It's not just desktops that get NVIDIA's new Kepler 28nm GPU in the shape of the GeForce GTX 680; notebooks can also get a shot of that extra graphics grunt, courtesy of the new GT 600M family. NVIDIA's new range of laptop GPUs will debut in the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3, with a seven-strong range of chips promising anything from 48 to 384 CUDA cores, up to 64 GB/sec memory bandwidth, and double the gaming frame-rates of last year's GT 520M-based notebooks.

Ultrabooks to drop as low as $499 in 2013 tips Acer

, Mar 7th 2012 Discuss [0]

Apparently, Acer Global President Jianren Weng said late last year that ultrabooks were expected to drop to as low as $499 in 2013. Ironically, Acer's Christoph Pohlmann from the firm's laptop team has previously stated that $799 for the Aspire S3 is priced too low for the company to actually make a profit. A price cut to $499 by next year seems to be a tall order. Read The Full Story

, Mar 2nd 2012 Discuss [0]

There’s no denying that switching from any other version of a Windows operating system to Microsoft’s new Windows 8 is a big jump in its user experience. What’s not quite as clear from the outset, if you’ve never used the operating system in person that is, is that this operating system makes the entire computing experience as entertaining as it was when the iPad was first released.

Happy Thursday everyone. We've been tracking a lot of news today. It's almost like we're as busy as Barack Obama on his re-election campaign schedule. Hey, have you ever wondered what a president listens to while he's hopping from campaign stop to campaign stop? In case you have, Obama has posted his "campaign playlist" on Spotify.

Acer Aspire S3 (Core i7) Review

, Feb 9th 2012 Discuss [0]

The Ultrabook world is continuing its rise to glory as the Acer Aspire S3 (here with the Core i7 processer inside) runs the thin show at .68 inches at its thickest point. This is by no means the thinnest notebook on earth, nor is it the Ultrabook with the most impressive set of specifications, but this relatively basic (if any Ultrabook is basic) model has a stack of features and a full package that will satisfy any general use owner. This notebook has a 13.3-inch Active Matrix TFT display at 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, CineCrystal (glossy) and clear as day coupled with Intel HD Graphics 3000 and Dolby Home Theater v4 audio enhancement on built-in stereo speakers – that means good entertainment.
