The Basics

* Processor: Experience improved energy efficiency, expanded wireless connectivity, and amazing battery life with the 45nm Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 processor featuring Intel Centrino 2 technology. This processor has a 2.40 GHz processor speed, super-sized 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and a extra-large 3 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system’s performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

Formerly codenamed Montevina, Intel Centrino 2 processor technology improves upon every facet of a laptop’s main features, including performance and battery life via new processors and chipsets, faster draft 802.11n wireless, and new business-class manageability capabilities. The new hafnium-infused circuitry–which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors–conserves even more energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet.

The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It’s optimized for multitasking and it can run multiple demanding applications–such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications–while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background.

* Hard Drive: The extra-large 250 GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 RPM) provides more than enough capacity for storing a large audio and video library, as well as extra space required for video editing. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data–akin to Firewire and USB 2.0.

The G-Sensor Shock Protection feature makes your data even less vulnerable to loss or damage. When the built-in 3D acceleration sensor detects a risky movement like being dropped, the HDD-head will lock up to secure its position and protect the disc from scratching. An intelligent algorithm, unique to VAIO PCs, judges whether or not a movement is risky, activating disk drive protection only when your hardware is at risk.

* Memory: The 3 GB of installed RAM (PC3-8500, 1 x 2 GB, 2 x 1 GB) helps boost the amount of available video RAM that’s shared with this notebook’s video card. It also offers a top-of-class 1066 MHz speed. This notebook has a 4 GB maximum RAM capacity (2 x 2 GB). To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.

* DVD/CD Drive: The dual-layer DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats, including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data–great for backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It features the following speeds: 4x for DVD±R DL, 8x for both single layer DVD±R, 8x for single layer DVD+RW, 6x for single layer DVD-RW, 5x for DVD-RAM, and 24x/16x for CD-R/RW. It reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.

* Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 82-key keyboard (2mm stroke and 19.05mm pitch) and electro-static two-button touchpad.

Screen, Video & Audio
The 13.1-inch XBRITE-DuraView LCD has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels–perfect for added screen real estate as well as watching movies in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Sony’s DuraView LCD technology utilizes a special hard coating on the LCD to help defend against scratching and general wear and tear. It also has an LED backlight, which provides lower power consumption for improved battery life as well as incredibly high brightness levels that amplify the color display.

This VAIO VGN-Z550N/B uses Sony’s exclusive Hybrid Graphics System, which lets you set your graphics performance with a simple flick of a switch, enabling you to toggle between an internal graphics chip for optimal power consumption with excellent performance or an external graphics chip for even more robust performance. You can choose either the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD (with up to 1300 MB of dynamically allocated video memory) or the installed Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS graphics card (with up to 1370 MB of shared video RAM). This notebook also has an integrated Intel High Definition audio card.

Enabled by PureVideo HD, the Nvidia GeForce 9300M helps movies come to life with outstanding picture clarity, ultra-smooth video and vivid color. The lifelike images have up to six times the detail of standard DVD movies. Delivering state-of-the-art graphics performance, GeForce 9300M GS graphics card is sure to give you the power and performance you crave to play the hottest DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 titles.

This Intel GMA 4500MHD is built with Intel Clear Video technology, which delivers clearer, more detailed images by eliminating many of the jagged edges and video artifacts seen when viewing interlaced content and features powerful color control to ensure videos are not too dark, overly bright, or washed out.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
Go beyond LAN networks and find the internet virtually anywhere with integrated Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) technology via optional Sprint Mobile Broadband EV-DO service (software included, subscription required)–helping you to keep connected without having to hunt for a Wi-Fi coffee shop. Sony’s SmartWi technology seamlessly integrates your wireless Wide Area Network (WAN), office/home Wi-Fi LAN, and Bluetooth options, enabling you to toggle among your wireless connectivity options depending on your surroundings.

Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with the integrated Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 5100AGN LAN chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It’s also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range–great for closed office environments). You also get super-fast wired connectivity, with a Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000).

With the Bluetooth connectivity, you can communicate and synchronize with Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as PDAs and cell phones as well as enjoy wireless stereo music streaming (thanks to its embedded A2DP profile). This notebook also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 34 card slot (though no PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. Here’s the full list of connectivity options:

The Futura Laptop Desk is stylish with its fashion-forward design and is extremely efficient at reducing the heat build-up in your notebook but it also improves your body ergonomics. Imagine a product that’s not only good for you but good for your notebook as well. Would that be worth to you?

