Dell responds to latest capacitor-related fallout, ignores the whole lying to consumers part

Admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 08:09:00 +0000

The “capacitor plague” issue of the early 2000′s has started to resurface, not thanks to another batch of bogus orange-hued electrolytes popping free, but this time thanks to the release of documents relating to a three year-old Dell lawsuit. As we reported earlier this week , those docs show that Dell asked customer service reps to deny there was any problem with their motherboards, telling them to pretend they’d never heard about the issue and to “emphasize uncertainty.” Now, Dell is responding to the latest flare up — sort of

Admin — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 03:47:00 +0000

It’s akin to clockwork, as they say — Maingear , iBuyPower and CyberPower have all decided to pump out new and / or revised gaming desktops based on AMD’s latest and greatest (and cheapest, some would argue) six-core processor, barely waiting 24 hours to do the honors. The Phenom II X6 1090T certainly has the whole low-price thing going for it, enabling this trio of PC builders to offer up complete systems starting at under $1,000. Maingear’s new Limited Edition Vybe packs a $999 price tag, USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps support, ATI’s Radeon 5000 series graphics, a DVD burner, 640GB WD Caviar Black SATA 6G hard drive and 4GB of DDR3 RAM

Gateway brings back business division with DT, DS-series desktops

Angel — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 03:29:00 +0000

In 2007 — right before Acer swallowed the firm whole — computer manufacturer Gateway sold their entire business lineup to MPC . Three years and one bankrupt MPC later, Gateway’s ready to give it another go with brand new business desktops, and some decently specced ones at that. The new Gateway DT-series mid-towers support up to Core i7 CPUs and 16GB of DDR3 memory alongside a 1TB hard drive, and wonder of wonders, the small form factor Gateway DS-series can hold just the same

Lenovo C200 brings NVIDIA Ion 2 stateside for $499

Admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 00:02:00 +0000

If you’ve been patiently waiting on a low-cost NVIDIA Ion 2 system it looks like today is your lucky day since it looks like Lenovo has scored an early lead in unleashing the wrath of the new Atom / GeForce combo. Available sometime this month, the 18.5-inch C200 all-in-one isn’t going to replace that Core i7 rig for ripping through Command & Conquer 4, but its Intel dual-core Atom D510 CPU can handle the light productivity while its GeForce G210 GPU will automatically turn on — thanks to Optimus — to deal with some Spore or 1080p video. Unfortunately the C200 only has a single touch, 1366×768-resolution display and a standard integrated DVD drive rather than Blu-ray, but we guess we can’t expect much more for its appealing $499 price tag
