How long until these are shoved in PDAs? They seem to be not too far off the adjusted price of the 64meg MMC specified as a special order in my SL45 over seven years ago. and could fill or shift its content in well under a second.
From Inq -
SAMSUNG HAS released a new generation of solid state disks that uses native SATA-IIinterface for fastest possible transfer speed.
These new drives come in 1.8 and 2.5-inch formats, and feature 960 Mbps sequential read and 800 Mbps sequential write speed respectively, corresponding to speeds of 120MB/s and 100MB/s.
Using the latest generation of NAND chips, Samsung almost doubled the speed of its current line-up, which we got a chance to review last weekend (separate article coming right up).
1.8-inch model weighs only 40g, while the power consumption of both is rated at just 0.7W..
This is the very first SSD that not just rivals, but surpasses conventional HDD's in speed, and in the case of 1.8-inch subnotebook market - matches capacity as well.

I happened to catch this today and looked at the specs and the price. I couldn't help but compare it to the Archos 101.
http://www.buy.com/prod/superpad-10.../q/loc/111/listingid/135638472/220692978.html
Anyone know more about it? Other than being OS 2.1, it seems to have some nice extras over the 101 like built in GPS and an Ethernet jack.
Features
Display: 10.2" TFT Touch Screen (1024 x 600 resolution)
OS: Android 2.1 Processor: ARM11 1Ghz - RAM: 256MB DDR2
Internal Hard Drive: 2GB Flash with 2 TF slots for expansion (supports MicroSD 32GB max)
Ports: 2 x USB 2.0, 2 x MicroSD Slots, Mini HDMI, DC Jack, 3.5mm
Headphone/Line-Out, RJ45 Ethernet
GPS Antenna and Stylus Included
is it captive touchscreen? i would guess not because if it was you wouldn't need a stylus.
Haven't seen this particular tablet before, but seen hundreds like it.
There's no way they can provide all those specs without cutting corners, which means the overall experience won't be great. Also, looking at the images, looks like they've stuck a custom launcher on top.
This is probably one of the reasons Google have withheld the Honeycomb source code. If they released it now, any fly-by-night startup can churn out poor quality, cheap tablets running HC. People pick these up based on the "great price" and then find out they're a PITA to use, with none of the smoothness, flair or ease of use that you'd get with a Xoom, Transformer or (say it quietly) an iPad. The opinion they then come to? "Android is rubbish."

