Mainstream media writes Windows obit
Wow, a tough day for Windows.
BusinessWeek reports that HP, the world’s biggest PC company, is so troubled by Vista’s ‘tepid reception’ and Apple’s resurgence that it is developing its own operating system. Meanwhile a New York Times columnist writes on his blog that Windows is “already dying a death by a thousand cuts.”
Sounds pretty dire. But like the Steve Jobs obituary that Bloomberg accidentally sent out last week, this Windows epitaph may be a bit premature.
HP has a “Skunk Works” team of engineers secretly working on its own variant of Linux for desktops and notebooks, according to the BusinessWeek story. A company executive downplayed the R&D project, saying HP isn’t devoting “large-scale resources” to it. And it turns out what they could really be working on is a set of driver and utilities that make it easier to use PCs running Linux with HP printers and digital cameras, backed by technical support. Given that many PC companies already sell a handful of systems with Linux, that doesn’t sound like a big leap. Having used a Dell Latitude notebook with Ubuntu, I’d say enhancing the driver support is a necessary move.
Where HP really is spending R&D resources is on a customer experience group that aims to “develop software that would make Windows Vista easier to use, or bypass some of its more onerous features.” That includes features such as the touchscreen technology found in its TouchSmart PCs, the QuickPlay utility that lets you work on e-mail or other common tasks while waiting for Windows to load in the background, and other graphical interfaces for improving music, movies and digital photography. None of this is that new. Asus and Lenovo also offer some systems with a Linux micro-OS that pre-boots, and Dell has announced it will offer a similar feature on some Latitude laptops. And, as the story points out, Dell’s new Studio line includes a Dell Dock that cribs from Mac OS X. In fact, many PC players have offered docks for quickly accessing commonly-used applications over the years.
Google’s new Chrome browser is hyped as a Windows killer, but setting aside the whole debate over whether (or when) the browser and Web-based applications will overtake Microsoft, The New York Times’s Joe Nocera writes that “ever-so-gradually, the Internet is upending its business model just as surely as it has upended models for the music, television and newspaper businesses.” His reason: No one really cares what operating system they use anymore. Users spend most of their time in browsers and Web-based mail clients, file formats are largely interchangeable, iTunes works on both Macs and PCs, and even many games–the last bastion of Windows users–can be played online.
I’m convinced that iTunes and the iPhone are not the only reasons Mac is gaining market share. The other is that people have come to realize that they do not really need Windows anymore. Any ol’ operating system will do. The browser and the Internet have already rendered them largely irrelevant.
It’s fairly obvious at this point that the software landscape is changing. The business of selling software on DVDs in boxes is clearly shrinking (Microsoft recently announced that its Money personal finance software would be sold online-only once the retail inventory runs out). The market is suddenly flooded with smartphones, Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), and netbooks running Linux (or Windows XP). And it does appear that after a brief honeymoon with Vista, the PC companies are once again experimenting with ways to take back some of that desktop real estate. But this has everything to do to with differentiating their PCs from the competition, and nothing to do with competing with Microsoft.
Windows is proving to be a durable an–despite all of the bad press for Vista–lucrative franchise. The truth is that browsers and Web-based applications have a long way to go before they will match the features, stability, security and off-line capabilities of the Windows Vista and Microsoft Office ecosystem. Furthermore Microsoft saw this coming a long time ago. The real question is: How well will they will respond to it. The latest indication is likely to come at its Professional Developers Conference in October, where Microsoft is expected to offer up an alpha of Windows 7.
The real bad news for Microsoft? If the first of its new ads are any indication, its $300 million marketing campaign with Jerry Seinfeld could be a bust.

