Samsung's 17-inch Series 7 Chronos dances over the Ivy Bridge
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsung
Since Ivy Bridge finally trotted down the yellow brick road, there's been a growing number of tin-men waiting for their hearts. Samsung's 17-inch Series 7 Chronos, it seems, was also a member of that club. We first saw the desktop replacement back at CES, and that "next-gen" processor we reported is confirmed as a 2.3GHz i7 3615QM, while the suspected ATI GPU seems to have been switched out for an NVIDIA GeForce 650M. Memory and storage are taken care of by 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB SATA HDD respectively. For your human inputs, that 17.3-inch (1920 x 1080) non-reflective screen will fill your eyes, while JBL speakers take care of your ears. As for the computer's, there's HDMI, two USB 3.0 ports,...

HP Envy 4 and Envy 6 uncovered: no Ivy Bridge, a discrete GPU, and a 500GB HDD
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHP
We've been keeping a close eye on HP's new Envy 4 and Envy 6 ultrabooks since the company first listed them on its support page, and now we know both what the new laptops will look like, and what they have under the hood. A copy of the user manual posted in the Notebook Review forums contains a number of images, showing off a black, brushed-metal chassis, a full array of ports, and an acutely-angled lip under the trackpad echoed by the laptop's hinge.

Apple Could Discontinue 17-inch MacBook Pro
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleMacBook Pro unibody 17-inch
Market researcher Ming-Chi Kuo, who is credible with reports on Apple's product lineup in the past, predicted that Apple could discontinue the 17-inch variant of its MacBook Pro soon, owing to weak sales. Apple's next MacBook Pro could look increasingly like the MacBook Air, offering high-performance in a very compact form-factor. Being a major design rejig, Apple could take a fresh look at the viability of each variant based on its past market reception. "While adding new products, Apple is likely to stop making the 17” MacBook Pro this year due to falling shipments, in order to maintain a lean product line strategy," Kuo writes in his report.

NVIDIA: there's nothing 'Ultra' about Ivy Bridge Ultrabooks unless you add Kepler
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksIntelnVIDIA
This is a vaguely awkward message for NVIDIA to be putting out. On one hand, the company is best buddies with Intel and is hoping to see its next-gen GPUs bundled with a large portion of the Ivy Bridge notebooks that will ship this year. But to reach that target, it must risk irking Chipzilla by emphasizing the limitations of Ivy Bridge's integrated graphics. That's exactly what happened at a recent presentation, when NVIDIA told us there'll be "nothing Ultra" about the performance of a regular Ivy Bridge Ultrabook because the integrated HD 4000 graphics will only handle around 43 percent of current games.

Sony VAIO E Series 14P gets Ivy Bridge processor nudge, improved display
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSony
While they may not be the Sony ultrabooks we're still all itching to see, the company's E Series 14P laptops have reappeared with some Ivy Bridge bones. According to Sony Australia, the previously Intel Core i3 processor has been bulked up to a third-generation 2.1GHz Core i7-3612QM, capable of 3.1GHz with Turbo Boost. That's not the only difference, with the 14-inch display boosted to 1600 x 900 and a new choice between AMD'S Radeon HD 7670M or Intel's HD Graphics 4000 to provide the graphical horse power in the updated hardware. The aluminum-splashed laptops, priced at $1,500 AUD (around $1,608 USD), will still house Sony's Gesture Control functions. This should allow you to navigate aroun...

Alienware M11x won't be refreshed in 2012, set to be discontinued
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAlienwareM11x
Dell's Alienware M11x is set to be discontinued, after the company told us it has no plans to refresh the smallest member of its gaming laptop family. The M11x was and remains a truly unique product in what is otherwise a thoroughly saturated market — never before it had we seen a gamer-centric aesthetic and spec sheet brought down to the 11-inch form factor. Unfortunately, as well-received and successful as this product has been for Dell, the company says it no longer has a logical place in its product portfolio. Users are said to be demanding full-sized keyboards and optical drives from their gaming PCs, mobile or otherwise, and the Alienware M14x is the model to satisfy those needs.
