Intel Yonah Launch Date – CoolTechZone

CoolTechZone.com is reporting that Intel’s new CPU, code-named Yonah, is set to be launched in less than a month, on January 6th. They believe it will be launched in India, but have this to say about a launch in the US: Knowing that the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2006) will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada around the same timeframe, it makes sense for Intel to do a simultaneous launch in the U.S. as well.

Review: Fujitsu LifeBook P1510 (www.hardwarezone.com)

Fujitsu P1510D
Yet another review of the Fujitsu LifeBook P1510/P1510D – this time from www.hardwarezone.com. The P1510 is one of the smallest “convertible” ultraportables, with an 8.9-inch widescreen display, and is powered by Intel’s Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) Pentium M CPUs. They gave it a positive review, saying Its diminutive size, light weight and touch-sensitive display are features that many would love in a Tablet PC and the design is something to be lusted after.

They mention the P1510 as replacing a Tablet PC, Notebook, and PDA, saying the beautiful ultra-portable LifeBook P1510 may just take the cake as the ultimate Tablet PC that isn’t a Tablet PC. Two weaknesses are mentioned, performance and battery life, but Fujitsu would probably argue that those are due more to the size than anything else – it would be hard to increase battery capacity or change CPUs without going up in size and weight.

Review: Fujitsu LifeBook T4020D (ABC News/PC Magazine)

Fujitsu LifeBook T4000 T4020
ABC News/PC Magazine has published a review by Cisco Cheng, of the Fujitsu LifeBook T4020D, the 12.1-inch convertible laptop/Tablet PC with an optical drive and powered by a Pentium M (1.73GHz or 2.0GHz). They call it a fine system for everyday computing. This is identical to the T4020, except for the wireless options (as far as we’ve been able to ascertain).

Screen wise, they mention is that Fujitsu uses what it calls a “casual outdoor” screen, a glass screen with a special coating that lets light pass through more uniformly in outdoor situations. and that it’s not ideal for pictures and movies; it is better suited for reading and writing, especially in outdoor situations.
