The tablet market is growing and is devouring the next big option available, laptops. The technology market has become a food chain of reverse sorts; laptops are eating on bigger animals in the shapes of desktops and tablets are feeding on laptops. Smartphones, on the other hand, seem to be herbivorous, at least for now. […]

With Core i5 quad-core CPUs, the new Surface Pro line of tablets might give a second chance for iPad and the likes. Though it is on the shorter side of the stick when it comes to thickness, but it is light weight and very elegant with Magnesium finish all over, giving it a solid look. […]

Toshiba rolled out a new ultrabook, Satellite U845W, out its factory doors that is quite different from the likes of others. Since mid-2011, the computer market has been hoarded by a slew of ultrabooks that either look like MacBook Air or look like each other. That is not the case with U845W. The new ultrabook […]

The answer to this question is though yes but the explanation is twofold. First, we must identify what ultrabooks are all about. The first ultra-slim notebook was launched by Apple in the shape of MacBook Air in 2007. It was thin and light-weight to increase its potential for portability. It had a graphics card ample […]

The screen is 4.3-inch diagonally, which is best size that is neither small like iPhone nor big like Samsung Galaxy Note or HTC Titan II. The smartphone is 4G LTE enabled and priced at $99 with a new two-year contract with AT&T and that is the best part. It is affordable and very competitive in […]

Not a long time ago, the moniker ‘Ultrabook’ was taken for laptops that boasted a small 13-inch screen, a very thin chassis, no optical drive and a low- to middle-end graphics card. However, the concept is changing fast and new notebooks pouring in the market are soaking more and more specifications in. The latest device […]

The Timeline Ultra M3 has clean lines, a matte black plastic body, and an aluminum lid. The entire laptop’s construction has a hollower feel than the rock-solid metal build of a MacBook Air or even the Razer Blade. This Acer has the veneer of a budget-level machine, and the keyboard and screen to match. The […]

The 15.6-inch LED screen is a major letdown when it comes to resolution. A maximum resolution of 1,366×768 pixels feels like cheating when all the other graphics and processor upgrades are thrown in; after all, this laptop boasts a next-gen Nvidia GPU, so why not show off a higher resolution? It baffles me, and while […]

However, there is one performance aspect of note: when running on battery, even on “high-performance” settings, benchmark results dipped. Street Fighter IV dropped to 30.5 frames per second at 1,366×768 with the same graphics settings on battery power; when outputting to a 1080p monitor via HDMI, the frame rate dropped to 20.8 fps. The laptop […]

The speakers are in the front side giving a loud audio, which is welcome. However, fall short of the quality suggested by the Dolby Home Theatre Professionally Tuned label that hovers above the keyboard. Again, the speakers are fine for normal laptop use, but audio on ultrabooks like the Asus Zenbook put it to shame. […]