In addition to the above, the Futura Laptop Desk is a dual-purpose product. It’s a portable lap desk that completely spans your lap at 21” long and it’s an ergonomic typing stand that inclines your notebook’s keyboard in quarter inch increments from 2-1/2” up to 3-3/4” for a total of five incline positions.

With the Futura unfolded on your lap, the 21” long lap span allows your legs to relax naturally instead of having to squeeze them together to support your notebook. It has no-slip rubber pads on the top and bottom to grip your clothes and the notebook. These gripping rubber pads create a safe and secure platform on your lap.

An additional benefit of our Laptop Desk is that they act as a barrier between the heat source of your notebook and your lap. Most of you have heard the stories of people suffering burns from overheated notebooks. Our lap desks prevent the heat from attacking your lap and make working on your lap more of a pleasure than a discomfort.

With the Futura folded in half into one of the five incline positions, your typing posture becomes less stressful because your body is relaxed normally and you can work longer and be more productive.

On you lap or on your desktop, the 1/8” tall rubber pads create a convection cell under your notebook that allows hot air radiating from the bottom of your notebook to escape quickly and easily. The ventilation slots designed into the Futura allows cool air to rush in and cool your notebook. A team of engineering professors from California Polytechnic University, Pomona, California, concluded that the Futura reduces the heat build-up in notebooks by an average of 15% to 20%.

The Futura Laptop Desk is made form High Impact ABS plastic and with its set of heavy duty flexing hinges will last a very long time. The Futuras color is gun metal gray and opened flat measures 21” long by 11” wide by 3/8” thick. Folded in half the Futura measures 11” by 10-3/4” by 1/2” thick and weighs 1 lb 3 oz. or a total of 19 ounces.

Small enough to snuggle comfortably inside a coat or even a suit pocket, the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini (250GB) ($129.99 direct) has received a nice capacity boost (from 160 to 250GB) over last year’s Editors’ Choice model. Suitable for transporting and syncing data between multiple machines (laptop and home PC, or home and work PC), the OneTouch 4 Mini stands out from rivals like the Toshiba HDDR320E03X and the Western Digital My Passport Elite, thanks to a design that lets it be used for either data backup or disaster recovery. Although its disaster-recovery is only for Windows XP or Vista users with NTFS-formatted drives, the OneTouch 4 Mini is one of the best portable drives available, and it once again earns our Editors’ Choice.

The OneTouch 4 Mini is relatively small, measuring 0.6 by 4.9 by 3.2 inches (HWD). Its brushed-aluminum top, thick plastic sides, and rubberized bottom convey a sense of security, and the backlit OneTouch button doesn’t protrude too far from the drive. I prefer the OneTouch 4 Mini’s sturdier appearance to the aesthetics of the Western Digital Passport Elite. Packed with Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini is a Y-shaped USB cable. One of the USB ports is strictly dedicated to powering the drive, with the other for data transfer. I needed to use both while running the OneTouch 4 Mini with the Sony VAIO VGC-LT29U and our test bed.

Maxtor’s backup software is installed on the drive itself. Maxtor OneTouch utility’s simple, clean interface gives you the option to back up an entire drive (or specific folders) and the ability to sync between two PCs, as long as they’re running the same OS. Those (like me) who use multiple operating systems will be disappointed to find that you can’t sync between a computer that runs Windows Vista and one with XP. Maxtor DrivePass features a powerful AES 256-bit encryption and will create a password-protected folder to store files. When the drive is attached to another computer, DrivePass will restrict data access to it.

The SafetyDrill utility, which creates an image of your PC’s drive and backs it up to the OneTouch 4 Mini, is still limited to NTFS drives, leaving FAT32 users in the cold. (This affects primarily Windows users whose machines are more than a few years old.) Mac users also can’t use SafetyDrill. They’re left with the OneTouch 4’s data-only backup option; Leopard users won’t need SafetyDrill anyway because they’ll be fine with Time Capsule.

