Netbook Toshiba based on Intel Atom N455

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

ToshibaThe network appears information about preparing the company’s Toshiba Corporation to launch a new laptop, which will be known as index NB305-10F. The netbook is quality and very proper for software performance testing and games testing. The device is based on new Intel Atom N455 processor with 1.66 GHz clock speed and has one gigabyte of RAM at a frequency of DDR3 1066 MHz. As the information given netbook is equipped with a 10.1-inch LCD (1024 x 600 pixels) and a white LED backlit screen. The portable computer comes preloaded with Windows 7 operating system Starter.  The computer is very quality and very good for business, traveling and even playing games. This is why we recommended it for software testing, games, movies and whatever you can imagine. Other characteristics of the Toshiba NB305-10F:
Integrated Intel GMA 3150 graphics;
Hard disk capacity of 250 GB;
Network Card Ethernet LAN;
Adapter for wireless networks Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n;
Bluetooth module;
Built-in 0.3 megapixel web camera;
Touch control panel technology supports Multi-Touch;
Lithium-ion battery that guarantees up to 11 hours continuous operation.
Expected, the above product is sold for a price of 350 euros. This price is very low in comparison with similar products of Intel, IBM, Sony and many more. We really liked this laptop and really think that Toshiba are giving great offer with this netbook.

Celeron Dual Core E1400

Celeron Dual Core E1400For a short time the market appears a very interesting processor – Intel Dual Core Celeron E1400. The interesting thing in it, that is a real dual-core Conroe processor running on a strong rate of 2.00GHz. Intel still uses the old names and Pentium Celeron, which we believe have been inappropriate for the segmentation of their processors. Even if given the legacy of Pentium processors and Celeron, it is this legacy of the powerful but cumbersome Pentium 4 (Willamette, Northwood, Prescott) and their analogues with truncated Celeron cache and system bus. Heritage can only be of Pentium M (Banias and Dothan), processors that were developed in Israel and who saved Intel from breathing on their neck AMD. Perhaps few people know that the Pentium M is a direct successor to the Pentium III Tualatin, Pentium M with a few amendments to be transformed into Yonah (Core Duo, Core Solo) – ie the current dual-core processors. Banias, Dothan and Yonah are words of Jewish origin, which clearly shows the origin and the relationship between processors.
There should be a clear difference between a Pentium architecture NetBurst (Pentium 4, Pentium D and derived XEON processors and Celeron) and the Pentium, resulting from the Intel P6 (Pentium Pro, Pentium III Tualatin, later and modern Pentium M Core Duo, Solo, 2 Duo, Quad). NetBurst was branded by Intel as inefficient and expensive and therefore was removed from production. After these historical notes, let us focus on this overview of the Intel Dual Core Celeron E1400. The core processor is Conroe – 512, ie the cache of the processor is reduced to 512KV (typical for Celeron).

Netbook or small laptop?

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Netbook Small LaptopHighly dependent on the benevolence of INTEL, websites reviews tactfully silent about actual performance of Intel Atom processors and the performance of Atom + i945 platforms compared with other single-core solutions to Intel. Objective of our test is to show the real performance of the Intel Atom, compared with the older and would slower Pentium M (Centrino processor). Test machines are: – DELL Inspiron Mini 9 (9-inch netbook with Intel Atom 1600MHz Hyper Threading); – IBM ThinkPad X40 (12-inch mini-laptop with LV Pentium M 1400Mhz (Dothan 2MB) processor); – IBM Thinkpad X31 (12-inch mini-laptop with a Pentium M 1400Mhz (Banias 1MB) processor); – Toshiba Portege R100 (one of the most thin and elegant 12-inch mini-notebooks with ULV Pentium M (Banias 1MB) processor). Laptops are tested with the OS – Windows XP Professional SP3. Before proceeding to the test results and analysis will make a brief overview of mobile machines. DELL Inspiron Mini9 – unlike the prototype of the Netbook from Asus, DELL mobile device is very beautiful, elegant, with an excellent display with high resolution (1024 * 600), which does not need to constantly scroll pages and images. The keyboard is quite comfortable, but obviously not up space for functional butoni.Bateriyata is quite durable (over 3 hours), which is normally a super-economical ATOM. Model has a camera that is binding attribute of the modern laptop / netbook. Mini-machine no hard disk and Solid State “HDD”, which has both advantages and disadvantages. Main drawback is the small size memory. (more…)
