By virtue of the OLED-Display technology and a multi touch screen the utility of a laptop computer with its weight of a mini-notebook and screen size of 13 inch easily transforms into the graphics tablet, which with its 17-inch flat screen can be also used as a primary monitor. On top of everything else all computer utilities from power supply through the holding belt to an interactive pen are integrated in Rolltop. This is really an all-in-one gadget.

With the desktop PC receding as the basic hardware for connecting users to the web, many equations are changing. For Google Inc. (GOOG – Analyst Report), which has dominated the search market on the desktop platform for awhile now, this could be regarded as a threat to its leadership position. Many top market research points to the fact that mobile platforms will overtake the PC over the next few years. Evidence of this is the already elevated growth rates for mobile computing devices and cell phones.
Google’s competition for search market share primarily comes from Microsoft Corp. (MSFT – Analyst Report) and Yahoo Inc. (YHOO – Analyst Report), although local companies such as Baidu (BIDU – Snapshot Report) in China add to the competition. A new entrant in the space is Apple Inc. (AAPL – Analyst Report), which has recently made investments and initiated data collection actions that indicate its growing interest.
In the mobile connected hardware market, which includes devices such as cell phones, notebooks, netbooks and other mobile Internet products, the major players with most of the recent success include Apple, Research in Motion (RIMM – Snapshot Report) and Hewlett Packard Co. (HPQ – Analyst Report). Nokia Corp. (NOK – Analyst Report) is also a big contender, although the company is currently going through a bad stretch.
The thing that enables the hardware to operate and connect to the Internet is software, principally the operating systems (OS) of the devices that were created by Apple, Research in Motion, Microsoft, Symbian and now Google. Therefore, control of the operating system market is one way of getting to the search market and this is the strategy Google is currently employing.
Google has taken all possible measures to expand Android-based devices and it now appears that Android will outgrow all other contemporary operating systems both in the U.S. and abroad.
The company also has its own cell phone (Nexus One) and is planning an Android-based netbook to be manufactured by Acer. However, these devices are more likely to be used to show off Google’s software and we don’t expect the company to focus on hardware sales. There are two reasons for this. First, selling hardware is a deviation from Google’s core competency and second, Google’s ad serving business is much more profitable.
So instead Google continues to focus on search, having acquired AdMob recently to bolster its mobile search expertise. It also continues to introduce faster and better versions of Android that could attract more buyers. Now if Google attempts to pre-install the new Chrome browser on Android devices, it could more straightforwardly direct users to its search and other web services.
Additionally, in line with an EU ruling in December 2009, Microsoft will have to offer users a choice of browsers, which is another opportunity for Google to offer its new Chrome browser.
While Google’s execution has been particularly good, the company has also had its share of negative publicity. Therefore, although we are increasingly positive about its prospects, we are reiterating our Neutral rating and short term Hold recommendation, which is the equivalent of a Zacks #3 Rank.

In fact, “Laptop” and “Video Editing” wouldn’t go together as laptop graphics were normally onboard and use shared memory that has limited capacity. Recent breakthrough by NVIDIA and ATI’s high end technology have made it possible to fit video editing cards into PCIe slots of laptops that has made laptops quite competitive in comparison to desktops.
HP (Hewlett-Packard) has achieved a great feat by launching Mobile Workstation series that can deliver similar results which a high end desktop delivers. HP developed its DreamColor technology at SIGGRAPH 2008, to stay even with technology innovation and offers its consumers with able workstations which are specifically required. This technological evolution of HP’s mobile workstations has bridged the gap between a laptop’s utility and the new generation of visual computing consumers.
HP EliteBook 8530W is one of such latest mobile workstation series that is loaded with following features like:
Intel Core 2 Duo processor NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M – 512 MB Energy Star qualified 8-cell (73 WHr) Lithium-Ion
The HP EliteBook 8530W has replaced the 8510W model in the market. If you still have 8510W models in your office, then my recommendation is to go for an upgradation.
Internally, the 8530W model has an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9400 (2.53 GHz, 6 MB L2 cache, and 1066 MHz FSB). The chipset is too loaded with powerful Mobile Intel PM45 Express Chipset ICH9M. There are two memory sockets; one socket ships with a 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM stick and the second socket can be used to upgrade the memory status up to 8GB. The graphics card in an HP EliteBook 8530W Mobile Workstation is a NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M. Here follows the detailed product specification of HP EliteBook 8530W Mobile Workstation:
