It has technology that Nvidia Optimus automatically switch between the dedicated card Geforce GT 555m and the graphics Intel GMA 3000 HD integrated processor as needed and tasks performed by the user to focus on graphics performance or battery life. It was to provide the best possible independence for the laptop runs by default on Intel GMA 3000 HD allows to read without difficulty including HD video. Optimus does therefore call on the Geforce GT 555m if a need for superior performance arises.

This is especially true in games, an area where the Ge-force GT 555m delivers good overall performance, enough to engage properly in many ways as long as under the most demanding of them are adjusted levels of detail and resolution of the screen.

The slab has indeed a beautiful space to display Full HD to be at ease, a definition that is particularly suited to HD video playback especially as the 16:9 format is well suited to this use.

The new Dell Inspiron Mini 10 should see their rates start at $ 299 with Windows 7 or Windows XP Starter Home.

Besides a Pine-view Atom N450 processor clocked at 1.66 GHz, Dell Inspiron Mini 10 will carry a configuration close to the current Mini 10.

Although most versions will be offered with a 6-cell 56Whr battery autonomy announced offering of 8:44, 3 cell battery 28Whr should also be available on the weight of the Mini 10 to 1247 Kg A 6 cell battery high capacity 60Whr displaying a 9:34 autonomy is also part. With it, the weight of the Mini 10 will reach 1.4 Kg

The dimensions of the Mini 10 are 266.7 x 198.12 x 33.02 mm, and are a 3 cell battery or 6 cells are embedded.

The new Mini 10 benefits because of a design review relative to current Mini 10. Indeed, once built, the battery 3 or 6 cell does not exceed the frame back or underside as is currently the case.

Other news, the palm rest has a textured surface which shows less fingerprints. On the side of the touchpad, buttons are always built on the surface but support multi-touch is more appropriate.

Contrary to what some hoped, no doubt, Dell has not resolved to equip its new Mini 10 an NVIDIA graphics chip ION.

The Texas firm says that we find in fact an optional Broadcom chip Crystal HD Media Accelerator for smooth playback of HD movies 720p and 1080p. The ION was rejected because its price / performance ratio has been considered less interesting. The Broadcom chip is actually less expensive than the ION and consumes less energy. Furthermore, play is not a priority for many who wish to invest in a Netbook.

Still later options, you will find a WXGA HD 1366

Though it’s just a concept, it seems there’s some interesting thoughts that laptop designers could incorporate as takeaways from the D-roll. Check out more of Hao Hua’s design below.
