With Acer having the most basic computers on the market, their lineup of laptops have been long overdue for a makeover. Now, with the addition of the TimelineX, we shall see what kind of quality can be expected from this new lineup of laptops.
While Acer Aspire computers have been known to spend quite a bit of time in the repair shops, they are hoping to clear their name with this new line up. The Acer TimelineX comes in a wide range of Intel Core i3 and i5 processors as well as screen sizes. The new features available will suit anybody’s needs as far as size goes, but what about the features on the inside? These include battery life, which according to Acer; can last up to 8 hours, better WIFI capability and a VGA webcam, along with the three USB ports and HDMI output, which allows the user to hook the laptop up to a television.
The Acer Timeline series is completely different from the Aspire series, according to Acer; this computer is to have more power and battery life than the previous models available. Before, the aspire was available with mainly the AMD athlon processor, with the Intel having much better reports, the quality of the Aspire should improve remarkably when this new version is available; even the bottom line of the TimelineX will offer the Core Intel 3 processor standard, completely wiping out AMD from their lineup.
TimelineX will also offer an integrated optical drive, which is not found in any netbooks, making this the smallest laptop to offer an optical drive built in. In addition, the three standard USB ports and HDMI port make this smallest computer to offer this many ports as well. This is sure to make the Acer Aspire TimelineX the most versatile laptop on the market.
The Acer TimelineX is a lightweight, smaller laptop, similar to the netbooks offered with limited capabilities. The new Timelines, however; are available with not only the same software as standard-size computers, but the graphics card is capable of realistic gaming. It is equipped with full DirectX 11 support and switchable graphics, with allows gamers to have the most performance and longer battery life, for not only the best gaming, but the longest gaming as well.
New WIFI capabilities offer 802.11 b/g/n WIFI Certified with turbo fast gigabit Ethernet LAN connectivity. This allows the user to connect from farther from the WIFI port than with the previous models of Acer, in which the user felt lucky to get a connection from the other room.
In addition to all these features, there are new backup features as well, allowing the user to backup data to a hidden partition of the hard drive; where in case it does crash, files will be easily retrieved.
In addition to all the new features, the TImelineX is priced about the same as the previous models. Between price, features and portability, this is by far, the best computer Acer has had on the market. Source: Mini Laptop Computer [http://minilaptopcomputer.org/]

Marking the next step in the “Intel’s product strategy tic-tac” and cadence to deliver a new process technology with an enhanced microarchitecture or entirely new microarchitecture every year, Intel Corporation will begin to produce its Penryn family of next-generation processor in the second half of this year. These new processors benefit from enhancements in the Intel ® Core ™ microarchitecture and 45nm industry leader in technology Intel Hi-k process with its hafnium-based high-K + metal design gate transistor, processors results in higher performance and greater energy efficiency.
Intel has more than 15 designs for 45 nm Hi-k product in the various stages of development, and will have two 45nm manufacturing in production for the end of the year with a total of four in production by the second half of 2008 that will deliver tens of millions of these processors. Below are many of the details of the Penryn processor family and take a look at some of the key features of the next generation of Intel processors, codenamed Nehalem.
Penryn microarchitecture FAMILY INNOVATIONS
a range of products – Six Penryn family processors, including dual-and quad-core desktop and mobile processor Dual-Core are all under the brand name Intel Core processor, as well as new dual and quad-core processor server under the name Intel ® Xeon ® processor brand. A high-end processor server multiprocessing systems is also in development. As noted above, Intel already has a total of 15 45nm products scheduled.
Technical Marvel – next-generation 45nm Intel ® Core ™ 2 Quad-core will have 820 million transistors. With our invention of high-k metal transistor, think of power over 820 million light bulbs on and off the light-speed. The dual-core version has a size of 107mm2, which is 25 percent smaller than Intel’s current 65nm products – and a quarter the size of a postage stamp average U.S. – And operate at equal or lower power than Intel’s current dual-core.
Deep Power Down for Energy Savings, Improved Battery Life – The mobile Penryn processor has a new Advanced management state called Deep Power Down Power Technology that significantly reduces processor power during periods of inactivity so that the internal power transistor leakage is no longer a factor. This helps extend battery life in laptops. This is a great improvement over previous generation Intel processors in the mobile industry leaders.
Intel Dynamic Acceleration Technology Enhanced Performance for single-threaded applications – For the mobile Penryn processor, Intel has improved Intel ® Dynamic Acceleration Technology available in current Intel Core 2 processors. This function uses the height of energy released when a nucleus is made inactive to boost the performance of another still active core. Imagine a shower with two powerful water shower heads, when a shower head off, the other has increased water pressure (performance).
Speeding video, photographic images and high-performance software – Penryn includes Intel ® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 (SSE4) instructions, the largest unique instruction set addition since the original SSE Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). This extends the Intel ® 64 instruction set architecture to improve performance and capabilities of Intel ® architecture.
other technical features to improve performance
Microarchitecture Optimizations – Increases the overall performance and energy efficiency of the already leading Intel Core microarchitecture to deliver more instruction executions per cycle clock, which results in increased performance and quicker PC responsiveness.
Intel ® Virtualization Technology – Penryn speeds up virtual machine transition (entry / exit) on average 25-75 percent. This is all done through microarchitecture improvements and requires no changes to virtual machine software. Virtualization partitions or compartmentalizes a single computer so you can run separate operating systems and software, which can take better advantage of multicore processing power, increase costs and reduce efficiency by allowing a single machine act as many virtual “mini” computers.
higher frequencies – Penryn family of products will deliver higher overall clock frequencies within existing power and thermal envelopes further increase performance. Desktop and server products will introduce speeds exceeding 3GHz.
Division Quick numbers – Penryn-based processors provide fast divider performance, roughly double the speed of divisor on previous generations of calculations used in nearly all applications through the inclusion of a new technique called divide faster Radix 16. The ability to divide instructions and commands faster increases a computer’s performance.
larger caches – Penryn processors include up to an L2 cache of 50 percent larger with a greater degree of associativity to further improve the hit rate and maximize its use. The dual-core Penryn processors will feature up to 6MB of L2 cache and quad-core processors up to 12 MB of L2 cache. Cache is a memory reservoir where frequently accessed data can be stored for faster access. Larger and faster cache sizes speed a computer’s performance and response time.
only Super Shuffle Engine – By implementing a full-width, shuffle unit single-step is 128 bits wide, Penryn processors can perform full-width shuffles in a single cycle. This significantly improves performance for SSE2, SSE3 and SSE4 instructions that have operations such as mixing, as pack, unpack and wider packed shifts. This feature improves performance for content creation, imaging, video and high-performance computing.
< br /> Nehalem microarchitecture
After Penryn and the introduction of 45 nm Hi-k of silicon technology is next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) slated for initial production in 2008. By continuing to innovate at this rapid cadence, Intel will deliver enormous performance and energy efficiency gains in the coming years, adding more performance features and capabilities to new and enhanced applications. Here are some new revelations initial Nehalem microarchitecture around our:

