Acer Introduces "Quad-Core" Laptop

If you’re looking for a supercharged notebook experience, the Acer 8930G is here to provide you with an entirely hyperbolic quad-core processor. Just in case you need to do some serious processing on the go, I suppose.

CNET is pretty down on whether a quad-core processor is truly necessary on a laptop computer, and though it probably isn’t, it’s not like the 8930G is entirely outrageous.

With a suggested retail price of only $1,799, it might actually be worth it to never worry about being behind on processor speed.

Not to mention the fact that you get a large, 18-inch display and a Blu-ray disc drive.

LAPTOP Magazine has a fairly in-depth review if your interest is piqued.

Asus EEE PC

Asus is perhaps the most recognizable brand name in the netbooks category, and their Eee PCs have been dominating the market mostly because, until this point, there hasn’t been competition. Now that there is though, Asus is determined to retain their leadership position, and is offering Eee PC netbooks that are robust, versatile, and quite affordable.

The available configurations run the gamut from the barebones Eee PC 700 (also known as the 2G surf) all the way to the Eee PC 1000, which straddles the line between netbook and a traditional ultraportable laptop. While most models have a solid-state flash memory hard drive, the 1000HD and 1000H models have included a more traditional hard drive, with capacities of 80 or 160GB. Naturally, this adds a little bit of heft and bulk to the Eee PC, but if the thought of limiting yourself to a 2, 4, 6, or 16GB flash drive is simply beyond conception, the option for more space is available. The Asus Eee PC 900 seems like the most appealing series in the line, offering a moderately sized 8.9″ display, 1GB of RAM, and the choice between a Linux operating system or Windows XP (for roughly $50 more).

The Asus Eee PC 901 is a particular standout, as it comes with Intel’s new Atom mobile processor, giving it a slight advantage over the other Celeron based 900 models. Asus Eee netbooks typically cost between $250 and $500, depending on model.

Lenovo Gears Up To Release Linux powered Laptop

Lenovo has just announced that the company will soon start selling its new laptops to businesses and other consumers with pre-installed Linux, which is emerging fast as a successful substitute to Microsoft Windows.

The laptops are ready and will hit our shelves sometimes at the end of this year. Early this year Dell too dropped Linux-powered laptops based on customer suggestions for new products, whose results revealed high Linux PC demands.

Linux was first introduced to the public approximately 16 years ago and was developed by Linus Torvalds who aimed to build a non-commercial substitute for an operating system used in many universities. Primarily, Linux is used to power web servers, the time when its growth on desktop computers was confined as per technology specialists, but its practice by brand names like Lenovo and Dell widened its growth and future prospects.

According to analysts, around 6% of computers users run Linux that is comparatively similar to consumers choosing Apple Macs.
