Wistron has landed consumer notebook orders from Toshiba, according to industry sources. This is the first time Toshiba has used the Taiwan-based manufacturer. In the past, Toshiba mostly outsourced its notebook orders to Inventec, Quanta Computer and Compal Electronics. It also started outsourcing a small volume of orders to Pegatron Computer in 2009.

In additional news, Quanta has landed orders for Dell's Studio series notebooks for 2010, while Wistron has received Dell's Vostro series models. Latitude series enterprise notebook orders are shared by Quanta, Compal and Wistron. Wistron will be Lenovo's main manufacturer in 2009 with order volumes surpassing those of both Quanta and Compal, while Acer still has not yet settled its outsourcing plans

Exclusive hands-on with Runcore Pro IV 1.8″ SSD @ TweakTown and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

“We are here in Hangzhou, China in the technology and development area (or HEDA as its known officially) at the moment visiting the Runcore office to get a hands-on look at its range of Pro IV SSD drives that will launch later today and go on sale very soon.

We spent some time exclusively testing the new Runcore Pro IV, specifically the 1.8-inch Micro SATA 128GB. We compared the performance of this new SSD against a standard notebook HDD in two identical Lenovo X301 laptops. We confirmed that no funny business was going on and that both systems were identical in terms of setup, clock speeds and so on.”

In an attempt to arrest MySpace’s ever-faster decline into irrelevance, News Corp. is transforming the social network into an online gaming destination.The company, owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, had to do something, after all, once MySpace lost major ground to Facebook in June, posting smaller U.S. numbers than the latter — Comscore reported MySpace had 68 million compared with Facebook’s 74 million uniques (just from the U.S. Internet audience, the gap is even wider when looking at worldwide figures).News

Software pioneer Bill Gates always wanted a PC on every desk in the world, but we aren’t quite sure he envisioned it happening like this. In much the same way as the cellphone industry took off in the 1990s with the advent of the “free-on-contract” phone, a Linux bigwig is suggesting that PCs are the next to follow in those footsteps. Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin, in a recent presentation at the O’Reilly OSCON (Open Source Convention), told onlookers that a trend would emerge in which consumers

Look out, archive junkies! Western Digital is now coming for you down there in the mobile realm, a place where you once thought the “never enough space” bug couldn’t bite. Today, the company who beat everyone to the 2TB mark in the desktop hard drive space has developed and shipped the industry’s first 2.5″ 1TB HDD. The drive, which is joined by the slightly less roomy 750GB sibling, is based on 333GB-per-platter technology, which is a blessing and a curse in a variety of ways. The WD Scorpio Blue SATA 2.5″

Is there such a thing as being too popular? Having too many friends? If you’re Bill Gates, we guess the answer is “yes.” The famed Microsoft co-founder has recently admitted to giving up Facebook after “too many” people wanted to befriend him. Of course, we find it kind of silly that Mr. Gates expected anything other than an onslaught of friend requests, but we digress. The face of Microsoft recently told an audience in India that he gave Facebook a shot but ended up throwing his hands in the air after “10,000

Usually when a person says they bought a budget mid-tower steel computer case for their gaming PC for around $50 you know that they most likely bought something ugly with bad build quality. Today, NZXT destroys that myth with the $49.99 NZXT Beta gaming chassis. You'll be amazed at what you get for this price point, so read on.

Garmin-Asus, the partnership that many doubted would ever bear fruit, is finally gearing up to ship their first product. When it was originally announced back in 2008, the nüvifone was viewed as a serious iPhone competitor and a real top-notch product for the smartphone industry at large. Unfortunately for Garmin-Asus, a lot has changed over the past year, with Google’s Android hitting the market, Samsung stepping up its Windows Mobile game and even LG making a serious play for market share. The other thing
