Gigabyte T1125N almost could star in our section of guess the pileup without the need to take a photo of detail. The latest release of Gigabyte is a really interesting concept that combines the functions of a laptop, a desktop and a tablet, everything included in the same pack of sale through various accessories.

Gigabyte calls his concept: Booktop and inside we find a very complete configuration that includes processor Intel Core i5, Nvidia Geforce Graphics, multi-touch capacitive screen and USB 3.0. Let's try to deconstruct the T1125N so that we are more clear their possibilities, which are not few.

As you can see, the second image of the Gigabyte t1125n stop more clear to what type of device are. The heart of the system is a portable convertible very apañadas characteristics.

Let's start with your display, a LCD-LED 11.6 inch with 1366 × 768 resolution. The screen is capable of rotating on itself for, to reduce it, the T1125N become a kind of tablet. The screen is multi-touch and capacitive and his response is quite nimble and precise. An accelerometer allows us to use it vertically or horizontally or lock the system in the position you want.

Inside, the Gigabyte t1125n hides a processor Intel Core i5 470UM to 1. 33 GHz with possibility to overclock to 1. 86Ghz. Accompany it with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM and two graphics cards, on the one hand an Intel HD integrated in plate to not consume much on mundane tasks, and a nvidia geforce 310 M with 512 MB of DDR2 memory for heavy tasks on the other.

The hard drive is a SATA 500 GB 5. 400rpm that, for our taste, we would have changed by an SSD, but that provides acceptable performance. In General, the Gigabyte t1125n gives what is expected of a laptop with your configuration. Its major drawback is perhaps the brightness of the screen, something problematic in highly lit environments, and a slightly excessive thickness for a 11-inch (290 × 220.7 × 27.86 / 40 mm). The weight is not detailed, but will be around around the two kilos.

One of the best sections of the device are its connections, complete no more power. The laptop has a USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA Combo-USB, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, card reader for SD / MMC / MS and MSPro, takes headphones and micro, and a specific port for the dock that accompanies it.

The duration of the battery, the Gigabyte t1125n integrates a six cell battery that, according to Gigabyte pays 6.5 hours of autonomy. The other features of the laptop through WiFi N, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR and an integrated webcam of 1.3 megapixel camera.

The miracle of the metamorphosis of the Gigabyte t1125n is produced through a specific dock that fit two components. The first is the own laptop, and the second is a multi-card external DVD of which we'll talk about now.

Dock rotates on itself 90 degrees, which allows you to turn the set into a kind of all-in-one, or leave the screen vertically for use as a desktop touch screen terminal. One of the best points of this accessory is the connectivity. The back includes practically all the ports we've seen on the laptop. It is also possible to use the dock and the laptop simultaneously port. Very good point.

Connection of the laptop to the dock is made through a specific port for charging and data and the truth is that it fits quite safely and comfortable.

Next to the slot to place the laptop, the dock incorporates a second slot to place an external DVD drive that is also included in the sales package. This multi-card can also be used independently with dual USB connection. Cables are stored in the reader's own base.

Altogether, the Gigabyte t1125n is a very powerful and very versatile. Gigabyte, obviously does not sell it as a tablet, but as a laptop can offer an extra functionality for demanding users. The device is a professional market-oriented, but can get in stores without problem. It goes on sale on 15 may at a price of EUR 1,008. We will be awaiting your arrival for more exhaustive testing.

The worst point of the Gigabyte t1125n perhaps fairly standard design, materials, which should have been carefully taking into account its portable professional vocation. Moreover, it is an option with many opportunities for a specific group of users.

First details of the prototype Windows Phone 7, Nokia W7, W8

Mobile Kote on April 14, 2011 | 11: 13 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

On the basis that we are dealing with something not confirmed, I would like to bring out a couple of names: Nokia W7 and W8. Apparently they are designations which is known as the first prototypes with Windows Phone 7 operating system that works the Finnish company.

