Sandwiched rather tightly between Sprint on the 7th and HP / Palm on the 9th , Dell just sent out an email blast that it’s planning an event out in the City by the Bay for the 8th of next month. Hard to say whether this’ll be tablets or just buttoned-up laptops and PCs, though, because the graphics starts out with “Dell Means Business” and goes on to say that they’ll be showing off “a new generation of business computing solutions.” Needless to say, we’ll be there to find out.

January 19, 2011 No Comment
Think tablets will kill off the nettop like they’re doing with the netbook ? Think again — well, for now, at least. Compulab has released details of its latest little powerhouse, and this one’s faster than ever despite being less than an inch thick and about six inches across. Maximum spec sees the insertion of an AMD G-series T56N processor, aka the Fusion Zacate , offering dual cores at 1.6GHz while pulling down 18W TDP, paired with a Radeon HD 6310, the two running cool enough to not need a single fan. (It’s the same basic setup found in the HP Pavilion dm1z we recently reviewed.) There’s up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, room for a 2.5-inch HDD, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors, a whopping six USB 2.0 ports, and even dual eSATA if you need external storage. No word on price just yet but it’s said to be “competitive” compared to its predecessors, like the PC2 , which currently costs between $300 and $700 depending on configuration.
