Samsung shrinks its plasma TVs, with the latest model in their 8-series . First, the size becomes smaller, but flat-screen TV that brings me much less power.

According to Samsung themselves to the new plasma TV in the 8-series take up to 40 percent less power than its predecessors. The new model is 240 watts, which is well below the previous.

The new plasma is 29.5 millimeters in thickness . Although it is so thin, the manufacturer has yet been able to push in digital TV tuners for both cable network and terrestrial network. Support for MPEG-4 is also built.

TV is available in two sizes, 50 and 58 inches. When the 50-inch wall-mounted with a special round bracket, the only sticking out 4.5 inches from the wall. Both units support for Full HD displays images at 100 Hz. They have four HDMI inputs, so you can connect the example game console, Blu-ray and digital television box simultaneously. The USB port lets you connect external storage devices such as hard drives, to watch movies and pictures.

Hewlett-Packard is one of the major computer manufacturers that are involved and competing in the market of mini-computers – or netbooks, they are also known. Their HP 2133 Mini-Note has become a popular computer, and now comes the sequel mini-note 2140th.

When I tested the HP 2133 Mini-Note, I thought it was way too slow. The reason why it is so much slower than its competitors is that HP has chosen to run Windows Vista on it, along with the fact that the computer manufacturer for some reason has chosen to use a slow VIA processor.

With the Mini-Note 2140 is now over to an Intel Atom processor. This is the processor used in most mini-computers today, and it is a good choice because the Atom is energy efficient and effective. You will not be able to run any games or heavy applications on an Atom processor, but the purpose of netbooks is being able to surf and send e-mail, and it works, great.

Mini computer will have a screen of 10.1 inches, which is backlit by LEDs. The chassis is, just as in the previous model, made of aluminum (much better than most of its competitors’ plastic, but obviously affects the weight part). The keyboard is a big plus. However, HP has not fixed the trackpad, where the keys are placed on either side instead of the trackpad.

Another novelty is that HP is using its technology 3D Safe Drive, which is a solution to protect the hard drive from shock. Vibration and shock is a reason why I personally advocate SSD instead of HDD in mini-computers. I want to run my computer in the car, without the risk of vibration damage to a hard drive.

The price tag said to be around 4000 dollars when it reaches out in stores later this month – in the United States. When it comes to Sweden and Europe are not clear, nor what it will cost then. At this writing does a HP 2133 Mini-Note around 3800 dollars.

Clean up your hard drive is done partly manually and partly with smart tools. By cleaning out unnecessary files you free up storage space and may remove items that might mess.

If you are an ordinary home user, you are guaranteed to have lots of files lying on the hard disk. I know that I have. Every time I clean up the movies, photos, downloaded programs and other unnecessary, I regain many gigabytes of storage space.

This manual work is not particularly exciting, it should be recognized, but it gives quick returns. Click through your folders and delete stuff you do not want. Let [Part] button to go hot. When finished, empty the Recycle Bin by right-clicking it and selecting Empty Trash.

Should you accidentally delete a file you want to keep, you can only watch so that it is not in the Recycle Bin. If not, you can use the program Recuva to recover deleted files.However, you need to be quick, so that location on your hard disk where the file was, did not have time to be overwritten by something else.

Step of the cleansing is to use CCleaner. This critically acclaimed freeware scans your computer and allows you to clean out lots of different files, which you do not manually have taken care of. Often, there are tons of temp files that do not serve any purpose at all more than take up space.

PCOnline has become the first Swedish newspaper received test the new Asus Eee PC Box B204 . There is a small media PC that falls to us the taste, but that does not fit for all users.

Asus Eee PC Box B204 is one of the new models in the Box series of increasingly growing Asus Eee PC segment. This is in contrast to the more famous portable mini-computers, a small desktop computer. With the B204 takes Asus PC into the living room, much because its only connection to the screen is via an HDMI connector .

The foundation reminds Box B204 lot of portable mini-computers. The computer is small and nicely designed, has an Intel Atom processor and 1 GB of internal memory.There are wireless networks with support for 802.11n and Ethernet with 10/100/1000 Mbps and Bluetooth. The storage space consists of a 160 GB hard drive. One difference is that you have chosen to put a real graphics card, an ATI Radeon HD 3450 256 MB . It needed to deliver full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

The package comes with an HDMI cable, power adapter, converter from audio-out to S / PDIF, a hearty and good remote control and table stand and a metal structure to mount the computer on the back of your flat screen TV.