The use of the letter W appears logical, and the number behind the letter complies with the name you are using Nokia people in all their phones. But we also have some details hardware prototypes that might interest you:

Nokia W7, outwardly very similar to what we see in the newly introduced Nokia X 7, but with a Windows Phone 7, which does not present any kind of personalizaciónLo same occurs with the W8 Nokia, but in this case would be a variant of the Nokia N8.

Dislike people in even though it is still early to determine that these prototypes will become a real model, not me their none of the base designs, what does have to be clear is that until 2012 them we will be.

A very interesting track with regard to the internal hardware is that it would use chipsets by Qualcomm (QSD8250), understand that it is the fastest way to conform to the specification of requirements imposed by Microsoft.

Funny that after years of poor relations and courts between Nokia and chip designer end up working together. Somehow this news away from the idea of ST Ericsson motorizara the new Windows Phone 7 of Nokia.

The W7 Nokia is currently using for internal development, but is the largest painting has become a real phone. With regard to the Nokia X 7, wins a WVGA screen necessary in Windows Phone 7, which is not made by Samsung, nor is it a panel AMOLED, yet we are told that the quality is very good.

Also differs with the X 7 in the House, with 8 megapixel camera and auto focus (imposition of Microsoft), as well as flash, and it is that we remind you that the new Nokia bet on EDoF.

Turning to the nokia w8, things are less clear, but it would be a most important phone which could dare with something more modern of Qualcomm. What does seem certain is that the excellent camera of the Nokia N8 would be inherited, making it a factor of important purchase for many customers.

Whether we like them more or less what you tell us about these two prototypes, I think that there will be no problem to find one to draw attention to, because it is expected that Nokia launch orna dozen phones in 2012 with the operating system of Microsoft. Among them are versions of the successful class E, and affordable phones with Microsoft's operating system.

Going back to Windows Phone 7, yesterday I discovered the news that Microsoft provided developers with a view to the next "major" update, called Mango, and some call Windows Phone 7.5.

We highlight the increased integration of third-party applications in the system, allowing use multitasking, more control and development on the tiles dynamics, and full access to the camera and sensors. Important applications such as Skype or Layar are coming to the system, the augmented reality is one of the points where Microsoft wants to work more.

These developments will be available in the development tools in the month of may, and in the face of users, ending the year, with some luck in the autumn.

Packard Bell Maestro 230 HD LED. First impressions

Screens Txaumes on April 16, 2011 | 21: 38 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

Last Thursday we attended the event in which Packard Bell taught us its novelties for 2011. Among a sea of laptops and the new tablet of the company that did not let us turn on because still had not installed Honeycomb, we find an old acquaintance, the Packard Bell Maestro 230 LED HD monitor.

Although the lighting for the event was not too given to photograph a gadget but more like to dance something of the Bee Gees, we wanted to put a couple of tests to this monitor. The results are not bad, especially considering that it has a very affordable price.

The first thing we moríamos of wanting to try was, how not, support. The first images indicated an asymmetric foot so fine that it risked end up defeating his own weight. The reality, afortunádamente, is that the structure appears quite resistant splitting or just gave our hidden attempts to do so to bad milk.

The foot is metallic and is made on a single piece which appears to have continuity at the rear of the monitor and the interior of the support. That and his form at an angle gives greater stability of which appears in the photos. As a curiosity, the support elbow is a slot that serves for power and data cables while they hang antiestéticamente behind the screen. This provision, curiously, was not used by the guys from Packard Bell to display it. The rush things.

At the level of connections, packard bell Maestro 230 led hd is Spartan. HDMI, VGA and DVI are their unique credentials, although they are more than enough for most users.

The image quality of the monitor is very decent and we especially liked its angle of view, which does not lose brightness or distorts the colors for very escorados that we observe. Another issue is the response time. Packard Bell has established it in 5 milliseconds and the truth is that it is not the fastest we've seen. For testing we take a trailer in high definition passing by. The result, in light and color, is good, but do note a certain lack of sharpness in the moments in which the good of Jason ran as a desperate in front of giant Scorpions.

