Chuckles - Bragging Rights pass to Intel...for fastest Notebook CPU Compaq, Toshiba, and Hewlett-Packard, among others, are releasing new notebook PCs with Intel's fastest notebook processor yet. Paul {===================} Fastest Pentium II for notebook PCs arrives By Brooke Crothers Staff Writer, CNET News.com June 14, 1999, 7:35 a.m. PT URL: news.com update Compaq, Toshiba, and Hewlett-Packard, among others, are releasing new notebook PCs with Intel's fastest notebook processor yet. The new Toshiba Tecra model uses Intel's newest and fastest chip for notebooks: the 400-MHz Mobile Pentium II processor. To date, the fastest version has run at 366 MHz. The Tecra 8000 also comes stuffed to the gills with other features including a large 14.1-inch LCD screen, 128MB of memory, a 14.1GB hard drive, and a DVD-ROM drive with MPEG II playback. This configuration is priced at $4,399. Another model with the 400-MHz chip but with less memory, a smaller hard drive, and CD-ROM drive goes for $3,799. Compaq announced new models in its flagship Armada 7800 line and lower cost 1750 with the 400-MHz chip. Like the Toshiba models, the Armada 7800 and 1750 also come with 14.1-inch displays. The Armada 7800 is available immediately with Windows 95 for a suggested price of $4,499, or $4,599 with Windows NT 4.0. The Armada 1750 with Windows 95 is available now for $3,499, while a model with Windows NT 4.0 is $3,599. Hewlett-Packard updated its lightweight OmniBook 4150 and its 900 models with new chip. Both models are slim notebooks. The 4150 is a thin-and-wide design, while the 900 is an ultra-portable. The 4150 uses a 10.1GB hard drive, a DVD-ROM drive, and a 14.1 inch display. It has an estimated street price of $4,199. The OmniBook 900 has a 6.4GB hard drive and a 12.1-inch display. This price is estimated to be $3,199. Advanced Micro Devices also ships a fast mobile chip that runs at 380 MHz. This is used by a number of computer makers. In related news, Toshiba also announced a new version of its super-slim 3-pound notebook, the Portege. The 3-pound Portege 3110CT packs a Pentium II 300-MHz processor and a new active-matrix LCD screen technology called polysilicon. Essentially, polysilicon LCDs provide brighter screens and better resolutions at smaller sizes than traditional active-matrix technology. The highly-compact Portege, which is less than an inch thick, also uses a 6.4GB hard drive, 64MB of memory, and the 10.4-inch display. An optional external CD-ROM drive is also available. Pricing is set at $2,299.
