It's a rare moment of reversal that should see owners of those two elder devices from a bygone SE-era enjoying a temporary leg up on their <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/26/live-from-sonys-mobile-world-congress-2012-press-event/">faster, better, flashier brethren</a>.

Why Sony chose to sit on this one, we have no idea, but the company just revealed that its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/30/refresh-roundup-week-of-october-24-2011/">software update</a> for the 2011 lineup of Xperia phones -- which was released <em>last</em> month -- also adds browser support for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/webgl">WebGL</a>. This means that if you're holding an Xperia Arc, Mini, Neo, Play, Ray... or any other of its most recent handsets, then there's a good chance you're wielding one of the first Android phones to support this modern graphics platform. Designed to bring advanced visuals and gaming to the web, the API holds roots in JavaScript and has been used to develop everything from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/11/angry-birds-gets-a-web-version-in-google-chrome/">Angry Birds</a> to far-out <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/12/3-dreams-of-black-is-the-trippiest-webgl-interactive-music-vid/">music videos</a>. Sony Ericsson first previewed its WebGL efforts back in February, and after all these months, its official arrival is a welcome one, indeed. For a quick demo video, be sure to hop the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/29/sonys-latest-xperia-update-brings-webgl-support-to-2011-smartph/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sony's latest Xperia update brings WebGL support to 2011 smartphone lineup (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/29/sonys-latest-xperia-update-brings-webgl-support-to-2011-smartph/">Sony's latest Xperia update brings WebGL support to 2011 smartphone lineup (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:35:00 EST.

Not every smartphone needs to be a Samsung Galaxy S II. There's plenty of room in the market for a reliable workhorse that delivers smooth productivity and media without maxing out your credit limit. The Xperia Neo aspires to precisely this grounded ambition, selling for &pound;320 ($515) off-contract in the UK (or free on contract from &pound;20 per month), versus &pound;400 ($650) for its bigger-screened sibling, the Xperia Arc. For the money, you'll get a Gingerbread handset with a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 processor, 8 megapixel camera, and a 3.7-inch (854x480) display. The Neo rides a not-so-fine line -- it can be a trusty companion at best, or a cause of daily teeth-grinding at worst. Let's find out why.<br />

Go ahead and admit it: ever since Sony Ericsson debuted the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/sony-ericsson-neo-first-hands-on/">Xperia Neo</a>, you've been concocting wild situations for exploiting the low-light imaging prowess of that 8.1 megapixel <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/exmor+r/">Exmor R sensor</a>.

When Sony Ericsson stepped out of line and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/13/sony-ericssons-android-bootloader-unlocking-site-goes-live-mod/">opened</a> its bootloader unlocking service, it provided a tacit acknowledgment that users should have the ability to use and abuse their phones however they see fit -- even if it voids the warranty. Frankly, we applaud SE's move, despite the caveat that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/17/sony-ericsson-xperia-family-portrait-at-mwc-2011/">supported</a> handsets cannot be SIM-locked to a carrier (or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/21/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-for-verizon-hands-on-video/">CDMA</a>, for that matter). Now, Sony's embracing its own movement and is teaching a free online class (of sorts) on how to build a Linux kernel and flash it to your phone. Of course, the article requires that you get comfy with the command line, but whether you're an Android developer, a casual enthusiast, or a curious observer, this tutorial is worth reading and learning from. Welcome to <em>Computer Lib</em> for the handset generation -- where you can and must understand smartphones now.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/sony-ericsson-teaches-course-on-building-custom-linux-kernels-a/">Sony Ericsson teaches course on building custom Linux kernels, admission is free</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 10 May 2011 23:24:00 EST.

As <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/29/sony-ericsson-will-let-you-unlock-bootloader-on-new-xperia-andro/">promised</a>, Sony Ericsson has just flipped the switch for its Android bootloader unlocking service, meaning those with an unbranded Xperia device from 2011 and onwards -- <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/17/sony-ericsson-xperia-family-portrait-at-mwc-2011/">Play, Arc, Neo, and Pro</a> so far -- will be able to try out custom ROMs and other dirty mods with ease. All that's required here is your phone's IMEI number, which in return gives you the unlocking key to go with the Android SDK's fastboot program -- all will be clear once you've read the instructions at the source link. But remember: SE does warn that this service may void your warranty if all goes pear-shaped, so just be careful, won't ya?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/13/sony-ericssons-android-bootloader-unlocking-site-goes-live-mod/">Sony Ericsson's Android bootloader unlocking site goes live, modders rejoice</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 13 Apr 2011 14:22:00 EST.

There hasn't been much good news coming out of Japan lately and this sadly keeps up with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/14/japanese-quake-will-likely-affect-our-supply-of-gadgets/">unhappy trend</a>. Sony Ericsson has officially bumped the broad launch (it's already available in limited quantities) of its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/sony-ericsson-neo-first-hands-on/">Xperia Neo</a> handset to at least July, explaining the delay as the result of "supply chain disruptions." Additionally, the Xperia Arc and Play devices, two other members of the company's new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/17/sony-ericsson-xperia-family-portrait-at-mwc-2011/">Android Gingerbread family</a>, will be available in smaller volume than expected, at least for the near term. We guess that might go some way to explaining why the Xperia Play failed to reach <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/31/xperia-play-meets-shipping-delays-in-uk-vodafone-and-three-bump/">some UK carriers</a> in time for its April 1st launch date. Skip past the break for a statement from Sony Ericsson, who promises to be more explicit about the situation when it delivers its latest quarterly results on April 19th.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-delayed-to-q3-arc-and-play-facing-limi/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo delayed to Q3, Arc and Play facing limited supply due to Japanese quake</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-delayed-to-q3-arc-and-play-facing-limi/">Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo delayed to Q3, Arc and Play facing limited supply due to Japanese quake</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 08 Apr 2011 06:49:00 EST.

