The New Fujitsu Supercomputer Processing
The new supercomputer Fujitsu 23.2 petaflops of processing. The petaflops are just as supercomputers used in the acronym comes from Floating Point Operations Per Second or it means the number of operations you can perform that computer. So last week the company in cooperation with the Fujitsu Research Laboratory reported that the supercomputer Reiker K is the first in the list of top 500 fastest computers and powerful in the world.
This broke his own record label processing from the operations or 10 quadrillion calculations per second. Today the company announced a new supercomputer that is able to break the same record again this is referred to as PRIMEHPC FX10. The exact brand supercomputer was 10.51 K arrived but the new computer petaflops PRIMEHPC gets called at least theoretically reach up to 23.2 petaflops of processing.
So the new computer just is not in the list of world’s fastest supercomputers because first of all must pass through a official benchmark used in all computers that are there. So if the new model at least get to have a greater than 10.51 petaflops processing and be the first listing does not achieve more than what the company claims that this gets. Fujitsu and still found that the manufacturer intends to begin marketing units K has 854 racks and uses more than 88,000 different processors also during this year.
For its part, the sales start PRIMEHPC 1024 FX10 has racks and more than 98,000 processors will happen in January next year and the company plans to sell fifty of them over the next three years. Next to the manufacturer FX10 PRIMEHPC Fujitsu also launched a new processor responsible for the incredible power that it presents. Dubbed IXfx Sparc64 it has 16 different cores with up to 236 gigaflops capabilities and operates at 1.86 GHz clock.
For its part also in the world of super processing company to create the first supercomputer solid state memory, and researchers at the University of California announced the planned construction of the first supercomputer capable of storing files via solid memories. The name of the supercomputer is Gordon and the SSD memory used for storing data, which will certainly not few.
In laptops, it’s almost total domination of the SSD memory but this is the first time it is placed into a supercomputer. Which prevented its use was short-lived in a common SSD are supported 3,000 cycles of records. The supercomputer was born through an award of $ 20 million from the National Science Foundation directed to the university. The forecast for the start of operation of Gordon is January 2012.

Acer Aspire 5253G — The Full-Size Model For Ultra-Platform
The big screen in terms of mass user is more important than a powerful processor. No matter what the aesthetes, it is equally true, as the choice in favor of a car with a roomy and spacious interior damage to the engine. Of course, if funds are limited and have to find a compromise. Because the subjective comfort has more to do with the fact that in the literal sense to mean and does not require any special skills to appreciate.
If neither the one nor the other does not, powerful unit will differ from the weak but that will consume more resources. And thus, in general, reduce the quality of life of its owner. A man could spend the same money on something really useful for him. Probably because of such considerations are based on manufacturers of modern full-size notebooks, in which a 15-inch screen is combined with the platform, originally developed for ultra-portable segment.
The laptop has a practical coating with micro-relief, so that scratches and fingerprints in the eyes do not catch. At the same time call it heavy, budget and primitive there is no reason. Rounded edges, moderate weight for a 15-inch model: about 2.3 kg with a very compact 65-watt power supply. Thickness of 3.5 cm does not indicate a low profile, but apparently the laptop looks pretty thin.
Inside the glossy made a rim around the screen and the screen itself to please fans of cinema. In principle, for a home model, the problem is not so relevant gloss, as the room lighting can be adjusted so as to avoid glare. In this saturation is indeed rising. And because the matrix used in the present case, of course, not an elite, an indirect improvement in picture quality will not hurt. Build quality is good, the gaps uniform.
Not only liked the design of loops on the sides of the gap at the site of attachment loops in the body is large enough, can get dust here. But at the same time for those who do not like the limited opening angle of the lid, most current models, there is good news in this case, the lid is opened to a much greater angle. The cover is fixed by design loops, which are very tight and lock the lid in the closed position with sufficient reliability.
One can note a very short stroke and low sound of keystrokes. The main use of arrow keys is not very convenient, because all four hands squeezed into the space of three keys. Rigidity of the keyboard panel may disappoint fans of vigorously pounding the keys, because even the average of the force pressing the keyboard detects the deflection, as shown by the adjacent keys. Much discomfort in the work it is not only suggests that this detail has no margin of safety.
As already mentioned, the laptop does not look fat, and in fact included in the dimensions of the legs, pretty much sticking out of the body that promotes good ventilation.

