MSI X340-Slim 13.4-Inch Laptop

The unique feature of the X340 is its size–0.24 inches at its thinnest point, 0.79 inches at its thickest, combined with its 2.8-pound weight (with the battery)–making the X340 the world’s lightest and slimmest 13-inch notebook.

It has customizable power settings with 5 different modes–office, gaming, movies, presentation, and turbo battery–for flexibility and increased productivity based on your needs.

The MSI X340 does not include an optical drive, but optional CD/DVD read/write drives can be connected to the laptop via one of its USB ports, enabling you to create your music mixes, burn movies to DVD, and more.

Weighing just 2.8 pounds but loaded with storage space, memory and power-saving features, the MSI X340 laptop is one of the first notebooks to feature the new Intel CULV Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor, which uses 1/6th the power of a regular mobile CPU–significantly increasing performance-per-watt over previous single-core processors. It also offers a 13.4-inch HD 16:9 Theater Display LCD and an HDMI port for single-cable output of high-definition audio and video to an external HDTV or monitor.

Dell Inspiron Mini10

A larger sibling to Dell’s Inspiron Mini 9, the Inspiron Mini 10 adds keyboard comfort and even more entertainment-friendly dimensions to the Inspiron Mini family. Like the Inspiron Mini 9 and Mini 12, the Mini 10 is a compact, easy-to-carry Internet companion that’s ideal for teens, tweens, travelers and “Tweeters” to surf the Web, chat with friends (both via text and using the integrated 1.3-megapixel webcam), stream video and audiocontent, and upload on-the-go photos to blogs or social networking sites. Standard built-in Wi-Fi means quick and easy wireless internet access to hotspots in the home, on campus, in a local coffee shop, in the office or at a conference.

Super thin and ultra-portable, the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 weighs in at just 2.6 pounds.

The Inspiron Mini 10 features an intuitive Dell-developed custom home screen interface that is designed to make it easy to find what you’re looking for. Intuitive icons link directly to groups of similar applications, like games, Web and entertainment, and favorite web links for quick access. Plus, the home screen can be personalized, putting your favorites front and center.

A bright 10.1-inch display is designed to be able to present web sites without a lot of left-right scrolling, and the 92-percent full-size keyboard is large and easy to navigate. An HDMI port also allows you to connect the Mini 10 to your HDTV for large-screen, high-def viewing. Other features include a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM (533 MHz; maximum capacity), integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, three USB ports, 3-in-1 memory card reader, and up to 3 hours of battery life.

Offering a range of bright color options, the Inspiron Mini 10 is a great travel companion.

It comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system, which offers more experienced users an enhanced and innovative experience that incorporates Windows Live features like Windows Live Messenger for instant messaging and Windows Live Mail for consolidated email accounts on your desktop.

And with a multi-touch track pad, your fingers will have an easy time navigating. Plus, it’s spill resistant, so you can rest assured if accidents happen.

Display and Audio
The Inspiron Mini 10 has a 10.1-inch LCD screen (1024 x 576; WSVGA) with TrueLife high-gloss/anti-reflective technology, which features a sharp contrast finish that’s well suited to immersive 3D games and watching videos.

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Phone

Updating the look of the Curve with a sleekly styled titanium finish, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 for T-Mobile is the thinnest and lightest full-QWERTY BlackBerry smartphone yet. In addition to its stunning good looks–with titanium-colored finish accented by chrome highlights–the Curve 8900 is packed with communication and location features. The built-in Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) supports both voice and data, making it easier to stay connected to family, friends and colleagues using T-Mobile’s Unlimited HotSpot Calling service, while the built-in GPS supports location-based services including turn-by-turn navigation.

 

 

With its stunning titanium-colored finish and chrome highlights, the sleek and slender design of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone dresses it for any occasion (see larger image). Check out the Curve 8900 101 video demo.

And, of course, you’ll enjoy all the communication and connectivity features you’ve come to expect from a Blackberry phone–including email served up by the BlackBerry Internet Service and a full menu of messaging options (SMS, MMS, and IM). The handset’s advanced multimedia capabilities include a 3.2-megapixel camera with image stabilization, digital zoom, flash and the ability to record video and play video. Other features include a hot-swappable MicroSD/SDHC memory card slot (for cards up to 16 GB; 256 MB card included), Bluetooth for handsfree communication and stereo music streaming, multi-format digital audio player, unlimited any-network calling to any 5 people with a myFaves plan, and up to 5.5 hours of talk time.

 

 

Staying Connected
With BlackBerry’s push email technology, your email will find you without having to initiate a connection. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, notifying you as new email arrives. In addition to the text, you can also receive and view attachments in a wide range of popular file formats, including Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect, and Adobe PDF.

Browse the web with the integrated, full-featured browser, which quickly and efficiently displays HTML pages as well as enables you to set up RSS feeds to stay connected to up-to-the-minute news and blog posts. And keep up with your contacts using a variety of instant message (IM) networks, including the integrated Blackberry Messenger as well as downloadable clients for Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Lotus Sametime.