Sony Ericsson shook up <a href="http://www.engadget.com/all/mwc2011">MWC</a> before it had even begun this year by introducing the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/xperia-play-final-hardware-hands-on/">Xperia Play</a> -- the world's first PlayStation Certified phone -- alongside a pair of new members of its Xperia line of smartphones, the midrange <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/sony-ericsson-neo-first-hands-on/">Neo</a> and QWERTY-sliding <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/sony-ericsson-xperia-pro-first-hands-on/">Pro</a>. Taken together with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-video-preview-video/">Xperia Arc</a> that debuted at CES in January, this little bunch of Android Gingerbread runners will form SE's principal attack on the ever-fickle smartphone consumer's wallet this year. We can't yet tell you which of them might be the one for you, but we can certainly provide a gallery stuffed full of side-by-side pictures to help you visualize the differences, both big and small, between the four new Xperias. Enjoy!<br />

Would sir like some <a href="http://www.engadget.com/all/gingerbread">Gingerbread</a> with his Sunday lunch? Sony Ericsson's Xperia Neo just became official -- having already graced these pages thanks to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/04/sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-named-and-previewed-in-one-fell-swoop/">sneaky leaksters</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/20/sony-ericsson-mt15i-vivaz-2-ensnared-by-eldar-murtazin-given/">prying mobile reviewers</a> -- and it is pretty much what we thought it was: a downmarket alternative for those not keen or able to afford the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/04/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-vs-lg-optimus-2x-fight/">Xperia Arc</a>. It has an 8.1 megapixel camera round the back, Sony Ericsson's "human curvature" design, and the same Bravia screen technology as the Arc. The sides are extremely shiny and there's an abundance of plastic on show. In simple physical terms, you can just feel the difference in (likely future) price between the Neo and its more reputed siblings. We also found the multitouch widget-summoning feature extremely laggy. We'll have video of that and more for you very soon. Don't go anywhere!<br />

It's really no secret what <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/SonyEricsson/">Sony Ericsson</a> plans to show off at its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/MWC2011/">MWC 2011</a> press conference -- leaks notwithstanding, the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/XperiaPlay/">Xperia Play</a> (aka PlayStation Phone) was unveiled and made quite official in a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/06/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-finally-official-gets-full-launch-eve/">Super Bowl commercial</a>. We're about to see it presented all over again, but we'll also get a chance to see what <em>else</em> the company has up its sleeve... and under its thumbs, of course. The event kicks off 6PM local time (that's noon ET), so join us promptly, won't ya?<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/live-from-sony-ericssons-mwc-2011-press-event/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Live from Sony Ericsson's MWC 2011 press event!</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/live-from-sony-ericssons-mwc-2011-press-event/">Live from Sony Ericsson's MWC 2011 press event!</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 13 Feb 2011 12:54:00 EST.

The rumored <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/04/sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-named-and-previewed-in-one-fell-swoop/">Xperia Neo</a> still isn't official -- we think we're probably looking at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/MWC/">MWC</a> next week for that -- but there are enough floating around at this point so that they're getting tested pretty thoroughly (or, at least as thoroughly as you can test a pre-production device). The latest tidbit comes via a series of videos and stills that put the phone's 8.1 megapixel sensor through its paces; frankly, they look a little washed out, but it's really common for camera performance to improve by leaps and bounds through firmware updates right up until a phone's commercial release so we don't want to sound the alarm quite yet. My Android Life has also thrown together a quick video walkthrough of the UI, where you see that Sony Ericsson seems to be standardizing on the same experience first seen on the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/XperiaArc/">Xperia Arc</a> and later on the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/XperiaPlay/">Xperia Play</a> -- highly widgetized with a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Gingerbread/">Gingerbread</a> core. All things considered, it seems the Arc's a higher-end device -- but if the price is right, this Neo could win some hearts as well. Follow the break for the UI walkthrough.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/09/sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-put-through-its-paces-on-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo put through its paces on video</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/09/sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-put-through-its-paces-on-video/">Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo put through its paces on video</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 09 Feb 2011 02:09:00 EST.

One of its phones set for launch at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/all/mwc2011">Mobile World Congress 2011</a> has just slipped the net (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/27/sony-ericsson-mystery-handset-leaks-out-provides-juicy-rumor-ma/">again</a>) and this time we have its full product name to boot, the Xperia Neo. You'll be familiar with this Android 2.3 handset already from <em>mobile-review</em>'s <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/20/sony-ericsson-mt15i-vivaz-2-ensnared-by-eldar-murtazin-given/">thorough preview</a> a couple of weeks ago, though at the time it was known under its codename of MT15i. This latest hands-on look at the hardware is similarly positive about the Neo, describing it as a well constructed phone and praising Sony's Android modifications as restrained and actually useful. Talk about a 180-degree turn from the way things <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/28/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-for-atandt-review/">used to be</a>.<br /><br />There's another reason to be excited about this phone, however. Back in December, Sony Ericsson <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/21/sony-ericsson-playstation-phone-to-be-called-xperia-play/">registered trademarks</a> for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/05/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-first-hands-on/">Xperia Arc</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/26/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-playstation-phone-preview/">Xperia Play</a>, Xperia Neo, and... an Xperia Duo. We expect all four to be out and about at MWC this year, and we may have already seen the latter device in yet another bit of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/29/another-sony-ericsson-android-leaked-in-china-successor-to-the/">leaked photography</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/04/sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-named-and-previewed-in-one-fell-swoop/">Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo named and previewed in one fell swoop, bringing Gingerbread to MWC 2011</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 04 Feb 2011 05:14:00 EST.

