The markets for mobile and PCs not only continue to evolve, but also sometimes even come together to create a single device. The truth is that a combo between a tablet and a computer desk can be very useful. A clear example of this combination is the Asus Transformer AiO, an all-in-one PC that is also a tablet. Virtually all companies could create models like this, but apparently only Asus interested.
What's in this team then? Well has an Intel Core i5-3350P, which is a quad-core that runs at 3.1GHz and has 6MB of cache. Apart from this, the AiO Transformer has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M 2GB, 8GB DDR3 RAM owns and has a 1TB hard drive. It also has a DVD burner and a 1-megapixel front camera which obviously serves as a webcam.
The facilities including WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0 and Ethernet. Among the various ports we can find four USB 3.0, one USB 2.0 , a headphone jack and a microphone jack, an HDMI port and also a multicard reader.
As might be expected, the new hybrid PC runs with Windows 8 and can make the most of the functions of the operating system due to its great touch screen that measures 18.4 inches and has full HD resolution.
The screen has its own set of specifications as it uses Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory that can be expanded using a microSD card. Its operating system is Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
The Asus Transformer AiO will be launched over the next quarter and will cost $ 1300.
If teams are looking laptops cheap and slightly good, then stay here because you found. Here is a small list of the 6 best portable which costs $ 500 or less. They are arranged in no particular order.
- HP Pavilion g6 ($ 430): powerful, inexpensive and also available in different colors. You can count on an Intel Core i3 or an AMD APU.
- Acer Aspire V3-551-8458 ($ 500 dollars): Is it possible to buy a Windows laptop for a low price with a decent graphics card? Apparently so. Its quad-core AMD APU incorporates a medium quality graphics card that will let you enjoy many games in his 15-inch screen.
- Samsung Chromebook 3 ($ 250): If you want something really cheap, versatile and easy to wear, here you see. This Chromebook has an ARM processor and gives us a great 7 ½ hours of battery.
- Lenovo IdeaPad S400 ($ 455): an ultrathin with Windows 8, Intel Core i3 and weighing only 1.5 kilograms. The battery is not very good to say, but it's still a good team.
- ASUS Q200
($ 500): 12-inch touch screen, low weight, thinness, great speakers,
very good webcam and Windows 8 operating system, all for a pretty good
price.
- HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15z-b000
($ 480): a quad-core processor and 4GB of RAM is all you need to
perform all the daily tasks you perform on your PC, the less clear you
are a professional designer or something. Its battery life of 4 hours is acceptable.
What you think of them all the best?
Nokia introduced several mobile phones a few days ago at the MWC 2013, but what really caught everyone's attention is that none of these phones was improving the Lumia 920, which still remains the smartphone Nokia logo.
This is somewhat understandable if we remember that the Lumia 920 was
launched only four months ago, but still, the matter may change in a few
months.
It has recently been revealed by a Russian blogger Nokia did present a
device capable of being the successor to the 920 in the MWC 2013, but
only a few people could see it, and blogger Eldar Murtazin was one of
them. According to him, this new smartphone is none other than the Nokia Catwalk, on which we learn for the first time in January at CES 2013. What features will this phone?
He will be very thin, have an aluminum body, will incorporate a better
version of the camera PureView Phase 2 ... and that's it.
As said, these would be the "news" of the future flagship smartphone Nokia. Maybe we somehow still find some interesting, but for now the Catwalk is nothing surprising or unusual.
If the technology of the Lumia 920 does not convince you and expect something slightly better, then start saving to buy this phone.
Japanese manufacturers of mobile phones usually take very interesting and attractive models, and often tend to be unique to the country of the rising sun. While Japan has lost its former glory as the big manufacturer of phones in the hands of Apple and South Korea's Samsung , it has not taken away some ideas companies head. Straight from Japan comes the new Phone Strap 2, a tiny mobile created by Willcom. What catches the attention of Phone Strap 2
is measuring just 2 inches tall and measures just 1 inch screen, which
makes it the world's smallest mobile phone and also the lightest.
