Le Pan II Android Tablet TC979 Review @ TechwareLabs
|
 When it comes to Android tablets it seems that just about everyone offers one. Features tend to blur together and you get lost in the confusion. So which one is a good model, and what do you buy? Stick to name brands only or venture out into the lesser known brands? On first impressions the Le Pan II gets high marks. Le Pan who you say? Pay attention to this brand as if they continue the trend this will be a company to watch."

Lenovo ThinkPad T420 Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
?The Lenovo ThinkPad T420 is a typical-looking 14-inch business laptop that has a few things going for it. First, it has really good performance due to its Intel Core i5 CPU and 4GB of RAM. It also has a decent amount of connectivity, including eSATA, and extra long battery life.?"

Asus Zenbook UX21E-DH52 Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
?The Asus Zenbook UX21E-DH52 has an 11.6-inch screen, an Intel Core i5 processor, and the same 4GB of RAM and 128GB solid-state drive as its bigger sibling. In terms of high performance in a trivially light package, it`s a netbook`s worst nightmare. But though it`s no nightmare to users, it has a couple of shortcomings that keep it from being a purely sweet dream, either.?"

Asus Zenbook UX21E Hands-On Video Demo:
|
|
The Asus Zenbook UX21E is a new ultra-slim notebook by Asus, that is representative of the new "Ultrabook" class of machines, to use a term coined by Intel. The Zenbook UX21E is an incredible 3mm thick at the front and 9mm at the rear and has spun metal and hairline aluminum for a strikingly sleek appearance. It's also built with Intel's new low-power Sandy Bridge Core i7 2677M mobile dual-core processor, 4GB of DDR3-1333 memory, a 128GB SATA 3 SSD and an 11.6-inch LCD with a native resolution of 1366X768.
We go hands-on in this video review but stay tuned in the days ahead for the full review.

Asus Eee Pad Slider Hands-On Video Demo
|
|
The Asus Eee Pad Slider is a break-out device, much in the way the Asus Eee Pad Transformer broke the mold not so long ago when it was announced. Though it's built on the same base NVIDIA Tegra 2 platform that many 10.1 Android Honeycomb slates are these days, the Slider offers a netbook-like slide-out keyboard solution that takes the standard tablet experience to a whole new level. For not a lot more size and weight (or cost for that matter), you also get a full-sized USB port and HDMI output with Slider.
We stepped through the device in detail in our full review recently, but today we thought we'd update our coverage with a quick video demo of the Slider in action. Enjoy and be sure to check out the full review, if you haven't seen it already...

Alienware M18x Gaming Notebook: A Tale of Two GPUs
|
|
Big, bad and unapologetic. These three words accurately describe the Alienware M18x. Unapologetic about its size, this is a desktop replacement notebook that almost defies the entire category of portable machines. Sure, it's portable, in the sense that you can move it from room to room or perhaps pack it up for a LAN, but you're not tossing this bad boy into a dainty backpack or laptop tote. No, the Alienware M18x steps into the ring weighing in at nearly 12lbs (11.935) and thumbs its nose at would-be competitors.
In our efforts to evaluate Alienware's new gaming Goliath, the company decided to send us two machines with identical base builds, an Intel Core i7-2630QM quad-core at the helm, but with different graphics subsystems. One M18x came strapped with a pair of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M GPUs in SLI. The other came packing heat with dual AMD Radeon HD 6990M GPUs in CrossFire...

Razer Blade 17.3-inch LED Gaming Laptop Initial Impressions Preview
|
|
That`s brings us to where we are right now. I took the Blade away from Shane for a day or so to give it a look over myself - after all, it is a hot new piece of hardware and I needed some time with it, too. Initially I have to say I am fairly impressed with the Blade. I mean, I`ve seen it from a bit of a distance last month at CES in Las Vegas and just last weekend at the Taipei Game Show and while I was pretty impressed, I wasn`t sure what all the fuss was about. Having played with the Blade here in my home office and without what seemed like ten thousands kids around me, I like the Blade. It`s out of stock right now as Razer try their hardest to fill orders (it`s expected to come back into stock around the middle of this month), but it does cost $2,800 USD. In a time where most companies are trying to be price conscious in a market which demands it, Razer is bucking the trend and coming out with a high-end piece of tech equipment which they want every gamer to own."

Asus Updates Eee Pad Transformer with Android 3.2, HH Fires It Up:
|
|
If there's one thing a manufacturer like Asus understands, it's how to service their existing customer base with timely updates for things like firmware and drivers. With their lineage in motherboards, where BIOS updates can be critical for compatibility and performance, a company like Asus knows how to work closely with ecosystem partners in an effort to roll out product updates and enhancements quickly.
And so it's no surprise they're one of the first manufacturers out of the gate with a drop of the latest Android Honeycomb OS version 3.2 for their darling 10.1-inch slate, the Eee Pad Transformer.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime Ice Cream Sandwich Update
|
|
When we first received the new NVIDIA Tegra 3-powered Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime for testing, we had solid communication from both Asus and NVIDIA that this tablet was one of Google's tablet test vehicles for their upcoming Android 4.0 operating system, also referred to as Ice Cream Sandwich. Besides the fact that the folks at Google have a bit of a sweet tooth, at least when it comes to development project code names, this new iteration of Google's OS reportedly was targeted primarily at performance enhancements, with a few feature-adds and UI tweaks thrown into the mix...

Ultrabooks: Intel Knows Whats Good For You
|
|
Intel?s decision to back the ultrabook is a strange one. It?s odd that Intel has decided to take a leading role in the basic design of consumer laptops. It?s weird that the design the company has outlined creates a new class of computers that appear inspired by one of Intel?s customers, Apple. And it?s unusual for Intel to almost exclusively push products that are not its quickest, but rather its most power efficient."
