By Ian Bell Published February 11, 2005

The 7.5-pound system’s Color Enhanced Crystal View display combines backlight, LCD, and color-filter technologies to deliver picture quality, image intensity, and color accuracy that rival aconventional monitor’s. The 15.4-inch wide-aspect-ratio (1,280 by 800) screen is backed by ATI’s Mobility Radeon X300 PCI Express graphics accelerator with 64MB of dedicated memory.

Prices start at $1,499 for a model with Intel’s Pentium M 740 (1.73GHz, 533MHz bus) processor and Pro/Wireless 802.11b/g networking; 512MB of DDR-2 memory; a 60GB hard disk; and a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive. A top-of-the-line version with 100GB hard disk, double-layer DVDÂ±RW burner, and TV tuner/personal video recorder with Instant MyMedia — for enjoying DVDs, CDs, and TV without booting up the laptop — costs $2,099.

OpenAI is locking its most advanced AI models offline after a string of security scares

OpenAI’s fake internet is a safety fix and an admission.

Part of me is relieved that an AI lab is hitting the brakes. The other part wishes it hadn’t taken real incidents to get there.