laptop motherboard is the central printed circuit board in a laptop. Usually laptop has plates of different sizes often irregular. The laptop motherboard is the glue that keeps your laptop together. Mother is the only part on the laptop that connects to almost all parts of your computer either directly or indirectly. Motherboard comes in many different types, so the choice of a motherboard can be quite difficult. They differ in size, supporting role, and features. plates Laptop are said to be a central component of your computer either desktop or laptop. motherboards laptop tells you that the hardware in your computer can handle, so it is an important consideration when buying or putting together a team. The important parts laptop you need to know before buying a laptop motherboard.
Factor so:
Motherboards can be classified into different categories based on form factor. Form factor is an important specification of motherboards, since the form factor box tells what kind of computer can be used with the motherboard.
ATX Form Factor: These boards are for teams Full size desktop. This is the most common of all, as ATX motherboards will fit many features in its large 12 “x 9. 6 “dimensions. In most cases that support ATX motherboards also support the Micro-ATX motherboards, as they have similar dimensions, but Micro-ATX is slightly smaller.
Micro-ATX Form Factor: These are for smaller computers. The highest and most common size is 9. 6 “x 9. 6. It is usually bought for less expensive equipment that does not need many features, or where size is a concern.
CPU Socket: is the connection between a CPU and motherboard. Generally, all computers have an outlet. CPU are now owned, support a smaller range of CPU, the same manufacturer. Primarily using two Socket – Intel or AMD.
Chipset: is the set of the two main drivers for the motherboard. The north bridge and south bridge . chipset plays an important role in the functioning of the laptop motherboard.
Memory Support: An important feature of a motherboard is its support RAM memory. Includes RAM, DIMM slots and channel support.
Expansion Slots: allow you to connect multiple external devices eg your laptop TV tuners, video cards, network cards and sound cards.
Once you are well aware of the aforementioned parts of the laptop motherboard, then you can decide what is worth buying the motherboard.

Some of the new features of the Intel X58 motherboard includes memory triple channel, adding the platform for the new LGA 1366 Core i7 Nehalem processors and Intel ’s QPI (QuickPath Interconnect) system. All these new features add sparkle to this new motherboard, and also makes it a fantastic investment if you have the money.
However, this motherboard is not for everyone. There are three factors for this:
1. Money
2. Needs
3. The future
I ‘m going to start talking about money. Now, only the motherboard and processor costs a minimum of $ 500 (which s’ if you have the cheapest X58 motherboard and 920, the minimum Core i7 processor.) Now that ’s only two components, which means that if you have a low budget (in any place less than $ 1,000), is’ already spent half or more than half of its budget. And that ’s just the beginning, and provide some memory (which is still quite expensive), and that takes you up to $ 600. Now, most people are in the low budget and midrange-budget and spending $ 600 in just three components of his new team is a bit ridiculous. Now, if you’re one of those in the range of high budget. . . go ahead, buy the combination. You all watch us drool when we put the team together and see how fast and efficient team carries out his wishes and orders.
Now, the second factor is necessary. At this time, the X58 motherboard in combination with the Core i7 and triple channel memory capacity absolutely destroy any competition you have in your path. Now, if you’re out for the best of the best and not have to worry about money, then that ’s no problem. However, we also have to think about more than performance. More performance is basically where the team is too good for anything throw at it (programs, multitasking, etc.) with more power than you need. Now, if you’re going to play some games and do some Internet surfing, then it would be obvious that the combination, the processor itself can handle up to 8 threads, and we’ll probably just use one two wires max. Now, if you’re constantly video editing, Photoshop-ing, high quality games, and many things at once, then you may want to invest in this combination.
Now, the future. When I talk about “” future, I mean in terms of what Intel will launch, and when Intel releases new things. They also include things such as price and performance. How long until Intel releases a new processor and motherboard best (restored version)? How much will it cost the new technology? Will it fit in your budget? How are these new releases compared to the current Core i7 Nehalem processors and X58 motherboards? Well, that s’ at the store in the future, we will not know until Intel says.
