Intel will roll out Vista internally only once the first service pack of the operating system has been released, and Dell is likely to do the same.
Intel's next-generation notebook product will have an integrated 3G chip from Nokia and improved graphics support for Microsoft's Windows Vista, the company announced on Wednesday in the US.
Microsoft has denied Sony's claim that the current release of Vista supports neither Intel's Turbo Memory technology nor hybrid hard drives.
Improvements to the processor, chipset and wireless components of Intel's latest mobile platform should result in a new generation of faster notebooks with longer battery life. Business systems will also get Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) for the first time, while Turbo Memory should reduce the frequency of hard disk accesses, saving power and boosting performance.
The Fujitsu LifeBook S6410 boasts a brilliant screen, good performance, and useful features -- but we've seen better from the company.
The ASUS W7S offers powerful performance in a small portable package, and considering that it has discrete graphics, we were surprised it had excellent battery life.
As possibly the only 14.1-inch machine to hold the powerful Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS graphics card, the JoyBook S41 offers fantastic performance for a portable unit. If only it had dedicated multimedia buttons and better internal speakers.
If you want performance in a desktop replacement form factor then the Toshiba Satellite P200 is a good option, if not a particularly stylish one.
This is a handsome and very usable Tablet PC, thanks to its excellent screen and keyboard. Battery life and performance are both a little disappointing, though, and the price becomes steep as you add in the options.
