As some of you might remember, earlier this year, we got to spend a few hours testing NVIDIA's 3D Vision technology and came out very impressed at the “other end” of the testing period, since the respective solution was the closest possible thing to a full 3D experience in the comfort of one's home. Moreover, a couple of weeks ago, we even said a few things about Asus' plans to launch a couple of 3D notebooks onto the market, both powered by a mobile version of 3D Vision.And now, it seems that the GPU manufacturer has finally decided to let the proverbial cat out of the bag and officially announced the expansion o...

However, it seems that Dell has finally decided to end the wait and officially unleashed onto the world what really is, at the moment, the thinnest notebook ever manufactured.As we said several times before in our articles regarding Dell's touting of the new Adamo XPS, this system is the world's thinnest in its category, measuri...

That's pretty much the case with the company's Vaio W series, its first full-fledged netbooks (the Vaio P is also a netbook, but has quite a different form factor and has thus been labeled a “lifestyle PC”).However, we've just corrected this “mishap” during a local Sony event, when we had the chance to take a closer and more attentive look at one of the models from this series.Launc...

So, since it managed to steal the second spot in the worldwide notebook manufacturers' market from Dell, it is pretty... boastful about its products, and keen on letting the world know just what to expect in the future.In any case, after going through all those Windows 7-related announcements, including here the new Timeline notebooks, the touchscreen-equipped 5738PG, as well as that nice and little all-in-one, it's time to look at something far more innovative but that, quite surprisingly, has not received as much att...

So if Apple can't do it (or won't do it, it is all the same to me), who can? Well obviously the next in line is Microsoft, which seems to be in the late stages of development for a tablet-like device of its own, called the Courier. And let me tell you it's been a while since I saw such a beautiful and interesting device. As you pretty well already know by now, there is a thousand categories...

Two of the aforementioned devices are dubbed the HP ENVY 13 and 15. As you've probably guessed, they are the direct descendants of the HP Voodoo ENVY. And let me tell you, the Voodoo ENVY can be extremely proud of its offspring. So, enough with the introduction, let's see what these devices have in store!First of all, the ENVY 13, a 13-inch laptop that impresses with its looks and especially its display, which I have to admit offers some of the best colors that I've seen in some tim... [read more >>] As you might have read in some of our previous articles, Nokia and Intel announced a while ago that they had entered a partnership regarding the development of some “exciting new products” (or something along those lines). However, pretty much no one was expecting this partnership to come to fruition too fast, let alone in 2009.But it looks like Nokia decided to prove everyone wrong and took the world by surprise today by launching its first ever netbook (or mini-laptop, as it prefers to call it), namely the Booklet 3G, which combines a fairly usual netbook configuration with some extras found in only a few other such produ... [read more >>] What does it take to make Sony's Vaio P even more appealing? How about taking the Atom, the Windows and the Sony out of the system altogether and then you will have something like the ECS T800 notebook, which is currently on display at Computex. Although the device is not fully functional, it does make a stand through its elegant design and overall performance features.This gadget, which weighs in at just 800 grams, is to be married with an Android operating system and a low-power non x86 processor.The technical specs on this little ultraportable computer system are impressive, featuring support for your choice of an 800MHz OMAP3 3440 ...

You probably have had many questions regarding its capabilities, design, or whether it will really replace Dell's pretty awesome XPS gamer-oriented laptop line, right? Well, you will find the answer to that and a lot more by continuing to read.First of all, about the Dell XPS line being obsolete... yes, ladies and gents, according to PC World, the guys that got their hands on the M17x laptop, the XPS line is officially being replaced by Alienware. It is the logical step to take considering that Alienware has a broad range of gamer-oriente... [read more >>] As most of you probably know already, just several weeks ago, Amazon introduced the second iteration of its famous Kindle portable eBook reader, the Kindle 2, which brought about some interesting innovations over its predecessor, but still didn't solve the issue of the screen size. However, it would seem that the world's largest online retailer is quite keen on establishing itself as a market leader on the portable readers' market, since it has just rolled out the Kindle DX, a portable e-reader that sports a huge, 9.7-inch display.In fact, this larger display is the thing that truly differentiates the Kindle DX from any of th...
