Updates to Look Forward to in Gateway’s ID and NV Laptops

With the increasing number of new models of laptops being introduced today in the market, all the more that laptop manufacturers should continue to innovate their product lines in order to cope up to these changes. Acer, for one, has already had its day or two unveiling back-to-school laptops. Of course, they have seen the need of students to have new gadgets, so they launched them just in time. But their sister brand Gateway does not want to take the back seat either. They may not have new product line but they certainly have something more exciting in store and that is by updating their ID and NV laptops.

So what’s new for these Gateway laptops? Well both the 15.6-inch NV series and the 14-inch ID47 will now include USB 3.0 and a choice of Sandy Bridge processors. But for the entry-level NV, it has now an option for one of AMD’s fresh-off-the-line Llano chips. So if you are looking forward to having this entry-level, you can opt for this newest feature.

But the updates don’t end there. Gateway did more than just give its notebooks more exciting specs – it also made some tweaks to their product line-ups’ designs. For the NV series, there’s now an added chiclet keyboard while for the ID series, the metal-clad trackpad was made 20% larger and no longer glows like a mood ring. Also, the ID47 now features a 14-inch display that is crammed into a chassis which is often paired with 13.3 panels and this for sure will excite you even more – a non-removable battery that lasts up to 8 hours. So, how cool is that?

Gateway indeed had done a great work on their ID and NV laptops. Want to see more from this brand? Here check out these Gateway NV laptops and other products!

Break Opponents and Break Records with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M GPU

If you want to see the fastest cars with record-breaking land speeds you go to the German autobahn or Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats. If you want the fastest mobile graphics processing unit you go to NVIDIA. NVIDIA once again claimed the title of the fastest in the realm with their new GeForce GTX580M notebook graphics processing unit. And guess who got their hands first on the cookie jar? Alienware. Yes, Alienware will be using the new GeForce GTX580M on their latest M18x and M17x gaming notebooks making them also one of the fastest notebooks on the market.

If the title fastest doesn’t come through enough, how about twice as fastest (if there’s ever such a thing) for the Alienware M18x can be further configured to run not on one but two GTX580Ms using NVDIA SLI technology – a pretty wicked set-up that can easily crunch, grind, and trample over even the most demanding games with impunity. The Alienware M17x on the other hand may not have the dual firepower of its sibling but it has the upper hand on battery endurance thanks to its integrated NVIDIA Optimus technology. The M17x features a superb battery life that can last up to 5 hours and can frame rates that can seamlessly play 100 fps on Call of Duty: Black Ops. By harnessing the raw pulsating power of latest GeForce GTX GPUs, the next generation Alienware M18x and M17x are now the fastest and one of the most energy efficient Microsoft DirectX 11 gaming notebooks on the planet.

With the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX580M on their systems, gamers are further rewarded with full 1080p high-definition screen resolution, 3D capabilities, realistic in-game physics, NVIDIA CUDA architecture support, constant improvements, and reliable performance.

ASUS-Lamborghini Eee PC VX6 – Super Car Minus the Wheels

You can now own a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster for just £499 or $798. The tag price is no typo error but you won’t be riding this luxury roadster anytime soon – ASUS in their continuous partnership with Lamborghini just launched a Murcielago speedster inspired notebook, the ASUS-Lamborghini Eee PC VX6.

The exterior is detailed with smooth lines, seamless curves and a glossy black or white finish adorned with the familiar golden bull Lamborghini crest on the lid. Instead of an engine, the ASUS-Lamborghini Eee PC VX6 ultraportable 12.1-inch notebook is powered by the latest generation Dual Core Intel Atom D525 processor that features two Hyper-Threading technology enabled cores clocked at 1.8 GHz. It has a total of four parallel processing threads that boost performance of multi-threaded applications and dramatically increase the response times of even the most resource hungry tasks. The GPU on the other hand is none other than NVIDIA Ion 2 which delivers smooth and awe-inspiring graphics that’s up to 60% faster than the previous generation NVIDIA Ion.

If you like how the Murcielago’s engine and exhaust roars as it cruise the streets, then you’ll definitely fall for Eee PC VX6’s Bang and Olufsen Icepower and SRS Premium surround sound speakers that promise a rich and immersive audio experience. Forget pit stop, the Lamborghini Eee PC VX6 can run straight for 6 hours on pure battery power thanks to its integrated NVIDIA Optimus technology that automatically balances graphics performance and power consumption depending on the applications being used. Other features include USB 3.0 interface, Bluetooth 3.0 and a dual bootable Express Gate system.

MSI FX600MX Notebook – Something Naughty and Nice

With the ever increasing petroleum and gas cost, it’s no wonder people are clamoring for more fuel efficient cars and even hybrids. Electricity doesn’t come cheap but computer geeks need not fret for MSI already unveiled their new FX600MX notebook. This new notebook features an energy efficient 15.6-inch High Definition LED backlit screen optimized to a cinema-class 16:9 aspect ratio and a powerful Intel i5 or i3 processor. It also has two GPU; one is a low-power integrated graphics chip that’s pretty much useful for performing day to day general word processing tasks or surfing the web and a considerably beefier 512MB nVidia GeForce 310M discrete GPU that kicks in when the FX600MX is hard pressed with graphics intensive applications like an afterwork LAN party. Thanks to MSI’s exclusive GPU Boost technology, the GPU switch is done automatically whenever the system needs the extra processing power. To take advantage of GeForce 310M’s power, MSI incorporated its own Cinema Pro technology to the FX600MX to deliver higher resolution and richer colors to your movies with just a touch of the Cinema Pro hotkey.

MSI didn’t slack off on the FX600MX’s craftmanship either, it’s protected by a jet black casing reinforced by a scratch and smudge resistant non-peeling raised totem seal coating. To add a dash of class, it also comes with an MSI glowing platinum logo, a soft raised diamond coated wrist rest, a chrome encircled power button with beautiful cold luminescent blue lights, platinum trimmed speakers and body, solid chic keyboard, raised multipoint touchpad and a hotkey zone with a brush metal finish.