If you'll recall, we spotted ASUS' Eee PC 1015T <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/06/asus-eee-pc-1015t-strolls-into-computex-with-amd-v105-we-thin/">sittin' pretty at Computex</a>, but considering that the OS was wiped by the time we got to it, we were left to take the placard's word for it when it came to specifications. Now, <i>B&amp;H</i> has begun to offer this bad boy here in the States, with $349.99 nabbing you a 1.2GHz AMD V105 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB (5400RPM) hard drive, ATI's Mobility Radeon HD 4250, a 10.1-inch LED-backlit panel, inbuilt webcam, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a 32-bit copy of Windows 7 Starter and a six-cell battery. All told, it rings up at 2.8 pounds and should last anywhere between three and six hours on a full charge, but we're guessing real-world performance will swing towards the former. It's available right now in blue, black and white, and if you're looking for a way to stick it to Intel's sluggish Atom line, here it is.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/04/asus-eee-pc-1015t-now-on-sale-complete-with-amd-v105-cpu/">ASUS Eee PC 1015T now on sale, complete with AMD V105 CPU</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 04 Nov 2010 20:27:00 EST.

We're guessing that you may actually save even more space if you take the Mini-e from atop that stand and actually let it lay flat on your desk, but it sure looks cute, don't it? <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/eMachines/">eMachines</a> latest, um, <i>machine</i> "looks more like modern art than a computer," or at least that's what we're being told in the presser hosted up just past the break. The Mini-e ER1402 measures just 7.1 inches in diameter and weighs 9 pounds, and while it won't handle the latest installment of <i>Crysis</i>, it should plow through those late night Hulu catch-up sessions with ease. Touting an AMD Athlon II Neo CPU, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/NVIDIA/">NVIDIA</a>'s GeForce 9200 GPU, 2GB of RAM, four USB 2.0 ports, a built-in card reader, 160GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/n WiFi and an HDMI port, this SFF PC can also be mounted upside your wall or closet if you so choose. Best of all?

So, here's the thing -- there's no denying that the Eee PC 1015T, based on model name alone, is brand new and heretofore unknown. But what's <em>really </em>under the hood? As the story goes, this here machine was spotted lurking in the rear of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ASUS/">ASUS</a>' <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Computex/">Computex</a> booth, complete with a placard that informed us of its 10.1-inch glossy display (1,024 x 600), AMD <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/V105/">V105</a> processor, an ATI Radeon HD 4200 series GPU, room for 4GB of DDR3 memory, 250/320/500GB hard drive, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, optional Bluetooth 3.0, a 6-cell battery and a few color options. But strangely enough, it seems as if the hard drive had been completely wiped, with only a brief boot-up screen informing us that this machine was an engineering release meant not for public use, and that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/NVIDIA/">NVIDIA</a> parts were within. Hmm. In all honesty, we're guessing that ASUS simply had to rush this particular unit out to make it before the show's start, but we wouldn't go placing bets either way -- for all we know, the final version will get outfitted with a Core i5, Ion 2, inbuilt WiMAX and a Vmedia drive.

If the words "Dell" and "AMD" excite you then lean in, we've got something for you. You won't find it on Dell's US site just yet, but Dell Singapore is showing off its first laptop to feature AMD's new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/amd-promises-better-battery-life-and-thermals-with-new-neo-cpus/">Nile-class of processors</a>. The Inspiron M301z starts at $999 (that's about $715 of the US green stuff) with a 1.3GHz dual-core Athlon II Neo K325 processor (optional 1.5GHz Neo K625), 2GB (up to 4GB supported) of 1,333MHz DDR3 memory and a 320GB hard disk spinning at 7,200RPM, ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics, a glossy 13.3-inch WLED display pushing 1,366x768 pixels, and a 6-cell 44WHr battery for up to 5-hours of promised life. It's available for purchase now in Singapore and likely elsewhere just as soon as the sun begins to warm the western world.<br />

Could 2010 be the year AMD poses a real threat to Intel on the laptop front? Well, you know that rumor that it's gonna be <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/amd-to-ship-chips-in-109-laptops-this-year/">powering 109 new laptops</a>? Not only is that true, but it's also going to be in 26 <em>more</em> thin and light systems. Frankly, we're not all that surprised, particularly since it's been no huge secret that AMD's had a bunch of new processors floating about -- some of which have been finding homes in new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/hp-unleashes-seven-new-probooks-cuddles-up-with-amd/">HP</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/lenovo-officially-rolls-out-new-ideapad-z/">Lenovo</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/acer-aspire-5553g-showcases-amds-quad-core-phenom-ii-n930-in-ea/">Acer</a>, and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/dell-inspiron-m501r-seen-packing-quad-core-amd-phenom-ii-x4-cpu/">Dell laptops</a>. Thankfully, the silicon heavyweight is finally revealing the source of all this mojo by sharing details about these mighty, yet energy efficient slabs of silicon. Up first is the Ultrathin platform (codenamed "Nile"), which now includes the new 23w Turion II Neo dual-core, Athlon II Neo dual-core, and Athlon II Neo processors -- there's clock speed and TDP specifics of each in the gallery, if that's your sort of thing. To be found in 11- to 13- inch laptops like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/hp-mini-210-updated-with-trippy-lids-pavilion-dm1-with-new-amd/">HP's dm1</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/acer-aspire-one-521-spotted-in-france-handling-hd-video-eying-a/">Acer's Aspire One 721</a>, the CPUs can be coupled with ATI Radeon HD 5400 or Radeon 4200 integrated graphics options, not to mention DDR3 and Direct X 10.1 support. The biggest change? Apparently, the line up has been improved in terms of battery life and thermals, and AMD's promising over eight hours of usage when fully charged. Given that battery life and heat were our biggest issues with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/">previous Neo processors</a>, we're happy to see those problem areas being addressed, but we'll believe it when we really test some of these bad boys in the near future. <br />
<br />
On the mainstream side of things, AMD continues to cram desktop power into its Athlon II dual-core, Athlon Turion II dual-core, Phenom II dual-, triple- and quad-core processors. There's 12 new chips in all, but the top of the line 2.3GHz quad-core Phenom II Black Edition X920 is definitely the most juicy, and should give some Core i7 rigs a run for their money. Obviously those powerful CPUs can all be paired with ATI's Radeon HD 4500 or higher discrete graphics (which will support Direct X11) or a lower-end Radeon 4200 integrated graphics option. Because AMD now likes to use simple terms with its Vision branding, it didn't provide any hard benchmark numbers, but it promises 80 percent smoother gaming performance than comparable competitive mainstream systems, and 30 percent longer battery life than AMD's previous generation of processors. Hit the break for the full presser, and click on through the gallery for a closer look at the technical details. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/amd-2010-vision-ultrathin-and-mainstream-platform-slides/">AMD 2010 Vision Ultrathin and Mainstream platform slides</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/amd-2010-vision-ultrathin-and-mainstream-platform-slides/#2975196"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/05/processornames01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/amd-2010-vision-ultrathin-and-mainstream-platform-slides/#2975197"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/05/processornames02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/amd-2010-vision-ultrathin-and-mainstream-platform-slides/#2973113"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/05/amdmobileslides01screen-shot-2010-05-11-at-12.27.03-pm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/amd-2010-vision-ultrathin-and-mainstream-platform-slides/#2973114"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/05/amdmobileslides02screen-shot-2010-05-11-at-12.27.17-pm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/amd-2010-vision-ultrathin-and-mainstream-platform-slides/#2973115"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/05/amdmobileslides03screen-shot-2010-05-11-at-12.27.28-pm_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/amd-promises-better-battery-life-and-thermals-with-new-neo-cpus/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>AMD promises better battery life and thermals with new Neo CPUs, more power with Phenom II platform</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/amd-promises-better-battery-life-and-thermals-with-new-neo-cpus/">AMD promises better battery life and thermals with new Neo CPUs, more power with Phenom II platform</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 12 May 2010 00:01:00 EST.

