Dell Intros Latitude ON FLASH Feature
Dell today introduced a new feature for its Latitude business notebooks. ON | FLASH is an instant-boot feature with a graphical interface, allowing users access to email, Internet with Flash support, Skype, and a few other features. It runs off of a small flash memory module in certain Dell Latitude notebooks; the benefit of running off flash memory is that ON | FLASH is cheaper than the original Latitude ON introduced earlier this year.

Intel’s PineTrail platform release is around the corner and more netbooks are hitting the FCC with the new chipset. The Fujitsu LifeBook M380 based on PineTrail is spotted with modest specification details.
The netbook will include Intel’s Atom N450 1.66GHz processor with on-die graphics engine and memory controller. This setup will reduce the current 3-chip design to 2-chip design that will decrease system complexity and result in lower power draw. However, performance improvements might not be a part of this upgrade. The 10.1-inch LCD will have 1,366 x 768 resolution. Connectivity includes Atheros Wi-Fi b/g/n and Realtek Ethernet.