Sony announces three all-in-one desktops
At a home theater show this week Sony announced three new all-in-one desktops along with a slew A/V receivers, LCD TVs and projectors, and Blu-ray players. All three AIOs offer Blu-ray drives, and the higher-end models offer rewritable BD drives.
The entry-level VAIO JS series has a 20.1-inch display, optional Blu-ray player, comes in three different colors, and will start at around $1,000. Sony hasn’t announced detailed specs for this model yet.
The VAIO LV series has a 24-inch WUXGA (1920×1200) display, optional rewritable BD drives, and up to a terabyte of hard disk storage, which Sony claims is enough to store 100 hours of HD video. It has a TV tuner and HDMI input, and can record video from a set-top box or PlayStation 3 game console. It starts at around $1,600 with a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E7200, 2GB of memory, Intel GMA X4500HD integrated graphics, and a 320GB hard drive. High-end configurations include faster dual-core chips (up to the 3.16GHz Core 2 Duo E8500), 4GB of memory, Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS graphics, and larger hard drives.
The top-of-the-line VAIO RT series is designed for video editing. The basic specs include a 25.5-inch display (1920×1200), Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics with 512MB, a terabyte hard drive, and rewritable BD drive. It starts at $3,300 with the 2.33GHz Core 2 Quad Q8200 and 4GB of memory. The step-up configuration includes the 2.66GHz Core 2 Quad Q9400 and 8GB of memory.
Both the LV and RT series have integrated power supplies so that they can be cleanly mounted on the wall, and come with a wireless keyboard and mouse. All three models will be available in mid-October at www.sony.com/pr/aio and in Sony Style stores.

Dell’s netbook arrives this week
Dell will announce its netbook, the Mini Inspiron 910, tomorrow, according to a story in today’s WSJ. The new netbook had been expected any day, but the details came to light after a partner, Box.net, a provider of online storage, sent an e-mail to the newspaper touting its work with Dell.
The Inspiron 910 is rumored to have the standard netbook specs including an 8.9-inch display, 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, SSDs up to 16GB, and the choice between Windows XP or Linux operating systems. It is expected to cost $400 or less.
Lenovo has already announced its IdeaPad S10, but it won’t ship in the U.S. until early October. The S10’s specs include a 10.2-inch display, 1.6GHz Atom processor, either 512MB/80GB HDD or 1GB/160GB HDD, and Windows XP. It will start at $400. Lenovo is also expected to offer an S9 version for some countries in Asia and Europe with an 8.9-inch display and a small SSD for around $300.

Netbooks just want to be free
At a trade show in Berlin, T-Mobile confirmed that it will sell an Asus Eee PC 901 netbook with built-in 3G. If the prices on these bundles come close to what’s been rumored, they could start to catch on.
In the UK, Asus already offers a free bundle that include an Eee PC 2GG and a USB modem with a two-year wireless broadband contract. Earlier this month, DigiTimes reported that both Asus and Acer were working on bundles with carriers in Europe and Japan. Though T-Mobile hasn’t announced the pricing, DigiTimes said Eee PC bundles in Europe (T-Mobile and TNT) and Japan (NTT Docomo and E-Mobile) would cost less than $2. There’s still no word on when we’ll see these kinds of deals in the U.S.
In its press release (translation here), T-Mobile said it had worked with Asus to develop a utility that connects to the 3G network seconds after the system boots up. And it promised up to five hours of battery life when using the 3G modem.
Acer hasn’t announced a bundle yet, but earlier this week the company cut prices on its netbook. The Aspire One is now $349 with Windows XP Home and $329 with Linux. HP is also offering $100 off some Mini-Note configurations; the lowest-priced configuration running Windows Vista now costs $600.

HP ultraportables get new Intel chips, 80GB SSD
HP has added three new ultraportables to its laptop lineup. All three have 12.1-inch wide-screen displays. Two of them, a 3.2-pound model with a built-in optical drive and a convertible tablet, are part of the new EliteBook line targeted at business users. The third is an HP Compaq model designed for bargain hunters.
Both EliteBooks, the 2530p and 2730p, will be available with Intel low-voltage and ultra low-voltage 45nm Montevina processors. This includes the low-voltage 1.60GHz Core 2 Duo SL9300 and 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo SL9400, which have 6MB of L2 cache and a 1066MHz Front-Side Bus (FSB); as well as the ultra low-voltage 1.20GHz Core 2 Duo SU9300, which has 3MB of L2 cache and an 800MHz FSB. Intel is expected to announce these any day now–possibly at IDF this week–but they are already listed in the product specs for the 2530p and 2730p. Because they will operate at a lower voltage than current mobile processors, they should provide longer battery life. HP says the 2730p will get up to 12 hours of battery life when using the optional battery slice (looks like Dell started a new trend here of quoting headline numbers for battery life based on using an extra, optional battery).
The EliteBooks will also offer a new Intel 80GB SSD option, as well as several standard hard disk drive choices. This marks Intel’s entry into mainstream PC SSDs, though they already offer PATA (parallel-ATA drives) at smaller capacities for netbooks and Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs). The 80GB SSD will be available in 1.8- and 2.5-inch versions. This is important because of a catch with the 3.2-pound 2530p: It only has room for an optical drive if you select one of the 1.8-inch, drives (a 54,00rpm 80- or 120GB drive or the 80GB SSD), rather than one of the faster, larger-capacity 2.5-inch drives.
Other notable features in the EliteBooks include an LED-backlit display, more durable magnesium alloy chassis, shock-resistant hard drives (if you skip the SSD), a 2MP Webcam with an optional business card scanner, and a spill-resistant keyboard with a nightlight. Both are also available with Qualcomm’s Gobi, a software-defined 3G radio that lets you switch between EV-DO and HSUPA networks by simply loading new firmware from the hard drive.
The 2530p, which replaces the 2510p, will start at about $1,500. The 2730p, which replaces 2710p, will start at $1,670. Both will be available in September.
The HP Compaq 2230s is a bit big bigger and heavier, weighing 4.1 pounds. It uses standard Core 2 Duo mobile processors ranging from the 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo T5670 to the 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo T9400. The 2230s is available immediately starting at about $1,000.