ASUS may be <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/asustek-to-spin-off-motherboard-and-gpu-business-under-pegatron/">in the process of spinning off</a> the Pegatron brand, but for now it's still the same company behind this here slick white smartbook. Running the inevitable Android OS on a 10-inch display, but offering the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/notion-ink-adam-stripped-bare-and-our-in-depth-video-hands-on/">never-boring</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/quanta-tegra-2-prototype-hands-on/">Tegra 2</a> combo of 1080p playback and up to a "full day" of WiFi-enabled battery juice, the prototype machine was being shown off to give us a hint of what's to come. We're told the Neo is definitely coming later in the year, though the particulars of the price tag and distributor badge are not yet revealed. For our money, this was a spectacularly thin and light pseudo-laptop -- it's hard to overstate just how deprived of weight this thing is. Opening it up shows an appealing layout and keyboard, which were rather spoiled by a number of creaky and unstable parts. We found deep flex in the keyboard panel and around the hinges, but our optimistic souls are willing to put those things down to it being a demo unit. If this featherweight design makes it to market without sacrificing any of the good bits while getting rid of the bad ones, we'd recommend it in a hot and sweaty second.<br />

It's been a good while since we've seen an unboxing as thorough as this, even if the quality of the recording could be better. The chaps over at <em>Wow Pow</em> have sourced one of them dual-screen Kohjinsha DZ netbooks, which have had us intrigued since we saw them <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/video-kohjinsha-dual-screen-swivel-netbook-prototype-hands-on/">at CEATEC earlier this year</a>. What we find from their cardboard adventuring is that the DZ comes with a LiteOn charger, a 6-cell 5,200mAh battery with endurance rated at four hours (though they've suggested that might be for only one screen), a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/1seg">1Seg</a> tuner that works only in Japan, and a multitouch trackpad. Powered by a 1.6GHz AMD Neo and 4 gigs of RAM, this machine definitely wants to escape the netbook tag, and its neat inclusion of an <em>internal</em> USB port intended for wireless connectivity dongles gives it another unorthodox selling point. Go beyond the break to see its de-boxing.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/kohjinsha-dz-gets-unboxed-and-stretched-out/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Kohjinsha DZ gets unboxed and stretched out</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/kohjinsha-dz-gets-unboxed-and-stretched-out/">Kohjinsha DZ gets unboxed and stretched out</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 11 Dec 2009 06:00:00 EST.

Hellooo Onkyo. Sure, it's just a rebadge of the Japanese <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/27/kohjinshas-dual-sceen-dz-series-laptop-now-for-sale/">Kohjinsha DZ-series dual-display rig</a> we've already seen. But Onkyo's DX raises the bar significantly by delivering a pair of 10.1-inch 1,366 &times; 768 pixel LCD displays (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/video-kohjinsha-dual-screen-swivel-netbook-prototype-hands-on/">as promised</a> at CEATEC) that easily trump the 1,024 x 600 panels used on the Kohjinsha without increasing the portable's overall size. While we're still looking at the same 1.6GHz Athlon Neo MV-40 CPU, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, and 3x USB jacks, Oknyo's offering <em>starts</em> with 2GB (not 1GB) of memory standard expandable to 4GB, a 320GB 5,400rpm disk (not 160GB), Gigabit Ethernet, and 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Here's the best part: it's priced at just &yen;84,800 (about $966) compared to the Kohjinsha which lists for &yen;79,800 / $909 on Kohjinsha's retail site or a steep &yen;100,800 / $1,148 premium if purchased through the <i>GeekStuff4u</i> exporter. Guess which one we'd choose?<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/onkyos-dx-dual-screen-laptop/">Onkyo's DX dual-screen laptop</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/onkyos-dx-dual-screen-laptop/#2522844"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/12/onkyos-dx-dual-screen-laptop-1260436061_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/onkyos-dx-dual-screen-laptop/#2522845"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/12/onkyos-dx-dual-screen-laptop-is-a-far-better-deal-than-kohjinshas-dz04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/onkyos-dx-dual-screen-laptop/#2522846"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/12/onkyos-dx-dual-screen-laptop-is-a-far-better-deal-than-kohjinshas-dz03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/onkyos-dx-dual-screen-laptop/#2522847"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/12/onkyos-dx-dual-screen-laptop-is-a-far-better-deal-than-kohjinshas-dz02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/10/onkyos-dx-dual-screen-laptop-is-a-far-better-deal-than-kohjinsh/">Onkyo's DX dual-screen laptop is a far better deal than Kohjinsha's DZ</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:11:00 EST.

