New Lenovo ThinkPad Notebooks and Tablet PCs Redefine Ultraportable Computing

Sydney, Australia – October 10, 2008: Lenovo today announced three new ThinkPad notebooks that significantly address the key factors mobile computer users consider today – light weight, long battery life and simple usability. With models starting at less than 1.1 kg1 and offering maximum battery life lasting up to more than 13 hours2, the ThinkPad X200s notebook leads Lenovo’s business-class notebook portfolio for lightest weight and longest battery life. Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X200 Tablet PC also leads the industry for its light weight design, with models shedding almost 10 percent over the previous generation Tablet PC’s weight. Additionally, the Tablet PC also offers models with nearly 50 percent longer battery life. The ThinkPad X200 notebook also boasts a lighter weight and longer battery life than its predecessor.

All three of the PCs offer improved usability over previous Lenovo ThinkPad notebooks, notably with the ThinkPad X200 Tablet PC’s enhanced multimedia capabilities, dual swivel screen and a full-size keyboard. And to help protect against bumps and bruises, Lenovo brought its innovative ThinkPad top cover roll cage pioneered in the ThinkPad X300 notebook to select models of the ThinkPad X200s notebook, balancing light weight with extreme durability. 

“We continually strive to balance the features customers care most about – light weight, long battery life and simple usability – when engineering our ThinkPad notebooks,” said Otto Ruettinger, Business Manager, Desktops and Notebooks, Lenovo ANZ. “From the new ThinkPad X200 Tablet PC to the ThinkPad X200s notebook, our most recent X Series ThinkPad notebooks push the design envelope, delivering tailored solutions to unique user needs while balancing usability, weight and battery life like never before.” 

ThinkPad X200 Notebook

Designed for executives on the move, the light-weight X200 starts at 1.34 kg and comes with an optional solid state hard drive model for ultraportability. With dimensions 295mm wide by 210mm deep, the X200 fits into tight spaces such as crowded tables and airline trays. The compact dimensions have not compromised the display size, however, with a 12.1” wide screen and a larger ergonomic keyboard offering more comfort and productivity. The X200 also provides cooler, quieter computing with its focused airflow design and new fan.

ThinkPad X200s Notebook

Powered by the latest small form factor Intel® Centrino® 2 with vPro technology, the ThinkPad X200s notebook combines thin and light design with powerful functionality. Select models are reinforced with Lenovo’s signature carbon and glass fibre top cover roll cage to provide ultra-light design with extra strength to exceed the rigors of mobile computing environments, helping make it Lenovo’s lightest ThinkPad notebook to date. Select models are also equipped with up to 128 GB solid state drive storage, LED backlit displays, and Ultra-Wideband functionality as well as Bluetooth connectivity for an exceptional computing experience. With a new optional nine cell battery, the notebook offers users extended-day computing. Compatible with Lenovo’s new optional ThinkPad X200 Ultrabase,™ users can even charge a second battery and swap it out later for uninterrupted mobile computing. They can also opt to choose a Blu-Ray DVD player and additional hard drive on the Ultrabase™ for added functionality.

ThinkPad X200 Tablet

With models weighing only 1.59 kg3, the ThinkPad X200 Tablet PC gives users the best of notebook performance with the convenience of notetaking, similar to pen and paper functionality, in a digital form. Ideal for environments such as healthcare, real estate, education and sales, Lenovo’s first widescreen Tablet PC also offers models providing up to more than 10 hours of battery life4 for a full day of computing. Equipped with the latest low-voltage version of the small form factor Intel® Centrino® 2 with vPro technology, select models also offer up to 128 GB solid state drive storage, LED backlit displays, as well as mobile broadband.

Lenovo worked with its customer and business partners to improve the Tablet PC’s usability and multimedia capabilities by integrating several new technologies, including:

·         Full-size keyboard: allows an easier typing and computing experience

·         Dual swivel screen: enables users to turn the screen either direction to shift between notebook and Tablet PC mode more naturally

·         Improved multimedia: dual-array digital microphones reduce ambient noise with noise-cancelling software for conducting clearer voice over Internet protocol calls. A built-in camera provides improved quality pictures for web conferencing, and stereo speakers help increase audio volume for hearing multimedia presentations in noisy environments

·         Touch sensitivity: recognises a lighter pen or finger touch 

All three models are qualified as Gold by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool for their environmental attributes, including energy-efficient technologies such as low and ultra-low volt processors, LED backlit displays and solid state drive storage. Additionally, they are 20 percent more energy efficient than previous Lenovo ThinkPad notebooks.

Pricing and Availability5

Pricing for optimised models of the ThinkPad X200 notebook starts at $2,999.00, the ThinkPad X200s notebook starts at $3,299.00 and the ThinkPad X200 Tablet at $3,499.00.

ATARI SETS PLAYSTATION®3 ABLAZE THIS NOVEMBER WITH ‘ALONE IN THE DARK: INFERNO’

– 13 October 2009 – One of this year’s most innovative video games will get a blazing rework for its PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system debut this November as Atari ignites Alone in the Dark: Inferno.  Development studio Eden Games has responded to the feedback of media and gamers and has turned up the heat to deliver an even more entertaining, immersive and action-packed blockbuster experience for PLAYSTATION 3 system.  The host of sizzling gameplay enhancements, red-hot new content and the hellish storyline have inspired the name Alone in the Dark: Inferno for the ultimate Alone in the Dark experience on PLAYSTATION 3. 

