Four Pounds of Productivity
S3 Graphics Unveils Economical DirectX 10.1 GPUIt may not really be on AMD and Nvidia's radar, but S3 Graphics hopes to be on PC makers' and consumers' shopping lists with a low-priced, low-power-consumption graphics processor that features cutting-edge technologies such as DirectX 10.1, OpenGL 3.0, and Blu-ray support and DisplayPort and HDMI capability.

Microsoft To Offer Free PC Security PlatformSymantec (Norton), McAfee, and a handful of other vendors lead the way when it comes to firewall, antivirus, and other malware-fighting solutions. Next year, however, Microsoft will replace its own subscription-fee security service with a consumer kit priced below those firms' products: free.

New USB Flash Drives: 64GB from Kingston, eSATA from KanguruMore and more PCs provide external Serial ATA ports for speedy storage devices -- and now Kanguru Solutions fits the interface to a flash drive rather than a hard disk. If you're content with USB 2.0 but want more capacity, Kingston Technology can put 64GB on your keychain.

HP Intros Multi-Touch Tablet PCLike the snazzy touch-screen interface of HP's TouchSmart all-in-one desktop PCs? The same iPhone-style two-finger gestures are now alternatives to the keyboard of a 4.6-pound convertible notebook with unique multimedia software and AMD dual-core power.

Gateway's FX Gaming Series Gets X58 and Core i7 MuscleAn ATI Radeon HD 4850 card in the base model? Not too shabby. The HD 4870 X2, i7-940, and Intel SSD in the deluxe model? Whoa. Retail shoppers may not fully realize what they're getting from Gateway's newest desktops.

Lexmark X6650 Wireless 4-in-1 ReviewWanna buy a printer, copier, fax, and scanner for $32.50 each? Lexmark's latest entry in the multifunction market is a $130 inkjet all-in-one with a few handy extras (wireless network printing and an automatic document feeder, for instance) and some of the nicest utility software we've seen. But do its print quality and speed hold up their end of the bargain?

SimpleTech [re]Drive ReviewThe USB 2.0 external hard drives you can plug into your PC range from square to cylindrical, from bulky to slim. A new 500GB model from Fabrik's SimpleTech brand stands out from the crowd with a case partly made of bamboo -- a renewable resource that highlights the drive's green and clean credentials, if not its mixed bag of data backup options.

Canon Pixma MX7600 Office All-in-One ReviewInvisible ink? Isn't that just for spies? Canon doesn't think so -- its $400 flagship inkjet printer/copier/scanner uses a special clear ink to give output on cheap plain paper the laser-sharp, free-of-fuzzies quality that usually requires coated inkjet paper. And in-house printing will never be the same.

Platform Trends: Intel's Core i7: Quad-Core of SolaceIt's not true that every new Intel processor brings a different new motherboard socket to dash upgrade hopes: The Core i7 brings two. Even so, Vince Freeman says, the new CPU shows such a combination of brute force and flair it might be called the i007. Here's a look under the hood, with some thoughts about why the Core i7 needs more than one chipset and why AMD might be more competitive than you think.

Platform Trends: Taking the X58 Express to the FutureRadical changes in Intel's Core i7 processor bring radical changes to the usually evolutionary, not revolutionary, desktop chipset sector. The X58 Express takes advantage of the i7's onboard memory controller to allow colossal bandwidth, with a new QuickPath Interface speeding communication between chipset and CPU. But when it comes to peripheral support, Intel's looking strictly forward, not back.

Platform Trends: Nvidia and AMD Take Graphics in Different DirectionsNo niche is too small for the PC graphics giants to cram in a new product, but AMD's ATI Radeon HD 4000 series has lacked an entry in the $100 to $150 price range preferred by avid but unwealthy gamers -- until now. Meanwhile, Nvidia targets even more frugal desktop shoppers with faster-than-Intel integrated graphics ... although both vendors have already done that with under-$60 dedicated cards.

Platform Trends: AMD's Entry-Entry-Level Graphics ProcessorYou've heard of sharing the wealth, but AMD is doing it with a vengeance: Even though its ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2, 4870, and 4670 graphics processing units now rule the high-end, mainstream, and entry-level segments, the company has added two more members to the HD 4000 family at a lower-than-low $55 and $39. Is there a market for deliberately limited-performance PC graphics? Vince Freeman says yes indeed.

Platform Trends: Nehalem Set to Fly with the X58After four years of LGA775 processors and motherboards, the socket-shufflers at Intel have struck again. But this time tossing your old platform is worth the cost. The Core i7 "Nehalem" CPU's all-new architecture promises a performance revolution. And the X58 desktop chipset may be even more impressive, combining colossal bandwidth with a three-channel memory controller, the return of Hyper-Threading, and a graphics-card surprise.

Save Us, Windows 7!Retail sales are falling like a skydiver without a parachute. The fearsome R-word -- recession -- has become the E-word, said by everyone every day. Is there any good news for the PC industry amid the doom and gloom? Yes, from some unlikely sources (let's hear it for hardcore gamers) and from users and IT managers suddenly looking favorably on that favorite bugaboo, Microsoft.

Mini Mobile PCs: Now Comes the Hard PartIt's a myth that lightning never strikes the same place twice, but what are the odds against catching lightning in a bottle twice? The ultralight, ultra-affordable subnotebook PC category that the Asus Eee ignited last winter will soon see a second generation of what are now called netbooks -- but this time around, it might be Eee II: The Laptop Strikes Back.

Falling Off the CatwalkThe economy's in a slump and PCs are in danger of becoming interchangeable commodity products anyway. So how can hardware manufacturers perk up sales and prop up profit margins? Chrome trim and pretty colors, of course, as vendors ranging from Dell to Staples introduce limited-edition artistic cases and fashionable decorations. HardwareCentral editor Eric is bemused. Apple is unworried.

The Best, the Worst, and the Ugliest: 2007Asleep by 10:30? Not at the Labs, Weather, & Sports Desk, where New Year's Eve is like any other midnight -- time to start a fresh count of the day's Diet Pepsis, along with a last look over the, uh, vista of the dozen months past. Our seventh annual flashback bounces from nifty notebooks and cool Web tools to HDTV headaches, poorly launched processors, and a surprise pick for Product of the Year.

The Tick-Tock of Doom, or For Whom Intel TollsProcessor upgrades: just say no? HardwareCentral editor Eric won't go that far, but finds reasons not to tie your purchases to Intel's newly announced policy of scheduling new CPU designs and less radical manufacturing and power-saving improvements for alternate years. He also covets a 433MHz notebook and considers the apocalypse: putting a Mac on the Labs, Weather, & Sports Desk.