MSI's latest (and arguably greatest) 12.1-inch netbook <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/msis-wind12-u230-flaunts-amd-athlon-neo-x2-chip-windows-7-os/">just popped official</a> earlier this month, and already it's making the rounds at various shows. The crew over at <i>NetbookNews</i> managed to get their hands around one for just under three minutes, and during that brief window of time they were able to confirm that an AMD Athlon Neo X2 chip was within. Also on tap was a 500GB hard drive and a previously unannounced SIM card slot, though the &euro;440 ($661) price tag seems a bit steep for "a netbook." Check the walk-around just after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/msi-wind-u230-gets-handled-on-video-sim-slot-found-hiding-under/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>MSI Wind U230 gets handled on video, SIM slot found hiding underneath</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/msi-wind-u230-gets-handled-on-video-sim-slot-found-hiding-under/">MSI Wind U230 gets handled on video, SIM slot found hiding underneath</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:01:00 EST.

This isn't it, it's better... conceptually anyway. Instead of two halves of a keyboard magically jigsawing themselves together, Kohjinsha achieves a similar result with its DZ-series using a pair of 10.1-inch TFT displays with 1,024 x 600 pixel resolution (each) packed into an otherwise svelte 1.02 x 8.26 x 0.74~1.65 inches / 4.09 pounds (1.84 kg) portable. Best of all it's on sale now for &yen;95,800 (about $1,110) with a Linux pre-load -- add another &yen;5,000 (about $58) for 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. For that you get a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo with RS780MN chipset and ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 3x USB, a 3-in-1 card reader, 1.3 megapixel webcam, 1GB memory (expandable to 4GB), and 160GB 5,400RPM hard disk with claimed 4.5-hours "max" of battery power (1.1V, 5200mAh) -- likely far less in real-world usage. Ships worldwide ($60ish for US or &euro;50ish for European delivery) in 3 weeks if you order today.

Dell has taken its sweet time in bringing the 7.75- x 7.75- x 3.5-inch <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/12/dells-zino-hd-crams-desktop-parts-into-miniature-enclosure/">Inspiron Zino HD</a> to market, but just 24 hours after it made its market debut <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/dells-inspiron-zino-hd-now-official-in-ireland/">across the pond</a>, this little zinger is finally available to the Yanks in attendance. Starting at just $229, the mini PC is far more exhilarating than most ho hum nettops. Oh sure, the base configuration is fairly unexciting, but thankfully Dell enables you to add up to 8GB of memory, a 1.8GHz dual-core AMD <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/AthlonNeo/">Athlon Neo</a> X2 6850e CPU, up to 1TB of HDD space, an optional Blu-ray drive, a 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4330 discrete GPU and WiFi to the mix. 'Course, speccing it out will obviously raise the price substantially, but it's always nice to see more power than anticipated within such a minuscule box. Of note, Dell also mentions that an optional TV tuner, wireless keyboard and mouse are available, but at least for now, the TV tuner is nowhere to be found in the <a target="_blank" href="http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=ddcwua4&amp;c=us&amp;l=en&amp;s=dhs&amp;cs=19&amp;kc=inspiron-zino-hd">configuration pages</a>. Other inclusions are a 4-in-1 card reader, four USB 2.0 sockets and a pair of eSATA ports. Who says HTPCs have <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/how-to-build-a-blu-ray-tv-tuner-equipped-htpc-for-under-1-00/">to breathe fire</a>?<br />
<br />
<strong>Update</strong>: We've just heard that the TV tuner won't be available at launch (sounds a lot like what happened with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/dell-mini-10-tv-tuner-option-coming-this-summer-mini-10v-goes-h/">Mini 10</a>), so there goes those dreams of immediately gratifying your urge for a new HTPC of the smallest scale.<br />

Since today really needs a good heap of news to somewhat balance out <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/17/dells-2000-adamo-xps-launching-october-22-with-heat-sensing-op/">yesterday's</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/17/verizons-anti-iphone-gets-its-first-commercial-droid-does/">glut</a>, HP has updated its online store to give it an abundance of new and revised <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Windows7/">Windows 7</a> machines, including the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Envy/">Envy</a> series (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/18/hp-and-dr-dre-team-up-to-shill-a-limited-edition-envy-15/">Beats edition</a> and all), Pavilion <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dm3/">dm3</a> with AMD Neo or Intel CULV chips, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Corei7/">Core i7</a>-packing dv6t/ dv7t / <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dv8">dv8t</a> Quad editions, and the not-so-netbook <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/compaq-cq61-does-15-6-inch-screen-and-real-processor-for-399/">CQ61</a>. We're still not seeing the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/28/touchscreen-hp-pavilion-dv3-leaks-out-brings-dm1-ultraportable/">previously-leaked dm1</a> ultraportable anywhere, but the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Mini311/">Mini 311</a> and a slightly updated Mini 110 are, with the option to jump from Windows XP to 7 for a cool $50 / $30 respectively. Most everything in the store, desktops and laptops, has been updated to at least include Windows 7 as the standard shipping OS, and while all claim free 2-day shipping, estimated shipping dates begin sometime the week after 7's Oct 22nd launch -- no early chances here, folks. Browse the read links and keep an eye on the shiny red "new" icons (no flashing GIFs, we're afraid) for the entire revised lineup.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update: </strong>As a number of you have pointed, the Envy product page is a bit, well, sloppy. Typos and missing commas notwithstanding, it seems to biggest laugh is the cost of customization, i.e. $800 more to <em>downgrade</em> from a 500GB HDD to 320GB or 250GB (same price), or $900 more to downgrade from 6GB or 4GB of DDR3 memory. Yeah, it might be best to hold off on that one until HP get the kinks worked out.<br />

