MSI Wind U100 Category of small cheap notebooks became very popular and there is no wonder why most of big brands want a piece of cake for themselves. But Asus got all of them off-guard. Because of that we’ve been waiting rather long for Eee’s true rival . We’ve already mentioned MSI’s agility which allowed them again to be first with new product on market. Their trump card wears name Wind and model that InsideHW had tested is MSI Wind U100. ... Puma Platform for Notebooks The long waited AMD platform for notebooks under the name PUMA is finally introduced and InsideHW had a chance to test notebook based on this platform. To all users that have been waiting cheap integrated graphics with good performances, time has come. Intel Centrino was so far “untouchable” in field of portable computers but AMD Puma, by all appearance, got a necessary quality to fight for highest position. ... Prestigio Data Safe II Fashion Edition USB hard disks lately become very popular. This especially goes for 2.5’’models. The reasons for that can be found in their usefulness and practicality. Yet, we are living in times when it is necessary to transfer huge amounts of data from place to place. At first, manufacturers on market fought with larger and larger capacity of these devices. Lately, when capacity stopped being key factor, manufacturers turned to HDD case design. On that field, Prestigio went step ahead of its competitors and launched Prestigio data Safe II Fashion Edition. ... ATI 48xx Architecture At the end of June, in Spain, we were introduced to a new series of 48xx graphics cards from ATI. We saw then only RV770PRO (4850) but at this moment 4870 (RV770XT) is also available. Even though our sources from AMD didn’t unveil why 4870 wasn’t shown on launching, we assume that some problems with quantities of available GDDR5 memory occurred. Considering that 4850 uses GDDR3 memory, it is no surprise that many retailers had them on stock. ATI 4870 will be sold, in beginning, exclusively with GDDR5 memory (this is the first graphics card that uses this memory) but AMD leaves a possibility that some innovative partner might launch later version that uses GDDR3 memory. ... Sapphire HD 4850 It’s rare occasion to have on test, on the same month, new generation products from two big rivals (nVIDIA and ATI). This is really good news because ATI had some serious delays with R600 and that is one of reasons why it was so indifferently received on market. ATI realized that now must roll up its sleeves to catch up nVIDIA, because at that point seemed that nVIDIA unreachably moved away. ...

When hard drive manufactures move to platters with higher storage densities, it is a good thing all around. The higher the storage density for the platters, the fewer platters are needed to reach the same capacity compared to lower density platters.
Factory overclocked graphics cards are not novelty anymore. It’s become more and more frequent practice that manufacturers launch parallel models with clocks determined by nVidia or ATI, and models with (more or less) raised clocks. It happens very often that factory overclocked graphics card reach maximum clock at lower value than “default” card would. So, that whole situation starts being not so interesting. But, things are never bad as they seem, and Sparkle Calibre 9600GT breaks the monotony.
High-capacity solid state drives are picking up steam. After Super Talent's first stab at a 256GB SSD in March, Samsung has unveiled a much faster model based on multi-level cell flash technology. Samsung claims its new SSD can hit 200MB/s during sequential reads and 160MB/s during sequential writes, all through a 300MB/s Serial ATA interface. That's 2-3 times faster than both conventional hard drives and Super Talent's SSD.
Multimedia computers are definitely the future of modern home systems and it’s quite logical when users attach significance to devices that will go hand in hand with them. One of these devices fell into our hands. We are talking about Logitech diNovo Mini which unites mouse and keyboard and it’s adapted for using it from your sofa. Logitech was lead with idea of keeping diNovo Mini in living room, and give us plenty of functions that can fulfill all our tech needs.
