HP’s message to Dell is clear: “It’s on like Donkey Kong.” That’s what happens when, just a week after you agree to acquire a company for $1.13 billion, your rival steps in with an offer of $1.5 billion for the same company.
In this case, HP is the agg… [...]

Is it getting hot in here, or is it just your Dell laptop? Many are complaining it’s the latter, with what looks to be hundreds of owners of E6400 and E6500 series Dell notebooks complaining of performance issues, including throttling down by as much as 95 percent under normal operating conditions, Engadget reports. The problem appears to be due to an oversensitive BIOS prone to dialing down clockspeeds and bringing notebooks to a near screeching halt at the first sign of heat. It’s something that’s been brought to Dell’s attention long ago, but according to Engadget, the OEM has been censoring some posts on its forums rather than fixing the issue.

Proving that a mini tower can pack a punch, Dell this week released a new Vostro desktop for small businesses that makes use of Intel’s latest processors. Released yesterday, Dell’s Vostro 430 desktop comes standard with an Intel Core i5 750 processor (2.66GHz, 8MB L3 cache), 1GB of DDR3-1333 memory, an 80GB hard drive spinning at 7200RPM, an ATI Radeon HD 4350 videocard with 512MB of onboard memory, and Windows Vista Home Basic. From there, virtual system builders can opt to add more muscle in the form of an Intel Core i7 870 processor (2.93Ghz, 8MB L3 cache), up to 4GB of RAM, up to 1TB of storage, and an Nvidia GeForce GTS240 videocard with 1GB of memory. At $700 and up, the new Vostro is a little more than what small business owners are accustomed to paying for Dell’s Vostro line, which typically run between $300 and $400, but the 430 is the only one to be built around Intel’s latest architecture.