AMD's never been much for keeping to the roadmap, and it looks like the curious launch of its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/amd-tigris-and-congo-mobile-platforms-focus-on-multimedia-longe/">Congo platform</a> is evidence of that very fact. If you'll recall, we actually saw a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/acers-11-6-inch-ferrari-one-finally-a-netbook-with-speed/">Congo-based netbook</a> launch way <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/new-amd-neo-athlon-turion-chips-emerge-in-hp-pavilion-dv2z/">back in June</a>, and it was expected that a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/acer-ferrari-one-hands-on-and-more-from-amds-vision-event/">flood of other</a> ultrathin machines would follow shortly thereafter. According to <em>DigiTimes</em>, the demand in the market just wasn't there (thanks, recession!), so everything was pushed back until November. Lo and behold, our Gregorian calendar has that very month on deck for next, and according to mythical sources at laptop makers, the platform should make its super-duper official <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/amd-plans-congo-chipset-for-a-future-world-of-thin-and-lights/">debut</a> within a matter of weeks. The dual-core Turion Neo X2 L625, Athlon Neo X2 L335/L325 and / or single-core Athlon Neo MV-40 should be front and center, and AMD is apt to announce progress on its Nile and Brazos platforms -- both of which should help carry the chip maker through the next two years. Look out <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Atom/">Atom</a>, you've got some delayed competition coming your way.<br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: Seems as if this may all just be a "second wave" of sorts when many PC makers choose to launch machines based on this platform alongside Windows 7's debut. AMD informed us that the November delay notion was also false, and we get the feeling that Congo's just been waiting for Win7 to really get itself out there.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/18/amds-congo-platform-getting-really-official-next-month/">AMD's Congo platform getting really official next month?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 18 Oct 2009 08:14:00 EST.

MSI's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/x400/">X-Slim X400</a> made quite the splash alongside the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/14/msis-x-slim-x340-vs-x400-vs-x600-culv-laptops-fight/">X340 and X600</a> earlier this year, but now it's time for the slighted middle child to get an upgrade. Upstaging both of the aforementioned siblings, the refreshed X410 gets powered by AMD's Athlon <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Neo/">Neo</a> processor and also packs an ATI Radeon X1250 GPU, 14-inch LCD (1,366 x 768), up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 1.3 megapixel camera, gigabit Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, optional Bluetooth, an HDMI port, an SD card reader and a 320GB or 500GB hard drive. There's also a pair of USB 2.0 sockets, a VGA output, external DVD writer (or Blu-ray drive, if you'd prefer) and a 4- or 8-cell battery to boot. Per usual, MSI isn't doling out pricing or release details just yet, but we're betting a pre-holiday ship date is practically a lock.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://hothardware.com/News/MSI-Extends-XSlim-Lineup-With-14-NeoPowered-X410/">HotHardware</a>]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/18/msi-slides-out-14-inch-athlon-neo-equipped-x410-laptop/">MSI slides out 14-inch Athlon Neo-equipped X410 laptop</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:32:00 EST.

MSI's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/video-12-inch-msi-wind-u210-gets-a-thorough-going-over/">Wind U210</a> has certainly been <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/msi-wind-210-with-amd-athlon-neo-announced-for-europe/">making the rounds</a>, but it has yet to plant its feet firmly on US soil. Until today, obviously. Checking in at 3.2 pounds, this 12.1-inch netbook is equipped with a larger-than-usual 1,366 x 768 display, AMD's 1.6GHz Athlon Neo MV-40 processor, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250GB hard drive and a 6-cell battery that's reportedly good for four hours of usage. The rig's also packing an ATI Radeon X1250 in the graphics department, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, HDMI output, three USB 2.0 sockets, a VGA port and a 4-in-1 multicard reader.

Those <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/hp-envy-13-and-15-bring-luxury-to-the-everyman-look-like-macboo/">new ENVYs</a> too rich for your blood? HP still has some design chops to show off in the ProBook 5310m and the (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/hp-dm1-and-dm3-ultraportables-leaked-pavilion-dv8-to-pack-core/">leaked</a>, pictured) Pavilion dm3. HP is calling the classy 5310m the "world's thinnest full-performance notebook," whatever that means, while the dm3 offers a choice of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/AMDNeo/">AMD Neo</a> or Intel Core 2 Duo processors. Both rock 13-inch LCDs, hover around four pounds and measure around an inch thick. The 5310m is available with a Celeron for as low as $699, but to get that "full-performance" Core 2 Duo action, you're looking at a $899 tag. Meanwhile the dm3 starts at $549 for AMD and $649 for Intel. With thin-and-light prices like these, who needs netbooks? Both laptops should be out on October 22, running Windows 7. Full PR is after the break. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-press-shots/">HP ProBook 5310m press shots</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-press-shots/#2283657"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-probook-5310m000-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-press-shots/#2283658"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-probook-5310m001-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-press-shots/#2283659"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-probook-5310m002-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-press-shots/#2283660"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-probook-5310m003-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-press-shots/#2283661"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-probook-5310m004-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div> <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-pavilion-dm3-press-shots/">HP Pavilion dm3 press shots</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-pavilion-dm3-press-shots/#2283649"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-dm3-000-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-pavilion-dm3-press-shots/#2283650"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-dm3-001-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-pavilion-dm3-press-shots/#2283651"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-dm3-002-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-pavilion-dm3-press-shots/#2283652"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-dm3-003-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-pavilion-dm3-press-shots/#2283653"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-dm3-004-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div> <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-and-pavilion-dm3-hands-on/">HP ProBook 5310m and Pavilion dm3 hands-on</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-and-pavilion-dm3-hands-on/#2283680"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-dm3-probook-02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-and-pavilion-dm3-hands-on/#2283668"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-dm3-probook-03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-and-pavilion-dm3-hands-on/#2283667"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-dm3-probook-04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-and-pavilion-dm3-hands-on/#2283682"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-dm3-probook-05_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/hp-probook-5310m-and-pavilion-dm3-hands-on/#2283677"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/hp-dm3-probook-06_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/hps-probook-5310m-and-pavilion-dm3-keep-thin-and-light-cheap/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>HP's ProBook 5310m and Pavilion dm3 keep "thin-and-light" cheap enough for the rest of us</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/hps-probook-5310m-and-pavilion-dm3-keep-thin-and-light-cheap/">HP's ProBook 5310m and Pavilion dm3 keep "thin-and-light" cheap enough for the rest of us</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:35:00 EST.

