16.1-inch: The largest notebook display available now

African Gateway Connection, the African distributor of Eurocom technology, announced today the launch the latest Eurocom B52 Dream Machine model which features a 16.1-inch screen. This is the largest screen-size notebook available in SA.

The combination of the B52 Dream Machine`s 16.1-inch UXGA Active Matrix with 1600 x 1200 resolution and the ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 graphics engine with up to 128MB DDR Video Memory, gives the new model the most advanced and visually-stunning 3D performance for a notebook in the industry.

Furthermore, the new model now also supports Intel Pentium 4 processors with Hyper-Threading Technology.

Hyper-Threading improves processor performance and responsiveness by simulating a multi-processor on a single chip, giving the user the power to do more tasks on their notebook at once.
