Amazing...


Three new models of desktop PC series have been launched into the market by HP. The three models of the Pavilion Slimline series are s3000, a6000 and m8000. The first one comes with 1GB of RAM, and you can pick either a AMD CPU or an Intel CPU, but for the later you have to pay an extra 50$. If not you can buy it for 500$. The PC can be set with a low graphic card, maybe a TV tuner and a Pocket Media Drive.

You can buy the a6000 at a lower price then the s3000. It’s just 330$ but you would be throwing off some memory because it has only 512 MB of RAM. But the bright side is that it comes with an Intel CPU, a Pocket Media Drive and a graphics card. But the “jewel of the crown” is the m8000. And the price says so to. At 950$ it has a DVD drive and again you can pick between a dual core AMD or Intel processor. All three models have Windows Vista preinstalled.

Samsung F480 Tocco


The fact that Samsung is a well known brand primarily because of its habit to consistently launch advance mobile devices, is one which is perhaps known by all the users of this brand. Hence the advance features show themselves once again in the Samsung F480 Tocco and that too with an astonishing level of performance. The camera has the standard resolution of 5 MP, but what makes it different is its ability to take instant pictures when a person is smiling by the technology of camera face detection. 232 MB sounds quite large and it indeed is, and it is the total amount of internal memory that the Samsung F480 Tocco has. Hence the memory feature needs no further explanation of its greatness but one thing further can be added and that is that this mobile device has a card slot which can be used to increase the memory to an impressive amount of 8 GB by using a microSD(TransFlash) memory card. The Samsung F480 Tocco therefore glistens with brilliance in its features.
