Microsoft has some new wireless laser mice

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 | Other with No Comments »

They are the Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and 7000. There really isn’t much new here, they have some custom buttons for Windows Vista and one of them is meant for on the go use, the other for stationary desktop use.

The 6000 is the one made for use on the go, it is a full sized mouse, but has the snap-in transceiver like that of smaller portable mice. The 7000 has a vertical recharge stand and is clearly meant for the desktop.

They both have some pretty amazing battery efficiency and they both have MS’s HD laser tech as well as the wireless tech on the 2.4GHz band for distances up to 30 feet. The extra buttons are for Flip 3D, Magnifier, and tilt wheel. These mice will be available in March for $50 and $70 respective to their numbers, or you can pre-order them now.

Dell next up at Penryn bat

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 | Laptops with No Comments »

Word on the streets is that Dell is going to be making the jump to Penryn soon. This leak comes from some people that CNet believes to be reliable insiders and they say the change over will take place next week.

So far HP, Toshiba, and Gateway have hopped on board, to varying extents, the Penryn bandwagon. Currently there are 5 mobile Penryn processors, and Dell is tight-lipped with the details of which of those 5 they’ll be using, and more importantly, which notebooks of their line will be infused with the 45nm processors.

Other than the lower heat and power usage these processors offer, they also offer performance bumps such as a larger cache, making them well worth the jump. Chances are if/when Dell makes the transition to Penryn, it will be in their higher end notebooks such as the XPS line, so, if you were looking at buying one of their other notebooks, its probably safe the go ahead and buy it, if you were looking at purchasing an XPS system on the other hand, you might want to wait.
