Read more.Plus old HDD tech revival for Q2 Ultrabooks.
I thought Ultrabooks needed an i5 as a minimum?
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Great idea.
Almost all computers sold today are chronically overpowered for the user's needs. So to sell what people actually want/need is always a good idea.
Nope. Historically celerons haven't been that good for battery life for doing day to day tasks, the limited cache really hinders things.
The i5 for most people are overpowered 90% of the time, but 10% of the time they really aren't. The burst of for less than 1 second when opening a browser for instance is mostly CPU with even a humble SSD.
Then throw in this whole HTML5 malarky. I say this because there is a huge anti-flash bandwagon, I love it, I don't make it mind, but I love how simple flashblock makes the web, no CPU eating nonsense for me on my ultrabook, but I'm an exception, most people don't mind it, as soon as adverts and the like move on to HTML5, just watch the power required for a good browsing experiance rise, but also the complexity of a webpage. My point is that for the 'modern' web people need the faster CPUs with more cache. Also given that the CPU isn't really the most important part of the netbook cost, and we've already got the i3 for the cheaper end, this really isn't going to be good, it will instead I'd suggest allow the price of the i5 ones to go up.
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
if they could get a decent balance and keep battery life high....then I'm all for a slightly cheaper ultrabook...but I'd also look at a new title, say not so ultra book? Need more work I feel
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
Apart from the battery life comment, what a load of ill informed bile.
Nothing has changed sufficiently in the last 3-4 years to need such a hike in power. Not flash and definitly not HTML 5.
If the needs haven't changed, the requirements are still the same. Please dont try and enforce people into buying things they dont need. If one of the problems with 'IT professionals', they have no idea what people actually want.
