The latest Zepto thin-and-light--the Znote G14b--has some serious ambitions. Billed as the fastest 14-inch notebook, the Danish maker considers this machine with its docking solution powerful enough to replace the home desktop computer. With a combination of high-end Nvidia GeForce graphics engine and up to 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo processor, none of its competitors comes close in terms of raw power (most thin-and-lights top out at 2.66GHz chip).

The starting price is surprisingly affordable at S$1,449 (US$1,043.35) despite its high-end Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT and 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo processor.

Windows 7 activation hacked

Dong Ngo | Jul 30, 2009

Microsoft only just released final code for Windows 7 to manufacturers and the company is already facing a security risk.

The Windows Genuine Advantage antipiracy system in the Windows 7 Ultimate release to manufacturers (RTM) has reportedly been compromised by some Chinese hackers, according to a variety of Chinese forums, and first reported by Neowin.com.This means the user can fully activate the software offline without connecting to Microsoft's activation server.

Although Acer may be applying the brakes to its planned Android Netbook deployment, when the Google-y mini computers do hit the shelves, SugarSync will be ready.

On Wednesday, Sharpcast, SugarSync's developer, released a version of the cross-platform multimedia syncing management software for Android phones and Netbooks. SugarSync for Android lets you view and download files on your Android Netbook or mobile phone, and upload local files to your free or premium SugarSync repository.

Since SugarSync's applications are free (you just pay for the storage you use), you can use it as a makeshift remote access tool, and as online backup. Files you upload from multiple desktops, laptops, or mobile phones are accessible from other platforms or the Web. You'll also be able to share files and folders from the phone.

Apple to attend CES 2010? Read on

Michelle Meyers | Jul 30, 2009

CES is devoting more floorspace to Apple this year. But will Apple attend? The Wall Street Journal is saying it will. (Credit: Tom Krazit/CNET)

We've heard lots of speculation about the possibility of Apple attending the massive CES tradeshow in January, but The Wall Street Journal is reporting straight out that Apple plans to attend.

If true, this would seem a bit of a schizophrenic move. After all, Apple explained its decision to leave Macworld (which takes place around the same time as CES) by saying that it doesn't need tradeshows anymore to get its message across, given its network of retail stores.

We've attempted to reach Apple for confirmation, even given the late hour, but haven't yet received a response.

Sony Vaio W Netbook available for preorder

Darius Chang | Jul 29, 2009

The first honest-to-goodness Netbook from the Japanese maker is finally available, albeit for preorder at this time. Priced at S$899 (US$647.32), this puts the Sony Vaio W on the upper end of the price scale for 10.1-inch minilaptops.

Though the Atom-based hardware and Windows XP Home operating system are run-of-the-mill, its high-resolution 1,366 x 768-pixel display and light 1.16kg heft makes it stand out from the crowd of "me-too" Netbooks. It also has two memory card slots--one for the Memory Stick format and the other for SDHC/MMC media.

Currently, only consumers in Singapore are able to preorder this device before its official launch on August 12, so click on this link and be one of the first to buy this machine. The other Asia-Pacific countries will have to wait for the Netbook to hit retail shelves in mid-August before buying.