Why Dell Studio 1555 Laptop Battery Exploding
In general, the current battery of Dell Studio 1555 have good comprehensive protection. Not only are multiple series / parallel battery circuit board itself also contains two modules: protection module PCB Board Module and smart battery indicator, a set of design includes battery protection IC protection (to prevent battery in the prime nivelsobre the discharge, short circuit), the second-level protection IC (to avoid a second surge), fuses, LED display, temperature control and other components.
In the mechanism of multiple layers of protection, including the charger, computer in an anomalous situation, the battery can only be converted to automatic protection status, if the situation is not serious, often working after re-plug, no explosion. The first is the most severe, a short circuit will directly and very hot, resulting in vaporization of some of the electrolytes, slice battery cover.
According to analysis, Dell 1555 battery explosion caused by a short circuit or overload, probably manufactured lithium batteries, because the manufacturing process is deficient, leaving the existence of product safety problems can occur at any time, as the two poles should be insulated but metal powder or sheet copper and aluminum foil membrane drilling burr among them, resulting in micro short circuit.
There is also a very special situation, the charger or equipment due to special reasons, lithium battery instantly provides the high voltage / strong currents that leads to severe stress, such as charging voltage v mbm1260 suddenly rises to 12.9 v is greater, then it would produce a high flow, should be cut in the circuit charge current to recharge the battery, but action due to battery voltage lithium, depending on the design of current protection is very weak This can lead to damage of IC, battery protection.
Studio 1555 battery to lose the protective function and extremely damaged, after crystallization overload around lithium metal needle piercing points ahead of several micro chip short circuit, causing the battery temperature gradually raised, until finally battery explosion, fire phenomenon, which is now a lot of main reasons for the “mess” of portable batteries.

Samsung Series 5 Ultra Review
Samsung released yesterday in South Korea ultrabooks a new line, called Ultra Series 5. They continue with the same slim design of the Series 9 and Series 7 Cronos but one of his models is a big difference that is not common in laptops of this type, so the model in question presents an optical reader.

The 14 inch is 20.9 millimeters thick and weighs 1.8 kilograms and a storage capacity Solid State Drive disk from 500 GB to 1 TB. To complete such equipment placed Samsung optical drive, video card AMD Radeon 7550M Ethernet and HDMI and outputs. Meanwhile the 13 inch is 14.5 mm and a limited capacity to a solid state drive up to 500 GB. Even though this model does not present the two outputs optical drive present in his older brother are also present in the smaller model.
The first model will be sold for a price equivalent to $ 1,345 and the second will be in South Korean stores for a price of $ 1,300 according to the report of the company. Both models will be launched this month in the host country of Samsung. In spite of the Series 5 ultrabooks be termed by the company and be sanctioned by Intel who was the creator of these laptops specifications fourteen-inch model are not in the current requirements of chip maker.

Acer Will Put On Big Ultrabooks In The Year 2012
After netbooks, Acer will focus on the sale of ultrabooks, the ultra-thin notebooks to Intel on established markets like the United States.
The computer manufacturer based in Taiwan announced that in 2012, he devoted himself mainly to manufacture ultrabooks, the new class of ultra-thin laptops from Intel. Acer also wants to pursue a strategy very incentive to users to be more likely to buy their PC. The manufacturer will first work on established markets like the United States in particular. In an interview with Dow Jones, JT Wang, Acer’s Chief Executive said: “Next year, the ultrabooks will be our main engine of growth. Users want a laptop lighter, thinner, with more autonomy.
Acer is not the only company to build on the success of ultraportables. Many manufacturers such as Asus, HP, Lenovo, LG and Toshiba, have already put on the path of these ultra-thin notebooks, and other manufacturers like Dell, Fujitsu, Samsung and Sony should stick to the trend in 2012. Some critics predict that nearly 50 new laptops for will be announced at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show to be held in January 2012 in Las Vegas.
The ultrabooks are the answer to Intel’s MacBook Air from Apple that really cleared the market since 2008. They are expected to provide greater autonomy, view profiles of less than 2 cm thick, provide a very fast start, have solid state drives, incorporating the latest Intel Cor, all for for less than $ 1 000 HT.
The price advanced by Intel has so far been the most difficult objective to achieve. Last October, Acer was the first manufacturer to deliver a ultrabook below 1000 dollars, offering the S3 for $ 900. But to achieve this goal, Acer had to put in its rotary S3 hard drive instead of SSD. Subsequently, Acer has delivered a model incorporating an SSD for storage of files, but increased the price of ultrabook the way, from 900 to 1300 dollars.
Apparently, JT Wang seems to accommodate these ultrabooks more expensive because it has to bring more money into the coffers of the company by increasing its margins rather than selling quantities of cheap PC. “We will change our strategy to improve profitability, other than blindly seeking to gain market share with cheap products and low cost,” said the Chief Executive of Acer. A new discourse in the taiwainais.
It hopes that next year his company will expand its PC sales by 10%, largely due to ultrabooks, and also due to demand from emerging markets like China, India and Brazil, where territories Netbooks are still popular. In 2011, laptops are thinner have a positive impact on the company, which recently said it was on track to ship 250 000 to 300 000 ultrabooks by the end of the year. Users, meanwhile, have turned away cheap laptops from Acer and towards the shelves, or is it simply because of the worsening global economic situation.
So what will happen? Is Acer will continue to sell ultrabooks inspired by the Apple MacBook Air priced Apple? Or is that Acer is slashing prices in the month of June to gain market share?