Gateway’s new desktop replacement: How much game does $1,400 get?
Gateway has released its first Centrino 2-based laptop, a 17-inch wide-screen model that rivals the performance of pricier gaming and entertainment desktop replacements.
To get its PCs noticed on crowded store shelves, Gateway has been experimenting with a different mix of features, opting for less expensive processors and plowing the savings into better graphics, more system memory and, on desktops, bigger power supplies. Apparently it is working since the new Gateway P-7811FX uses the same playbook.
The P-7811FX is currently a Best Buy exclusive. (Gateway, which is now owned by Acer, recently announced that it had moved to a 100% indirect model.) Gateway’s suggested price is $1,400, but it is listed at Best Buy’s site at $1,450. Either way, it looks like a solid deal with these specs:
- 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 processor
- 4GB of DDR3 memory
- Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTS with 512MB of GDDR3
- 200GB hard drive
- Dual-layer DVD drive
- Microsoft Windows Home Premium 64-bit
That stacks up pretty nicely to the $1,500 Centrino 2-based configuration of the HP Pavilion dv7 on Best Buy’s site, which has the same processor, 4GB of DDR2 memory–not DDR3–and a larger hard drive, but only includes the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT with 512MB of memory.
The only thing missing from the P-7811FX is a Blu-ray drive (it does have HDMI out). But a similarly-configured Pavilion dv7 with the lesser graphics, but with a Blu-ray drive costs nearly $1,800. (HP happens to be offering rebates on the configure-to-order Pavilion dv7, so if you are looking for a desktop replacement, it is worth checking the site to see how your configuration is priced.)
LaptopMag.com gave the Gateway P-7811FX an Editors’ Choice, calling it “of the best value-price rigs of 2008″ with performance that “blows away the dv7 when it comes to 3D games.” PCMag.com thinks Gateway made the right choices to keep the price down. ComputerShopper.com agrees the Gateway P-7811FX “delivers superb performance for the money,” but finds fault with the noisy cooling fans and awkwardly-placed touchpad.

Dell shakes up its Latitude laptops
Dell has revamped its business notebooks, introducing six new Latitude laptops and two Precision mobile workstations. The new models are a clear indication that even with its business lines Dell is continuing its efforts to get away from gray boxes and differentiate its PCs–both in design and features.
The new models have magnesium alloy cases, come in several colors, and have metal display hinges similar to those on Lenovo ThinkPads. Not surprisingly the new line is based on Intel Centrino 2 processors and chip sets, and several offer DDR3 memory. (Though Dell had only one or two Latitudes that offered AMD chips, it is worth noting that the business laptops are once again exclusively Intel.) Several models now offer SSDs–in some cases up to 128GB. At the Flash Memory Summit this week, a panelist from Dell said the 128GB drive would be roughly a $500 option. That may sound like a lot, but 64GB drives were nearly twice that price only a few months ago. Other nice touches include LED-backlit displays, backlit keyboards, and USB ports that can charge cell phones and MP3 players even when the system is powered off.
The Latitude E4200 and E4300 are ultraportables. The E4200 has a 12.1-inch LED backlit display, Intel Core 2 Duo Ultra Low Voltage processors up to the 1.4GHz SU9400, up to 5GB of DDR3 memory, Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics, and either a 64GB or 128GB SSD. Dell said it will be its smallest and lightest Latitude ever, weighing in at 2.2 pounds. The E4300, with its 13.3-inch LED backlit display, is a bit bigger (3.3 pounds), but that gets you room for standard voltage processors up to the 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SP9400. If you choose Windows Vista 64-bit, you can go up to a full 8GB of DDR3 memory. Other specs are similar though you can choose between a 64GB SSD or standard hard disk drives. Both will be available in “coming weeks,” but Dell hasn’t announced pricing.
The two ultraportables will also offer a new feature, Dell Latitude ON, which uses a low-voltage subprocessor and micro-OS to give you “near-instant” access to e-mail, calendar, attachments, contacts and Web browsing without booting Windows. Acer offers this feature on some laptops.
The E6400 and E6500 are mainstream models. Dell said the E6400 will deliver as many as 19 hours of battery life, but there’s a lot of fine print on this one–the configuration included a 9‐cell battery, a battery slice, integrated graphics, and an SSD. Still it’s an impressive number. The E6400 has a 14.1-inch display and up to 8GB of DDR2 memory; the E6500 has a 15.4-inch display and up to 8GB of DDR3 memory. Other specs are identical: Intel Core 2 Duo processors up to the 2.8GHz T9600, , Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics or the Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M1 256MB, and a choice of a 64GB SSD or standard hard disk drives. The upgraded graphics also gets you higher resolution, LD-backlit displays. The E6400 starts at $1,139 and the E6500 starts $1,169; both are available immediately. Dell will also offer a ruggedized version of the 14.1-inch model, the E6400 ATG, starting at $2,399.
Finally, the 14.1-inch Latitude E5400 and 15.4-inch E5500 are budget models. Both offer Celeron M or Intel Core 2 Duo processors, DDR2 memory, Intel GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics, and standard hard disk drives. The E5400 starts at $839 and the E5500 starts at $869; both are available immediately.
In addition to the 14.1-inch Precision M2400 and 15.4-inch Precision M4400 workstations, Dell gave a preview of a new 17-inch concept workstation with “upcoming” quad-core processors, 16GB of memory, a graphics card with 1GB of dedicated memory and a total 1TB of storage across two drives. This is Dell’s response to the no-holds-barred 17-inch workstations that HP and Lenovo have been talking up lately.

HP announces three new EliteBooks
HP rounded out its new EliteBook line with the announcement today of three new models. The EliteBook 8730w, a 17-inch mobile workstation, is HP’s first laptop with its DreamColor displays. The EliteBook 8530w Mobile Workstation and HP EliteBook 8530p are 15.4-inch models.
The 8730w’s DreamColor LED-backlit display has a resolution of 1920×1200, and displays up to 16 million colors. Though HP hasn’t announced specific configurations or pricing, the 8730w will offer Intel Core 2 Duo or Core 2 quad-core processors; up to 8GB of memory; and the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M with 1GB, Quadro FX 2700M with 512MB, or ATI Mobility FireGL V5725 with 256MB. (The Nvidia Quadro is required with the DreamColor display.) The 8730w will be available later this month starting at $1,700.
The HP EliteBook 8530w and HP EliteBook 8530p share the same design, and have similar options, but the mobile workstation offers Intel quad-core processors and a choice of the Nvidia Quadro FX 770M with 512MB or ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 with 256MB. The 8530p’s ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 with 256MB is no slouch, but it’s not a workstation-class GPU. Both models will be available in September starting at $1,500.
All HP EliteBooks also have a magnesium-alloy chassis and brushed anodized aluminum case, which the company says makes them more durable than typical laptops.
In June, HP announced its first EliteBook, the 6930p with a 14.1-inch display. At the time, HP also announced its first DreamColor display, a $3,500 24-inch model which the company said is capable of displaying up to 1 billion colors. (The DreamColor brand, first used on some HP printers, derives from the company’s marketing relationship with the DreamWorks Animation SKG.) HP also announced two new wide-screen displays, the 22-inch LP 2275w, which is available now for $460, and the 24-inch LP2475w, available in September for $650.

