Tablets finally undercutting $500 iPad, but will it matter?

Chris Burns, Oct 10th 2011 Discuss [17]

As you already may well know, the iPad is not a tablet PC, it is an iPad. Thus is the brilliance of the brand-masters at Apple and thus is massive success the iPad has seen so far. What we’ve been seeing over the past few months is a welcome change on the part of many manufacturers and carriers trying to sell their tablet computers in the face of a very much iPad-saturated market: price cuts. A whole heck of a lot of price cuts, in fact, with everyone from HTC to Lenovo cutting tablet prices on carriers and in big time tablet-pushing stores like Best Buy.

Lenovo ThinkVision LT1421 14-inch Mobile Monitor Hands-on [Video]

Chris Burns, Sep 15th 2011 Discuss [2]

This week at Pepcom’s Holiday Spectacular 2011 in New York City, we were shown an odd new device by Lenovo. This device was (and is) the ThinkVision LT1421 14-inch Mobile Monitor. It’s a bland name, but I assure you, the concept is certainly there. This monitor was announced a few weeks ago in sort of a silent matter, but here we’ve got it out in the open and ready to be used by our hands and our eyes, and all of it courtesy of Lenovo Brand Ambassador Stephen Miller, a fellow you’ll likely see in several Lenovo videos at conventions and presentations galore. He knows his Lenovo, and he was glad to show off this neat new device for us in a video here in this post.

Wary Ultrabook vendors dip toes with tiny stock orders

Chris Davies, Sep 6th 2011 Discuss [0]

Ultrabooks weren't in short supply at IFA 2011 last week - Toshiba, Acer and Lenovo all brought their new models to the show - but while publicly each is gung-ho about the segment, on the production line it's a far more tentative story. Each intends to produce less than 50,000 ultrabook units initially, DigiTimes' sources claim, predicting lackluster demand in Q4. Read The Full Story

Lenovo IdeaPad U300S Hands-On [Video]

Chris Burns, Sep 1st 2011 Discuss [15]

What we’re getting a look at with a full hands-on demo here at IFA 2011 this week, amongst other fantastical devices from all walks of life of course, is the IdeaPad U300S, a Lenovo Ultrabook, being both ultra-small and ultra-powerful with aesthetically beautiful chassis all around. On the right side of the device you’ll find a headphone jack, USB jack, full-sized HDMI port, and power port. On the left side you’ll see one more USB port and a grille through which Intel Advanced Cooling Technology will be blowing a lot of your hot air. This system works with the side opening there, a long grille along the rear hinge, and through the keyboard itself to help avoid the “hot lap” syndrome normally associated with laptops of such awesome power as this.
