Relatively unknown German notebook maker Cizmo announced one of the first Intel-Montevina-equipped notebooks on Tuesday, the CX15. Besides sporting Intel’s latest mobile performance processor, also known as the Centrino 2, the CX15 will include a high-end graphics card, and a slick black design.

Cizmo will option the CX15 with Montevina processors running at 2.26GHz (P8400), 2.4GHz (P8600) and 2.53GHz (P9400). All offer the same high-speed 1066Mhz front-side bus. For graphics, the CX15 gets Nvidia’s GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB card, which offers dual-view display capability and HDCP support.

Other features include a 15.4-inch display, 2GB of DDR3 RAM that can be expanded to 4GB, an eSATA port for adding fast external drives, 7-in-1 card reader, and 2-megapixel webcam. A Blu-ray drive will also be available as an upgrade, although a CD/DVD combo drive will come standard.

The company lists the computer for €1,259.66 ($1,996) before taxes of 19 percent, which bring it right up to an even €1,499 ($2,386). The CX15 is available for pre-order now, but will begin shipping around June 13, after Intel formally introduces the new platform.

Safari’s biggest tab-management upgrade in years could finally end your browser clutter with iOS 27.3

Safari learns to tame tabs and dim bright pages.

Here’s a confession: I never close my browser tabs. I just let them pile up until my browser looks like a Tetris game I’ve already lost. Well, it looks like Apple is finally ready to help me clean up.

Google is making schools choose between AI and access to its Search engine

Google is using its Search dominance to armtwist schools into accepting AI

Google says it wants to give schools more control over how students use AI. But its proposed solution comes with a rather extraordinary condition: schools that opt to block AI entirely will also lose access to Google Search on student accounts. The conclusion is that schools can say no to Google’s AI, but they may have to give up one of the most fundamental tools students use to learn and research online.

The change, reported by The New York Times, is expected to take place early next year. Google is responding to concerns from parents and educators who want more control over how children interact with AI, the company said. But linking access to Search to acceptance of AI raises an uncomfortable question: is Google really giving schools a choice, or making it harder for them to say no?
