Acer Aspire One 533 to Feature DDR3 Ram

Acer is planning to launch Aspire One 533 netbook with DDR3 memory. Currently none of the Acer netbooks support DDR3 RAM which is good for long battery life. DDR3 memory consumes less power, and thus, increasing the battery back up. So, it could be an added advantage for those who often need to work on the go.

The 10.1-inch netbook features Intel GMA 3150 graphics. Bluetooth 3.0 is also an option for the users. Acer Aspire One 533 features either Atom N455 1.66GHz or Atom N475 1.83GHz processor. Both the processors are from Intel’s new Atom series.

The biggest advantage of the netbook is its around 10-hour long back up thanks to the DDR3 memory. Acer has not yet revealed the launch date or price of the netbook.

Asus Eee PC 1015P and 1015PE with 13.5-hour Battery Life Announced

Asus has added two new netbooks to its popular Eee PC line up. The two 10.1-inch netbooks: Asus Eee PC 1015P and Eee PC 1015PE- come from its Seashell family, featuring Intel Pine Trail processors. Asus claims that both the netbooks will come with 13.5-hour battery back up. No doubt, this would be the most attractive feature of the two netbooks. Let us see what the two netbooks feature:

Display

Eee PC 1015P and 1015PE feature 10.1-inch LED Backlight WSVGA screen with 1024x600 pixel resolution. Users are more likely to enjoy a satisfactory viewing experience, compared to other netbooks with same size display.

Processor

Both the netbooks feature Intel Atom Pine View-M N450 1.66GHz processor which is capable of preserving battery life. Pine View platform is Intel’s latest for the netbooks and N450 is perhaps one of the best in the Atom line up.

RAM and Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

Users have the choice between 1GB or 2GB DDR2 memory for the two netbook models. When it comes to storage, users have 3 options: 160GB, 250GB and 320GB- alongside 500GB Asus web storage.

Graphics

Both the netbooks will feature integrated graphics from Intel. Well, the integrated graphics may not be best of the graphics, but still it is for netbook which users should not any complain about.

Keyboard

Keyboard is another attractive feature of the two new netbooks. Generally, netbook keboards are not very comfortable for typing because of the small size of the keys. However, the Eee PC 1015P and 1015PE feature relatively large keys that users would find very comfortable to type. Unlike predecessor Eee PC 1005PE-P which features island style keys, the new Eee PC models come with keyboard where keys are lying at the base.

Operating System, Network and Ports

Asus features Windows 7 starter edition for both the Eee PC 1015P and 1015PE netbooks. For network and communication, the netbooks have Wi-Fi 802.11n, LAN port, Bluetooth 2.1 and VGA port. Among other features include 0.3 megapixel webcam, 3 USB 2.0 ports, headphone and microphone jacks and multi card reader. Asus also features stereo speakers with Hi-Definition Audio CODEC for entertainment.

Battery

The biggest attraction is six-cell 63Wh battery which ensures, as Asus claims, 13.5-hour of battery back up. That means, the battery charge will last for a full working day. So, users can carry either of the two models without worrying about the netbook charge.

Overall, there is no difference between Asus Eee PC 1015P and 1015PE in terms of features, except two differences in terms of color and design. Asus is yet to announce the launch date and prices of the two new Eee PC netbooks.

AMD to Unveil Power Efficient New Processor Very Soon

In its bid to gain more market share in the consumer market, AMD is now all set to launch a new set of processors which will not be power hungry and provide better battery back up for the laptops. In fact, AMD would install the new processors in 109 different laptop models this year. So, it is clear that AMD’s performance this year would be far better than the last year when it could install its processors only in 40 laptop models.

Well, that does not mean that AMD has come close to its rival Intel which has a whopping 87.8% share in the chipset market in the first quarter of the year. AMD, on the other hand, holds only 12.1% of the market share. Still, one can say that AMD is trying its best to push more into the processor market. However, while AMD is trying to make more space in the consumer CPU market, it is losing its hold in the served-based processor market where Intel is dominating with full swing.

AMD may see better performance this year, but one thing is true that the American company needs to do more to get to reach even close to Intel which is in terms of market share is the best chipset maker in the world now. To minimize the gap, AMD’s R&D department should come up with cutting-edge technology for the users.
