Microsoft Surface RT review: the first Microsoft tablet
|
 Ironically, it's the software that is the weak point of the Microsoft Surface RT, and it feels strange to write that about the world's biggest software company. It may look and feel like Windows 8, the fact that you're limited to only Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote on the desktop, along with the lack of enough (quality) apps in the Windows Store, really works against the Surface RT.

Revisiting Dell's XPS 13 Ultrabook
|
|
Technology marches to the beat of its own drum and the hard part is keeping in step with the rhythm. You may recall, for example, that we already reviewed Dell's XPS 13 Ultrabook a year ago, singing high praise for its edge-to-edge display, stellar battery life, and overall performance, which at the time was the best we'd seen from an Ultrabook. If we were to compare it with today's crop of Ultrabooks, however, we'd have to sing a different tune now that Ivy Bridge is pervasive in the market. Or would we? Dell went back and re-wrote the lyrics without changing the name of the song, which is our way of saying the XPS 13 Ultrabook we have for review is a refreshed model...

Dell XPS 12 Convertible Ultrabook Review @ Hardware Canucks
|
|
With the release of Windows 8, Dell has quickly followed up with their XPS 12, a notebook which can also moonlight as a 12 tablet by way of an innovative flip mechanism. However, is Dell trying to cover too many bases at once? Can the XPS 12 offer the best of both worlds or is this a jack of all trades but master of none?"

Pakuma Choroka K2 Laptop Messenger Bag Review @ TestFreaks
|
|
We are a mobile society, we take quite a bit with us and that includes laptops which arent exactly heavy duty and durable. Lets face it, accidents happen, so I figure why not be prepared and at least protect your electronics with a decent bag or case? Today for review I have the Pakuma Choroka K2 laptop messenger bag that will fit laptops up to 15.4 in size. This laptop isnt inexpensive, but its not overly expensive either, it sells for about $50 and I think its well worth it. The K2 bag features the Pakuma Cocoon system to protect your laptop, which uses memory foam to keep your laptop from getting damaged. The bag also has plenty of room for everything you need for the day, and theres an abundance or pockets to help keep things organized and separated. So read on to learn more "

News: Samsungs ATIV Smart PC Pro 700T convertible tablet reviewed
|
|
This Windows 8 convertible has x86 ultrabook guts, an 11.6 1080p display, and speedy solid-state storage. Attach it to the bundled keyboard dock, and it turns into a quasi-ultrabook. Is this the ultimate Windows 8 mobile machine, and is it worth the nearly $1,200 asking price?"

|
|
Simple yet stylish design, high quality materials, great craftsmanship, and smart implementations, make the ECBC Poseidon Messenger Bag K7202 a great choice if you are looking for a safe way to carry your valuable electronics around. The ECBC Poseidon Messenger Bag K7202 packs some great features: Luggage handle pass-through section, water resistant coating and zippers, large count of compartments, and a fail-safe shoulder strap clip. The padded handle is very comfortable and so is the adjustable shoulder strap. The seams on the ECBC Poseidon Messenger Bag K7202 feel very solid and the attention to detail on this unit is remarkable."

ASUS S56C 15.6-inch Ultrabook Review @ Techgage
|
|
The Ultrabook term is often associated with super-small notebooks, but ASUS is here with a model to remind us that 15.6-inch models can be included, too. Were taking a look at the S56C, a Core i5-3317U-powered offering that includes 6GB of memory, a 24GB SSD for caching, and is built like a tank."

Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T Windows 8 Tablet Review
|
|
Not long ago, we tested one of Samsung’s new Windows 8 tablets to take a close-up look at Intel’s Clover Trail Atom Z2760 SoC. Now that we’ve covered the chip driving the tablet, it’s time to take a look at the Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T as a whole. The tablet runs about $650 by itself, which puts the price on par with a similarly-configured iPad. (Well, as similarly as it can be configured.) Throw in the optional keyboard and dock for another $100, and you’re still looking at a device that should be able to stand in for your laptop in some situations, at an attainable price.

ACER Aspire S7 11.6 inch Touch Enabled Ultrabook Review @ Legit Reviews
|
|
The ACER Aspire S7-191-6640 has been one of my better experiences with an ultrabook. Over the past few months I`ve had my hands on the Cyberpower Zeus M2, and the Dell XPS14. Each of those had their own strong points and their own week points. The ACER Aspire s7-191-6640 really didn`t seem to have much in the way any weak points, at least not in my experience. Of course there could always be more performance from the processor, but hey, that`s pretty much true of any system out there..."

ASUS VivoBook S400CA review: 14-inch touch notebook
|
|
If you're looking for a new Ultrabook with a touch screen, you could do worse than the ASUS VivoBook S400CA. It's relatively light and compact, and while we would have preferred a resolution higher than 1366x768, ASUS isn't pricing this as a high-end model. It also lasts a pretty long time on a single battery charge.
