Acer ramps up production of second-gen Chromebook

Sep. 30, 2012 (10:58 am) By: Lee Mathews

Recognize the humble laptop up there? No? That’s not a surprise, since most of the world paid very little attention to the Acer AC700 Chromebook. Only Acer and Samsung have bothered to buildChrome OS hardware so far, and the consumer public hasn’t been too interested in paying more for low-power hardware running Google’s cloud-first OS than comparably-or-better-equipped Windows machines.

Hands-on with B&N’s Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablets

Yesterday, just hours after announcing their Nook video service, Barnes and Noble has announced two new tablets. The 7-inch Nook HD and the 9-inch Nook HD+ will be the company’s next generation of color tablets, and despite coming out shortly after the Kindle Fire HD (as in too close for the new Kindles to have made a design impact) the bookseller has managed to come out with two compelling offerings.

Size matters: Gadgets where tech went huge

Just recently Toshiba announced a new Android tablet, the 13-inch Excite 13. It’s 13.3-inches on the diagonal, has a full SD slot, and weighs 2.2 pounds. While the Excite 13 is certainly not small compared to the competition (OK, it’s quite large), the device is actually just a start when it comes to the more-is-better school of product design. And it got us thinking…

Large laptop: HP HDX Dragon

HP’s HDX Dragon was a 20.1-inch laptop that weighed in at 15.5 pounds and sold for $4500. It was so big that the 1920×1080 display didn’t have a normal hinge, rather it lifted up on a monitor arm not unlike the one on a standard LCD display. The clever mechanism made is so that the screen was independently tiltable, allowing for one of the most adjustable laptop displays ever. The system, which was released in the Windows Vista era, packed two hard drives, a full number pad, a TV tuner, and a sound system that featured four speakers and a subwoofer, all of which are benefits of its size. That battery life was reportedly under 2 hours, not that this computer would be able to fit in any laptop bag you owned.

How to start watching at 4K right now

by Mark Raby

LG just launched the biggest “ultra definition” television in the Korean market, and the 84-inch mammoth is doing its part in not only gaping the jaws of Internet onlookers but also reviving the discussion that there is still a long way to go after 1080p. The “ultra definition” moniker is what LG and other manufacturers use to refer to their displays as they approach and eclipse 4K, a resolution that is more than four times as large as 1080p and is what you experience when you go to a digitally equipped movie theater.

September 30, 2012 11:28

Nokia’s upcoming Lumia 920 has been generating plenty of buzz recently for both its imaging prowess and eye-catching, candy-colored shells. And while it’s been assumed that both the Lumia 920 and the more modest Lumia 820 would be very competitively priced when they arrived next month, nothing official had been announced yet. Now, however, pricing [...]

Gmail, Google Docs and more dropping support for IE8 this year

September 30, 2012 8:27 am by Sam Cook

After all these years, Windows XP is finally starting to fade away. The popular OS held strong against its first successor, the lackluster Windows Vista, and even proved remarkably resilient against the well-received Windows 7. But with 7 taking the lead on OS market share, and Windows 8 releasing in a little over a month, [...]

But in the fast-paced world of Android smartphones, not every new release is a radical reinvention of [...]

new Dell Vostro 270s slim tower

September 29, 2012

Stepping up to a new desktop PC, even if it is for terribly boring uses like email and Internet, doesn’t mean you have to pick up one of those ginormous towers that eat up your office space. You also aren’t stuck choosing a super-tiny HTPC-style desktop that has little ports or expandability.

Samsung Galaxy Note II coming to all US carriers in mid-November

If you sometimes look at your phone and just wish it was monstrously gigantic, Samsung has just the thing for you. After an international debut, the Galaxy Note II is finally official for the top five US carriers. The Note Android phones have proven hugely popular with a wide range of users, so maybeSteve Jobs was wrong about no one wanting a stylus.

The Galaxy Note II has a slightly larger screen than last year’s model, a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED HD panel at 1280 x 720.

What do we know about the next Nexus?

It’s been nearly one full year since the Samsung Galaxy Nexus was announced. The latest in the line of Google Experience phones came to us with Android 4.0, and started the tablet/phone convergence path that Google finalized with the Nexus 7 and Android 4.1. Here we sit, however, nearly one full year from that day. It seems only natural that rumors would start to surface about the next device to have the Nexus title, and bring the latest wave of Android hardware to the front lines.