 

Alone in the Dark: Inferno stays true to the storyline of the previous versions in which gamers take on the role of paranormal investigator Edward Carnby who over the course of one apocalyptic night must fight to survive and uncover the earth-shattering secret behind New York’s Central Park.  However, the new edition will fully complement the intense storytelling and unprecedented environmental interaction with an array of improved gameplay elements that will give gamers the ultimate Alone in the Dark experience.

 

Gameplay elements including camera, inventory system, and hero control have all been reworked for maximum immersion and fun.  In addition, Alone in the Dark: Inferno will include an all-new action sequence revealing a previously unseen enemy of epic proportions. 

 

The game promises to raise the temperature with improvements including:

 

  • Full 360° camera control: enhanced camera controls allows complete freedom of the camera and better handling of third person movement for even more immersive gameplay enabling players to view the fire and mass destruction they are causing in all of its glory.
  • Fine-tuned controls:  quicker and smoother reactivity of the hero’s movements in third person view increases the pace of the game and makes for faster, reflexive gameplay during tense fighting scenarios;
  • Inventory system more accessible: more logical jacket inventory system with the ability to scroll rapidly through the inventory with the D-pad or analog stick to combine objects.  In addition, gameplay is paused when accessing the inventory system to allow maximum creativity in combining items to create unique weapons;  
  • More tips: additional on-screen tips will help players quickly adapt to controls and easily understand how to overcome tricky situations;
  • Spectral Vision tuning: a tutorial earlier in the storyline explains the need to burn roots in order to gain spectral vision (a power that grants you the ability to see the unseen) and difficulty tuning means less spectral vision is required to reach the end of the game;
  • Improved car dynamics and handling: driving has been tuned with increased suspension and reduced drift giving overall better handling to make driving a fun walk in the park every time;
  • 59th Street level tuning: one of the game’s most exciting sequences just got better.  59th Street has been tweaked for a more satisfying race against the fissure with difficulty tuning, an added checkpoint at Columbus Circle and clear voice directions given by Sarah;
  • Brand new thrilling action sequence: an exclusive new sequence has been added in Episode 6 for even more excitement and variety of gameplay in the episode.

 

A demo is planned for early November that will be available through the PLAYSTATION® Network to give fans an early preview of the intense action and deeply immersive story line.  For more information on Alone in the Dark: Inferno, please visit: www.CentralDark.com.

Sound Alliance Group expands with acquisition of Mess+Noise music website

Sydney 13 October 2008 – Sound Alliance, Australia’s leading independent online entertainment publisher today confirmed its acquisition of Melbourne- based music website Mess+Noise.

Ackland continued “Mess+Noise, like Sound Alliance was established with the support and development of music at its core.  We share similar principles and ideals with a focus on quality content and community. 

Sound Alliance will immediately introduce a full time editor which will see the volume and relevance of the site’s content increase dramatically.  “We don’t foresee any material changes in the first six months apart from creating more content and adding an online ticketing store powered by our Qjump division.   

Overseeing the ongoing development of the website will be Mess+Noise co-founder, Danny Bos. He will head up the business based from Melbourne as General Manager.

“This is an exciting development for Mess+Noise. Sound Alliance is on the same wavelength and we share common ideas of where the site needs to head.” outlined Bos.

Mess+Noise was acquired by Sound Alliance from Destra Corporation.

XBOX 360 IS THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN

Forget Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup, Andrew Hickman from Wagga Wagga became the king of the mountain this weekend, driving himself to the first big win of the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 weekend by taking out the Xbox 360 Bathurst Challenge. 

Based on the V8 Supercar shoot-out format, 12 lucky participants raced uniquely designed Xbox 360 go-karts around a purpose built track spanning Murray’s Corner and Pit Lane. Earning their place in the race via retail and online competitions in the previous six weeks leading up the event, the competitors travelled to Bathurst, with hopes of sharing in the $100,000 in cash and prizes.  

Andrew, driving the EB Games go-kart, crossed the finish line first in a time of 22.09 seconds, just two hundredths of a second ahead of his nearest rival, Daniel Mitchell. James Davey, who earned his place in the race by winning the Xbox LIVE Forza Motorsport 2 Challenge, came third in a time of 22.74 seconds. 

“That was the most exhilarating experience of my life,” said Andrew after his win. “These karts really do fly and being inches from the ground with such little margin for error made the experience so memorable. I’ve always been a keen gamer so when this opportunity through Xbox presented itself I jumped at it.”  

The top three competitors will share in AUD$100,00 worth of prizes ranging from AUD$30,000 cash to an Xbox go-kart, a hot lap around Mount Panorama with a professional driver and Samsung home entertainment packages. 

“The prize money will be a big help for me, setting me up financially,” continue Andrew. “I just tried to listen to what the professionals were telling me during the practice sessions on Thursday and stay mentally focused during the race.”  

The winning times for the tournament were:

1st          Andrew Hickman (EB Games)                     22.0951 seconds

2nd        Daniel Mitchell (Ford)                                    22.2963 seconds
