I’m out of the office today but here’s today’s daily Tech fix.
There’s a new Samsung Chromebook in town, and this little laptop is about to slash the price of computing on the go by a long way. Unlike previous models running Google’s cloud based operating system, this one costs just £229.
Microsoft have officially confirmed the release date for their shiny, new touchscreen OS. The company will release Windows 8 on the 26th October, the next operating system from Microsoft.
Dell is giving its Alienware laptop range a welcome refresh, updating the Alienware M14x, M17x and M18x gaming laptops with new NVIDIA and AMD graphics and a pleasing performance and memory boost. It also appears that the M11x is sitting this one out.
HP has finally revealed the first of its Ivy Bridge laptops: the Pavilion DV4-5000, DV6-7000 and DV7-7000. All three are now listed on HP’s website, and all three will include the latest Intel i7 Ivy Bridge processor delivering higher performance and more power. More details on the impressive mid-range laptops this way.
Glasses-free tech seems to be catching on. The latest victim of this tech craze is the Toshiba Satellite P585, which eliminates the need to wear dodgy 3D specs to see images come at you. If you don’t care about 3D, there’s a lot more to the Toshiba Satellite P885. It boasts HD skills, Harman Kardon speakers and more.
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime tablet that thinks it’s a laptop may have only recently gone on sale, yet already a successor has been announced. That said, we will have to wait until the summer before we can get our hands on it.
LG has launched the latest in its slim and shiny notebook line. The LG X Note Z330 is one little nipper. Along with being smaller than the average LBD this festive season, LG is claiming that it can cold boot up in under 10 seconds, making it a serious rival to the MacBook Air.
The Dell 14z joins the brand new line up of Dell notebooks and brings with it the wow factor. Dell promise that the XPS 14z series will strike a balance between mass and usability.
Toshiba adds a glasses free 3D laptop to its new line up.
3D is getting bigger and bigger each day and today I bring you news of Toshiba’s brand new attractive 3D laptop range. They’re all pretty good but the one that stands out from the rest is the Toshiba Qosmio F750 for the one reason of it being specs free.
Its all done through a built in lenticular screen with assistance from the handy webcam monitoring your eye movements.
Along with all of that, its claimed by the firm itself that the laptop can display 2D and 3D images at the same time through the 15.6 inch screen. Adding to that, you will get a resolution of 1366×768 pixels.
Other features loaded in the Qosmio F750 are Harmon Kardon speakers, Blu-ray player, Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 3.0. The laptop will also provide you with ample performance through the Intel Core i7 and nVdia processor GT 540M graphics card. Finally, Toshiba offers 6GB of storage space.
Its out this August and will cost you around £1300.
What’s my view?
It sounds super, I like the sound of built in Harmon Kardon speakers and the addition of Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 3.0. The Harmon Kardon speakers I’m sure will offer you quality sound! You will furthermore receive stunning performance from Intel’s i7 or nVdia GT 540M processor enabling you to play your heavy weight games with ease.
Dell have released new loaded XPS 15z laptop series which looks very like Apple’s MacBook Pro.
Take a look at the photos below from Dell’s official website.
So impressive or what? The brand new 15.6-inch laptop from Dell is out on the UK website and its appearance is much like Apple’s MacBook Pro, hmmm interesting.
However, it is cheaper but not a bargain, the laptop is priced at £899 which is practically £900 so its still quite a lot of money to pay however judging by the specs it should be worth it.
The Apple lookalike will feature new off the market, Sandy Bridge Intel processor, a core i5 chip running at 2.3GHz, a spacious 500GB hard drive and a nVdia GeForce GT525M graphics card.
Will you be buying it? Let me know.