ThinkPad X200 reviews: Great ultraportable . . . but it’s no X300
The X200 is one of eight new ThinkPads–including the SL series for small business–that Lenovo announced as part of Intel’s Centrino 2 launch. The 12.1-inch wide-screen ultraportable, which replaces the popular ThinkPad X61, is designed to bring some of the features of the pricey 13.3-inch X300 to a broader audience.
Reviews are in–plenty of them–and there’s good news and bad news. The good: LED-backlit widescreen display, 64GB SSD now optional, and better performance and battery life than the current X300 courtesy of Centrino 2. The bad: No internal optical drive, no touch-pad, weighs about the same as the X300.
Though Lenovo ran into some issues with the availability and pricing of the optional SSD drives, it looks like those have been resolved and the the X200 is now available online. Other business ultraportables with 12.1-inch wide-screen displays include the Dell Latitude D430 and the HP Compaq 2510p. There are also rumors that a tablet version of the X200, which would compete with the Latitude XT and HP Compaq 2710p, is on its way.
Lenovo ThinkPad X200 reviews:
The X200 isn’t likely to trump the X300 anytime soon, but it does have several things that make it a terrific business ultraportable. [PCMag.com]
The X200 is classic ThinkPad, writ small. [ComputerShopper.com]
The Lenovo ThinkPad X200 is an excellent lightweight notebook for mobile professionals who demand the business essentials: security, durability, and lengthy battery life. [LaptopMag.com–Editors’ Choice]
[The] high-end features and supermodel thin X300 outdo what you’ll get design-wise with the X200. With that said, the ultraportable X200 certainly has a lot to like about it, offers better performance than the X300 and has a more reasonable price. [NotebookReview.com]
The ThinkPad X200 is built and priced competitively. It will certainly be a factor in the second half of 2008 and will be a tough notebook to beat in the Centrino 2 class. [ChannelWeb]

Dell Studio Hybrid, new Inspirons reviewed
Dell announced today three new PCs. One of them, the Studio Hybrid, is a small form-factor desktop with a novel design that competes with the Apple Mac mini and HP Slimline series. The other two, the Dell Inspiron 13 laptop and Dell Inspiron 518 desktop, are more practical back-to-school boxes.
The Studio Hybrid is marketed as a green PC, and some early photos emphasized the bamboo case. As with a hybrid car, a green PC costs a little extra. The bamboo sleeve is a $150 option, and most buyers will probably end up choosing either the standard gray, plastic sleeve or a different color for $20. With or without bamboo, the Studio Hybrid’s power-saving laptop components, use of recycled materials and minimal packaging make it an environmentally-friendly choice.
Like most small form-factor desktops, the Studio Hybrid’s specs don’t stack up to those of standard desktops at the same price, but for some the compact, attractive design is worth it. In the vertical stand, it measures 8.8 x 3 x 8.3 inches (you can also lay it flat with or without the stand). The Studio Hybrid starts at $500 (configuration details are here) and is available online. Both CNET and PCMag.com have posted full reviews.
“It’s hard for us to recommend the Dell Studio Hybrid desktop for any practical purpose . . . [but] if aesthetics are your chief concern, the Studio Hybrid will reward you with its good looks and respectable computing power.” [CNET]
“. . . A good alternative to the boxy mainstream PCs that have dominated the market since the dawn of personal computing.” [PCMag.com]
New laptops with 13-inch displays are likely to be a popular choice for back-to-school since they provide a little more real estate than the 12.1-inch displays in ultraportables, but are much more portable than 15.4-inch mainstream models. The Inspiron 13 weighs less than 5 pounds and includes capacitive touch media controls, a media card reader and slot-loading DVD drive. A $700 configuration will be available at Wal-Mart starting August 3, and configurable versions will be available online later in August.
The Inspiron 518 is a standard tower PC, though Dell spruced-up the Inspiron case and added a tray on top with USB ports for cell phones and MP3 players. The new model is now available online starting at $350 with a 2GHz Intel Pentium E2180 dual-core processor, 1GB of memory, integrated graphics, a 250GB hard drive, DVD drive, and Windows Vista Home Basic SP1. You can bump it up to a quad-core processor (the 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600) for $140. PCMag.com has posted a full review.
“The Dell Inspiron 518 is a good middle-of-the-road PC with the benefit of no crapware.” [PCMag.com]