For anyone who can live by the credo that money is no obstacle is the way of getting the very best in your life, Panasonic's unveiled the 85-inch TH-85PF12U plasma HDTV. It outputs 1080p -- but we'd be honestly surprised if it didn't at this point -- and weighs in at 260 pounds, with its main body about 3.9 inches in depth. Price? Well, if you have to ask... it's $30,000 -- honestly not that surprising when you consider the years-old <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/08/panasonic-slashes-price-of-103-inch-plasma/">103-inch model</a> is still teetering around $45,000, give or take five grand.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/displays/" rel="tag">Displays</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/panasonic/" rel="tag">Panasonic</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/plasma/" rel="tag">Plasma</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/panasonics-85-inch-plasma-screen-is-30-000-worth-of-decadence/">Panasonic's 85-inch plasma screen is $30,000 worth of decadence</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 02 Sep 2009 03:11:00 EST.

Who needs press releases? You can snap up an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/msi-wind-210-with-amd-athlon-neo-announced-for-europe/">MSI U210</a> pre-order right this second on Amazon, so why bother waiting MSI to actually confirm the thing for a Stateside release? Morality. That's why. Kids these days think they can just drop $430 on any old Athlon Neo MV-40-powered (the same chips at the heart of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dv2">HP's dv2</a>) 12-inch XGA ultraportable with 2GB of RAM and a 250GB HDD and 802.11n and not have to <em>pay the consequences</em>. Well, we're not standing for it. That read link right below? <em>Not</em> an implied approval of these illicit activities.<br />

AMD's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/neo/">Neo ultra-portable platform</a> was seen as something that just might rival Intel's mighty <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Atom/">Atom</a> in the oversaturated netbook space when it <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/amd-kinda-sorta-takes-aim-at-atom-with-athlon-neo/">debuted back in January</a>, but up until now, the system has remained largely in the background. Indeed, it has only found its way into a select few machines, none of which have managed to gain any sort of traction beside the sea of Atom-based alternatives. Now, however, it seems as if the chips -- which were originally engineered for ultraslim, thin-and-light laptops -- may find themselves shoved into an array of nettops and all-in-one PCs. Here lately, a slew of underpowered SFF-type desktops and PC-in-a-monitor type units have found favor with bargain hunters, and Bob Grim, the outfit's director of client marketing, isn't looking to miss a golden opportunity. To quote: <br /><br /><blockquote><em>"We've known all along that this type of technology would really work well in multiple platforms and multiple types of form factors. These CPUs perform better than the Atom processor, and the graphics are superior. These things... can play Blu-rays, they can play games."<br /></em></blockquote><br />There's still no word on who exactly plans on equipping their future machines with this here platform, but considering just how tired we are of Intel's sluggish N270 and N280, we'll take all the competition we can get.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/handhelds/" rel="tag">Handhelds</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/19/amds-neo-to-hit-nettops-all-in-one-pcs-soon/">AMD's Neo to hit nettops, all-in-one PCs soon</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 19 Jul 2009 06:18:00 EST.

Just like your mom keeps telling you, AMD thinks netbooks are a bit of a fad, and is laying down a roadmap for thin-and-lights while keeping its distance from any sort of "Atom killer." The existing Yukon platform -- featured in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dv2">HP's dv2</a> -- just got an upgrade in the form of a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/new-amd-neo-athlon-turion-chips-emerge-in-hp-pavilion-dv2z/">dual-core AMD Neo chip</a>, but things will really start to get exciting later this year with the introduction of Congo, which will pair a dual-core Neo with much better graphics and a more modern chipset. Perks in Congo, which is based on the M780G chipset and sports ATI Radeon HD 3200 IGP graphics, include hardware decoding for HD formats, DirectX 10 gaming, love for DisplayPort, HDMI and eSATA, and Hybrid Graphics potential for pairing the integrated chipset with discrete graphics. The hope is to compete well against Intel's CULV and NVIDIA's 9400M in the low-cost thin-and-light space, and if the price stays down and performance pans out, Congo just might.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/11/amd-plans-congo-chipset-for-a-future-world-of-thin-and-lights/">AMD plans 'Congo' chipset for a future world of thin-and-lights, dodging netbooks for now</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 11 Jun 2009 18:49:00 EST.

Well, well -- what have we here? <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/HP/">HP</a>'s <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/hp-introduces-cheaper-dv2-dv3-and-dv6-laptops/">newly unveiled Pavilion dv2z</a> just so happens to have a bit of fresh silicon within, as AMD's latest <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Neo/">Neo</a> chips are front and center in the configuration options. The thin-and-light machine can be ordered with single- or dual-core AMD Athlon Neo and Turion Neo dual-core processors, and if you're looking for specifics, you'll find the new 1.6GHz Athlon Neo X2 L335 and 1.6GHz Turion Neo X2 L625. Other specs on the 12.1-incher include a LED-backlit WXGA panel, optional Blu-ray drive, discrete ATI Radeon graphics, up to 500GB of HDD space, a built-in webcam, WiFi, optional WWAN (Verizon, Sprint or AT&amp;T) and a 6-cell battery. It's up for order right now starting at $599.99, but if you're looking to leave that aged <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/MV-40/">Neo MV-40</a> behind, you'll have to pony up a bit more than that.

