Q. I am willing to wait a few months if the new models are on the horizon. Key features I hope to see in the new models:
1. Higher resolution displays, like the new iPad
2. External-only DVD/CD drive to reduce weight, since that's only used during s/w installation or ripping music CDs.
3. 7200rpm basic hard drive
4. Memory capacity exceeding 8gb, 4 memory slots
5. Longer life batteries
A. I would guess within next 30 to 60 days or so as the rumor is an April/May release. Some features included.
"Chip availability for revamped MacBook Pro models is a bit uncertain, as Intel has not specifically addressed the timeline for quad-core mobile processors such as those found in the current 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro. Dual-core processors such as those found in the smaller 13-inch MacBook Pro do seem to have been pushed back a bit, although it is possible that Apple could squeeze a quad-core Ivy Bridge chip into the 13-inch MacBook Pro as Intel is releasing a chip with a somewhat lower 35-watt thermal design requirement. "
and devices will be slimmer, i doubt it will get the same display as the new Ipad though.
How is the ipad as a computer and an itouch?
Q. How is it. Tell me EVERYTHING about it.
A. To understand the answer , you need to understand what's computer. If something is not running intel processor that doesn't mean it's not a computer.
Other answerer said it's powerless, why do you need hefty power if it's cloud based computing. Does he know new WebDAV server technology which is future ?
iPad is a computer and it runs a different operating system from existing ones so of course the way you do things on it, is different from conventional systems.
It's has iWork that lets you create MS Word Document,Spreadsheet and Presentation. I create everyday for my work and I find it easier than creating on laptop.
You can access any WebDAV server and upload your work in flash.I often join meeting on iPad remotely using WebEx or GoToMeeting.
Many people talk about lack of flash on iPad but that doesn't make any difference. You can stream full length movies and tv shows directly on iPad without a problem and I love watching movies and tv shows on iPad because I there is no pop ups and annoying flash based ad banner or commercial.
You can do almost everything that you do on computer on regular basis except downloading useless software from web. Instead of downloading software from web, you need to download apps from App store which is better because you never need to worry about spyware,virus.
You can download movies from the web to iPad so don't believe people who have never seen an iPad but just give comments.
Camera kit is available for $29 that allows you to connect camera and memory card to iPad to import photos and videos.
iPad supports external keyboard but I prefer on device touch keyboard I can type 70 words / minute which means typing is a pleasure on iPad.
Gaming is incredible and it's a boon for book lovers.Reading was never such a pleasure as it's on iPad.
App Desktop is amazing because it lets you divide the screen in two parts, on one part you can browse the Internet and on the other use any widget like calculator,unit converter,translator or something else with radio playing at background.
Battery life is spectacular. It gives me 15 hours at on charge and I use it heavily.
Unlike ,iPod Touch , you can create playlist and move songs, right on device.
On iPod touch , when you open mail, you can't save email attachment but on iPad you can save any attachment to any supporting app.
Does the Dell Inspiron Duo come in different sizes?
Q. I was wondering if the Dell Inspiron Duo came in different sizes,
and if so what sizes are they?
Also, what is the standard size for the Duo?
The only cons I have read about for the Duo is
- battery life (which I'm not worried about)
- Not being able to change the battery by yourself
- having only two USB slots
- Keyboard is hard to see (gray text on black)
That's it. Is there any other cons about the Duo?
Please help, any Duo owners :]
Thank you very much!
A. Hi, I got a Dell Inspiron Duo about 3 weeks ago. So far I am very pleased and have had no troubles with it.
The Dell Duo only comes in one size, a 10.4 inch screen. This is sized as a net book for portability but the graphics resolution is greater (1366 x 768) than a standard net book so you can see more information at any one time.
The battery life is ok. I can get over 6 hours out of mine if I turn of the wireless antenna when not in use and only use the programs I need at any given time. No, you can not change the battery yourself, kind of like an iPad or iPhone.
Yes, 2 USB slots can be restrictive. I use an external drive so I don't clog up my hard drive and this allows the processor to use the hard drive as a cache when it needs it. You can get a usb splitter if you need to connect more accessories.
Keyboard seems fine to me.
The only other drawback is that the webcam is mounted in the bezel so when you want to use it, you have to be in laptop mode and not tablet.
Other than that it is a great little laptop. It's great having the power of a mid-range laptop in a net book and the touch screen is better than most. The casing and finish is of a very high quailty.
There is a full review and specification list at www.dellduo.co.uk.
All in all, a great little toy!
