ASUS Seashell - Completely new design for Eee PCs

Netbooks have now become firmly established and the current wave of tablet it is unable to, to outdo them. Nevertheless, it is also necessary for the small and often purely functional equipment innovation, if one is to prevail over the now highly trained competitors. For this reason, ASUS, former pioneer generation of netbooks, now a completely new design in planning what is to be unveiled at Computex in a few days.

After the code name Seashell hiding for some time, the basic design, the sets, the majority of Eee netbooks. Now this one seems to want to work hard, which will in turn attract new customers for the kids. Today it appeared to match the official promotional image from Asus also a supposed photo of the device. The image, which was published by Notebook Italia, shows the new Eee PC in a similar pose as the poster suggests, however, much more than this.

Thus, the new Eee PC shows much thinner and more elegant than its recent predecessors, who always left a bit chunky appearance. The design appears to be similar to that of the Apple MacBook Air and gives hope to a very thin design. So you can see in the picture, it felt like so far is a Chiclet keyboard, which promises, with their large distances between the individual keys excellent typing, while the touchpad is relatively large and certainly offers a multi-touch operation.

To see the shift to the left missing or reduced ports of the device may have been due to the small air vents, most of the right side. The small opening can be a very low power consumption and thus hope for a long period, which is being dependent on the hardware used. The battery should represent the highest point of the netbook and serve as with the older equipment as a stand.

Further details are available yet, but you can count the days until the opening of Computex in Taipei almost on one hand. We are looking forward to the "next evolution of the Eee PC ".

Fujitsu LifeBook T901 - Convertible based on Intel

If necessary, it becomes a Tablet for long text entry, it offers a full keyboard. However, we are not talking about a netbook, but a sophisticated convertible from Fujitsu. Technically equipped up to date and with an optical drive that will be positioned against the current convertible tablets that have reported at least in the business day nothing, for here are other strengths, as a visual clips, OS or Apps Goals.

Thus, the T901 comes with a 13.3-inch, LED backlit screen, therefore, recognized the touch input on a kapazititves (berühungsempfindliches) Touch Panel. This can be easily turned when needed and fold on the keyboard, with the hinge at the T901 is made ​​of metal, not plastic like most convertibles. At the top there is also a fold-3G antenna, and a webcam, while edged down right next to two small stereo speakers and quick launch buttons.

In the lower part of the device, which comprises the actual technique, initially decrease the water splash-resistant, anti bacterial keyboard and the DVD drive into the eye. But these first NEBn abnormalities is also the inner life of the T901-to-date technology. Cheered by this is an Intel Core i5-2520M processor, 2 GB RAM and Intel integrated HD3000 graphics unit. The unit stores data on a 250 GB hard drive, which is parked on a shock sensor, so as to increase the crash resistance and security. Other facilities with a fingerprint sensor, a smart card slot and bit-locker encryption also adapted to the world of work. Thus the device is not too soon out of breath, we built a strong 5800 mAH Lithium Ion battery with 63 Wh Prices for the T901 now starting at around $ 1899, so far the unit is not yet been announced for Europe.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 - new ultra-thin model presented

Lenovo wants to relocate with the ThinkPad X 1 in the notebook market. The device, which is high at its highest point just 21.5 mm, offers a lot of technology in a very limited space and can be used to high quality score. Due to its special design and selected materials should be prepared for the 13.3-inch-sized device for daily use in harsh business sector.

Let's start with the housing, which reminds the form refers to the IBM TinkPads past. The housing is made ​​of a special magnesium alloy in order to, vibration, shock and withstand shock very well and can be long, combined with low weight. But the weak point display was provided for this reason with a shell made of gorilla glass, which is to abkönnen according to the manufacturer and direct blows. The last is of special protection from foreign influence, the waterproof, illuminated keyboard to call, which will protect the notebook from caffeine-containing or disaster such as rain.

An important advantage of this device and its built-in battery rapid charge technology that enables the loading of around 5.5 hours is sufficient battery within 30 minutes to about 80%. A groundbreaking achievement for all those who depend every day on their electronic companions, and so far heruntragen extra batteries with them had. But not only the battery is the X1 standards, including the hardware inside is on the state of the art. Thus, the X1 is closed on Intel technology, ranging from the processor, a representative Sandy Bridge, on the chipset with integrated Intel graphics to HD Intel SSD and 8 GB RAM. More important to most users, however, the equipment, as absolute loyalty. Therefore, we installed next to WLAN and Bluetooth and a 3G data modem, a 720p camera, and a 4-in-1 card reader. Last but not least, there is Dolby Home Theater V4 technology, enabling music enjoyment in between or the conference call can be supplied in adequate quality.

Gnaz is fun but not cheap, and thus of little interest to private customers who previously flirted with the new 13 inch model. At least $ 1,399 will be due for the base model, the prices up, however, are open. On its own website, Lenovo to a very good successful video over the X1, which indicates the strength of the device at hand of a normal Daily schedule.
 

Sony plant VAIO Laptop mit Chrome OS

In addition to notebooks and netbooks going on for some time on another niche that Sony is now targeting: Smart Books. It almost seems as if the producers wanted to dominate every inch of display size for its own form factor in order to sell new devices. The planned book with VAIO Smart Chrome OS is no exception, but it sounds technically very interesting.

Looking at the specifications, it is a smart bookmark to a notebook based on Smartphone, and that this factor is to make the devices so interesting. Built in such way you have a Tegra2 Dual core porcessor that will provide with its 1GHz clock and the powerful graphics processor for the appropriate speed. Coupled with a gigabyte of RAM and 16GB flash memory eMMC reminds very much of the unit current tablets. In Gegensatzu to these there is an 11.6-inch display with 1366 x 768 pixels, and a normal laptop keyboard. Equipped with a nondescript Battery to the VAIO Smart Network Book operate independently up to 8 hours, although there is Wi-Fi, GPS or Bluetooth can be used. The whole device is here only weigh about 1kg, and comes to the former founder of netbooks, the Eee PC 701, dangerously close.



The plan is to present the device for the middle of this year, and will probably cost around 600 €. Whether there are up to that other Smart Books by other manufacturers is difficult to predict. The step to be able to only use Chrome and OS alone, but could be a problem for Sony when the software is not being maintained actively enough.
