Computex 2009:OCZ Sabre 动手玩(同场加映 Colossus 和 Neutrino)



****

OCZ Sabre (a.k.a. 穷人的万键之王)是大幅简化后的 Optimus Maximus,但其背后的想法是一样的:靠显示出来的图片协助使用者辨明按键所代表的意义。但是 Sabre 有几个重要的不同:首先,它不是每颗按键下面都有 OLED 屏幕,而是在左边独立出来了九个按键。其次 Sabre 的屏幕是黑白的,不是彩色的,因此价格可以低很多。最后,它不像万键之王是用透明按键套在 OLED 屏幕之外的复杂机构,而是简单的一整颗按键(连着屏幕)按下去就好了。虽然无从得知底下的触发装置是什么,但看它软棉棉的触感,说不定是薄膜?

看到这个,小姜第一个比较的对象当然就是罗技的 G 自定义键。两者的功能基本上是一样的,可以设按键组合、启动程序或录制 Macro 等等,但多了小屏幕之后,就不用特别去记每个键代表的意思,瞄一下图就好了,是比罗技的键盘在某些程度上更好用。

Sabre 预估的售价在 200 美金上下,和一般键盘相比是仍然贵了一点,但和万键之王比已经便宜很多啰!继续阅读里还有 OCZ 的 3.5" SSD Colossus 和 ION netbook Neutrino 的照片/影片。

<Computex 2009: Hands-on OCZ Sabre (Side Show Extra: Colossus and Neutrino)>
OCZ Sabre (a.k.a. Poorman's Maximus) is basically a scaled-down Optimus Maximus with same aim to achieve: assist the user to identify keyboard keys with graphical display. Here are the differences where Sabre differs from Maximus: firstly, instead of OLED on every single key on the keyboard, Sabre only have 9 OLED keys located on the left hand side. Secondly, Sabre's display is in monochrome, not in colour, therefore cost significantly less. Thirdly, instead using the complex transparent keys over OLED display mechanism, the Sabre opted for integrating the key and the display into one. Although the actual switch used is unknown, we felt it's most likely to be membrane switches since the key travel is quite supple.

The estimated market price is likely to be somewhere around USD $200, comparably expensive than ordinary keyboards, but much cheaper than Optimus Maximus.

Computex 2009:资策会的 Mtube II


****
这玩意儿其实算是整个 Computex 2009 上小姜看过最创新的一个 Netbook 产品,结果偏偏是个上市时间不明的政府机关产品 XD。简单来说 Mtube II 下半是个正常的 Via C7-M Netbook(事实上他们是一台 HP 2133 改的),而上半则是一台可分离式的 ARM 架构 Tablet。平常的时候可以只用上面 Tablet 的部份,但需要更强的运算能力的时候,插上去就可以跑 Windows 的应用程序了。

这是怎么办到的呢?其实说穿了不值钱,它只是在 Tablet 和主机之间做一个网络联机,然后使用远程桌面将主机的画面送到 Tablet 上。这样做虽然会让影片播放之类的应用执行困难,却留下了 Tablet 离开主机后,还能通过无线网络继续 access 主机软件的可能性。

现场示范人员说这东西要能实现,快的话至少也要个一年才有可能,只能希望有厂商赶快 pick up 这个概念啰!继续阅读里有影片。

<Computex 2009: Mtube II from III*>
We think this thing might be the most innovative netbook in this year's Computex. However, it's a creation of a government organization, which means the chance to see it in the market will be slim. Basically, the lower half of this Mtube II is a normal Atom-based netbook (a modified HP2133 actually), and top half is a detachable ARM-based tablet. Under normal usage, the tablet can operate alone, however, when more processing power is needed, the tablet can be reattached to run Windows applications.

The mechanism behind this thing is simple. A network connection is patched between the tablet and the lower-half base, and a remote desktop application is used to transmit the screen from the base to the tablet. The delay in between may limits its use in video replay or similar applications; however, this design leaves the possibility open for accessing software applications running in the base via wireless connection, while the tablet part is detached from the base.

