Transformer Pad TF300TL LTE tablet revealed with Tegra 3
It appears that the quad-core ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TL tablet will be hitting Germany and Austria later this month, complete with support for 4G LTE. German site TechFokus reports that a press release gives the TF300TL a middle of August release for both countries, so it won't be much longer before it launches in at least some parts of the world. At the moment, it's still unknown when it will arrive in the United States, or any other countries for that matter.

Lenovo IdeaPad U410 (Intel Core i5, Ivy Bridge) Review
Lenovo has launched its latest line of IdeaPads, and they’re targeted directly at the mainstream consumer. The Lenovo IdeaPad U410 comes with an eye-catching colored aluminum chassis – we received one in Sapphire Blue, but the U410 is also available in Graphite Grey and Ruby Red – but is this laptop all about looks, or does it have the power under the hood to still get stuff done? Read on to find out.
Wikipad 10-inch Jelly Bean tablet shows gaming promise
It's time for a brand new tablet to show its massive face with the company that shares its name: Wikipad. This device was shown briefly earlier this year in a 7-inch iteration that didn't look especially unique without its utterly strange add-on controller - now it's being re-revealed with a 10-inch display, NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Xbox 720 Durango dev kit sale gives early taste of next-gen console
A Microsoft Durango developer kit reportedly emerged on a developper forum over the weekend, commanding a sale price of $10,000. The kit, which is said to feature an Intel CPU, NVIDIA GPU, and “more than 8GB of memory”, is used for Xbox 720 development. The fact that the kit looked like a plain black PC tower running a regular debug launcher led many to believe it was nothing more than a hoax, but Digital Foundry decided to reach out to several sources and developers, discovering that the kit was in fact the real deal.

Steam hardware survey sees rise in lower-end PCs
You would think that, as time goes on, more and more Steam users would be adopting better hardware for their PCs. The Steam hardware survey for June 2012 tells us that may not necessarily be the case, as the company actually saw an increase in lower-end PC use over past hardware surveys. Take, for instance, the number of computers that use Intel Integrated Graphics - while NVIDIA and ATI GPUs are still by far the most common, in June Steam saw the use of Intel Integrated Graphics rise to 11%.

SlashGear Android App of the Week: Auralux with Tegra-exclusive expansion
The NVIDIA TegraZone has brought on many next-level shooters, racing games, and graphic-heavy beasts that show the power of Tegra processors plainly – with Auralux, it’s not quite so simple to see. What you’ve got here developed by Wardrum Studios is not a shooting game with rippling puddles of blood, nor is it a water shooting game where you put out realistic looking fires – instead its the most minimalistic vision of what Warcraft addicts fell in love with back in the 1990s with strategy and troop controls, but this time it’s in space. And it’s fought with bubbles.
OUYA Kickstarter blasts past $5m mark
This week the Kickstarter phenomenon known as OUYA has reached $5 million dollars pledged for their Android-based gaming console with 22 days left to go. This amount of cash for a project such as this is fantastic on its own, but given the group’s $950,000 goal at the start of the project, it’s become a whole new animal since it started less than a month ago. With more than 5 times their original seed money request, it’s time for the developers and engineers behind the project to seriously reconsider their futures in their respective fields – things are looking up!

Today's update includes their first meeting with NVIDIA on how the quad-core Tegra 3 processor plays into this whole fabulous situation.

Video Games drag us kicking and screaming into the mobile future
Earlier today, Verizon and GameTanium released info on their new game subscription service for mobile devices, this once again proving that the world is still, despite all other greatnesses, unable to reconcile with the high cost of smartphones and tablets. We’re in a place right now where it’s actually quite normal, at least across the USA, for a person to own a mobile device that has access to the internet. What isn’t normal is the idea that a person would own one of these magical tiny computers without a little bit of some video game action embedded within.
