Intel’s Pentium 4 600 Series Processors

Big quote from the article:

“A LITTLE OVER A YEAR ago, while media attention was affixed firmly on the Superbowl, Intel discreetly let slip a brand-new, vastly rearchitected CPU core that, by all rights, should have been called the Pentium 5. The “Prescott” CPU core, as we now know, became somewhat infamous for its particular combination of tepid performance and gluttonous appetite for power (and corresponding prodigious heat production). This was the processor that supposed to make it to 4GHz and never did, the CPU that convinced Intel that the future was in dual-core designs and “platformization.” It may not have been a resounding success or a complete failure, but it was certainly consequential, despite its quiet introduction.

Acer Aspire 1714SMi Laptop Review

Quote from the review at BIO Magazine:

“Acer’s Aspire 1714SMi obliterates the gap between desktop and portable computers. The system is a desktop replacement laptop in every sense of the word – it’s big, bulky, heavy, noisy, andis extremely uncomfortable to use on your lap thanks to four large and protruding ‘feet’. Even the 180-watt AC adapter is huge and weighs a staggering 902g. The system’s battery only lasts around 46minutes too, which rules it out for computing on the move. However, if you want a laptop to literally replace your desktop computer on your desk, the Aspire 1714SMi is a powerhouse of a system that’spacked full of powerful features. In particular, it uses Intel’s latest 3.4GHz Pentium 4 processor, ships as standard with 1GB of memory (2GB maximum), has a bright and crisp 17in. TFT screen,dual-format DVD recorder and built-in 802.11b/g wireless LAN. Just don’t expect the 7.1kg system to be a travel-friendly solution.”   Read the full review