HP's just kicked out a slew of updates to its laptop lines, and thankfully the biggest news is that they've gotten cheaper. The HP dv2z brings the low end of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dv2">12.1-inch AMD Neo ultraportable</a> down to $599, while the larger Intel-based <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dv3">dv3t</a> is now $649. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dv6">dv6</a> gets two new editions, including the pictured $949 dv6z Artist Edition 2 preloaded with a bunch of Corel art software and a $649 dv6t base model that thankfully loses the awful lid artwork. Seriously, we know HP had to use the design after it won the HP / MTV Notebook Design Contest, but we just don't think too many people want to rock the"surfing peacock" look. There are also a bunch of new eco-friendly printers if you're into that sort of thing -- hit the read link for the lowdown.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/hp-introduces-cheaper-dv2-dv3-and-dv6-laptops/">HP introduces cheaper dv2, dv3, and dv6 laptops, fantastically ugly dv6 Artist Edition</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 09 Jun 2009 00:36:00 EST.

Sure, it's odd to see Mio churning out a couple of netbooks, but what's even more surprising is that they're at least somewhat interesting. The 8.9-inch Atom N270-powered Mio N890 includes 3G, GPS, Mio navigation software, an accelerometer, and a MagSafe-style breakaway power connector. It all weighs in under 2 pounds, and measures less than an inch thick. Meanwhile, the Mio N1210 (pictured) is one of the few computers we've seen so far running AMD's new Neo MV-40 processor. There's no mention of GPS, but the 12-inch laptop is preloaded with Windows 7 and 3G data, measures under an inch thick, and weighs under three pounds. No word on price for either, but both should be headed to Europe this fall.<br /><br /><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fchinese.engadget.com%2F2009%2F06%2F02%2Fcomputex-2009-mio-debut-n890-netbook-with-gps-and-3g-module%2F&amp;sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;history_state0=">Read</a> - Mio N890<br /><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fchinese.engadget.com%2F2009%2F06%2F02%2Fcomputex-2009-mio-debut-12-inch-amd-congo-platform-netbook%2F&amp;sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;history_state0=">Read</a> - Mio N1210<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/mios-new-intel-atom-and-amd-neo-netbooks-might-help-you-navigat/">Mio's new Intel Atom and AMD Neo netbooks might help you navigate through a sea of me-too computers at Computex</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 02 Jun 2009 21:11:00 EST.

AMD had (and still has, arguably) a lot riding on HP's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hps-12-1-inch-pavilion-dv2-dont-call-it-a-netbook/">Pavilion dv2</a>, with it being the first notable machine to arrive with the outfit's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/amd-kinda-sorta-takes-aim-at-atom-with-athlon-neo/">Neo platform</a>. We've <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/hp-pavilion-dv2-review-roundup/">already heard</a> what the so-called professionals think, but we're interested to hear from the folks who really matter -- the consumers. Is HP's BD-friendly dv2 priced right? Is it sufficiently sexy? Is the 1.6GHz Athlon Neo MN-40 living up to the hype? Are you stoked with running Windows Vista on this? As with Sony's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/VAIOP/">VAIO P</a>, this here "netbook" is definitely on the pricier end of things, so we're pretty sure owners won't hesitate to give HP a mouthful. The forum's open, so speak!<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/how-would-you-change-hps-pavilion-dv2/">How would you change HP's Pavilion dv2?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sat, 23 May 2009 05:18:00 EST.

Since you've most likely supplanted any memory of Tigris with something useful, let us remind you that Tigris is AMD's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/15/amd-releases-another-notebook-roadmap-does-not-release-fusion-c/">mainstream laptop platform</a> built around a dual-core 45-nm Caspian processor supporting 800MHz DDR2 memory and ATI M9x series graphics. The <em>Commercial Times</em> is also reporting that Computex might even bring a possible unveiling of AMD's next-generation Danube laptop platform featuring a quad-core Champlain processor with support for DDR3 memory. Unfortunately, Champlain won't be available for consumers until 2010 -- 2009 is all about Tigris laptops and the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/athlon%20neo">Athlon Neo</a> thin-and-lights for AMD. Where's the AMD netbook? Oh they <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/amd-says-its-ignoring-netbooks-will-focus-on-ultraportables/">ceded that market to Intel</a> a long time ago; a bad move now that Atom-based netbooks are plundering mainstream laptop marketshare that AMD was betting on with Tigris.<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag">Laptops</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/amd-to-flood-computex-with-tigris-notebooks-reveal-danube/">AMD to flood Computex with mainstream Tigris laptops, reveal Danube?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 18 May 2009 06:20:00 EST.

<div align="left">We haven't heard much from Stone since it fulfilled its destiny and bought Rock Computers <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/24/stone-buys-rock-could-this-be-any-more-perfect/">last year</a>, but it looks like the company is now finally having a go at a netbook of its own, and blending right in with the masses with its just-announced Neo 101 model. As you can no doubt guess, this one packs a standard issue 10.1-inch 1,024 x 600 display and an unspecified Atom processor, along with built-in WiFi and optional 3G, a pair of USB ports and, somewhat notably, an ExpressCard slot for a bit of expansion. You'll also get a slightly better than usual three-year warranty, which apparently doesn't add much of a premium to the netbook's &pound;275 price tag (or about $400). Look for this one to be available in the UK starting May 1st.<br /></div>
