HP Leak New Pine Trail Processor Packing Mini 210 HD Netbook

by Jay Garrett on January 2, 2010

CES 2010 is coming round the corner and a HP leak shows outline specs for 8 new machines including the upgraded Mini 210 HD netbook which is now packing the spanky new N450 Pine Trail processor.

The HP Mini 210 HD, which is to be officially announced next week has the 1.66GHz N450 Atom CPU and GMA 3150 graphics.

For those unaware of the Pine Trail processor, the new chip has the same base power as the previous Atoms with the N450 being clocked at 1.66GHz, single-core, with a 512kb cache and supports only DDR2 memory – a max of 2GB. The main thing is that the N450 is half as small as and nearly 20% more efficient than the one it replaces.

The netbook will be available in Sonoma Red, Solid Black, Silver Crystal or Pacific Blue and is priced around $330 and should appear after it goes all official at CES.

New Thinner Unibody Apple iMacs Coming and Death Comes to Mac Mini SKU

by Jay Garrett on September 29, 2009

Mac MiniMore Apple rumours abound after the store went down for a while and nothing happened.

Apparently Apple is telling their direct-sales channels (that’s highstreet Apple stores to you and I) that they won’t be honouring orders for iMacs and Mac Minis in the short term.

Yup – I jumped to the same conclusion that an update is on the horizon!

Could these new iMacs be the thinner Blu-ray packing ones that look more like the LED Cinema Display?

Could these be the ones with the mystery features that make them the “most versatile ever”?

There has even been whispers that it will have that natty unibody build.

Whilst a new line of iMac’s is certainly exciting there has also been word that the little Mac Mini may get a wash and brush up – consisting primarily of component and CPU upgrades and killing off the low-end Mac mini SKU.

Apple is being predictably cagey with the hard specs of the iPhone 3GS.
That doesn’t stop T-Mobile Netherlands from plastering all the hard facts over their site
Fact me now daddy-oh!
