The PS4 could cost less than $ 600 as the CEO of Sony America

The Sony press event organized last February 20th left us with more questions than answers. The CEO of Sony America, Jack Tretton, answered several questions after the announcement of the PlayStation 4.

The interesting question everyone is obviously much will the PS4 and whether it will be as expensive as the PS3 when it was released about 7 years ago. Tretton did not give a direct answer, but it was more like an evasion, and he said he "hopes" that the price is less than $ 600. Consider now a PS3 can be purchased from $ 250, so obviously hope to bring the price of the PS4 between these two amounts mentioned. The idea of the company is that the PS4 is more friendly to our pockets, but have not yet decided on a final price.

As for the absence of the console in the event announcement, Tretton said he found it necessary to make it known yet, after all, once it is ours, we will look at what will be playing our TV screen and not the console other.

He also said that some aspects of the PS4 are not yet finished, and polish some things missing and some design specifications. Something similar happened with the PS3, which is said to be announced that would have all kinds of ports that were not part of the final product, so do not be surprised if the same applies to the new PS4.

Pixel Chromebook, Google's new laptop with high definition touch screen

Earlier this month, leaked on the Internet a video of a supposed prototype Pixel Chromebook, Google's new laptop. On Wednesday, the company officially unveiled its new notebook, which has a very good screen technology.

This is not a Chromebook as we are used to seeing. Not only is it better than the rest, but also much more expensive, costing $ 1300. The notebook has a touch screen of 12.8 inches with a great resolution of 2560 × 1700 pixels, slightly better than the Retina display that brings 13-inch MacBook Pro from Apple.

Under his case, the Chromebook Pixel has an Intel Core i5 dual-core processor running at 1.8GHz, the graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, has 4GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD, but we can expect to acquire 1TB Google Drive storage for three years. The estimated battery life is about 5 hours and also has WiFi connectivity. Regarding the ports, has two USB 2.0, a headphone jack and a Mini DisplayPort. It also includes a SD card reader, an HD webcam and of course a trackpad.

There is a model with better specs that costs $ $ 1450 and comes with 64GB of SSD, 4G LTE connectivity and a 100MB monthly plan for LTE Verizon (available only to U.S. probably).

Pixel The body is made of aluminum and its entire design is intended to give the impression that this is a team "premium".

If we compare what it costs and what it offers, we will see that in the market there are better alternatives (except for the screen, obviously), but the Vice President of Chrome says this device is designed for those who rely heavily on the cloud. Even today, despite the fact that cloud services are becoming very popular, it is still very difficult to find someone to make use of the cloud in all its activities and even more, to trust all your data to it.

The Pixel Chromebook can be purchased from the store or from some stores Play Best Buy.

Apple loses popularity among youth while Microsoft's Win

If 3 years ago, someone had said that Apple would not be a popular company among youth, probably would not have believed, and the same would have happened if we were told that Microsoft would become a company's most popular and recognized again by youth . Yet this is the reality as revealed by a recent survey.

The survey in this case was not done by any small firm, but by Reuters, one of the largest news agencies in the world. 50% of Americans between 18 and 29 believe that Microsoft is more popular and great compared to last year. Still, the software giant has a long way to become the company's most popular technology industry, since 70% of respondents who are in that age frame believe that Google's Android operating system has greatly improved over 2012, which led him to be recognized. 60% believe that Apple has become more popular over the last year, but the expected percentage was higher for sure.

Reuters believes that the reason why young people consider Microsoft a company more popular compared to 2012 is due to their new marketing campaigns for Surface tablet and also thanks to the Xbox 360 and Kinect, because since both came to market have always been very well regarded.

Galaxy S IV would be delayed by problems with the Exynos 5

We have already seen a lot of rumors that talk about the future flagship smartphone from one of the leading companies in the technology industry. Of course we are talking about Samsung and its Galaxy S IV, which according to all forecasts will be released next month.

This obviously is not 100% safe, and in fact may not be so, since the Galaxy S IV could be delayed due to some problems with one of its components, its processor, the new cool Samsung Exynos five of eight cores . But these are not problems of incompatibility with mobile or anything, but a production problem which would delay the Galaxy S IV for a few weeks probably.

The fact of not having enough pieces of hardware for the first wave of units is something that can affect any device launch and subsequent sales that already happened to Apple a few times in the past, for example. We hope that this obviously is not the case of Samsung, because otherwise we will have to wait more than three weeks to see the new supersmartphone.