The staff onsite told us, it would take at least another year of development for this to become a practically usable solution. Meanwhile, we hope there will be some manufacturers picking up this idea and turn into something marketable. Checkout the video clip after the break.

Computex 2009:一山还有一山高,一寨还有一寨抄


****

如图所见,这是一部12.1寸的轻省笔电,为Intel Atom平台,但外型真的是似曾相识,只是厂商不给拍,Annti只好用望远镜头不开闪灯来照相,相信大家看到图片,当下应该跟Annti有着一样的感觉吧。

跳转之后可看机器与摊位的图

----
<Computex 2009: There will always be a taller mountain*, and there will always be someone more daring to copy>

As the photo illustrates, this is a 12.1" netbook running on Intel Atom platform. The appearance of it however, is something extremely familiar. Since we were denied a close-up shot, we took the photo with telescopic lens and no flashlight. By looking at the photo, we think you would know what we are referring to.

More photos about the machine and the showroom after the break.

Computex 2009:只要Double A,万事都OK - Acer Android轻省笔电



****
看来,Android也引起了宏碁的注意,在Computex 2009摆出了一部装有Android的Aspire One。型号与价格目前尚未底定,上市时间最快为今年第三季,规格与一般的Aspire One无异,因为Android需要Always Online,所以出机都会搭3G模块,因此销售方式有可能会跟电信商绑约的模式。

----
<Computex 2009: Acer Netbook with Android>
Here comes another one to jump on the Android bandwagon. We found this Aspire One with Android in Acer's showroom; model and price unknown, the earliest launch day would be sometime around Q3 this year. The expected hardware specification will be the same as the ordinary version of Aspire One, with an additional 3G module for the 'Always Online' Android.

Computex 2009:Moblin 2.0 - Linux 小笔电的救世主?


****

[34.4 秒为这台 SUSE Linux 操作系统配上 Moblin 2.0 的开机时间]

由 Intel 在台研发团队(台湾Moblin技术发展中心 Moblin Enabling Center,MEC)打造出来的 Moblin 2.0 其实是一张架在 Linux 上面的美丽外皮,而且是 Atom 专用。Moblin 的作业环境分五个区块,左上角今日工作事项、左下角重要的应用程序,中间我的文件内容以及右边我好友的现在状态,再配上最上面的导览Bar,Moblin 2.0 确实是所有 Linux 在小笔电上表现的最简洁干净好用的应用界面。

Moblin 2.0 其实最适合「还没真正学过电脑」或「轻量认知电脑」的使用者使用,因为如我妈或者是初学电脑的小朋友,Windows 对他们来说需要花时间来学习的,可能会扼杀他们使用电脑的兴趣(尤其是35岁以上的初学者)。但纵使如此,由 Linux 接手的 Moblin.org 必须承接教育的工作,不能简单丢给硬件商就开卖,这样必然有不好的结果。

另一方面,Moblin 2.0 用了将近三分之一的版面作为 SNS 最新状态的呈现,这似乎是因特网的趋势,所需要搭配必定是 3G 连网或未来的 WiMax 连网,因此 Moblin 2.0 的轻省笔电最好是通过电讯业者来推广最为适当。

当然这就是 Intel 的计谋,Intel 所为无他,就是要 Atom 卖得越多越好才是,所以才想要一整完全被击溃的 Linux 轻省笔电市场,让各家厂商愿意为了 Moblin 2.0 再推出搭载 Atom 处理器的 Linux 小笔电。所以对 Intel 来说,不管是蓝猫或者是橘猫,只要是 Atom 架构的小笔电就是好猫!