Hello,
Just got one.
This one only has 1 Micro Slot.
Positive:
Wifi, thouch screen and GPS function well.
Easy to install from the market.
I love the size because it's so much easier to use than an android phone.
It's an external GPS receiver
The display is fine.
Stylus is usefull because some web buttons are soooooooooooo small
Negative:
Power cable connection broke within 24 hours
USB is not activated/blocked for PC connection
Two hardware buttons sank in frame (still can use them)
Helen
its a tft, that means resistive touch...
My wife has one:
- speed is (much) less than the Archos
- battery life is down to 20 minute max (!) after some months
Hello everyone!
First of all thanks to those who read and / or respond and sorry for my English.
I'm thinking of building a build with a budget around €450\€500.
The use that I will make of this pc is relatively basic, casual game without big pretensions, surfing the web, streaming, watching videos, music, modding with the phone and the like, but I would like a good pc, which at least as long as my current one, 14 years old, (that's why it's time to retire that acer intel 2 duo).
Let's get down to business, the configuration I thought of (after hours of research and pricing) is this.
{For the moment without a dedicated video card because otherwise I have to sell a kidney ...}
MOBO:
ASUS TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS WIFI LGA 1200;
CPU:
IINTEL i3 10320 or 10100;
RAM:
G.SKILL RIPJAWS V DDR4 3200 MHZ 8GB (2X4GB) CL16;
SSD:
SAMSUNG 980 M.2 250 GB PCI EXPRESS 3.0 V-NAND NVME;
PSU:
EVGA 450 80+ BRONZE 450W
CASE:
AEROCOOL BIONIC -G-BK-V2;
in addition I also have 4 hhd sata, 320gb, 250gb, 160gb and 120gb, which I will replace later with a 500gb or 1tb hdd or ssd.
This is my starting point while staying in a budget of 480 €, which I would later like to enrich with a new hdd \ ssd, dedicated video card, and maybe 2 more ram banks. I chose this motherboard because I trust asus and then in a more distant future I can replace the cpu with an 11th generation one.
What do you think?
Advice?
some advice
for cpu: i have no comment/advice. assuming you already know the 10100 have integrated gpu and also comes with cooler
for mobo: do you have router/modem installed in your house (direct lan connection pc to router). if you do have, you dont need extra wifi module for your mobo, go for non wifi version instead or asus prime b560m (if its cheaper)
for ram/case: if you're fine with second hand ram/case, try looking that instead (ram with 2x8GB), it might be cheaper buying second hand ram/case than buying brand new.
for psu: dont cheap out your psu, if you're planning for upgrade adding gpu later its best to have good quality psu first. do your research, if you dont have money still, you can search for second hand good quality PSU atleast 500w 80+ bronze is minimum for rtx 30 /rx 6000 (evga br/bq, corsair, coolermaster, be quiet, fractal)
storage: samsung 980 is good ssd, but 256gb is not enough. i dont recommend you buying second hand ssd, there is still cheap but good ssd 2.5 inch sata
for the laptop itself: upgrading ram, upgrading to 2.5inch ssd, and install linux just for fun might a good idea, or just be a backup in case there is trouble with your new pc
hope it help you
edit: added be quiet, fractal brand
@Animalizers hi!
Thanks for reading and replying and for the good advice.
For the cpu I'm opting for the 10320 because I find it almost at the same price as the 10100, it seems a minimum more performing.
Yes, I know that it has the integrated gpu, so for the moment I can use the pc without having to take a dedicated graphics.
For the mobo I have seen that with b560m (prime or others) without wifi it costs less, however, having a router a bit far from where I will mainly go to put the pc (I will use a smart TV as a monitor) the cable connection would be cumbersome for daily use, is the reason why the wifi module is more convenient.
For the ram \ case \ psu I prefer the new one because I find the ram at 43 € \ + -50 $, the case at the same price as the ram and the psu the same.
I don't know how much I could save with the used one, but at that price it is definitely better to have a 2 or more year warranty.
Always for the ram I am undecided on the frequency, because I have read that the 10100 \ 10320 supports a maximum of 2666mhz and perhaps with the xmp profiles I can not make them work at 3200mhz, even if in anticipation of a cpu upgrade it is better to have them already at 3200 too if for the moment they will work without.
For the psu and the ssd you are right, in anticipation of a future upgrade, it is better to have a 500 \ 550w psu and a minimum of 500gb ssd, even if I intend to install only the so and some programs, then for the rest of the data use the other hhd's and keep the ssd as clean as possible.
For the laptop I have already increased the ram (recycled from another broken one) to 4gb, but the system can only manage 3 and 1 for the hardware, only that many programs I use do not run with linux so I am forced to use it with that boulder of win10 (I really care, it was my first pc ) in fact I thought I would immediately take an SSD to then transfer to the new one, I will definitely keep it as a spare, as I keep another desktop assembled by me with recycled pieces from other computers but he too is very obsolete mounts an amd athton 64x2, also 3gb ram and with linux it is pretty good.
now I would really like to have something of the new generation, as I said before I have been standing still for 14 years with my Acer but now it is very tried, look at these photos
I bought optiplex 990 renewed version from Amazon at just 180 pounds. It has i7 processor, 16gb ram, 250gb ssd + 1tb HDD, Windows 10 pro OEM installed.
Only down side is, it has only integrated intel graphics 2000HD. But if you purchase Nvida gt1030 low profile grafics card for another 80 pounds, will easily fit in to the rig...
@manurahim hi!
hi! I have seen the refurbished of amazon and for those prices they are apeatable offers.
However, as I said before, my maximum budget is 500 euros which would be more or less 428 pounds or 580 dollars, my intent is to assemble a pc with a penultimate or last generation configuration, therefore trying to avoid pre-assembled or reconditioned \ regenerated.
In those I have seen on Amazon are mounted i5 \ i7 second, third or maximum fourth generation, this means that they are cpu of 2011 \ 2012 and are almost the age of my acer.
Note that an i7 2xxx or 3xxx has the same features as an i3 10xxx, only it is a newer (2020) cpu and is on the win11 compatible cpu list.
I would like to assemble it myself because I like to do it and then with a good research and a little patience you can save something compared to a pre-assembled configuration
Oh. Ok.

