HP dm3t review We’re really into the new influx of inexpensive CULV-based laptops that’s arrived with Windows 7, and just like the ASUS UL80Vt , we knew we had to check out the starts-at-$599 HP dm3t the second we saw the first leak . In many ways, it’s the perfect throw-it-in-a-bag-and-go portable on paper, with a sleek and rigid case design, a 1.3GHz Intel SU7300 Core 2 Duo processor, and a 13.3-inch screen, but there’s a big difference between loving a machine’s spec sheets and reviews and loving it in real life, so we spent a couple days playing with a spec’d-up $819 model — read on for our impressions.

Just months after it got nailed with a $1.45 billion fine from the EU in an AMD antitrust case , nearly two years after AMD hit Intel with another antitrust probe and nearly 1.5 years after the FTC sparked up an investigation of its own , Intel has finally decided to pony up in order to rid itself of one of those back-riding monkeys.

Psystar founders claim they cracked OS X, hackintosh scene is ‘all wrong’
Psystar founders claim they cracked OS X, hackintosh scene is ‘all wrong’ Okay, so we’re reading this puff piece in the Miami New Times about would-be Mac cloner Psystar , and while we’re somewhat willing to dismiss author Tim Elfrink’s various mischaracterizations of the law and what Psystar is actually doing as just laziness and / or ignorance, there’s a quote here from Psystar founder Rudy Pedraza that simply leaps off the page: Rudy scoffs at the idea he borrowed from the Hackintosh scene. “The first thing you have to do is unlearn everything you’ve read online about how to make this work,” Rudy says, “because it’s all wrong.” Really?

ASUS’ $1,500 Core i7-equipped G51J gaming laptop gets reviewed
ASUS’ $1,500 Core i7-equipped G51J gaming laptop gets reviewed Here’s hoping you held off on purchasing that Core 2 Duo G51 just a few months ago, ’cause ASUS has just pushed out the exact same laptop with a Core i7 within and a price tag that’s $200 skimpier. The G51J-A1 was launched alongside Windows 7, and the crew over at Hot Hardware managed to toss it on the test bench to find out what kind of gains could be expected when going from Intel’s last-gen CPU to the newly-announced Core i7-720QM . The long and short of it is this: the new CPU enabled this machine to smoke the C2D sibling in every test, with graphical performance being nothing short of astounding.

NVIDIA CEO shoots down talk of Intel-compatible x86 chip, says his home is ‘all Apple’
NVIDIA CEO shoots down talk of Intel-compatible x86 chip, says his home is ‘all Apple’ NVIDIA’s feud with Intel may be at an all-time high these days, but it looks like the company isn’t about to go as far as to produce its own Intel-compatible x86 chip, despite persistent rumors to the contrary. That word comes straight from NVIDIA’s always talkative CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, who flatly said “no” when asked if there was any truth to the rumors.
