ASUS LS201: It's an LCD monitor with atmosphere

Edvarcl Heng | Mar 15, 2007

While it may not be considered stratospheric in terms of its uniqueness, the LS201 somewhat apes the Philips Ambient Light displays with what the Taiwan firm terms as its Light-in-Motion effect. Located along the inner edge of the aluminum base, the ambient background light helps to lessen the eyestrain creating depth perception while using a monitor in a darkened room. This baby is also certified for the Windows Vista Premium version.

Specifications:

20-inch display
Resolution: 1,400 x 1,050
Pixel pitch: 0.291mm
Brightness: 300nits
Contrast ratio: 2,000:1
Response time: 5msb

HP desktops uses less power

Darius Chang | Mar 14, 2007

In line with the US Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star 4.0 regulations, HP will begin offering business desktops which use less juice.

Three models--the dc5700, dc7700 and dc5750--will be the first machines from the Alto Palo manufacturer to contain Energy Star 4.0 hardware. According to HP, this will help businesses save between US$6 and US$58 in power bills annually. Not a big sum for consumers, but multiply that figure by hundreds or even thousands of units used by MNCs and Governments and the savings become significant. HP Asia Pacific was unable to comment at press time if these energy-efficient systems would be available outside the US.

Eight-core Mac Pro in the works

Darius Chang | Mar 14, 2007

An accidental peek-a-boo by Apple's UK online store gave consumers a glimpse of a blazing-fast Mac Pro working on dual quad-core processors.

The Mac Pro is a professional-level multimedia machine with dual graphics card options and a massive chassis capable of holding loads of harddisks. Apple's flagship desktop can render and edit high-definition content which would bring lesser machines to a grinding halt. Considering the price tag of Intel's quad-core chips, expect to pay a high premium to own this powerhouse when it is officially released.
