For many, the end of the netbook is a fact. While these laptops and technology were in fashion between 2008 and 2010, in 2011 and 2012 very few companies are dedicated to making follow. These small became very popular in the U.S. market, but today it is very rare to find in stores. As tablets started to come into play, speed, portability and battery life ended up killing netbooks.
Now, according to a recent report, Asus plans to stop producing EeePC
equipment, which would be a devastating blow to the industry as are
available in the market about 20 different EeePC models.
For now, only Asus and Acer are companies that still produce netbooks,
and indeed the vast majority of them are sold in emerging markets such
as South America and Southeast Asia.
Will 2013 go down as the year when netbooks completely stopped being produced?
While devices mobile with Android and iOS operating system have had excellent sales and more so in recent days over Christmas, smartphones and tablets that use the above operating systems are still far from being the replacement of computers and especially the laptops . We can be sure that the environment of the PCs will not be affected for now.
According to Frank Gillett, an analyst at Forrester Research, tablets
will not end with computers, but that will force evolve, which in fact
is already happening. Windows 8, but is SO bad for some, is undoubtedly part of the new generation. The operating system created by Microsoft is designed keeping in mind the touch interfaces, which until 1 or 2 years were not in the world of computers.
When someone goes on a business trip the idea of carrying only a smartphone
or tablet sounds great, but eventually everyone realizes that to really
work a laptop is necessary as it provides a larger screen and more
processing power, not to mention another point as the physical keyboard.
What do you think about this? Will end up becoming tablets replacing notebooks?
Sometimes
connect our home theater system can become a challenge, especially if
you are familiar with the ports on which cables should be routed.
This task may sometimes become difficult, especially when multiple cables must be connected in HDMI its correct ports. To avoid a lot of trouble there is Multi-PDP Afterglow HDMI Cable, a new type of cable similar to what we see in the image allows us to quickly identify which port each connector.
The cable was not released yet, but hope to do so soon. Could we see at CES 2013? Perhaps, so hopefully so.
If you plan to purchase a new smartphone
soon but do not want to have to buy one contract and instead want a
fully unlocked, then we suggest that you take a look at what new BLU Products, the 4.65 Live HD,
a smartphone that runs Android 4.0 and as its name suggests has a
4.65-inch screen Super AMOLED type and features HD resolution.
Apart from the aforementioned screen, the rest of the hardware of the phone is pretty decent, with a processor type Cortex-A9 dual-core 1.2GHz beside which there is 1GB of RAM. The smartphone also has a 8 megapixel camera that can record videos in HD and has two SIM card slots.
4.65 The BLU Live HD
will be released next month and will cost $ 300 without a contract in
the U.S., but do not know if it will be available in other markets.
Televisions are devices that have evolved over the past decades due to advances in the technology . The Smart TVs
are without doubt the most advanced television market and are even able
to connect to the Internet and allow us to run all kinds of
applications, but it seems that is not the place to use apps . People are not interested in using applications like Facebook or any other similar in television, prefer otherwise.
As mentioned, users choose content apps media, streaming services and music. Obviously among the most used can be found at Netflix and Hulu, two popular video streaming services, series and movies. Pandora is also used for music.
But their use is not typically give is to watch YouTube videos, read books or surf Facebook.
Does this look like a normal or something surprising?
The technology today is a little more advanced than it appears, at least we finally made it to a point where it is almost possible to replicate nature. A laboratory team Ikei of Tokyo Metropolitan University has announced recently a very interesting technology capable of using virtual body and replicate our five senses.
The Virtual Body technology uses a 3D monitor, headphones, a fan to
create and propagate breezes essences, a chair that moves and vibrates
and a pair of foot pedals. To see the performance of the system can check the video below.
With all of its components, the system is able to replicate the five human senses almost accurate. You can recreate flavors without problems and even the feeling of walking barefoot.
What do you think?
According to new reports, Samsung will be presented the first smartphone operating system Tizen early 2013. Tizen is an open source OS based on Linux and the company is developing with NTT DoCoMo, Vodafone, Intel and other firms in the industry the technology . As mentioned above, we can see in a smartphone as of this month and will also launch soon, but no exact dates yet.
Tizen is a scalable operating system that can run on all kinds of devices including smartphones, tablets, computers desktop, smart TVs, etc. Something very important about it is that it will also be able to run Android applications through the Application Compatibility Layer of Open Mobile. Compared to Android, Tizen is a more open OS yet, mainly due to the monitoring by Google on Android.
In some cases it has been referred to a variant of the Galaxy S III Tizen bear, but nothing is confirmed yet. We will have to wait a little longer to find out.
A new Lenovo tablet running Windows 8 could be released in the coming months. It is a convertible model named Helix ThinkPad.
The ThinkPad Helix is a 11.6 inch tablet that can easily be placed in a keyboard dock to turn it into a notebook . The device is well equipped and no doubt many of us here would like to have it in our hands.
What Lenovo ThinkPad Helix integrates then?
It carries an Intel Core i7 third generation, has a touch screen whose
resolution is 1920 × 1080 pixels and can be used with the stylus that
comes with the device, and it has 4GB of RAM and a 120GB SSD, 180GB or
240GB.
We hope to have more details soon.
