After giving the new IdeaPad U110 its 15 minutes of fame in front of the camera, we got down to business. The 11.1-inch ultraportable is built like a tank — a really, really lightweight tank. The uniquely-designed lid and (overly) glossy motif is a welcome change for Lenovo, but after a good bit of use, it’s easy to see this one won’t appeal to the masses. Engadget

Design:

• All in all, it’s fairly sexy. Definitely sexy for a Lenovo.
• Too much gloss. It’s overkill in its finest form, though some may enjoy it.
• It’s
a fingerprint magnet (shocking, we know) — practically every square
centimeter of this thing’s insides grabs prints: the keys, the screen,
even the palm rests.
• Extraordinarily sturdy. We really can’t emphasize enough how solidly this thing is built.
• Appreciated
accents — the “floral swirl” motif flows from the top lid to the
underside, all the way to the smattering of touch controls that sit
sneakily above the row of Function keys.
• Very respectable port selection for its size.
• Sleek from one corner to the other, thoughtful bottom bumpers ensure a firm grip on your lap / table. Read the rest of this entry

IBM Expands Express Advantage Line With Security, Data Backup

IBM (NYSE:IBM)
is expanding its Express Advantage portfolio with new business
continuity and security service packages targeting mid-size companies,
the vendor announced Monday.
Express Advantage is IBM’s line of products and services
pre-configured for mid-size customers, a $253 billion market, according
to IBM estimates, and largely sold through channel partners. IBM, which
earlier this year announced a major push to expand midmarket sales through the channel,
unveiled the new services just days before the start of the vendor’s
Business Partner Leadership Conference this week in Los Angeles. 

In today’s news, Intel has released a new sibling of the 45nm family of Core 2 Quad processors: the Q9300 “Yorkfield” processor, which comes in at 2.5 GHz with a 1333 MHzfront side bus. The new chip breaks down like this: You get a faster front side bus, lower operating temperatures, and new SSE4.1 instruction sets. On the other hand, the L2 cache has been halved (6MB vs. the 12MB of higher-end quad-core CPUs). The gentlemen over at the End User blog, a new Amazon.com gadgets blog by its employees, report that testing proves that the smaller L2 cache still doesn’t hold the Q9300 back from beating its predecessor, the 65nm 2.4 GHz Q6600.ZDNET

Intel has arguably the fastest processors around right now and today we are going to take a look at a lower cost and good performing CPU called the Intel Core 2 Duo E6750. this processor was one of the first Intel processors to use the 1333MHz front side bus. If you want to know how well the processor performs read on.