For corporate users, the Curve delivers all the enterprise email and messaging capabilities you’ve come to expect. It’s supported on BlackBerry Internet Service, giving you access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration within IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise environments.

Phone Features
With a refined design, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone supports both your professional and personal mobile communication needs to help you enjoy a more organized, balanced life. In addition to a sleek, stylish design, the powerful new smartphone includes a large, vivid display–the highest resolution available on a BlackBerry smartphone–as well as a 512 MHz next-generation processor for fast and responsive performance.

 

The striking 2.4-inch, 480 x 360-pixel display (65K colors) serves up crisp images, text and maps so information is easier to read, even when you’re on the go. It also includes a light-sensing feature that automatically adjusts backlighting for indoor, outdoor and dark environments. Like other Curve models, the Curve 8900 includes a trackball navigation system located on the top of the QWERTY keypad, and it features an integrated spell checker with a customizable dictionary to help maintain accuracy.

 

You can snap vivid photos as well as video clips using the 3.2-megapixel camera on the back of the Curve, which also features a 2x digital zoom, auto focus, image stabilization, and a flash. Transfer pictures and videos between your smartphone and your desktop computer easily using the USB cable that comes with the smartphone, or via Bluetooth technology.

You can also capture video clips on the go, with two resolution choices–480 x 352 pixels for saving to your PC and 176 x 144 pixels for sending via MMS messaging. In addition to recording videos, the Curve 8900 also supports mobile video streaming as well as videos saved from your PC. It’s compatible with DivX, XviD (MPEG4 Advance Simple Profile), H.263, and WMV3 formats.

Listen to your favorite music using the included stereo headset, or use an optional wireless headphone thanks to the Curve’s support for the Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP). The Curve is compatible with a wide variety of file formats (.3gp, WAV, MIDI, AMR-NB, G711u/A, GSM610, PCM, MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA9/10 Standard/Pro) and dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset.

Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 2.0 + EDR), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and file transfer. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking–surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.

With the Voice-Activated Dialing (VAD) feature, you can initiate a call just by telling the Curve who to call from your contact list–either via the integrated speakerphone or using an optional Bluetooth wireless headset. Other advanced phone features include advanced sound technology that cancels out background noise and echo, dedicated volume and mute keys, and the ability to customize the Curve with polyphonic and MP3 ringtones.

 

 

Capture high-resolution photos and videos with the 3.2-megapixel camera on the back.

The BlackBerry Browser on the Curve 8900 is designed to make on-the-go Internet browsing fast and fun–you can even start a search right from the home page. Navigate sites and zoom in on content using a trackball-controlled pointer, set bookmarks and view your history. Plus, the BlackBerry Browser works with a host of other applications to make things like online purchasing and tracking information on your favorite pages easier.

 

The easier a map is to read, the easier it is to follow. Together with BlackBerry Maps, the crisp, colorful screen of the Curve 8900 is designed to make it easier to find the location of businesses, restaurants, concert venues, parks and more by allowing you to check maps and get driving directions quickly and conveniently. When you’re connected to the network, you can even launch maps from your address book. BlackBerry Maps is also designed to help make trips easier by providing route options like fastest or shortest and displaying directions visually along with text-based turn-by-turn instructions.

Whether your instant messaging (IM) account is with Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ or Windows Live Messenger, you can bring your IM community wherever life takes you. Like the desktop versions, these programs offer features like avatars and emoticons. And, because BlackBerry applications work together, you can also start an IM chat from your address book, call or email an IM contact while chatting or even check your calendar right from a chat.

Other features include:

  • Easily synch with Microsoft Outlook: Stay in synch with your Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks in Microsoft Outlook
  • Edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files: Just download attachments and start typing. You’ll enjoy many of the same features you do on your computer–copy and paste, font size and color, even bullets and numbering and more.
  • Remote Search: If you prefer not to carry all your email on your Curve 8900 smartphone, Remote Search can be used to find emails that are still stored on your BlackBerry Enterprise Server using name, subject and other options to narrow the field.
  • BlackBerry Media Sync: Sync your desktop iTunes music files with your BlackBerry smartphone.
  • Free/Busy Lookup: View your colleagues’ calendars to see who’s available at what time right from your BlackBerry smartphone.
  • RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds support: With RSS, you don’t need to check important websites for updates, new content can be pushed to you automatically.
  • Send and receive text and picture messages (SMS and MMS)
  • Bluetooth version 2.0 + EDR with the following profiles: A2DP (stereo music streaming), AVRC (remote control), HFP (hands-free car kits), HSP (communication headsets), DUN (dial-up networking), FTP (file transfer), PBA (transfer contacts)

Vital Statistics
The Blackberry Curve 8900 weighs 3.9 ounces and measures 2.4 x 4.3 x 0.5 inches. Its 1400 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5.5 hours of talk time, and up to 360 hours (15 days) of standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies.