下面图集有相当精致好看的 Vodafone 小笔电图集,完全符合上面文章的讲述状况。另外还有 Acer 以 SUSE 操作系统为基础的 Moblin 2.0 Aspire One,贴纸上号称有 11 小时续航力。跳转看 Moblin 2.0 的一些操作画面讲述,或者直接看这个影片

<Computex 2009: Moblin-Linux is coming to rescue Netbooks?>

(34.4 seconds is all the time it takes for this SUSE Linux with Moblin laptop to boot up)

Moblin 2.0 is designed by Intel's development team in Taiwan. It is built on Linux and is designed specifically for Atom. You will see 5 main areas on the startup screen. In the upper left corner is the calender, lower left is the major applications, the middle is the documents, and your friends' status will appear on the right. Add a navigation bar to the top of the screen, and Moblin 2.0 becomes the cleanest and the most user-friendly operating system interface yet.

As a matter of fact, we think that Moblin 2.0 is best suited for the relatively inexperienced computer users. For example, my mom or my kids might find the standard Windows interface a little too intimidating to use. In this case, Moblin 2.0 will help smooth out the transition.

Also, Moblin 2.0 uses about one third of the area for showing SNS status. Perhpas this is the trend for Netbooks with 3G or WiMax capabilities. In this regard, it might be wise to bundle Moblin 2.0 with wireless providers.

Of course, Intel would love to see their Atom sales go up. Therefore, this might be their strategy to invade the Linux-Netbook market by encouraging more Netbook manufacturers to make more Moblin-enabled Atom Netbooks.

Here we have some fresh pictures of the new Vodafone Netbook. This particular Netbook completely matches the profile we've just described. In addition to that is the Moblin 2.0 Aspire One by Acer, which they claim has 11hr of battery life. We also have a video clip for people who are new to Moblin.

Computex 2009:使用AMD平台的大小笔电,包含ACER ZA8



****

AMD今天在Comutex 2009发布新产品,Annti太早到,不小心拍到一些东西后,就厂商被赶出来,其中比较值得注意的就是Acer型号为ZA8的笔电,CPU为 Athlon L110,频率为1.2GHz,GPU为ATi Radeon X1270,分辨率为1366 × 768,也有3G联机。Annti之前没看过这一部,而且是贴着Gateway的品牌,不过记者会还没开始,待会就知道详情了。

这次还有展出明基的Joybook Lite T131(请点我),这部内地已经发布,台湾地区还是没消没息,现场也有HP Pavilion dv2与Medion Akoya Mini E1311,除了Acer ZA8之外,这几部都是AMD Yukon平台(Sempron 210U + ATi Radeon HD 3200)。

至于其它笔电,请参考图集...

Computex 2009:NVIDIA Tegra 发布会



NVIDIA Tegra 平台今天总算正式跟大家见面了!(上图为他们家自豪的、比手掌还要小的 Tegra 平台 SoC)

今天的发表会上,主要有几个重点,一个当然是 Tegra 的技术内幕;老实说也不是啥内幕,就是 NVIDIA 的 CEO 黄仁勋(Jen-Hsun Huang)、行动事业部大头(General Manager of Mobile Businuss Unit)Michael Rayfield 在发表会上接力狂打他们家一路走来如何不断投入研发经费,然后最终达到小而省电的境界。

而当中最关键的省电技术,就是让 Tegra 平台上的一堆处理单元(如 CPU、GPU、2D 加速引擎、HD 影片编码器、HD 影片译码器、音效、影像处理组件、核心等)可以玩接力赛,在该启用的时候才启用,该睡的时候睡,让每一分电都能最有效的被使用,平均的耗电功率自然就会超低。(现场摸在跑 720p 影片 的 netbook,还真是凉到不象话! )

另一个重点,则是 Adobe 跟 NVIDIA 联袂加入了 Open Screen Project(另外还包括了 Braodcom),这计划的重点,是让 Adobe Flash Player 将来可以获得 GPU 的加持,当然 Tegra 平台的产品,也都会支持 Flash Player,可以让网络的影音内容播放更加流畅。(现场也有示范,确实相当流畅)

至于在将来 Tegra 产品的特色方面,简单条列如下:
  • 续航力方面,可连续 25 天播放音乐或播放 1080p 影片达十小时
  • 游戏中最高可以 46 fps 来播放动画
  • Adobe Flash 可利用 GPU 加速
  • 处理器可以持续在启用状态(反正耗电功率低),让使用者可以快速启动 netbook
  • 支持 3G、WiFi、WiMax 等无线通讯方式
而在售价方面,则是会有很杀的 199 美元,若获得通信商补贴,甚至可以更低;当然这次也不会让大家白跑一趟,有几家公司已经有一些概念机的推出,在现场则是以 Windows CE 执行(请参考 Mobinnova elan),各位可以在跳转后收看!

