Akasa Nero S CPU Cooler
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 46 viewsAkasa’s new Nero S heatsink COMPUTEX 2009: Akasa’s latest in the fight against heat, or simply to trump the mighty ThermalRight Ultra Extreme, is the Nero S. With four thick 8mm heatpipes the Nero S is designed for all the latest Intel and AMD sockets and has 46 aluminium fins and Akasa’s unique S-Flow fan which it claims delivers “30 percent more airflow” - though we’re not clear what it’s 30 percent more than. The addition of another heatpipe isn’t the only difference between the Nero S and the original Nero either - this one is a lot fatter too. The fan almost takes a leaf out of Noctua’s book of colour schemes and the fan blades certainly look interesting, to say the least. The quality of the plastic in the fan is certainly higher than we’re used to from Akasa, so that’s a step in the right direction for a premium product, however we’re unsure yet how much it’ll be - we’ll update you in due course.

Adobe, NVidia working to improve Flash Player performance
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 24 viewsI enjoyed my MSI Wind netbook while I had it, but there was one task that always gave it fits: running Flash-based anything . Games stuttered, YouTube clips were choppy, and the system’s tiny fan spun like a tin can in a tornado. Owners of newer netbooks featuring NVidia’s upcoming Tegra system-on-a-chip or Broadcom’s Crystal HD will be glad to hear that Adobe is teaming up with NVidia to produce a version of the Flash player tuned for netbooks and MIDs. The goal is to provide full h.264-powered HD video to more mobile devices. Another result of the partnership: Flash will likely see significant performance gains on other NVidia chipsets as well. At last you’ll be able to put your multi-GPU SLI configuration to good use while enjoying your favorite Time Waster s! [ via ZDNet ] Original source: www.pheedcontent.com , delivered by rss-farm.ru

Dell drops Mini 9 range
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 4 viewsDell’s popular Mini 9 range just got rarer: the company has officially ceased selling the 8.9″ models in favour of the 10″ Mini 10 and 10v. The days of netbooks being svelte, ultra-portable fashion accessories may be numbered with the news that Dell is to ditch the popular 8.9” Mini 9 range to focus on larger models. As reported over on CNet , the mass-market box shifter has removed the Mini 9 from its UK website – pointed interested parties in the 10” Mini 10 and Mini 10v ranges instead. This move to concentrate on a larger form factor as standard – rather than as an additional offering – is echoed across the pond, with Engadget reporting that a Dell customer service representative has confirmed the Mini 9 range as “ end of life .” The move comes as the boundaries between netbooks and notebooks blur: with screen sizes getting ever larger – and some netbooks even going so far as to have integral optical drives – the main reason for their popularity appears to have been forgotten: they’re incredibly portable devices for use on-the-go. Whether this move towards 10” displays – and beyond – represents a maturation of the netbook market or a dilution of its core ideals remains to be seen. One thing is for certain: Dell is putting its money on size selling. What’s the ideal netbook screen size in your opinion
