ASUS' Ion-packing Eee PC 1201N gets official, gets handled (video)

Nov 20th 2009 7:34AM on Engadget

Where's the real info - what LAN, Wifi and Audio chips are used? Someone's gonna want to pop OSX on it!!

T-Mobile UK and Orange to merge, still clash

Not in the UK there isnt.. no caps.. (yet!)

Canonical bringing Ubuntu to ARM-powered devices

Isnt Nvidia's 800mhz TEGRA CPU an ARM processor? Isnt this the one that does 1080P and consumes under 1W of power?

Rock on.... The videos of TEGRA in action look rather good. Add a decent OS like Ubuntu and it can give Atom Netbooks a good run for the money. Might get Intel to get Poulsbo SCH out in the real world!

AMD to release Atom killer netbook CPUs tomorrow?

Thats cos the 945 chipset uses 10X the power of the Atom itself. If Intel were not trying to dump excess 945s on the market and used Poulsbo (SCH) then we'd see a different story and we'd see a new market for low power PCs not just netbooks.

ASUS 10.2-inch N10 netbook priced at $849

Hmm $300-$350 more than the already overpriced Eee 1000H JUST for a 9300M chipset. Seems a crappy deal to me. Much as I would like a "gaming netbook" this is just greedy and stupidly priced. Not buying this. Opportunity for a "MSI Wind Gamers Edition"

Ripple rolls out Atom-based Mini Chocolate desktop

Jul 23rd 2008 5:38PM on Engadget

I'd buy one if:

1) Its Poulsbo chipset (with HD acceleration) or failing that 945GSE but not the energy inefficient 945GC chipset - but they chose the shit chipset!!
2) It has Gigabit - anyone putting 10/100 on a machine these days should be castrated!
3) Its got a miniPCI-E slot or onboard 802.11n
4) It takes a 3.5in HDD

Anyone know any answers to Q2-4 ??

Acer Aspire One available in Europe

"Carphone Warehouse are now offering the Elonix Webbook for £229 (used to be contract only) which comes with a 1.6ghz via CPU"

Where? Not on their website. No-one seems sure whether the CPU is a C7 or an Atom which makes a difference!

iPhone 3G free* in UK with O2

Jun 10th 2008 5:23AM on Engadget Mobile

Is the 3G iPhone being sold in the same way as the 2G i.e buy in store and take home and activate via iTunes? Jailbreak it and avoid that dumb contract and get a sensible one?

CE-Oh no he didn't! Part LV: NVIDIA boss says "We're going to open a can of whoop-ass" on Intel

Apr 11th 2008 2:39AM on Engadget

Why is anyone vaguely interested in this? Sure Intel's integrated VGA is shit but Nvidia's is also shit. Just degrees of how bad they are. The only integrated VGA that can sorta cope with any kind of game is ATI's 780G (integrated 3450 VGA) and thats for AMD chips only.

AMD unveils DirectX 10-compatible 780 Series motherboard GPU

Mar 5th 2008 10:49AM on Engadget

Pity the idiots only make this chipset for AMD CPUs. If it was out for Intel CPUs they would make a lot more money!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
