Linked by Amjith Ramanujam on Wed 16th Jul 2008 22:22 UTC
Intel After a few delays and tons of rumors, Intel's fifth generation notebook platform has arrived. Centrino 2, previously known as Montevina, comes with with it a line of new Core 2 Duo processors, upgraded graphics and Wi-Fi, and DDR3 RAM. One of the first notebooks to be released with Centrino 2 is Lenovo's newest ThinkPad, the X200. This is the update to the X61 which not only had all the new Centrino gear, but moves to a widescreen display.

Perhaps a bit OT, but is it just me who prefers laptop displays with 4:3 (or 5:4) aspect ratio to 16:10? They're getting increasingly difficult to find nowadays. I want height, not width.


It depends on whether I'm editing code or photos. For photos, the width is necessary to give the tools and palettes room. Whatever the case, please give me a matte display and a decent resolution. 1280x800 on a 15.4 inch display is hardly worth having. 1440x900 is a bit better.

Glad to see that we have a new set of processors for the games to suck dry. Last year's games might have a fighting chance soon without breaking the bank.
