14 DAY TRIAL // Want to see a selection of Windows Vista certified PCs? I thought so. And the video fragment embedded herein will permit you to do just that. The video was presented at the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas during the kick-off keynote speech delivered by Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.
The video is a clear illustration of the Windows Vista "Wow" marketing campaign, and all the hot systems featured in the video will be available concomitantly with the customer availability of the operating system on January 30, 2007. As Vista is a resource hungry operating system, the PCs featured in the video deliver top end system configurations designed to support the full Windows Vista experience.
Among the Windows Vista certified computers in the video you will be able to see the world's smallest PC capable to run Vista. The OQO model 2 comes with a price tag starting at $1,499 and weights only one pound. The OQO model 2 features a 1.5GHz VIA C7M ULV processor, a VIA VX700 with integrated GPU graphics chipset, a 60 GB hard drive, 1GB of memory. You can read additional information related to the OQO model 2 here.
The video will also offer a glimpse of the Acer Ferrari PC that has generated a consistent amount of controversy due to the fact that Microsoft and AMD have handed out a limited number of free laptops to top influential members of the blogging community. The Acer Ferrari has an AMD Turion 64 X2 (dual-core 64-bit) running at 2GHz, with 512KB L2 cache per core; 2GB RAM 667MHz DDR 2 memory configured in dual-channel mode; ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor with 256MB; 15.4" WSXGA or WXGA, 16 ms, widescreen; 160GB SATA HDD; HD-DVD R/W and Bluetooth 2.0.