Why not just do the core i5 10400, or 10400f ? I mean there's a maybe $60 difference, and performance is right nice for the price. Same with mobo, go a z490 or z590 and give some future upgrades. I just ordered a msi z590A pro and a 10600k for $399

i looked and with that extra $ 60 i go over budget, surely the performance with that cpu and motherboard is better, but with 390 $ I get the b560 (with wifi which for me is very useful even if I lose some features with a less expensive chipset) the 10320 and the ram

Way back in 2014 my son and I built this PC with parts we purchased locally in Mumbai.
The idea was to build a PC on which my son could play games.
This was and still is the configuration....
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz
Memory 16 GB DDR
Hard Disk: 1 TB
Monitor : 24 in Acer
Graphic Card : Asus nvidia GTX 750ti
Monitor Resolution 1920x1080 pixels
Cabinet : Circle Gaming Cabinet CC 821
SMPS: Corsair VS Series VS550 - 550 Watt SMPS
Keyboard: RedGear
After my son moved on to a PC with better specs, I got my hands on it and have been using this device for the last 3 years. My use has been restricted to Office work. The only high performance task I do is the occasional building of a custom ROM. That required the 16 GB of RAM. It also takes about 3-4 hours. Off late have stopped building ROM's and stick to browse, email, chat all office related stuff. Occasionally use GIMP to edit photos for social media posts. That justifies the RAM.
Have added the following two hardware components.
Audio : Use bOAT Aavante Bar 1130 60 W 2.0 channel soundbar connected to the speaker socket
Printer: HP DeskJet 2332
The OS for the past 4 years has been Ubuntu and the current version running is 20.04.4 LTS...waiting for the 22.04 LTS to be released.
With the old proverb 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' at the back of my mind, thinking of upgrading the PC before it collapses and leaves me stranded.... Looking for some tips on this forum.
I wouldn't bother upgrading it, save perhaps for installing a SATA SSD drive if your 1TB drive is the traditional kind, or better yet a PCI-E M.2 drive adapter if you have a spare PCI slot.
I'd maybe re-apply thermal paste to the CPU and give the heatsink and filters a good clean but otherwise it just isn't worth the bother.
If you are going from traditional HDD to an SSD you will appreciate the boost.
for a few bucks you can get a win 7 pro license and use it to install windows 10. A sata SSD would be a nice addition. Nvme might not work without some bios modding to add nvme driver to it.
I am Yamaris Johnson. I am using a gaming laptop [https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/d/gaming]. I want to purchase a new SSD for my gaming laptop. I was using HDD storage, but my laptop was getting slow and heating up also. So, I thought I should take another one.
To provide some background,
When considering storage for my laptop, I need to consider a lot of factors, not just the amount of storage the drive has. When I choose the type of SSD for my device, I need to consider the speed, readability, noise, and power usage.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) are the most common storage drives today.
SSDs are smaller and faster than hard disc drives (HDDs).
SSDs are noiseless and allow PCs to be thinner and more lightweight.
Hard disc drives (HDDs) are more common in older devices.
If you primarily use your PC for web browsing and light work, you may not need as much storage space.
If you work with large videos or files, you may want more storage.
If you use OneDrive or another cloud storage service for photos and files, you may need less storage on your device.
If anyone has any suggestions, please share them.
Thank you for your time.

Maybe Seagate FireCuda
When it comes to gaming laptops, the fastest type of SSD is the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSD. This type of SSD uses the PCIe interface and has faster read and write speeds compared to SATA SSDs, which use the SATA interface. NVMe SSDs can provide faster boot times, faster game loading times, and improved overall system performance. However, it's worth noting that the difference in speed may not be noticeable in all gaming scenarios, and other factors such as the CPU and GPU may also impact gaming performance.
Actually I'm using a NVME compatible with my Dell G5 5590
It's the evergreen Samsung 980 Pro, it shines as the first day even after more than a year.
No need to buy a new SSD that costs the same and I cannot use the full speed
When it comes to choosing an SSD for gaming laptops, the fastest type of SSD is the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSD. NVMe SSDs typically have faster read and write speeds compared to traditional SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) SSDs, which can result in faster boot times, faster game loading times, and overall improved system performance.
NVMe SSDs use the PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) interface, which provides faster data transfer rates than the SATA interface used by traditional SSDs. NVMe SSDs also have a higher number of input/output operations per second (IOPS) than SATA SSDs, which means they can handle more simultaneous data requests and provide faster access to data.
So, if you're looking for the fastest SSD for your gaming laptop, I would recommend looking for an NVMe SSD with a high read and write speed, as this will provide the best overall performance for gaming and other demanding tasks.
