Hate all you like but this is no "paid review" and actually, it's just a preview look, not a full review. Yeah, trying to sell sh** for MS, that's what's going on. If you bothered to watch the video demo you would have noted that one of the downsides of the device that was called out was the fact that Windows Phone isn't at the level of Android or iOS, from an ecosystem standpoint. Someone once said, "don't feed the trolls"... so why am I tempted every time? No need to answer that.
The context of the article notes controls "like you'd find in any DSLR camera." These controls allow you to actually affect image capture settings. Nokia didn't use that to "trick" people into anything. They just gave users more control over settings. The reality is, the camera and app are the best for any camera phone on the market now, but yet, it's still a built-in smartphone camera, albeit a really good one for what it is.
Malfunctioning SATA ports were only an issue on the Sandy Bridge platform (P67 and other x67-based chipsets). These chips run on X58 which has no SATA errata.
Core i7 2600K numbers have been added and are listed in the piece. Also can't agree with that broad statement you're making. In all but lightly threaded workloads, the six-core chips dominate.
The drive shows pretty decent write performance actually, seen here: http://hothardware.com/Articles/WD-SiliconEdge-Blue-256GB-SSD-Review/?page=6 but it falls down a little bit on small transfer sizes and high queue depths. Still it's pretty much a decent offering for a client PC application so long as WD gets their price down a bit.
Eyefinity is enabled through a combination of hardware and software being developed by AMD. On the hardware front, AMD's upcoming Radeons will sport between 3 and 6 display outputs of various types, DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, etc. And those outputs will be managed by software currently dubbed SLS, or Single Large Surface. Using the SLS tool, users are able to configure a group of monitors to work with Eyefinity and essentially act as a single, large display.
ahh no, a low blow is taking a shot at your competitor's/colleague and friends content, just to get your link in somewhere. Look at the title of the original post/thread here. As the old saying goes, if you can't take it, don't dish it.:) (yeah, that's a smiley)
Hmmm... your user activity suggests that you shouldn't be judging character there Allyn; just a tad biased perhaps?;-)
I was just poking fun at Vigile, in case it wasn't clear. Not sure why it's so "not better than that" to challenge someone...
You're pitting a dual core desktop CPU against Ion. Of course it's going to be faster and also consume 3X the power and generate that much more heat/noise. The point of Ion is to support devices like netbooks and REAL SFF PCs (ITX and mini-ITX), not uATX. They are different animals.
It still just seems like you just plain wanted you're link in here, which is fine I suppose.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, it DOES have the following that you note... "shutter aperture, manual AF, bracketing and viewfinder grid"... so what's laughable?

Ha! That's pretty funny and you're right. Should have used one of these: http://hothardware.com/Reviews/The-Definitive-3D-Printer-Roundup-Cubify-Up-Solidoodle/ :)
There's a docking connector for sure. It's on the back edge of the machine.
That's it exactly actually. Official launch in the US was this morning at 12AM.
I think you need to do your research before being critical... embarrassingly critical it appears.
Surprisingly, NVIDIA can't catch AMD's dual-GPU card with their new GTX 590: http://hothardware.com/Reviews/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-590-Dual-GF110s-One-PCB/
Even in heavier DX11 titles, the cards are not quite up to par with the Radeon HD 6990: http://hothardware.com/Reviews/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-590-Dual-GF110s-One-PCB/?page=8

If you want 95% of the performance for almost half the price, go with a Core i7-970.
Ahaha! That was just awesome.
HH has a ton of datapoints and additional coverage on the new AMD GPUs: http://hothardware.com/Reviews/AMD-Radeon-HD-6970--6950-GPU-Reviews-Enter-Cayman/ - Fill rate and memory bandwidth goes to AMD, while Tesselation (for DX11) advantages are strong in NVIDIAs architecture.
Agreed!
The coverage at HotHardware shows the a closer race between the NVIDIA beast and its competition: http://hothardware.com/Articles/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-480-GF100-Has-Landed/
And the HD Tach plots here: http://hothardware.com/Articles/WD-SiliconEdge-Blue-256GB-SSD-Review/?page=7 show how far behind Intel is with writes and how strong Micron's drive is looking.

7680 x 3200 - that ought to increase your field of view just a tad!
Power consumption, H.264 encoding, file compression and image manipulation tested here, as well as Intel's on-chip PCI-Express links in multi-GPU setups: http://hothardware.com/Articles/Intel-Core-i5-and-i7-Processors-and-P55-Chipset/
HotHardware also covers the new chip here and full system power is tested in addition to benchmark numbers: http://hothardware.com/Articles/AMD-Phenom-II-965-Black-Edition-CPU-Review/

And for that matter you could just through a C2D in there instead of Atom but the point is what? Yes, it's a more capable, larger, hotter box.
