Traveling with the MacBook Air Butt Kicking Dell Adamo 9.99

Traveling with the MacBook Air Butt Kicking Dell Adamo 9.99

Most thin notebooks are hot and some are really noisy, the 9.99 is neither. While I’m kind of missing the ability to use this as an iron or a somewhat reliable birth control method I’m appreciating that it only gets hot in areas that don’t touch me and is dead quiet. Granted I kind of missed the drunken gerbil on a treadmill sound that many notebooks put out in my hotel room but I got over it in like 10 seconds.

Best Feature
The best feature has to be the electronic latch. One swipe of your finger and the keyboard drops out of the screen easily without the typical gymnastics of trying to both hold a latch and lift the screen or pry the notebook open.

Dell Adamo XPS Review: New Dell Adamo XPS Laptop Wows at Just 9.99mm Thin

Dell Adamo XPS Review: New Dell Adamo XPS Laptop Wows at Just 9.99mm Thin

In our new Dell Adamo XPS review, we review the Dell Adamo XPS laptop and find it bests Apple’s MacBook Air by a mile, but still makes a functional laptop computer.

I’ve been playing with the Dell 9.99 for about a week now, and this product defines amazing. If you thought the MacBook Air was thin, this is about half the thickness of the Air. Dell pulled this off by increasing the length of the notebook, but this also raises the screen in use to a much more acceptable height for most notebooks. Because this thing is so different than the run-of-the-mill notebook product, both inside and out, words and pictures don’t really do it justice. You really need to see it in person.

A-DATA Introduces Industry’s Fastest SSD S596 | NordicHardware

Taipei, Taiwan – A-DATA Technology Co., Ltd., the worldwide leader in DRAM memory and Flash application products, announced today its industry-leading SSD S596, a 2.5” STATII SSD designed specifically for PC enthusiastic, multi-task and heavy-graphic users to perform assorted applications five times faster!
Tie the loose end and deliver high performance truly
Delivering sequential read and write speed up to 250 MB/sec and 180 MB/sec, the S596 eases the bottleneck conventional HD causes. The S596 utilizes the next generation of Flash technology and DDR2 SDRAM cache buffer to provide an amazingly fast boot-up time at 20 seconds on platforms running Windows 7, a 40% performance improvement compared to platform equipped with ordinary SSD.

Designers and heavy PC users liberated
Ever wonder why a system equipped nothing but grade A components never quite keep up with one’s expectation? Simply put, the HD running averagely between 30-50MB/sec is choking the process. With A-DATA’s S596, one can multi task and switch between graphic-editing software such as Photoshop, illustrator, AutoCAD, or 3D max gracefully with only one fourth (1/4) of the original processing time. No more tiresome waiting!