Lenovo claims that this model comes “immune” against the careless users. The computer has in turn an accelerometer attached to the needle of the hard drive as a fall prevention and internal damage. The effectiveness of this resource is no doubt debatable but it remains one point more than attractive, although many claim that the company should be placed as a solid state disk to avoid damage.
As for the screen have a 11-inch and all structural reinforcements the netbook ends up being a little heavy but interesting, its weight is 1.7 kilograms. Given the more modest demands of students ThinkPad X130 Lenovo’s new Hardware offers a modest aspirations. To begin the processor is a Core i3. Or we also have versions like AMD APUs, E-300 and E-450. The simplest version offers only 2 GB of RAM, 500 GB disk, bluetooth 3.0 and six-cell battery with an estimated duration of more than eight hours a day necessary for a full day of studies.
Among other highlights have accelerated the use boot Lenovo, which has known RapidBoot 20 seconds to speed up the entire operating system loads. In addition to this we have three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, VGA, card reader and Ethernet. At the same time a port is also present audio jack for microphones or headsets. The device can be customized and purchased in large quantities not only by students.
Meanwhile LG continues to present new models in this case the new Z330 Xnote ultrabook. So we have a model very close to the MacBook Air, LG decided to put Core i7 i5 E depending on the version chosen. The screen is 13.3 inches with a resolution of 1366 x768 pixels. Regardless of the choice of processor the consumer is bound to a memory of 4 GB of RAM and can choose between two versions of Solid State Drive being 120 or 256 GB.
In the rest of the model we have WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, two USB 3.0 ports and memory card reader. Graphics processing unit is in charge of Intel’s integrated solution. The shutdown time the product is also fast with just 9.9 seconds. The great result is achieved thanks to SSDs which are paired with a UEFI BIOS. Prices are around 1,500 to $ 1,800.

Review Camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH2
Love or fascination for amateur photography surely has emerged with the launch of the Facebook social network where youth and teen place their pictures not only of those special moments of everyday life but, where is that point the new camera from Panasonic. Lumix called FH2 just seeks to present a high quality camera photo, portable, simple and economical. This not only social networks but in the world in general do not always look very sophisticated models but people every day looking for cameras that capture simple but better pictures.
Taking advantage of the quality of its products Panasonic presents this model as part of the most basic line of the company. A very cheap model that has a good finish and also capture good photographs. In terms of design the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH2 not bring any innovation in design but has a good overall aesthetics. His body is all made of metal and the front gains a new texture of polished steel. The silver details appear at the top of the model are opaque plastic.
The lens is bounded by shiny silver metal details, the camera is much like other Panasonic having a great ending. Its screen is 2.7-inch LCD type with good color and overall appearance. The screen is located at the limit of the camera body to promote fewer scratches. Above we found the microphone, power button and the shutter and zoom adjustment. On the left side we have the string entry for the protection and connection to our computers, which is protected by a small rubber cap. At the bottom we have just the ticket for common and tripods.
In the front we have the light for red-eye reduction, flash and lens. The back side we have all the commands such as display mode or photographs as well as buttons for: mode, display, paper, turning back, menu and navigation pad and timer choices, flash, macro and control of light. As for what matters most is to use the camera has few features and all are focused on improving the usability of the camera. Adjusting the LCD for example, has four definitions, one of which allows a better vision of the screen from high angles.
The interface has few buttons and it is difficult to choose the first settings at least. Meanwhile, the settings are placed in several menus. You can access the settings for up to three different buttons each leads to a type of function which can confuse novice users. As for the quality of photographs and videos have a great look, same being a Panasonic camera spared no economy in the optical assembly of the FH2.
Besides the 14.1-megapixel sensor of the type we have Leica lens with 4x wide angle optical zoom 1:31.1 – 6.5/5.0-20.0. This optical assembly pays us a great photo quality considering that the only problem is the zoom. The camera acts sunlight perfectly, besides pictures well defined colors that are right. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH2 offers high-definition movies with high quality HD picture and good sound. Finally in the storage we have a 4 GB SD card.
In conclusion, the new Panasonic camera definitely has a major positive point is more economical price coupled with a high quality of photographs. The only drawback is the limited battery life.

