Samsung Launches Series 9 All-in-One PC

Samsung Launches Series 9 All-in-One PC

Posted on Jan 25, 2012 by MG3

Samsung has released Series 9 All-in-One (or simply AIO), and more specifically the model that was released today carries a model number 900A7A. It adopts a similar design as Samsung's Series 7 T27B750 display, which we covered earlier. The most unique feature in Series 9 AIO is the support for 3D. We have seen several AIOs with 3D panels from Sony and HP, but the Series 9 seems to be the first 27" one.

$35 Raspberry Pi Model B computer shows off AirPlay capabilities

Posted on Jan 23, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: Desktop Computers

Not long ago we published a story about Raspberry Pi, a $35 Linux-based single board computer that is still in development. Now, a Model B version of the device is being demoed and it shows off the small computer’s AirPlay streaming capabilities. The video shows one of Raspberry Pi’s developers using an iPad to stream a video clip to the Raspberry Pi Model B device using AirPlay without a hitch. The developers behind the tiny and affordable computer have said they hope the gadget will eventually be used in schools, although it’s still unclear when the company will begin shipping devices to consumers. A video of Model B working seamlessly with AirPlay follows after the break.

Apple seen selling 4.9 million Macs in holiday quarter

Apple seen selling 4.9 million Macs in holiday quarter

Posted on Jan 18, 2012 by MG3

Updated US sales estimates from the NPD Group hint that Apple sold about 4.9 million Macs worldwide during the December quarter, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. Data is now in for all three months, showing US sales up 12 percent year-over-year. The 4.9 million figure is, however, a lowered forecast on Munster's part -- 300,000 units below a previous target, even if that would still mean global growth of 18 percent.

Alienware X51: Compact PC for gaming glory

Alienware X51: Compact PC for gaming glory

Posted on Jan 18, 2012 by MG3

Alienware has entered the compact desktop market with the Alienware X51. Just a fraction bigger than an Xbox 360, the new hardware packs a top end Nvidia graphics card and more than enough processor grunt to run the latest games.
Conventional small desktop units, usually designed for the living room or as a cheap family PC, usually use laptop components or lack any gaming capabilities. Alienware has used its gaming expertise to fit an easily upgradeable hardware setup into an extremely small box.

U.S. PC Shipments Down 6% in Q4 2011, Apple Up 21%

U.S. PC Shipments Down 6% in Q4 2011, Apple Up 21%

Posted on Jan 12, 2012 by MG15

It appears that PCs are just not the hot gift idea they once were. According to Gartner, U.S. PC shipments were down almost 6% in the fourth quarter of 2011. Apple, however, continues to grow its market share with sales up nearly 21% in the same time. This pushes Apple to the number 3 spot in the U.S. computer market. Still far in the lead are HP and Dell, which have 23% and 22% of the market respectively. Apple’s overall market share is 11%. Lenovo’s sales actually grew by 40%, but it sells so few units in America that it did not figure in the top tier of makers. Apple is the only manufacturer in the top five that grew at all. Apple’s good fortune can be accounted for partially by its retai...

Samsung's Chromebox Is Coming Mid-2012, But Who The Hell Is It Aimed At?

Samsung's Chromebox Is Coming Mid-2012, But Who The Hell Is It Aimed At?

Posted on Jan 11, 2012 by MG15

Since Sammy announced in early 2011 that it was planning to release a Chromebox, everybody forgot about the idea. Now the company has announced it's shipping mid-2012, but we're not sure it knows exactly who's going to buy it. The exact specs aren't final, but Engadget reports from CES that it definitely has a handful of ports, including five USB 2.0 sockets, DVI, DisplayPort and a headphone jack, and comes bundled with a wireless keyboard-and-mouse combo. It should cost in the region of $400, and ship sometime in the second quarter of 2012. But the big question is: who's it for?

Lenovo announces IdeaCentre A720 all-in-one with a multitouch display that lies nearly flat

Lenovo announces IdeaCentre A720 all-in-one with a multitouch display that lies nearly flat

Posted on Jan 11, 2012 by MG1

Now that Lenovo's let it all out, it's easy to understand how it approached CES, and the days leading up to it. Thursday was ThinkPad day, yesterday was for all manner of consumer swag and today, Monday, is all about eye-catching designs. In addition to unveiling the Yoga convertible tablet, the company introduced the IdeaCentre A720, what it says is the world's thinnest 27-inch all-in-one. Similar to the HP TouchSmart 610, which debuted around this time last year, it has a display that can be tilted between 5 and 90 degrees, the idea being that that 10-point multitouch panel will be easier to use if it's lying at a near-flat angle. Spec-wise, it'll be offered with various Intel Core i proce...

Zotac's Cedar Trail ZBOX ID80 Uses Discrete GPU

Posted on Jan 10, 2012 by MG3

Intel announced its 32nm Atom platform for netbooks/nettops at the end of last year. Codenamed Cedar Trail the new Atom doesn't really change CPU performance all that much but includes a new GPU block from Imagination Technologies. The PowerVR SGX 545 comes with all Cedar Trail Atom CPUs by default, however it looks like due to driver issues the integrated graphics on the very first Cedar Trail systems will be disabled.

Posted on Jan 09, 2012 by MG3

Vizio has unveiled its new PC line-up at CES 2012 this morning, set to hit shelves in the spring, but the company is still coy about pricing and full specifications. Instead, there’s plenty about Vizio’s Internet Apps (V.I.A.) Ecosystem, spreading multimedia across the company’s TVs and now PCs, along with the promise of a clean-running system thanks to some help from Microsoft.

Lenovo outs IdeaCentre B340 and B540 all-in-ones, H520s and IdeaCentre K430 towers

Posted on Jan 09, 2012 by MG1

Ultrabooks might be the belle of the ball at this year's CES, but that doesn't mean you won't see a few desktops thrown in for variety's sake. Lenovo just unveiled a quartet of stationary machines, including two towers and a pair of touchscreen all-in-ones. Beginning with those touchscreens, the IdeaCentre B340 and B540 are essentially the same system, except the former has a 21.5-inch screen and the latter expands to 23. Both have 1080p displays and can be configured with up to 8GB of RAM and 2TB of storage, an optional Blu-ray drive and 3D tech. The only variation in specs, so far as we can tell, is that the 21.5-inch version maxes out with a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce 615M card, whereas for the 2...

Maingear says it will offer the AMD Radeon HD 7970 in its Shift, F131 and Vybe desktops

Maingear says it will offer the AMD Radeon HD 7970 in its Shift, F131 and Vybe desktops

Posted on Jan 09, 2012 by MG3

When AMD announced its latest flagship, the Radeon HD 7970, we knew it was fast and efficient (because reviewers said so!), but gamers were told they'd have to wait until the new year to try it themselves. Now, precisely on schedule, the card is available for purchase, and we're starting to hear word of systems that will be refreshed to include the 28nm card. Maingear just said that it will offer the 7970 inside its Shift and F131 desktops, followed by the Vybe at some later date. If you recall, the card has a 925MHz engine that can be overclocked to 1.1GHz, 2,048 stream processors and an unusual 384-bit memory bus serving 3GB of GDDR5 -- not to mention, it's capable of a mere 3W power draw ...