Obviously such a small phone that carries a small battery, so we can only use it to talk for two hours. Nor can we expect wonderful functions or anything like what we see in modern smartphones built today.
Willcom Phone Strap 2 launch on 21 March. The most amazing thing is the price, and it will cost about $ 380 and only 12,000 units were manufactured.
Google is very happy apparently. A year ago the app store that the company ceased to be known as Android Market and renamed Google Play, where you can also buy more things, not just apps . To celebrate the first birthday of the store Play, the search engine company has decided to launch offers and discounts for various applications and other products, and of course we will also be offering some downloads totally free these days.
Electronic books, TV shows, music and other things can be downloaded free from the Google store.
The good thing about all this is that these and other deals will not be
available only for the U.S. version of Play, but to other regions also,
but what it could be unique to the U.S. and UK are special cards that
we would get even more benefits.
In any case, surely these days we do some free download, so we must take advantage of everything we can.
If we assume that Apple
will continue to launch products in the same way it has done in recent
years, then you should not be surprised if in about 5 or 6 months is
announced the iPhone 5S. It is expected that this smartphone
keeps the design of the iPhone 5 but change some internal components,
adding probably a better processor, better GPU, maybe more RAM and
probably would have a new function. But going a step further into the future we ask the following: How will the iPhone 6? Martin Hajek gives us an idea using their conceptual models.
The most noticeable change would be the screen, the size of which would extend the 4.8 inch,
but would be achieved without increasing the overall size of the phone,
but simply reducing the bezel everything possible to increase the width
and extending along a little more, Similar to as shown in the above
image on the right model.
This conceptual model also dismisses the popular iPhone home button,
leaving as the only physical buttons control the volume, power and
screen lock securely.
Hajek has also thought of a second model (left) similar to that
described above, all you would have a smaller screen and have basically
no bevel on the sides, which would also smaller than the iPhone 5.
Because Apple
designs have only a few changes compared to the previous model, you can
practically predict how it will look with the new approach that the
Apple iPhone launch.
What do you think about this design concept?
Finally, after many months, the use of Android 4 has exceeded that has version 2.3, Gingerbread. With Android 4 refers not only to Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), but also to Jelly Bean (4.1 and 4.2). For the first time, Android 4 is the major dominant sector.
Today, of all existing Android smartphones, 45.1% use Ice Cream
Sandwich and Jelly Bean, while Gingerbread gets 44.2%, but if we look at
individual values the 2.3 version would remain the number 1.
Regarding the less popular versions, Honeycomb has 1.2% of the total, 1.9% pose Eclair, Froyo 7.6% and 0.2% Donut old.
No doubt that Gingerbread has proved a platform not only durable, but also very well received. The above values continue to show that Android is still quite fragmented, and for sure it will continue for many years. Obviously this is not good for developers, who tend to get apps
that are more compatible with newer versions as Ice Cream Sandwich and
Jelly Bean, but if you really want to have a larger scope should also
make them compatible with the old version of Gingerbread.
Reappear rumors about the iPhone Apple, and although many people say one thing and others say another, we
must take account of them all, since probably the end of the day will
have any reason. It is said that a new iPhone will hit stores this year and that model is the iPhone 5S, which is something that many expect to happen. From what we can not be sure of is on a release date, but it seems that the new Apple phone will be released in August.
This iPhone will be similar to the iPhone 5 and behind it are the same
production lines charge the latest model launched by Apple. The majority of changes are rather inside the casing and outside, as the design will remain virtually unchanged. One of the major changes expected is the introduction of a new camera and a faster processor than the current, possibly the A7.
Apart from this, it has indicated that it may have a fingerprint reader
on the start button, which would give an extra layer of security.
Some people suggest that Apple has dismissed an iPhone 5S and is already working on the iPhone 6. Coming from the block, everything is possible, so the best we can do for now is wait a couple of months to see what happens.
