	AMD lanceerde deze week haar nieuwe AM3 platform en uiteraard hebben wij de eerste processors en moederborden die van deze nieuwe voet gebruik maken al onder de loep genomen. Daarnaast aandacht voor HP's HDX16 notebook, een compacte consumentennotebook met een 16 inch Full HD scherm. En als laatste item deze week een sfeerverslag van de ISE - Integrated Systems Europe - beurs die vorige week in de RAI werd georganiseerd. Een beurs voor professionele AV producten, waar desondanks ook voor consumenten veel leuks te zien was. View
	Mediaspelers met opnamefunctie / AM3 moederborden / Acer H340 home server	05/21/2009
	Mediaspelers zijn er in vele soorten en maten, en sinds kort ook met ingebouwde tuner en de mogelijkheid om video op te nemen. Wij bekijken drie apparaten die over dergelijke functionaliteit beschikken. Daarnaast aandacht voor nieuwe Socket AM3 moederborden van ASUS, MSI en Gigabyte. Welke unieke features hebben de verschillende fabrikanten op hun borden toegepast en welk bord is onze favoriet? Deze week introduceerden we op Hardware.Info de vernieuwde wensenlijst, functionaliteit die het mogelijk maakt om gemakkelijk te zien waar de componenten die jij wilt kopen het goedkoopst verkrijgbaar zijn. We leggen je precies uit hoe het werkt en wat je ermee kan. Als laatste bekijken we deze week de H340 Home Server van Acer. Een klein kastje, ruimte voor vier schijven en gebaseerd op Intel Atom. Is dit dé ideale homeserver? View
