Dell announces Vostro V131 with USB 3.0, Core i3 and i5 CPUs and a chiclet keyboard
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksDellVostro V131
There's a fine debate going on as we speak about Dell's back-to-school consumer laptops, but personally, we've always had a soft spot for Dell's small business-focused Vostro line. The outfit's just announced a new addition to the lineup, the 13.3-inch V131, and while it doesn't look that different from the last-gen V130, it offers all the spec bumps you'd expect from a laptop announced in mid-2011.

Acer still shrinking PC orders, won't pick up 'til September
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAcer
Acer continues to reduce its orders for traditional PC notebook parts through August as it continues to struggle in the face of the iPad effect. According to Digitimes Taiwanese supply chain sources, Acer is unlikely to boost parts orders until September. In particular, its once popular netbooks have lost any sales momentum, while it continues to realign its growth strategy around its Iconia Android-powered tablet range.

Toshiba Announces First Glasses-Free 3D Laptop
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksToshibaQosmio F755-3D290
In the rush to move everything into the third dimension, Toshiba has announced their latest glasses-free 3D notebook, the Qosmio F755 3D. The laptop is even capable of displaying 2D and 3D content at the same time. So how does it all work?
Toshiba achieves the 3D glasses-free viewing by using the latest in auto-stereoscopic display technology. The 15.6" LCD is a full HD TruBrite panel with Active Lens technology, with double parallax technology that allows it to project two sets of images at the same time, splitting them between the left and right eyes to create the 3D effect. Toshiba’s Face Tracking technology then uses the laptop’s webcam to optimize the projection of the image by reactin...

Toshiba's Qosmio F755: Not the First Glasses-Free 3D Laptop
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksToshibaQosmio F755-3D290
Tricky, tricky, Toshiba. There's a story going around today that Toshiba's new Qosmio F755 laptop is the world's first laptop with a glasses-free 3D screen, but that's just not true.
Back in 2003, we reviewed the Sharp Actius RD3D, the real first U.S. laptop to include a parallax barrier 3D screen. At the time, reviewer Bill Howard said "Our experience viewing still images was outstanding. You do notice an apparent loss of resolution going into 3-D mode (each eye sees 512-by-768 worth of pixels), but the foreground-to-background separation is outstanding. It was even better playing a Spiderman demo movie."

Intel Creates $300 Million Fund to Make Ultrabooks
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksIntel
There's a new segment of portable PCs coming soon, and they're called Ultrabooks. Intel took the wraps off of the design direction at Computex 2011 for exceptionally thin-and-light notebooks that take many design cues from Apple's MacBook Air.
Asus and Acer have already announced Ultrabook products, and there will be plenty more coming because Intel is pushing hard for the growth of this new segment that the chip giant believes will be 40 percent of the consumer laptop market segment by the end of 2012.

New Panasonic Toughbook S10 Will Take Whatever You Can Dish Out, For a Price
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksPanasonicToughbook S10
Panasonic isn’t the biggest name in laptops these days, except if you are planning on dropping, splashing, or otherwise abusing the daylights out of your machine. In that case, the Toughbook series is right up your alley. And the newest member of the Toughbook family, the S10, won’t force you to make any performance tradeoffs for the tank-like design.

Apple forces competition to abandon metal skin for UltraBooks

Apple is once again proving just how powerfully influential it is in IT. By effectively cornering the market on CNC (computer numerical control) lathes, the company is forcing its already reeling competitors to move from metal to fiberglass chassis on their Intel UltraBooks.

Acer Notebook Aspires for MacBook Air-like Proportions
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAcerApple
Thin and light notebooks inevitably draw comparisons to Apple's MacBook Air, and you can probably expect a lot more of that once Ultrabooks emerge, at least at first. Part of the reason probably has to do with there not being a ton of pancaked proportioned notebooks. Intel aims to change the mobile landscape with its Ultrabook concept, and it looks as though Acer is itching to get started.

Dell's Latitude XT3 tablet PC gets a product page, spins around for your amusement
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksDellLatitude XT3
Well lookee here -- it's the snazzy new Dell tablet PC that we first spotted way back in February. The Latitude XT3 finally has a product page to call its own, yet another hint that it will be swiveling its way into the hands and hearts of buyers in the near future -- a notion further driven home by the convertible's recent cameo on the FCC. The 13.3-inch laptop sports an Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processor, Windows 7, and works with a finger or stylus -- remember those?

Ghosting issues haunt Lenovo ThinkPad X220
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksLenovoThinkPad X220
Some Lenovo customers are concerned about ghosting on LCD screens in the ThinkPad X220 laptop, in which images temporarily remain fixed on screens, but the company tried to allay fears by saying that images dissipate in a short time and do not damage panels.
The ghosting phenomena -- commonly called image persistence -- are common to LCDs and do not cause images to burn into displays, said Ray Gorman, a Lenovo spokesman, in an email. But some customers have raised concerns, saying the image persistence was prominent, and the issue was not as seemingly normal as projected by Lenovo.

ASUS Eee PC X101 with MeeGo gets official listing
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksASUSEee PC X101
ASUS’ MeeGo-running Eee PC X101 has found itself an official product page, ahead of the 1.5GHz Intel Atom Oak Trail 1.33 GHz Intel Atom N435 ultraportable’s release later this month. The 10.1-inch netbook has a 1024 x 600 display, 1GB of RAM as standard (2GB max) and an 8GB SSD, humble specs but probably sufficient for the MeeGo OS it’s loaded with.
While initial indications suggested that ASUS would offer the X101 as a dual-booting machine able to load into either MeeGo or Windows 7, the company later decided to split the two platforms between two separate models. That’s left the X101 to be the low-cost option, with a sub-$200 RRP, while the X101H running Windows 7 is a hundred dollars or s...
