New Laptop

New Laptop 06/16/2004 12:31 AM
Just in time for JavaOne, I got me a new Thinkpad R50 laptop (specs here, but with 512Mb). At 6.8lbs it's a bit heavier than the T41 I initially considered, but the $200+ price difference just didn't seem worth it for what (weight aside) is effectively the same machine... It's a pretty sweet little machine: very good battery life, a... (302 words)

Weaning off laptop

Weaning off laptop 06/19/2004 06:10 AM

I have been using laptops primarily for the past few years and now I am planning to return to desktops.  Why?  Because laptops are difficult to upgrade and I am tired of paying too much to replace broken parts or batteries dying over time.  The control key on my current laptop, a Dell Inspiron 8000, is sticky and I can't fix it without sending my laptop off.  Fans (yup, it has two) and hard drives turning on and off is annoying too.

I have been eyeing the 17-inch PowerBook but Windows is my primary target environment so I can't just replace my laptop with the PowerBook.  So I am going to get a desktop, not the most powerful one available, but one that hits the Sweet Spot.  I think that means 3.2 GHz Pentium 4.  So far I am looking at Dell Dimension 8300 with 2 gig of memory, 400G disk.  Since I am addicted to 1600x1200 resolution and LCD (read ClearType), I'll have to get one of those 20-inch LCD and match that with Radeon 9800 GPU.  Even with fastest optical drives (CD/DVD-RW), total cost is around $2400 which is pretty good deal I think.

Only problem is that the price keeps dropping.  Longer I hold off on getting it, the cheaper it gets.  It's amazing that with such a strong incentive not to press the submit button, the computer industry still humms along.  How crazy is that?

After I finish making the transition to the desktop, maybe I'll get the PowerBook (why the heck does it support only 1440x900?) with the excuse that I'll be writing some OS X software.  At least that's the line I am going to use on my wife.  OS X software market is going to explode, honey!

Finally someone has developed a 100 gig 2.5 inch hard-drive. Time will tell how these will perform. Japanese techies are going to get a shot at them first but they will not be cheap. [Engadget]

PowerPizza Laptop Box

PowerPizza Laptop Box 07/09/2004 10:22 AM

If you've got no concern for your laptop at all, please purchase and enjoy one of these corrugated cardboard PowerPizza boxes. Although they look sturdy enough, I'm thinking we're probably looking at novelty use, unless you find big pizza boxes the perfect form factor for hauling through subways or airports. Purchase now for £12.99 and they'll get it to you in 28 days or less -- or the next one is the same price. May or may not be used to calculate the value of pi. (Thanks, Dave!)

Is That A Laptop Or A Phone?

Is That A Laptop Or A Phone? 02/19/2004 11:28 AM
Intel is now pushing computer makers to build phones directly into laptops. At first, I wondered why this was necessary, since it's easy enough to install a softphone - but they're actually talking about the hardware aspect. The idea is that on the cover of the laptop, you'd have a screen and phone buttons, and the system could be used even if the computer was in sleep mode. Initially, the phone would be a VoIP phone, but they also want to add cellular service. The screen also will integrate with some email programs so you could check your email without opening up the computer. While this certainly has a novelty factor, I wonder how big a market there really is for such things. Most people who would be remotely interested in this have a mobile phone already. Are they really going to be that interested in adding additional phone service just for their computer? Also, the way this offering is described, it sounds like it's only really useful if the laptop is closed.