MSI Wind Top, MSI All-in-One PC

Add a sleek touch of style to your desktop with the elegant and powerful MSI Wind Top AE1900-01SUS all-in-one desktop PC. You’ll help reduce your desk of non-essential clutter while also enjoying its brightly colorful 18.5-inch widescreen–perfect for watching high-definition movies as well as moving between a large assortment of open windows and applications. But more than just a beautiful screen, the touchscreen-enabled Wind Top AE1900’s display allows you to simply touch the screen to access all PC functions. The Wind Top AE1900 also has a transparent frame design that adds a designer touch to your office or living room.

The Wind Top AE1900’s elegant white color and glassy frame make it a great choice for both office and living room (see larger image).

It’s powered by the next-generation 1.6 GHz Intel Atom 230 processor, which includes innovative hafnium-infused circuitry that reduces electrical current leakage in transistors to conserve energy. A power miser, the Wind Top AE1900 needs only 45 watts of power while in full operation (results may vary under conditions and settings), which saves up to 80 percent of power compared to traditional PC–providing the perfect balance between efficiency and power usage (and meeting the highest qualifications, like Energy Star 5.0). The Wind Top AE1900 is also nicely quiet, thanks to the latest cooling technology to control the noise level no more than 26 decibels, which is as quiet as a library.

The AE1900-01SUS Wind Top PC is outfitted with a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM (non-expandable), a DVD burner (with dual-layer support), 1.3-megapixel webcam with integrated microphone, 4-in-1 memory card reader, stereo speakers with SRS Premium Sound, and Microsoft Windows XP Home. It connects to your network either via ultra-fast Gigabit Ethernet or via Draft-N Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n). The Wind Top AE1900 also comes with a color-matched mouse and multimedia keyboard. It also comes with two MSI-exclusive games: MSI Chicken Shake and MSI Star Mission–both of which can be controlled by the motion of your face through the webcam.

Widescreen, High Definition Touchscreen
The MSI Wind Top AE1900’s 18.5-inch screen (1366 x 768) has a 16:9 display ratio that adds 14 percent more viewing space compared to regular 16:10 screens and shows no black bars on the top and bottom of the screen–perfect for displaying HD images and high quality movies. With a 5-millisecond response time, the display is realistic and quick with no delays, so characters remain vivid. It also offers a 160-degree viewing angle, high 1000:1 contrast ratio and 250 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, which can display detailed and colorful images even with darker or more complicated pictures.

The touchscreen makes it easy to access all of your applications, which are sorted into four categories: Work, Fun, Tool, and Web.
The MSI Easy Viewer (above left) allows you to browse, enlarge, minimize and rotate, while the SoftStylus application (above right) enables onscreen handwriting.

In addition to its high definition resolution, the Wind Top AE1900 offers touchscreen functionality that’s paired with a friendly, intuitive user interface–simply touch the screen to access all PC functions. The UI also sorts applications into four categories–Work, Fun, Tool, and Web–and you can browse all of the options via your fingertips across the screen and start programs by touching the graphic icons.

The Wind Top AE1900 also comes with two touch-optimized applications: MSI Easy Viewer and SoftStylus. The MSI Easy Viewer photo viewing software allows you to quickly browse, enlarge, minimize and rotate all of your pictures, while the SoftStylus offers easy touchscreen input via natural handwriting or a touch-enabled softkeyboard (and it supports 18 languages).

The screen is paired with two sets of 3-watt stereo speakers and the SRS Premium Sound suite of audio technologies, which provides immersive surround sound from just two speakers (or a pair of headphones), deep, rich bass, and an intuitive user interface with a variety of presets.

Power-Sipping Processor
The Intel Atom 230 processor uses a brand new 45nm (nanometer) design structure that provides a 1.6 GHz CPU speed with a 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 512 KB L2 cache–which uses just 4 watts of power. (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.) It supports Intel’s EM64T 64-bit computing architecture, which can allow the use of extended virtual and physical memory with compatible 64-bit software, as well as Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology for speedier multitasking.

More Features

  • 160 GB hard drive (7200 RPM)
  • 1 GB DDRII 533 MHz SDRAM (no memory slot; memory chip is mounted on the motherboard)
  • Integrated Intel GMA950 graphics chip with up to 228 MB of video memory shared with the system memory
  • Tray-loading DVD Super Multi drive, supports dual-layer burning
  • 1.3-megapixel webcam with integrated microphone
  • Keyboard with hot keys on keyboard to control screen brightness and function buttons for media playback and control of web browser and email
  • Windows XP Home operating system
  • Angle-adjustable foot stand
  • Dimenions: 14.37 x 18.74 x 1.93 inches

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with the integrated Draft-N Wi-Fi 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). The Wind Top AE1900 also includes a super-fast Gigabit Ethernet connection (10/100/1000) for maximum throughput from your broadband connection as well as fast transferring and backing up of files to networked hard drives. Here’s the full list of connection options:

  • 4 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals–from digital cameras to MP3 players (2 on the back, 2 on the side)
  • 1 headphone/line-out
  • 1 microphone/line-in
  • 1 RJ-45 Ethernet jack
  • 4-in-1 memory card reader (supports SD/MMC/MS/XD)
