Announced: Toshiba Satellite U200

Looks like Toshiba has announced another Intel Core Duo ultraportable, the Toshiba Satellite U200. This time around it’s only a notebook and not a convertible/Tablet PC (like the Toshiba M400. It has a 12.1-inch “TruBrite” widescreen display (1280×800), and is powered by a range of processors, from Intel’s Celeron M 420 up through Intel’s Core Solo and Core Duo lineup. The harddrive is a Serial-ATA (SATA) and ranges in size from 40GB up through 120GB.

AMD’s Dual-Core Turion 64 X2 CPU

Looks like AMD beat Intel to the punch – TG Daily has as the announcement that AMD has released the first 64-bit Dual Core CPU for the mobile market. Of note, the power consumption matches Intel’s Core Duo power consumption.

Announced: Apple MacBook (13.3-inch)

Apple has finally announced their Intel-powered iBook replacement (iBook = low-end/consumer lineup if you will). It’s the 13.3-inch widescreen (glossy) MacBook. You can choose either a .183GHz Intel Core Duo T2400 CPU or a 2.0GHz T2500, and the price runs from $1099 through $1499 (or higher depending on options – those are base models).

Announced: Sony VAIO UX Micro PC (UX180P)

Sony has come out with a spectacular little Micro Portable device. It’s not really an Ultra Mobile PC (Origami), and it’s not really a notebook – it’s similar to the OQO Model 01+. It is powered by an Intel Core Solo U1400 processor (1.2GHz), with 512MB memory, 30GB harddrive, and has a 4.5-inch widescreen 800×600 or 1024×600 or touchscreen display. I’m going to cover it for now because it’s got a keyboard which seperates it from the UMPCs.
