Dell Introduces XPS 15

2012-06-29T12:50:00.001+05:30

Though Dell has revealed its XPS 14 Ultrabook
We are soon going to see XPS 15 in Indian markets

It will be much thinner and faster as compared to the old XPS series laptops
The new XPS Series will follow Intel Third Generation Processors.

For starters, every variant of the XPS 15 lineup will have a 1080p display running off the NVIDIA GeForce GT630M chip (1GB on the base model, GT 640M - 2GB on the top end).

The RAM on the XPS 15 can be stepped up from 6GB to 8GB and if you’re planning on maxing things out, then there’s even a 16GB option for you. Sadly, there is no option to swap out the 500 or 750GB hard drives for SSDs. There are four flavors of the XPS 15 to choose from (non-configurable, but each offering something better than the previous one).

These are the models which Dell has introduced
The base model will be costing aroud $1299 which will go up to $1999

WD completes Hitachi deal and is now world's largest HDD manufacturer

2012-03-10T14:50:00.000+05:30

Western Digital (WD) have confirmed that they have completed all the procedures, and have finally acquired Hitachi. This acquisition has put WD at the top spot as the largest manufacturer of HDDs in the world, reports Verge. Although Hitachi wasn’t the first choice, as WD intended buying Seagate. The WD-Seagate deal maybe didn’t work out for good. The new merger is complete and inked in a deal worth $3.9 billion in cash and $25 million worth of shares, which were reportedly valued at 0.9 billion, early this week. The deal is also said to be funded by a $2.5 billion five year loan.

Reportedly, this move by Hitachi has brought it 10 percent stake in WD and the ability to appoint two members to the board of directors. Moreover, Hitachi has been struggling with the business for sometime now. For WD, it has enabled it to surpass Seagate, its competitor and take the first place in HDD manufacturing in the world. After this merger, WD stocks have risen by 16 per cent to surpass Seagate. Besides, the company has also been fighting out other players who’ve entered the digital market.

The hard drive market hasn’t been at its best lately, with rising prices, due to the recent Thailand floods, which almost wiped out several factories. But manufacturers have been trying to put their best foot forward, despite all odds. We saw Hitachi released what it called the world’s slimmest hard drive, last month, which is a 2.5-inch notebook hard drive dubbed Travelstar Z7K500. However, there is no word on it making to the Indian store shelves. We also saw Hitachi Global Storage Technologies declare the Ultrastar enterprise-class solid state drive the industry’s first to use 25-nanometer (nm) single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash.

This new WD and Hitachi merger may just work for best interests of both companies.