We can further deduce without additional testing. The contrast and brightness are complicated to judge at a local with more lasers than an imperial destroyer class alpha. At least, we've stayed quiet about his physical stability and our view is that it can be a good choice, regarding money, to do with a 23-inch LED monitor.

Japanese scientists developed the first hologram with stable colours

Other Txaumes on April 8, 2011 | 11: 05 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

It is a bit distressing to see how holographic technology is still resolving such basic problems that we fear that it will take many, many years before we see holographic applications for the domestic market.

The last great small border have broken the Japanese scientists to gain the first hologram with stable colours. The traditional 1900–1971 are unable to maintain a uniform color. In other words, their colors change depending on the angle of view. The team of Professor satoshi kawata, the Department of applied physics of the University of Osaka, has managed to stabilize the color using the so-called 'surface Plasmon'.

The surface Plasmon are free electrons (not associated with any atom) which move in the tiny space of a few nanometers on surfaces such as metal. Each of these particles emitted at a frequency that determines its color.

Kawata team has scanned by laser image (an Apple) and it has overlapped several photosensitive layers that, by means of a halogen light, are able to excite electrons in an independent way to project the scanned image.

The result is a small little Apple floating on the metal plate. Interestingly, Kawata has not developed this technology thinking in commercial applications, but simply to demonstrate that it was possible. That Yes, when have they been discussed has not disgusted the possibility of further developed the idea to see what happens.

Before the us to jump at the prospect of asking with a phone as used by Palpatine, has to be said that the technology of surface Plasmon produces very small and static images, that Yes, in full color. This does not mean that more than one would give a heart if Apple will release an iPhone which the everlasting Apple logo is projected floating two inches from your phone. Again, the holography resolves a small problem. Let us hope that, even small cup to Cup, we can lead the surprise in a few years.

BlackBerry Bold Touch, are the first pictures and impressions

Mobile Kote on April 8, 2011 | 11: 42 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

A few days ago were broadcast by the network a few tutorials that taught us how worked the touch interface of the new blackberry bold touch (also known as Dakota/Montana/9930), first handset to the RIM in combining the QWERTY keyboard of a Bold family, with touch screen.

But what we could see in the videos were firing recreations, and never the real terminal, that has appeared today in images, accompanied by first impressions we used to get an idea of the new features that come with this renewal:

Advance us on the touch screen has very good response, an important detail taking into account that we have a screen of 2.8 inches. Highlight a fairly high resolution for its size, 640 × 480 pixels.The possibility of creating WiFi access points in BlackBerry OS 6.1:

The keyboard is presented with the good characteristics that they guarantee in previous models, functional and spacious, while the quality of construction of the equipment is very good, as it is to be expected in the family Bold.Su released globally could be between the months of June and July. Apparently the battery is different to what RIM we are accustomed (possibly to support the arrival of a touch screen), do not give more details on it. As you can see in the image below (along with iPhone 4), the thickness seems to be quite achieved:

Previous leaks again bring out the new specifications, highlighting a new 1.2GHz processor, 768 MB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory (expandable via microSD), 5 megapixel camera with video recording in high definition, and support NFC.

I do not think that there are many more leaks from here that it is presented, we believe that it will officially appear before the media in the next blackberry world, at the beginning of May.

Do enough news to draw the attention of those who are marching to iOS and Android?, my envelope paper seem it, but before further conclusions, I would like to see as much as can be the experience of use of BlackBerry OS 6.1. Go perhaps being the time that QNX goal hand in the system of Canadian Smartphones.

Update, the new BlackBerry Torch 2 also gives the face.

Peripherals Javier Penalva on April 1, 2011 | 14: 19 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

I believe that I never tire of saying that the two key elements for someone who works with computers is to have an excellent mouse and the best screen we can afford. The health of our eyes and hand depends on it.

The Logitech M325 plays just the chord of those who seek comfort, but without sacrificing accuracy thanks mainly to its fast scroll wheel marks the House which also serves for forward and back in the daily task of web browsing.

With its contoured shape and rubber coating we ensure comfort in everyday use, and for the issue of communication with your computer or battery not we should worry. Autonomy of 6 months and the microreceptor of 2.4 Ghz are already a guarantee of Logitech.

The new Logitech M325 goes on sale this month with a price of 30 euros.

First data of the AMD Bulldozer of 8 cores: new AMD FX-Series

Components of PC WhisKiTo 14 March 2011 | 11: 20 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

It seems that we begin to know already the first details of new AMD microprocessors, which so far have called Zambezi or Bulldozer, because these are the microarchitecture and the processor code names throughout its development.

Today we already know the names and characteristics of the four early models will go on sale over the next few weeks. Will be sold under the amd fx-Seriesproduct family, traditionally its range of products-high-end for the household sector, and as expected his new more powerful models. The main features we speak of 8, 6 or 4 cores, 32 nanometers, DDR3 dual-channel (Dual Channel) and under the new socket AM3 +.

I leave you with the list of new models and the number of cores. Certain specs are still unknown as the frequency of clock or outside on the way to Turbo Core, data which surely will be confirmed once submitted:

All models are black edition, that is, it is unlocked so that the user can overclockearlos at will.

We had already spoken earlier and everything points to that eventually end up being so. AMD Bulldozer will be equal to the current Intel Core i7 'Sandy Bridge', and in fact some media point to be more powerful than the pointer model of Intel, the 2600K.

We are talking about a comparison between more pointer AMD with a high-end Intel, since the Sandy Bridge are after that. We already know that Intel is voracious in their range high-end, being the most clear example the latest 990 X.

In fact it seems that from that AMD has the most powerful of the market processor - assume that it will be the AMD FX-8130P - it will be short, and will be held by Intel. The new generation of Intel Core enthusiasts are expected in autumn under the code name of Sandy Bridge EP, and it seems that AMD will have to surrender to his feet, at least in terms of brute power.

One of the features that most are missing in AMD had stagnated in the 45-nanometer manufacturing process, while the competition - Intel - had already passed that stage and even her had improved. Intel introduced the 45 nm. in 2008 and he made the leap to the 32 just over a year ago, with the first Core i3.

It was inevitable that AMD evolutioned here sooner or later, and the AMD FX-Series will be the first to 32 nanometers. Just over a year of delay because Intel is usually the company that innovates and AMD which follows the path marked by one. User-level manufacturing process usually have a certain impact, but is generally given little importance and is not an aspect to be taken into account, at least for majority.

amd fx-Series will not be like the current Phenom II, with a top price around 250 euros. The new models will be a range still superior to the high-end of the 1100T and company.

We'll see how it manages AMD to compete against the 2600K, whose price is around 280 euros. They have to give adjustments which we hope will be beneficial for the consumer. Just as likely that many older models Phenom II, should be withdrawn as their current prices would go into dispute directly with the new models. If AMD maintains the Phenom II and raises the price of the new Bulldozer FX then Intel would offer more competitive figures. And we all know that traditionally it has not happened.

First of all I have to remind you that nothing of this is official, but it does have views be real because the data are repeated over and over again, unchanged. In recent years we have experienced this situation many times, and finally after the presentation the rumors were confirmed.

Two dates are shuffled on the release date . On the one hand said that in the summer, but after the incident from Intel with the theme of the P67 and the SATA began to say that the release will hasten. To when? Therefore nor is known with absolute certainty. My personal opinion is that it brought forward little or nothing, and on June or July will present them.

Bonus: following the catalogue of Bulldozer that we are riding will tell you that the picture accompanying this post is a Caterpillar D9 property of the army Israeli and so-called IDF Caterpillar D9. To see if Intel is encouraged and puts a funny name to some of its developments and so we learn something new.
