Intel: Netbooks not good for multitasking, creating or HD videos

Continue reading..



Intel: " Can I replace my aging laptop with a netbook?

No. A netbook doesn't have the processing power and functionality you'd need to run many of the applications your current laptop supports, even if it's a few years old. The good news is that today's laptops offer more bang for the buck than ever before. You'll immediately reap the rewards of greater performance, quality and reliability by upgrading your system. "

... and looking at the chart, netbooks can't:

- multitask
- create or edit videos or photos
- Encode music
- Watch HD movies
- Run complex office software

Uuuuh.. I have been encoding videos while editing pictures and uploading them. Back at CeBit I edited over 40 videos and all photos on my Eee PC.. And as we know, HD plays fine on any netbook...

Netbook doesn't have the processing power and functionality ???

What do you think? Netbooks are ok for all tasks but are just smaller and less powerful than some laptops?

Wibrain M1 upped from proto to real thing

Continue reading..






Hmmm...

It looks like Wibrain will make it real..

Last time we heard it was just a concept prototype, but now Aving is reporting that it will go to production.

Specs are OK-ish, but that membrane keyboard might not be that good.. device it self could be a bit smaller too..

4.8-inch 1,024*600 touchscreen
1.33GHz Atom Z520

512MB/1GB of RAM
8GB/16GB SSD
WiFi/HSDPA/Bluetooth
touchpad
Linux or Windows XP OS.

It might stay as Korea only product but you never know..



Thanks Aving

" With Windows 7 we have enriched the Windows experience with touch, making touch a first-class way to interact with your PC alongside the mouse and keyboard. We focused on common activities and refined them thoughtfully with touch in mind. You will have the freedom of direct interaction, like being able to reach out and slowly scroll a web page then flick quickly to move through it. With new touch optimized applications from creative software developers you will be able to immerse yourself as you explore you photos, browse the globe, or go after bad guys in your favorite games.

Aigo MID XP drivers available

Click here to see more


Finally!

Yep, wifi and chipset too..

No screen brightness software... maybe some key combo adjusts it.

Starting testing now... More soon...

UPDATE:

Hmm.. " Please note: the drivers compatible only with the new model, as Agio has made some hardware modifications on the device. "

Aigo said the only difference would be SSD size on new version.... testing.. testing..

UPDATE 2: looking bad... BIOS works.. wifi doesn't seem to... testing more

UPDATE 3: I just talked with Mobilx: Wifi drivers will not work on current models and it looks like old versions will never get wifi XP drivers.. I should get info about the brightness software tomorrow..

These drivers work only on new model shipping in late April
