The fastest Netbook : HP mini 311

Today's netbook standard for the CPU is the Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz, which is an upgraded version of the Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz. While that additional .06 does not make those netbooks equipped with the N280 the fastest netbooks, it still gives minor speed improvement.

If we are to look into other specs of a netbook's CPU, we should also pay attention to the clock frequency of its Front-Side Bus or FSB. Not all Intel Atom N280 CPUs are clocked similarly. Some are clocked lower than the others. Using this as a basis of our netbook speed criteria, let's take a look at the FSB specs of today's top netbook picks.

It might be a joke for those who have already dealt with workstation , server, or even gaming desktop, but, the capacity of the netbook, especially its ultra-mobility performance among other brothers really a significant feature of its niche. Normally, all netbooks are the same, powered by Intel atom 1.6 Ghz or 1.66 Ghz and 2 GB RAM. However, for HP 311, the latest netbook, might give some good point to compare between netbooks available in the market, about who is the best?

By fully powered by NVidia ION based GPU,  HP Mini 311 perform impressively during demos, but now that the netbook is hitting reviewers it’s time for some real benchmarks — and according to the crew at Laptop, they’re more than solid. The 311 scored a 1,917 on the PCMark 05 test, almost 500 points above the average netbook, and put up a scorching 1,386 in the 3DMark06 test — 1,200 points over the netbook average, and basically the same score as a MacBook Air. That’s not too surprising, seeing as ION is just a netbook-oriented variant of the GeForce 9400M, but it’s still rather impressive — and combined with 1080p video playback, the potential for some light gaming, and (eventually) ION-accelerated Flash, we’d say the Mini 311 is looking like a real contender.

Nvidia ION-based processors turn up the visuals on compact, low-power PCs with performance up to 10X faster than similar systems. When combined with a low-power CPU like Intel Atom, ION graphics processors transform traditional under-performing PC designs into a premium experience. Discover new ION-based PCs that are small in size but big in performance.

Soon, TV will be televised

Video iPods are the bee’s knees, the cat’s meow, and the aardvark’s pajamas. You can watch video podcasts, hit TV shows, and movies stored magically on that itty bitty little device. The one drawback with this medium is the size - the actual physical size of the screen is so small, you may find yourself holding the iPod right up against your nose to see anything.

We’ve got just the thing - video goggles that plug directly into your video iPod and project a virtual 24 inch TV directly in front of you! That’s right - plugged directly into your iPod - no extra cables, adapters, or bulky power-packs necessary. These goggles don’t even have batteries - they draw power directly from your iPod.

Don’t worry - they draw so little power, you probably won’t even notice it. A 5th gen 30 Gigabyte iPod Video can run more than 2 hours, while the 80 Gigabyte iPod Video can run more than 4!

Watch your favorite episode of The Office, catch up on Lost, or even watch Blade Runner for the upteen millionth time - whatever you want! Just please don’t wear them while driving or operating any other heavy machinery.

Standard Specifications
Display format:	320 x 240 , 24-bit color, 50–60 Hz frame rate
Optics:	Dual color LCDs SolidOptex™ Optical System
Image size:	Equivalent to 24 inch TV at approx. 2 m.
Video input:	Auto sense and switch between NTSC and PAL
Operating temperature:	32 to 104ºF (0 to 40ºC)
Storage temperature:	-4 to 140ºF (-20 to 60ºC)

Nokia X6 think his touch screen is greater

Nokia X6 claims that the capacitive touchscreen is far more responsive to human touch than the resistive screens found on its N97, or the 5800 XpressMusic especially. This was made abundantly clear when using the on-screen keyboard although some of our swiping gestures were inexplicably ignored in other elements of the interface. But given the choice of the screen being awesome or super-awesome (remember, we’re comparing it to Nokia’s resistive touchscreen legacy), we’ll have to settle on the former for now. Of course, underneath you’ve still got S60 5th, for better or worse, pumping away inside a chubby little candybar — no screen tech can change that. See the action in the video after the break then jump into the gallery to see it sized up with a few of its S60 cousins five times removed.

Nokia’s just confirmed on its official blog that the X6 will hit shelves in Finland and the UK starting next week, with other countries to follow soon after
