stylus that runs Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. It includes a standard keyboard and touch-pad, with a slot-loading DVD drive on the front. The second is a smaller UMPC-like device with the swiveling screen and a PSP/PS3-like UI. We're not exactly sure what the swiveling screen is for, but it sure does look cool. Plan on seeing these in your local Circuit City around the year two thousand and never.

Review WidowPC Sting 517D

 

Overview & Introduction
WidowPC Sting 517D notebook
The WidowPC Sting 517D is a high-end gaming notebook with more power than most desktops. It features a high-resolution 17” display, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and the holy grail of notebook GPUs, the Nvidia GeForce Go7900GTX with 512MB of dedicated memory.
Specifications:
Processor: Intel Core2Duo T7600 2.33GHz
Memory: 2GB WidowPC L33T RAM
Screen: 17" 1920x1200 WUXGA
Hard Drive One: 100GB 7200RPM SATA
Hot Swappable Hard Drive: 100GB 7200RPM SATA (only available on special request)
Hot Swappable Optical Drive: External DVD-RAM Multidrive
Video Card: nVidia 7900 GTX 512MB Cache
Wireless: Intel Pro Wireless 54Mbps a/b/g with Bluetooth
Operating System: Microsoft XP Professional
Media Features: 1.3Mpixel Digital Video Camera, 4-in-1 card reader
Our 517D has the highest specifications available, and it is certainly not for the budget-conscious, its final price as configured is retail $4,799.75. According to WidowPC, the price is “always negotiable”, so I would assume it can be had for less. The 517D starts at $2,695.
With a Core 2 Duo processor and a 512MB Nvidia graphics card, the 517D's first and foremost audience is gamers. The 517D is also targeted toward those who use 3D modeling applications extensively, as it has an option for the most powerful mobile workstation card available, the Nvidia QuadroFX Go2500 512MB, which is based on the Go7900GTX.
When it comes to competition, there are very few notebooks that can stand up to the 517D in terms of overall performance. Its number one competitor is the Dell XPS M1710, which is also very expensive and does not have the feature set that the 517D does.
Alienware's Area-51 m5750 is another 17” gaming notebook, but its ATI Mobility Radeon X1800 256MB has considerably less performance than the 517D's Nvidia Go7900GTX 512MB.
the design and overall appearance are a far cry from the ordinary notebook. From top to bottom, the 517D is a work of art. All aspects of the design fit together seamlessly, and nothing looks out of place.

dimensions:
Thickness: Front, 1”, back, 1.8”
Weight: 9.4 pounds w/ battery
Across: 15.6”
Front to back: 11.5”

The 517D is a heavy notebook, without a doubt. It is difficult to use on a lap because the main fan is on the right side of the notebook, and a knee can easily block it. I recommend getting some sort of pad if this is to see lap use.

The most eye-catching aspect of this notebook is the lid. Made out of aluminum, it is all-black and has the WidowPC signature black widow spider logo right in the center.

The Core 2 Duo T7600's performance is nothing short of mind blowing. It is the fastest mobile processor on the market, and it looks as if it will stay in that position for some time.

The installed hard drive is a Hitachi 100GB 7,200RPM unit. It operates at a low temperature, although it is a bit noisy as Hitachi hard drives traditionally are. A soft clicking noise is audible when the drive is accessed. Loading times for games and other applications were very fast.
2GB of RAM is a must-have for gamers and power users. The latest games will require more than 1GB of RAM to run smoothly at the highest settings. I did not run out of RAM during any scenario.

The WidowPC Sting 517D has a multitude of ports as a desktop replacement should have, including an ever rare DVI-D port for connections to external monitors and HDTVs, four USB 2.0 ports, and a legacy Serial port. The port placement is detailed in the following photos. All descriptions are left to right.
The Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K16 optical drive installed in our 517D reads and writes CDs and DVDs, along with dual-layer DVDs. The drive was reasonably quiet for all tasks, and I did not have any problems burning different types of media.

Rock Pegasus 330 Notebook

Due to an unforeseen accident involving a wallet-shaped projectile (presumably, a wallet? - ed) and a rather bouncy sofa, my Sony Vaio no longer has a working @ key. Not only does this particular character get used a lot, but on a UK keyboard the same key also provides the apostrophe.

As they say, every cloud has a silver lining - so when this Rock Pegasus 330 turned up in the labs, not only was its small size perfect for me to take to Computex, but it gave me some real hands on time with the machine.

The Pegasus 330 is a small notebook, weighing in at only 2.1kg making it perfect for anyone on the go. It opens up nicely even on a fairly cramped aeroplane, with room to spare. It has a small 13.3in widescreen display running at 1,280 x 768 using the integrated Intel 945GM graphics, so you won’t be playing any games. But this resolution is fine for word processing, email and other general use.

Inside there is an Intel Core Duo T2400, which operates at 1.83GHz. At the moment, this particularly processor offers the best value for money - so a good choice on Rock’s part. There is also 1GB of DDR2 memory, made up of two 512MB Corsair 4-4-4-12 modules. Being configured like this means performance should be a little better as it is running in dual-channel, but this makes upgrading difficult. If you want 2GB, you should specify this in the configurator and pay a little extra at the beginning.

The Pegasus 330 has several unique features worth noting. When plugged into the mains, the system is automatically overclocked by 5 per cent - in this case to 1.93GHz. I wouldn’t say no to an extra 100MHz, and this is well within the tolerance of the Core Duo range of processors. If the whole concept of overclocking scares every cell in your body, then you can turn this off in the BIOS.

Next to the power button lives two other buttons, each with unique functions. One is the silence button that will lower the clock speeds of the CPU so that the system fan doesn’t need to turn on. The system seemed really quiet anyway but it makes it perfect for listening to music before bed time, without being woken up by the intermittent sound of a whirring fan. Finally, there is the InterVideo InstantOn button. Pressing this button instead of the power button boots in to InterVideo's playback software, which is a Linux distribution stored on the computer. From here you can play DVDs, CDs, MP3's and control the supplied TV Tuner. This saves the hassle of booting in to Windows, which obviously takes time. Instant On is a bit of an exaggeration though, as it takes around 10 seconds to boot in to.

The speakers aren’t great for listening to music, but there is a stereo jack for audio output, so you can plug it in to a set of external support.

As some of you may know from my previous reviews, I’m not a big fan of trackpads and I don’t get on with them well at all. Because of this I have always had a love for the ThinkPad trackpoint and have found myself remarkably adept at keyboard shortcuts. The trackpad on my Sony Vaio is one of those rare trackpads that I actually do get on with – but this in itself is proof that it can’t just be me and that good trackpads are around.

On this notebook, it was certainly one of the better ones I’ve used and definitely rivalling the Sony. Occasionally the pointer would dart around the screen or it just didn’t seem to move at all but I think even the best trackpads suffer from this occasionally. I would certainly consider this trackpad to be above average and if I can use it for a couple of weeks without going crazy, it could be worse.
