Dell Latitude X1’s first look
The company bought two notebooks and the model is strange: Dell Latitude X1.
Why say strange? Because you can not find this model in dell’s website. The reason given by agency is that X1 is only recommanded to large customers so it is not listed in the site.
X1 is nearly the highest price notebook in dell’s series. It has a 12inch wide screen ( 16:9 ) and a ultra-low-voltage 1.1g CPU. Then I upgrade the ram to 512M and disk to 60G.
The first look brings me a surprise. Dell is always making large and heavy notebooks in my memory:) But X1 is the absolutely different one: small, light weight, somewhat beautiful I think.
Here’s some advantage and disadvantage of X1.
Advantage:
- Light weight
- Beautiful look
- Has a SD and CF reader ( someone said it can support MS too )
- Power switch’s design seems like apple, which can release green light at night
- Keyboard is good in small notebooks
- Has seperate wifi and bluetooth indicator light
Disadvantage:
- I worry about its shell technics. It maybe fall off after one year’s using and then will be ugly…
- Problem of heat especially in the right down corner
- Has too many labels in it’s back ( 10 )
- Omit PS2 COM LPT, so it will be not enough for only 2 USB port
- No PCMCIA!
- No TV-OUT!
Here’s some pictures of X1 and my N410c:)

Windows on Treo, it’s true
Let’s continue the topic of yesterday. It comes, so fast!See the links above, you can find the great news yourself.
All the technology specific is the exactly same as we expected. But after carefully searching, I still can not find the resolution of the new Treo700w. Has it been decided?
From the announce pictures, we can see the different idea of the two company. It’s interesting.

Treo700w seems true
It has been a long time since I heard the news of Treo700, the next generation of Treo, would use Windows Mobile system. All the Treo fans include me kept thinking it’s just a joke. But it seems more and more believable.
The first blurred picture, the fisrt article about engineering device, the first clear look… until several days ago, it is said Palm, Microsoft and Verizon ( a large mobile network provider in US ) hold a news-release meeting together. All of these tell us, the Treo700w is true.
Maybe the failure of buy-back PalmSource is a important thing. A Japanese company called Access took the Palmsource in its bag. After that PalmOne ( now change its name to Palm again ) has to be a purely device maker.
From the Treo700w’s name, we can imagine it will probably a model called Treo700p. Then the Treo will more like our PC, just a machine, you can choose the OS, hehe.
But the technology parameter of Treo700w is still strange: Windows Mobile 5.0 system, 1m camera, 64m memory. But the picture shows the screen is a square. So what is the resolution, 240*240 or 320*320? I think both are unacceptable:)
OK here’s the comparable picture of Treo650 and expected Treo700w. Let’s look forward to it.
