Hewlett Packard has unveiled two thin full-performance notebooks in the market which should add to the everyday mobility and computing needs of consumers today. HP presents the HP ProBook 5310m and HP Pavilion dm3, both slim and stylish which should capture the eye of techie geeks looking for new laptops available in the market.

The HP ProBook 5310m boasts of a 0.9” thin frame which weighs only 3.7 lbs. It comes with a 13.3” diagonal LED HD display and a standard voltage processor for maximum productivity. It comes in two optional processors, an Intel Celeron dual core ($699) and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor ($899) with a battery that can last up to 7 hours of use.

The HP Pavilion dm3 offers a choice between AMD ($549) and Intel ($649) processors and features a 13.3” diagonal LED HD display and a battery that can last up to 10 hours.

Inkia International have revealed their latest 5-inch and 7-inch OEM MID models, each offering Intel Atom processors, 800 x 480 touchscreens and up to 32GB SSDs. The 5-inch model has a choice of Atom Z510, Z520 or Z530 processors, each with the US15W chipset, and measures 6.2 x 3.7 x 0.86 inches; weighing 12.3oz. The 7-inch version has a 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor with the 945GSE chipset, measures 8.0 x 5.1 x 0.81 inches and weighs 1.5lbs.

Each has integrated WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth and GPS, as well as a 0.3-megapixel webcam; the smaller adds a 3.2-megapixel camera, stereo speakers and a microSD card slot, while the larger instead has an SD/MMC card slot, 10/100 ethernet and two USB 2.0 ports. It is likely that Inkia are looking for other firms to acquire one or both of the MIDs and rebrand them, however we may never see either of these released in the US or Europe.

There is a new kind of memory in the market and will certainly rock the configuration of latest CPU specifics today. The new memory is the Corsair Dominator which has just gotten the Intel’s XMP-Ready certification for Core i7 Extreme Edition processors, making it the fastest memory kit to date.

The 6GB Dominator GT 2000MHz CAS 8 (TR3X6G2000C8GTF) is part of Corsair’s award-winning Dominator GT line of hand-screened, hand-tuned, extreme performance DDR3 memory for Core i7 platforms. It is qualified and guaranteed to run at a frequency of 2000MHz with tight timings of 8-8-8-24 at a voltage of 1.65V. The platform used for the Intel qualification was an Asus P6T Deluxe.

We have seen the fast evolution of internal components of the PC industry and for sure, this signals a new birth in the age of memory modules today. All Corsair Dominator GT modules are built using the patent-pending DHX+ heatsink, which uniquely cools both the front and back of the memory ICs, and the printed circuit board, for greater reliability and increased overclocking flexibility.

Expect the Intel Xeon Processors 5500 Series to live up to its billing as Storwize Inc. has optimized their STN-OS operating system software to fully leverage the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series powerful hardware capabilities. Storwize solutions are deployed at hundreds of customer locations worldwide enabling organizations to achieve significant and immediate ROI by dramatically reducing their cost of storage and associated infrastructure footprint, power, cooling, and administrative costs.

Double-digit storage capacity growth and the current economic climate are forcing IT organizations to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of their entire infrastructure. IT organizations are looking to data reduction solutions to reduce their primary and secondary system costs and shortage of electricity for power and cooling, as well physical data center space. But, customers’ biggest concern is the impact data reduction may have on storage and application performance.

“Storwize takes advantage of the intelligent performance features in the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series to deliver advanced capacity optimization solutions,” said Christos Georgiopoulos, general manager Intel’s Developer Relations Division. “We’re excited to work with leading software vendors like Storwize to bring the benefits of these processors to a broad set of customers.”

The Mali-200 and Mali-400 are on schedule to appear in some new cellphones this year. According to ARM’s graphics product manager, Remi Pedersen, these ARM-powered handsets are set to arrive by the end of the year, right in time for Santa. These processors are said to be able to run OpenGL ES 2.0 and run 16 million triangles per second and 275 million pixels per second. He failed to mention which manufacturers are bringing the the new processors but we’ll be here waiting.

While we’re still waiting for Adamo to compare it with the Air other manufacturers could be already designing even slimmer laptops. And Intel has decided to be prepared for them. The company has announced two new processors made with ultra-thin notebooks in mind. These are the 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo SU9600 and the 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo SU3500. We know they cost $289 and $262 respectively, but we don’t know when they’re coming or what will be the first laptops to use them. But we’re certainly looking forward to see who’s going to be the first manufacturer to snatch them.