Computex 2009:ECS T800 Netbook



****

在青磁花花瓶之外,ECS 还为我们带来了这台漂亮的 ARM Netbook T800。T800 也是今年特别流行的 AA 小笔电(ARM+Android)的一员,采用的是 TI(德仪)的 OMAP3 800MHz 或 1GHz CPU,并内置 8.1" 屏幕、512MB 内存、重仅 800g。现场展示机无法开机,所以大家只有看外观流口水啦!

----
Apart from the vase, ECS also gives us the gorgeous ARM Netbook T800, which is one of the popular AA netbooks (ARM+Android). The CPU is TI OMAP3 800MHz or 1GHz, with an 8.1" screen, 512MB of RAM and only 800g weight. We couldn't turn it on, so let's gawk.

Computex 2009:多彩科技青花瓷系列轻省笔电



****
在路经多彩科技时,看到了机壳、键鼠、 喇叭、Power、笔电等等周边。看来什么都做。原本没有什么特别的感觉,但经过摆放轻省笔电的展区时,有个产品外型颇为吸引人,就是青花瓷系列产品。还记得去年跑Computex的时候,轻省笔电正夯,在展场中,有一半以上的精力几乎都绕着相关产品在跑。而现在,轻省笔电满街都是,没什么稀奇了。能吸引人的,大概也就外型了。

与厂商交流时,才注意到多彩科技为中国内地的公司,在深圳。因此也问了一下,这款产品有没有可能在台湾地区上市。他们也提到,来在这边也是为了找适合的买家。所以......就看台湾有没有厂商对这个产品有兴趣啰。

Computex 2009:Mio的12寸笔电,跑AMD Congo架构


****

Mio除了推Intel Atom的轻省笔电(Netbook),另外还有推一部12寸的版本,型号为N1210,最大的特点就是使用AMD为轻省笔电所推出的最新平台 - Congo,先将规格与特色条列如下:

1.CPU为AMD Athlon Neo MV-40,频率1.4GHz,TDP 15W
2.芯片组为RS780M + SB710
3.可顺畅播放1080p质量影片
4.分辨率为1266 × 768
5.内置3.5G模块
6.重量为1.3公斤、厚度为2.5公分
7.预载Windows 7 Home Premium版
8.上盖为皮革漆包覆,底部有特别设计过(看起来好像超大台的钻石机XD)

N1210与N890一样,预计今年第3季上市,而平台会有AMD Yukon或Congo两种,因为内置3.5G模块,也会与电信商合作。另外,从上市时间与预载Windows 7来猜测,看来微软的Windows 7就是在今年第3季正式上市吧

Computex 2009:Mobinnova élan 动手玩



****

Mobinnova élan 应该算是 Tegra 家族的 Netbook 中,最完善的一台了。elan 重不及一公斤,但跑起 720p 的影片一点问题也没有,而且持续播电影可以撑三部以上(至少七个小时)、一般使用至少 10 小时。到底 Tegra 跑起影片来如何?看继续阅读里的影片吧!

Computex 2009:华硕 Eee PC 1101HGO 动手玩



****

Eee PC 1101HGO 是昨天看到的 1101HA 的内置 3G 网络版本,除了多了 3G 外并没有什么不同。1101 和 1005 的设计是一样的,只是一台比较小台,一台比较大台而已,但这两台因为是外接式的电池(据 PM 说是因为内建 3G 的比较耗电所以采用这样的设计),所以在转轴的部份和 1008 的设计其实并不一样。但综合来说,它很明显的是 Seashell 家族的一员,质感、触感都很像。只是因为 1366x768 屏幕比较耗电的原因, 1101 不得不舍 N 系列的 Atom,改采比较省电的 Z 系列的 Atom,对效能会有一定的影响吧。