The Review Of Lenovo IdeaPad Z370
Whenever we think of Lenovo designs come to mind ugly, square, black and no investment in design. So the company wants to break this myth that became reality until today when we know the IdeaPad Z370 model. This is a nice notebook which has a Core i3, 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive. No doubt when choosing a new laptop now if we should consider this brand if we want a powerful device of high quality and also with a design in keeping, which so far met in the first two adjectives only.
In terms of design in the midst of so many notebook-type portable black or gray without a doubt the Lenovo IdeaPad Z370 is going to draw much attention. The lid of the notebook has a completion in 3D squares that appear when the light comes from different angles. The model has several colors perhaps the most attractive is the bright blue in the market but also have other colors such as brown or extravagant sober silver.
The keyboard has black keys with the letters printed in black and AccuType standard, also known as chocolate keys format but in this case with a small difference that these keys have a format of a smile. Despite being a little less than that of most notebooks they are very comfortable for those who have very large fingers. The glossy screen notebook has anti-glare treatment which gives the user the ability to display the screen as much sunlight as a high brightness of artificial light.
In terms of performance for simple tasks of day to day Lenovo IdeaPad Z370 will be perfect for any user thanks to Sandy Bridge Core i3 and 4 GB of DDR3 RAM divided into two slots. According to the operating system Windows 7 laptop deserves note 5.9 in their overall performance which is a little above the average of notebooks in the same category. In the tests that the manufacturer gives the notebook works well for basic tasks and surprises when you want to play games that require innovative and high performance such as Blur. A point that also attracts the attention is for those users who are fans of movie viewing in our notebook and music, as sound and picture quality is spectacular.
Meanwhile the battery lasts up to four hours with the screen brightness to 50% in the Internet browsing, we can improve this performance by reducing the brightness of the same or diminishing some of our processor command with some dedicated keys on the top of the keyboard. The computer also comes with an integrated facial recognition software to do so “login” but we should place ourselves in front of the webcam.
In conclusion, we have a beautiful design, comfortable keyboard and a great performance. As only disadvantage I find personally think we have a price above the competition. The price of the Lenovo IdeaPad Z370 is a bit high for your configuration, but the design used by the manufacturer and the battery life far outweigh the expense.

Ultraskromnik Overview 12.5-inch Notebook Samsung 350U2B
Compared to most modern laptops Samsung 350U2B looks like a nightingale in the company of peacocks. Skolznesh eye on it – and then forget it. Small, gray, nondescript. And around these colorful beauties and important! Main trick – to show a little patience and wait until the laptop “sing”.
In addition to the Samsung ultrabukov 900X3A and 900X1A, the Korean electronics giant is another interesting ultraportables. At first glance, Samsung 350U2B seriously inferior to the spectacular flagship 900 series. However, if you look, consider piastres and the advantages of these piastres can be obtained, then. But let’s not get ahead – tell all in order.
Design and usability
After the utter hell with gloss, textures, and other gadgets blestyashkami, who organized the designers of laptops in the past few years, Samsung 350U2B is unusually simple. It’s a little bit confusing: the eye has become accustomed to much more “violent colors.” The most striking design element model 350U2B – outside of the lid. It is made of a material that looks reminiscent of “shredded aluminum.”
In fact, it is still plastic – and the darker part, and is lighter. Thanks to the right color and texture a la rough grinding surface is already too practical: fingerprints and scratches on it are lost. The only metal part in the housing Samsung – the panel on which is inscribed the keyboard. But here, “luminescence” only for beauty, a thin layer of metal is still all the same plastic. However, with such dimensions of plastic enough to provide decent housing rigidity.
Width keyboard unit is 28 inches, extra buttons, no. Therefore, a spacious keypad and easy to use. Even long-suffering key “e”, which gets most of all, the Samsung 350U2B full size. The touchpad is relatively small: the size of the sensitive area are 90h50 millimeters, 12.5 millimeters from the bottom yet – physical buttons. But the surface of the panel is correct, of teflonopodobnogo plastic finger glides on it perfectly.
The only thing you can find fault with this laptop – a set of communication terminals. USB ports are only two and neither one of them, alas, has no support for USB 3.0. Analog video is made in the form of non-standard connector, and requires the use of an adapter. At least in the Samsung 350U2B have full HDMI and built-in wired network adapter – by itself, Gigabit Ethernet.