For installation you need to have mouse and keyboard can be connected via USB. As usual, Asus has opted for Windows XP SP3 as an operating system , which I think is a good choice. Running Vista on a newer Intel Atom processor and 1 GB of internal memory is not a hit …

The benefits of Box B204

What I personally think is best with the B204 is the fact that it is running just Windows XP. It will start up in XP and there are no restrictions of any kind. Many other competing media players use their own software, which often are limited and can not handle all file formats. But here, you have the opportunity to customize your system exactly the way you want.

Asus ships with a media player called the Eee PC Cinema . The check via the remote control and interface is so hot and easy to handle. But as with all other media players, there are problems with unsupported file formats. Most cope safely with the Cinema, but you have higher requirements, you can get another player. Just download and install.

The computer is almost dead silent and it looks really great when it is together with color-matched Panasonic plasma TV. All drivers and things worked without any problems, so the entire installation process was painless. The first time I boot up the Windows task bar had gone out of the picture, which was very annoying – until I saw the tool Eee PC Screen Settings , which was located on the desktop, and as adjusted image positioning.

That there are four USB ports, I also think about. Then you can plug in a USB flash drive, external hard drive and the IR receiver for remote control and a radio transmitter to a multimedia keyboard. For example.

Disadvantages of Box B204

The computer running Windows XP is as big a disadvantage as an advantage – it all depends on the type of user you are. I like the ability to customize the system by itself. It is not all do. Are you looking for a media player that can quickly boot right into one easy to use interface where you can kick off the movies that you put on your hard disk, so is Box B204 is not for you.

According to the specifications that were previously sent out by Asus, it would be a DVI port on your computer. It does not. HDMI is the only connection that exists, which is a disadvantage because few monitors have it. Some users want to attach a small monitor to his media computer, having along with flat screen TV, but it is not possible.

Correction: See comments from the readers attention below. There are HDMI to DVI converter, and with such, you can connect to the monitor without any problems.

Like most other Eee PC Box B204 lacks an optical drive , then CD / DVD reader.As a media PC, this is a disadvantage. One would like to throw out their DVD players and just have the computer, but it is not possible without having to add an external reader. Nor is there any TV tuner.

I also found a problem with the software Cinema, and it was that I did not manage to link the files and folders from any device other than the internal hard drive. It was annoying because I would like to play movies and music that is on my network drive.To access these files through the Windows of course, was not a problem because the computer nicely connect to my wireless network. So with another media player solves the problem itself.

Verdict of the Eee PC Box B204

As I wrote in the preamble of the Asus Eee PC Box B204 is not an option for everyone. That I am aware of. However, signed-target and I really liked this little machine. It is a media PC that offers many opportunities, but at the cost of it is not suitable for the novice user who wants something easy. Again, it is Windows XP that will start when computer starts up, and it opens up many opportunities but it also means that you need to fix some himself before it works as you want.

Almost every day it happens, dear readers, to introduce computers, mostly laptops. But the PC which we are writing today has something special, after all, you can tell from the name already. Asus is close to launching a new netbook next month, the Asus Eee PC Lamborghini VX6.

Refined and elegant design and massive body, but most hardware that does very little netbook and notebook, despite the twelve-inch monitor: D525 Intel Atom dual-core processor, NVIDIA graphics ION-Next Generation, 4GB RAM and 320 GB of well- Hard Disk, the computer has nothing to envy to the biggest classical and cousins.

Developed following the creative style of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster, the computer has a monitor with Full HD resolution and LED backlight, and has a new and very useful HDMI output for easy and quick connection to TV and projectors.

Also large potential of connectivity. Bluetooth is version 3.0 as well as USB ports, and if the Wi-Fi is a classic fitted to all the latest computer, other is the audio technology Bang & Olufsen ICEpower with high treble and bass very deep already post in other pc from Asus.

In short, a netbook prestantissimo but in the end leaves us with a question pending. We are confident that netbook, in this case, it means yet to use computers mainly for surfing the net? And, again, its similarity with the Eee PC hardware 1215n despite, however, to € 100 difference between the two models, does not make it too expensive for the design?

The retail price for the Eee PC Lamborghini VX6 – accompanied by a number of accessories – will be 599 € including VAT, a bit ‘too much for a netbook and a little’ food for thought for a provocation all the more true is it worth paying so much for a line change in style for a trendy brand more? To give you the answer you want.
