SKYCROSS INTRODUCES COMBO ANTENNA FOR WIFI AND BLUETOOTH

SkyCross has introduced a combination antenna that can handle Bluetooth and WiFi 802.11b/g/n. Called iMAT, the antenna allows you to use both Bluetooth and WiFi at the same time because of its ability to isolate the signals.

Netbooks are small devices that do not have a lot of room inside to accommodate multiple cards necessary for WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G modules. While many laptops come with all the three, manufacturers are sometimes forced to sacrifice one or two to save space. That is why chip makers like Atheros have started combining the functionality of multiple wireless dongles onto a single chip. While this is a good idea it still requires users to carry separate antennas for WiFi and Bluetooth. The SkyCross iMAT should be able to solve this problem. But still this is not an all-in-one solution as it doesn’t support 3G modules.

Dell expected some much required awareness in 2007 with the preamble of the sleek, elevated performance XPS M1330 and XPS M1530 laptops. Like all Vostro launches, the 1510 doesn't come in numerous colors or flaunt lid patterns. Black is your solitary option. However, this year Dell determined to get rid of the dull black finish in errand of a lustrous black finish with just an intimation of metal flake. The black coat with the fine metal flakes is laid in with the moulds so there's no peril of the polished finish coming off.

Performance

Sager provides a Notebook for everyone. Irrespective of whether you’re a hardcore gamer, mobile internet addict or a combination of both the two you are sure to discover a laptop that will match your requirements from Sager. The Sager NP6790 matches gamers with the low voltage Geforce 8400 graphics card, providing added battery existence than the supplementary powerful graphics cards.

Design
The 1st intuition on the NP6790 is its crystal clean design. A sparkled dark metal appearing plastic on the hood looks very reputable no matter what is the purpose you are purchasing the laptop. Most laptop vendors slap their label straight on the middle of the lid but that is never the way for Sager. Sager perfects a spotless smooth lid with a minuscule insignia on the top left of the cover that reads: “Sager Notebook Computer.”
Performance
The display, like all Sagers, is amazingly sharp and bright, enclosing a lot of properties from the Sager’s earlier versions like the 5460, 9260 and 5790 variants. This model holds the 17" WXGA (1440 x 900).

The placate level on the keyboard is regular. The keyboard is in a grand arrangement for typing. The laptop is thin so seated too high off the ground is never a distress.

The Touchpad on the NP6790 riddles me. Sager had this mastered already way long back on their previous Sager laptops, on the other hand for some strange reason the scroll bar is not as proficient as it was on the previous variants. There are 3 Hot Keys provided for Application situated at the top of the keyboard. These have turned out to be customary on all of the sager models. Wi-Fi is not a choice in the NP6790 rather it is a regular feature.

There are 2 speakers situated on the left and right side of the NP6790 laptop.
The eminence of the webcam pictures are very meager evaluated to earlier sager models.

The NP6790 does an enormously cool job recognizing high CPU progressions and amends the fans consequently. The battery love affair with notebook reaches its peak performance when it comes to battery life. The battery is a super cool performer end of the day.

Overall
This a notebook which really calls in to reveal the future contents of s regular notebook. Sager takes the big leap by being the first to show off its prowess’s. Good multimedia features clubbed with decent display and good battery this is a real cool combo on offer. Overall a competition, that the contenders in the laptop industry couldn’t avoid.

Pros
+ Multifaceted features
+ Graphics & cooling
+ Battery life

Cons
- Design cues getting compared to old versions.
- Disappointing touchpad framing.
