10:00AM Nick Broughall | Don’t think for a second that our portly appearance and lazy demeanor means that we’re not hardcore. When we do stumble outside, it’s with one of these Oregon Scientific ATC5K rugged helmet cams attached to our heads, now that they’re available in Australia, and if that doesn’t make us hardcore, we don’t know what does… More »

Black-Hawk XR5 Laptops to Have Dual GeForce 8800s, Core 2 Quad Processor
7:54AM Adrian Covert | With the inclusion of two 512 MB GeForce Go 8800GTX graphics cards, the Black-Hawk XR5 will be the first laptop to feature such graphical power. Along with a 17-inch screen, Core 2 Quad processor and EV-DO support, Black-Hawk clearly is not messing around, and intend for the XR5 to be a Desktop replacement. However, our friends over at Maximum PC say the XR5 images shown are renders (vapor alert!), and with so much horsepower in this thing, it will probably run hot, making it not lap-friendly. No price has been announced as of yet, but if all goes to plan the Black-Hawk XR5 will reach consumers in December, hopefully with a good cooling system.

The experts, however, disagree: while strong, especially in the graphics department, the Phenoms are falling short on the frequency front compared to equivalent Intel processors. More »
