Worlds Cheapest Laptop.

In the world of cheap laptops the TNX-9500 is the newest thing on the market. The Windows XP- powered unit isn't as cheap as say the Del Mini 9 on sale. But $199 is pretty cheap.

As reports surface. It seems that the new laptop is rumored to have some issues; it beeps continuously for several minutes when it is first turned on, the 1GHz no-name processor seems very unwilling to run Internet Explorer. Rumors also say that there is a howling sound being produced by the always-on microphone feeding back through the speakers.

No date has been set for Production. But rumor has it that it will be ramping up soon and the price is said to be dropping even more. Is that even possible? Hopefully when the Impulse TNX-9500 enters full production, all the flaws will be ironed out. And it will be cheaper than the price stated to make it worth a purchase.

Dell Adamo

Dell has just opened up the pre orders for the new Adamo Laptop. Dell’s new Adamo laptop was built from the ground up to look amazing. The laptop comes in two colors so far silver and black. It looks really great it reminds me a lot of the Macbook Air. Dell sacrificed a lot of performance to make this laptop slim and light. The starting price for a Dell Adamo is $2000 and with that you really do not get anything more impressive than your budget notebook.

The stock $2000 build comes with a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo Processor, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 128GB Solid State Drive, The more expensive $2700 build comes with 1.4GHz Processor, 4GB RAM, and mobile broadband. The display resolution is 1366x768 and the laptop comes with integrated graphics, go figure. Also the notebook is 13.4 inches wide so this is pretty much just a luxury netbook.

If anyone is considering a purchase of the Dell Adamo, I hope they have more money than they know what to do with; as the only thing I see going for this laptop are its good looks.

MacBook Pro Goes Green

Everybody wants to be green these days in everything they do. They need all of their tools, clothes, food, and other things to be enviornmentally safe. Well thanks to Apple, now their laptops can be green as well.

Apple's MacBook Pro is designed with the enviornment in mind. First of all, the MackBook Pro is built with mercury-free LED technology and arsenic-free glass. The circuit boards, internal cables, connectors, insulators, shock mounts, adhesives, and other parts are all free of brominated flame retardents and polyvinyl chloride.

Th MacBook Pro is also highly recyclable. It uses a precision unibody enclosure that is formed from a single piece of recyclable aluminum. The display, as forementioned, is also recyclable. Since most batteries are designed to be replaced every couple of years, most of them are discarded. The battery in the MacBook Pro, however, lasts up to 5years or an amazing 1,000 charges!

EPEAT is the Electronic Product Enviornmental Assessment Tool. It evaluates the enviornmental impact of a product based on how recyclable it is, how much energy it uses, and how it is designed and manufactured. Every MacBook Pro has earned the EPEAT Gold rating, which is the highest. Few products recieve this rating and barely any are notebooks.

The MacBook Pro is also ENERGY STAR certified. The hard drive on the Pro spins down automatically when inactive and also decides whih processor, either CPU or GPU, to use that will work the best for a task which reduces energy. Other systems that reduce energy is the LCD screen, which dims when you enter a drakened room, a processor that throttles down between keystrokes, and it uses about one-third the power of a single lightbulb.

Needless to say the MacBook Pro is green to the extreme. Its so green even its packaging is enviormentally friendly. The boxes are made smaller. This may seem like a little detail but because the box is smaller it means that more can be put on a single shipping pallet which lets more pallets fit on a plane or boat which means less planes and boats have to go out resulting in less C02 emissions which makes the Earth just that much greener.

If your an enviornmentalist, a "green freak", or just want to make a difference then you should definatley check out Apple's MacBook Pro, the greenest notebook on the market.
