Microsoft Kin One & Two

Posted by NgocT on April 12th, 2010 No Comments

What is it?
I am not sure if Microsoft likes to fail or I am not their target market, but the Microsoft Kin One and Two seems like it belongs to back when the T-Mobile Sidekick was first introduced. When there are operating systems like the iPhone OS 4 and Android and super phones like the Sprint EVO 4G on the horizon, the Kin One and Two seems like a kid’s toys.

What it has?
- GSM 850/900/1800/1900
- HSDPA
- 16M colors TFT touchscreen
- Memory: 4GB for One / 8GB for Two
- Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
- Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP
- USB 2.0
- Camera: 5MP for One / 8MP for Two
- Video: Standard for One / 720p for Two
- Some variant of Windows 7 Phone OS
- GPS
- Social networking out the ying yang

What it needs?
I am glad that Microsoft tries to do something different with their User Interface instead of doing something similar to the iPhone (i.e. Android and WebOS), but I think the solution Microsoft came up with, which started with the Zune, is a confusing panoramic-crazed step-child.

As for the phones, when you all you have are two mediocre ones, it is best to just shoot out a press release and let it be. To create an Apple-like launch event for it is just a waste of time. Then again, what do I know, I am not the one with millions of dollar to spend on market and consumer research.

What it has?
- Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz

For the M series to be a better netbook, it definitely needs to have SSD and a 3G or 4G card. I rather have that then large HDD, 3 USB ports, and Bluetooth.

Posted by NgocT on March 9th, 2010 No Comments

What is it?
The MSI X-Slim X360 is the 2010 update to their ultra-thin X-Slim laptop series. The hardware upgrade is personally exciting to me because I am using the lowly X320 with a Core 2 Solo!!

What it has?
- Windows 7 Home Premium
- Intel Core i5-520UM processor
- Chipset Intel HM55
- Graphic Intel HD Graphic
- 4GB DDRIII SO-DIMM
- 13″ HD (Glare type) 1366×768
- 2.5″ 250/320/500 GB SATA
- Card reader 2 in 1 (support SD/MMC)
- HDMI, D-sub, USB 2.0 x 2, Mic-in, Headphone out, RJ-45

What it needs?
MSI – you could of made the X360 very desirable by using SSD instead of HDD, an anti-glare screen, and the final version of Wireless N. These additions would allow the X360 to compete directly with the Adamo and Macbook Air.

Samsung Go N315

What is it?
The Samsung GO N315 is a netbook that is touting some trivial features like Times Reader 2.0 and “Pebble” keyboard which gives individual keys more space so that users can type more effectively.

What it has?
- Microsoft Windows 7 Starter
- Intel ATOM Processor N450
- 1GB (DDR2 / 1 GB x 1)
- 10.1″ WSVGA (1,024 x 600), LED Back Light
- Intel GMA3150
- 250GB HDD (5,400 rpm SATA)

- 10.3″ x 7.3″ x 1.1″ at 2.71 lbs
- Webcam
- 4.5 hours of battery life

What it needs?
The Samsung GO N315 will costs around $450, which is on the high end for netbooks and being a netbook means you do not need that much onboard memory. Samsung needs to swap out the HDD for a smaller sized SSD and make this netbook thinner and lighter.
