The Acer Aspire 1810T wasn’t released in the U.S, and the Acer 1810TZ was a rumored dual core model. Now both models have been officially announced and will be available soon.

It’s not just the TZ model which has a dual core CPU, both do. Both models have an 11.6-inch LED back lit LCD with a 1366 x 768 resolution, Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHz dual core CULV CPU, upto 4GB of DDR2 RAM, Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, 3x USB, HDMI output, card reader, and a multi-touch pad.

NVIDIA has already announced the introduction of its next-generation Fermi architecture, the company has yet to unveil its first consumer products to take advantage of the benefits and features enabled by said architecture. However, this only leaves room for speculations and rumors, as it is with any highly anticipated product. On that note, it appears that the company has recently leaked a couple of its upcoming products from the GeForce mobile segment.

Our colleagues over at Fudzilla have received a rather interesting tip on NVIDIA’s future GeForce 3xxM series of notebook graphics solutions. According to a recent post on the aforementioned site, the graphics chip maker has included the names of its new GeForce mobile lineup in the selection tool on its GeForce graphics drivers download page. The list of new GeForce notebook processors includes the high-end GTS 360M, the GT335M and GT 330M for the mainstream segment, followed by the low-end GeForce 310M and 305M models.

Unfortunately, the leak has already been taken down from the website so we will have to take Fudzilla’s word on this one. Also, it appears that the leak didn’t include the drivers for these five cards, which means we are stuck with only the brand names of these future notebook GPUs. There are speculations that the cards will be based on the new Fermi architecture, but that’s something we will need to confirm when NVIDIA gets official with them.

There’s a very good chance that the company will initially update its notebook GPU portfolio before providing computer enthusiasts with a choice for a new desktop, Fermi-based GeForce GT300-based graphics card. According to previous rumors, the much-anticipated launch of the new GPU architecture might occur before the end of this year.

Windows 7 users may find there are no drivers yet for their Hewlett-Packard printer, although the company said it expects to release some new compatible drivers soon.

HP is recommending that some of its newer products should be used with Windows 7, which was released on Oct. 22. Unfortunately, for some people that will mean buying a new printer.

“Older products may have limited driver support, limited features or both,” according to a page on HP’s Web site that provides a list of products that either do have drivers available or will soon. “If your legacy product is not listed, no support is offered for Windows 7.”

Users have been griping on HP forums about the driver situation for months. In some cases, HP is not developing drivers for products that did have drivers for Windows Vista, Windows 7’s predecessor.

“According to HP’s compatibility lists, there will be no support for HP Laserjet Color 3600n under Windows 7,” wrote user FastasFlash200 in September. “Is this really true and if so, for heaven’s sake why? We bought this device not so long ago for our small business office and waited desperately for upgrading computers and devices to Windows 7, but it seems HP won’t support this.”

Another user wrote that his LaserJet 3600 has a manufacture date of June 2008. “I’m going to make a big stink to everyone,” wrote MorePissedOff in all capital letters early last month.

The delay with the drivers HP is building “really has to do with making sure that all the drivers work smoothly for the customers who make the Windows 7 change,” according to an e-mail response from a spokeswoman on behalf of the company. “HP worked with Microsoft to make sure that the majority of current/recently launched products supported Windows 7 at launch and continues to work with them to ensure the smooth transition moving forward. ”

HP isn’t saying which of the absent drivers may be released first. The best advice is for consumers is to click through to the actual product page and see if one is available. At least some of the drivers should be available within a couple of weeks if not sooner, the spokeswoman said.
