Asustek Computer and Intel Corporation the major chipset manufacturer have paneled up with electronics trader Tsann Kuen Enterprise to endorse PC refurbishing in Taiwan, the companies revealed on Tuesday. People who bring an old unit in for recycling at any of Tsann Kuen’s wide spread network of 172 chain stores in Taiwan will be given an NT$2,000 (an equivalent of US$66) gift voucher good towards a novel Asustek PC equipped with an Intel dual-core microprocessor. “We’re practicing this to endorse computer recycling,” expressed Jerry Yen, general manager of Tsann Kuen. “It’s our approach to do a bit for Earth Day,” he added.

The world witnessed the first company to promote with the new DDR3 memory, to be utilized in notebooks, way before the official release of the Centrino 2 platform. Crucial, possessed by Lexar Media, has introduced that their company is all set to ship the all new Crucial DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) 204-pin SODIMMs. The new DDR3-1066 module captures with the whole enhanced performance, reduced power utilization and produce less heat when compared to the equivalent variant DDR2 modules. Crucial’s DDR3 PC-8500 SODIMMs are obtainable now in 1GB and 2GB capacities. The stipulate for DDR3 memory in the notebook market will amplify appreciably after the availability of notebooks themed on the Centrino 2 platform that is presently expected to be beginning from June-July period.

Portable and futuristically designed 3D mouse for notebook users especially for on-the-go 3d productivity:

3Dconnexion, a fully owned contributory of Logitech, has launched the public liberate of its futuristic award-winning 3D mouse product variants known as the Space-Navigator for laptops. The ground-breaking new mouse is deliberated for on-the-go 3D enthusiasts and professionals.

It facilitates an accurate, rich haul of 3D occurrence in a compacted, mobile blueprint that’s only half the mass of its desktop equivalent. The Space-Navigator for laptops renders the similar advantages as the original Space-Navigator with the unproblematic association and control within the 3D workspaces but it also comprises a new cap blueprint for more responsive and natural communications within 3D applications. Deliberated to endure the wear and tear of frequent travel, the Space-Navigator for laptops effortlessly glides into a notebook container and comes with a opportune travel case for effortless transfer. Its petite footstep makes the gadget easy to utilize everywhere be it at home, work place, or even at some remote localities.

Unlike the conventional mouse that is confined to movements on a flat plane, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mouse allows graceful association and direct within 3D workspaces. Tenderly raise, depress and twist the organize cap to fly right through and onto the 3D space while concurrently rocketing and rotating the inspection with fluid and highly perceptive control. An increase in stress accelerates proposition, while a dwindle in stress slows motion for accurate micro-modifications.

Take notice of that? That’s the sound of titter-tattering of little hearts rupturing within the supervisory board rooms of FIC, ASUS, Acer, and HP included among others. This subsequent to a Compal Electronics executive revealed that Dell charts to release an 8.9-inch wide-screen notebook for less than $499. Taiwan’s Compal would of course move on to accumulate the goods. The new-fangled ultra portable is anticipated “as early as June” at the very same time that Intel’s Atom processors will be released, inadvertently.

The whole info line of things is now ostensibly corroborated by Michael Dell himself. When inquired yesterday about the all new HP Mini-Note, Dell countered, “We will initiate an analogous notebook.” He then mocked with, “Stay focused, we will have some appealing products coming up in that legroom over the next 2 quarters”.

Just launched, we got the newly designed Linksys N Router. Some of the specs on this baby are as follows:

• Internet-sharing Router and 4-port Switch, with a built in speed and range augmented Wireless Access Point
• MIMO technology uses various radios to create a robust signal that travels farther and diminishes dead spots
• Much faster than Wireless-G, but also works grand with Wireless-G and -B devices
• Wireless signals guarded by wireless encryption, and your network guarded from Internet attacks by a powerful SPI firewall

The Access Point built into the Router utilizes the very hottest wireless networking technology: Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By superimposing the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N’s “Multiple In, Multiple Out” (MIMO) technology multiplies the effectual data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are bewildered by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce “dead spots” in the wireless exposure area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much beyond than standard Wireless-G. With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed benefit you get. It works grand with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment.
