Samsungs’s NC215S offers some serious solar technology, with photovoltaic cells across the lid. It promises to bump the runtime up an hour for every two hours of suntime. For unplugged computing in the desert, this might be the ticket. It was first announced last month, and now Amazon has it up for preorder. Aside from the [...]

For all of Acer’s shortcomings, they do one thing quite well, and that is to undercut the competition. On a personal note, I do own two of their products, and while not the absolute highest quality, they do both get the job done.

The Intel Atom N570 is out, and it is the new “King of the Hill” Atom chip, which is kind of like saying you drive the fastest econobox. At any rate, an additional detail revealed about the dual core processor is that the power consumption is 8.5 W, which is quite efficient given the two [...]
