IF YOU CAN PICK your jaw off the floor after the MacBook announcement, you’ll be interested in finding out what’s really going on inside the After-Eight-thin laptop. Anand is into his second instalment into the great “MacBook Air CPU mystery”, and you can read them both here and here. Apparently earlier guesswork about the CPU pointed towards a customised Merom, but now things have changed a bit and the “customised” goes to “improvised” – Anand is thinking rush job, here. It still looks stunning tho’, and we don’t think the Cult of Jobs will care anything about what CPU it’s running...

Picking the Macbook scab, Devindra.org (not your usual hardware review site), has posted one of those “reason vs. fanboyism” articles about the MacBook, and how you save a lot of money if you invest in an EEEPC – it’s a call to reason, ie: if you want a fashion statement, buy the Air. Plenty of geeky juicy details about the notebooks right here.

The ASUS P5K3 Deluxe WiFi-AP motherboard gets another benchpress, this time at Benchmark Reviews. They dissected the poor little thing and found nothing other than good performance and a pinch of motherboard design issues that only frustrate the user (ie: reviewer). It’ll run you around $219.99 USD, but they awarded it the Gold Tachometer.

Camera Lab have an interesting review of the Canon “Wireless File Transmitter”, the WFT-E3A, add-on for their digital SLR cameras. In the form of a portrait grip, this add-on confers digital SLR cameras Wi-Fi, GPS and mass storage connectivity. You can actually remote control cameras via the web thanks to the Wi-Fi and even FTP your shots to sites. Sounds geeky, doesn’t it? Read all about it, here.

Computer appliances have been in Limbo (no, not dancing, just hovering around in the Ether). Epiacenter specialises in such appliance computing and posted a preview of the VIA NAB 7500 – Network Appliance Board. It sports a C7 1.5GHz CPU and 4 (count ‘em!) Gigabit ports on the PCIe bus with an additional Gigabit Ethernet port on the PCI bus. Right now VIA are pre-sampling, but there’s a lot you can do in terms of networking appliances.

Maybe the closest you’ll get to a ultramegawide screen gaming experience is through Matrox’s TripleHead2Go Digital, found here at ExtremeTech Reviews. Following Matrox’s recent refresh of the xxxHead2Go product line, they’ve now included DVI connections. It’ll set you back a massive $329 (USD) to get more head. There are limitations to the system (DVI bandwidth-limited) so you can go either 3840x1024 or 3840x2400 maximum resolution. Maybe you’re a day trader, maybe you work at the closest CSI lab... or maybe not. µ