The OneTouch 4 Mini 250GB is a speedy little drive. It took a brisk 49 seconds to back up our 1.22GB test folder using a drag-and-drop technique, and 50 seconds to back up using the OneTouch utility. Despite the increase in rpm, these times are nearly identical to those of the previous OneTouch 4 Mini, yet they’re still impressive. The drive also scored very well on the PC Mark05 test (which determines the overall input/output efficiency), posting a score of 3,050. The latest USB 2.0 pocket drives have tested in the 2,600 to 3,200 range.

Overall, the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini—also available in a 320GB version for $179.99 (direct)—stacks up favorably against its rivals. Its data backup utilities work with both PCs and Macs, which can’t be said for the Western Digital My Passport Elite. The Toshiba HDDR320E03X doesn’t provide comparable image creation or backup capabilities. The 250GB Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini costs about $20 less than competing drives with the same capacity yet has a more robust software package. Even though PC users are the only beneficiaries of its disaster-recovery utility, the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini remains the hard drive to beat.

The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power–less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor–for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom N270 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).

Storage
This version of the Aspire One comes with a 160 GB hard disk drive (5400 RPM), which offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data–akin to Firewire and USB 2.0.

Memory
The 1 GB of installed RAM (512 MB onboard memory and one 512 MB DIMM, 533 MHz) can be expanded to a maximum of 1.5 GB of RAM,

DVD/CD Drive
Because of its size, the Aspire One does not come with an integrated optical drive, but optional CD/DVD read/write drives can be connected to the laptop via one of the three USB ports, enabling you to create your music mixes, burn movies to DVD, and more.

Connectivity
This Acer Aspire One notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN (Acer InviLink) that’s compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g networks and offers Acer’s SignalUp technology for enhanced antenna efficiency. This notbook provides the following connections:

• 3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals–from digital cameras to MP3 players
• Secure Digital (SD) card reader, also compatible with MultiMedia cards (MMCs)
• Multi-in-one card reader supports SD, MMC, Memory Stick/Memory Stick PRO, and XD Picture Cards
• 1 VGA monitor port
• 1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack
• RJ-45 port for 10/100 Fast Ethernet connection
• 6K modem port (V.90)

Screen, Video and Audio
The 8.9-inch screen has a WSVGA resolution (1024 x 600) and support for up a 262K color depth. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses shared video memory with the main memory. Acer’s CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments.

This notebook includes an integrated audio card with Microsoft DirectSound compatibility, and it includes two stereo speakers.

What’s in the Box
This package contains the Acer Aspire One notebook PC (AOA150-1447; LU.S050B.133), rechargeable 6-cell lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, and operating instructions. It is backed by a limited warranty for parts and labor for one year from date of purchase.

Sony Ericsson shakes things up with its new quad-band Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman phone, introducing an innovative “shake to shuffle” feature that randomly chooses another song stored on your phone with just a flick of the wrist. This thin, slider-style phone also features a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, fast Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR connectivity with music streaming, Memory Stick Micro expansion, Web browser for viewing full Internet sites, email access, an FM radio with RDS, and EDGE data support.

AT&T Service
The Sony Ericsson W580i operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks and can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T’s EDGE network (which stands for “Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution”), with availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. This third-generation, high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go.

The phone has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing.

Phone Features
The Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman phone offers a full-function digital audio player that’s compatible with MP3 and AAC files. The front of this slider phone includes dedicated music control buttons, and it includes Sony Ericsson’s innovative “shake to shuffle” feature. With Shake control activated, press and hold the Walkman key and flick your wrist. A vibration lets you know that the track has been changed–a new song from your current playlist is randomly selected and automatically played.

With the TrackID service, you can identify any song that you can hear by just recording a snippet of sound using the microphone. After sending the file for recognition, you’ll have the name, artist and album sent to your phone. Other Walkman features include MegaBass enhancement for added depth of sound, a flight mode that lets you keep listening to tunes with the phone’s network connectivity turned off, and Disc2Phone software for easy transfer of song files between phone and PC.

Slide the W580i up to reveal its 2-megapixel camera

It provides support for PictBridge technology so you can print your photos without the need of a PC (either using USB or Bluetooth). And the W580i makes it easy to send snapped photos directly to a blog or an online photo, complete with text. This phone is also compatible with RTSP/3GPP streaming video playback

You can even take your favorite tracks to the track with the W580i, which will count your steps, your calories and monitor your running speed/distance/time with the integrated motion sensor. Your workout results are stored in your phone so you can monitor your progress.
