notebook for sale

Samsung downsized and reduced a few specs to make the new Samsung Galaxy Player 50 (YP-G50), like it did with Wave 723, by downsizing the Wave. The Super AMOLED screen is gone also, to further reduce the price of the new portable media player. But even the Galaxy Tab has a TFT screen, so that’s not a new thing in the Galaxy family.
Galaxy Player 50 is really nice, featuring a 3.2-inch WQVGA LCD with multitouch capability, Android 2.1 and 8 or 16 GB of internal storage, with microSD expansion up to 32 GB. It also features a mic, 2 megapixels camera on the back and support for Wi-Fi (802.11n), Bluetooth 3.0, A-GPS and G-sensor. So, basically, it is almost a smartphone. The lack of the GSM antenna isn’t that bad, for the Facebook and Twitter generation and with free Wi-Fi hot-spots all around.
Galaxy Player 50 feels like an Android smartphone, when using it. Runs smooth and fast and it has Google Maps Navigation on board, along with the Android Market and all other standard Android apps.
The virtual keyboard is not that good, but that’s not a big issue.
If you’re an old timer and you like having dedicated devices rather than all-in-ones, Galaxy Player 50 could be the best alternative, so far, to the iPod Touch. The Android 2.1 Eclair is fully utilized by this player and the support for DivX files makes your life easier, skipping the need of converting when transferring multimedia files on the player. Basically, it is a Galaxy S smarphone, but without the cellular connectivity, Super AMOLED LCD and a downgraded camera.
YP-G50 is expected to be available soon on the market and the nice ad you can see after the break confirms that. Funny thing is that some retailers already sell it, in France, at €199 for the 8GB version and €249 for the 16 GB version. Pretty fair prices i might say.

Sprint announced two notebooks with built-in support for both 3G and 4G. The custom versions of the Dell Mini 10 and the Dell Inspiron 11z can acces either regular EVDO or WiMAX to have speeds up to 6 Mb/s with a fallback when 4G isn’t available.
Both notebooks are enhanced version of their regular versions. Mini 10 netbook is powered by a Intel Atom N450, 1 GB of RAM and a 250 GB HDD. For the 1080p video playback it has a Broadcom Crystal HD, but that’s not a fully functional feature; it is well known that on low speced netbooks or tablets, sometimes is stucking even with 720p content (when we’re talking about MPEG-4 AVC files, using high complexity encoding settings).
The Inspiron 11z is way more powerful than the Dell Mini 10, because it features a better CPU, the Intel Core i3 ULV. Consuming less power than standard-voltage Core i3, i5, and i7 processors (the TDPs of 17 watts are 50% lower than the regular counterparts), the ULV versions of these processor are also slightly less powerful.
Core i3 ULV really helps attaining a higher battery life, but also provides enough juice to be an interesting choice. This Core i3 ULV configuration is not available at Dell (their configs have Pentium and Celeron CPUs). There are not too many details available about the full configuration, but it is likely to have at least 2GB of DDR3 memory.

 Dell Inspiron Mini 10
Dell Mini 10 will be available soon, on Halloween, for the business buyers. Sprint is planning to give the Mini 10 for free, with contracts and after a $100 rebate. Inspiron 11z will cost at least $150, with a similar contract and the rebate we mentioned already.