在图库里和 1101 一起叠叠乐的是 1005HGO。

p.s. 正面的 Logo 还是 Eee..
----

Eee PC 1101HGO is actually a 1101HA with built-in 3G. Everything else is essentially the same. 1101 has the same design as 1005 and only the sizes are different. However, since both of them have a bulging-out battery pack (according to Asus' PM, the larger battery compensates for the more power-hungry 3G module), they have a slightly different spindle design from 1008. Overall, 1101 is an apparent member of the Seashell family. Since the 1366x768 monitor consumes more power, 1101 uses the Z-series Atom instead of the N-series one. This may or may not have an impact on their performance.

Computex 2009:内置3.5G与GPS的Mio N890轻省笔电


****

Mio的产品现在是GPS(PND)为主力,但是在这次Computex,现场展示了一部轻省笔电(Netbook),型号为N890,为Mio第一款轻省笔电,先将特色整理如下:

1.Intel Atom N270+Intel 945SE平台
2.内置GPS与3.5G
3.8.9寸,重量880克,机身厚度为2.5公分
4.键盘为全尺寸89%,且「,./」3兄弟没有缩水
5.硬盘为SSD
6.导航软件为Mio Map
7.有重力感应,可侦测机身位置来旋转屏幕
8.电源接头为磁吸式(与MAC一样)
9.上盖为皮革漆包覆,底部几乎没贴纸(美底设计)
10.Mitac代工

这部给Annti的第一印象很不错,可惜屏幕没有触控也不能转头,N890预计在今年第3季上市,因为有3.5G模块的关系,销售模式会与电信商合作,会先在欧洲铺货,至于价格方面,现场人员是说与现在主流8.9寸接近。


----
Mio is known for their GPS (PND) products. However, they showcased a new Netbook this year at Computex. It's called N890 and this is their first attempt at the Netbook market. Here are the specs:

1.Intel Atom N270+Intel 945SE platform
2. Built-in GPS and 3.5G
3.8.9" scree, weighs 880g, 2.5 cm thick
4.89% full-sized keyboard and you still have your ",./ " 3 very important keys
5.hard drive isSSD
6.Has Mio Map pre-loaded
7.Gravity sensor. It will automatically rotate the display.
8.Mag-safe type of power port
9.The case is painted in a leather-like texture
10.OEM by Mitac

This Netbook gives us a pretty good first impression. We are a bit disappointed because it doesn't have a touch screen nor does it have a swivel monitor. We can expect to see it in 3rd quater this year. Since it has built-in 3G, the atual sale will be bundled with a carrier. It will probably appear in Europe first, and the pricing is said to be "competitive."

Computex 2009:一狗票跑窗口七号的笔电


****
这次微软摊位主打的一大主题就是Windows 7,现场放了一堆已经安装Windows 7的笔电(RC build 7100),从商用导向的轻省笔电Acer Aspire One Pro到Sharp的都有。

其中比较特别的是Sharp Mebius PC-NJ70Apro,内置触控板屏幕,同样也支持Windows 7。跳转之后可看Sharp Mebius PC-NJ70Apro与规格,图集可看其它笔电。



Computex 2009:技嘉 Myou 超薄 Netbook

技嘉的 Myou(音「买欧」)其实就是 CeBIT 之前发表的 10 寸三剑客当中的 S1024。规格上它就是一台普通的 Netbook,但是轻薄得多。雾面金属的涂装让它看起来比想象中的 Netbook 还要有质感得多,但或许是这种先入为主的感觉,拿起来只有 900 公克的重量,让拿着的感觉反差更大。

继续阅读里有介绍的影片喔!

----

Gigabyte's Myou is actually the 10" S1024 shown at CeBIT a while ago. On paper, it looks like a conventional Netbook, but it's much lighter. The metallic paint makes it look a lot better than most Netbooks we've seen so far. It feels only 900 g in our hands, but that's just our 2 cents.
