When Acer launched their Aspire Predator gaming PC range on Wednesday, little did they realise that bit-tech were lurking in the wings waiting to clinically dissect their offerings (and literally dissect what turned out to be an unexpectedly fragile drive-cage door). Acer are apparently aiming the Predator line at the high-street, rather than the more usual “online [...]
Lenovo has released their end-of-year 2007/08 financial results, and shareholders are likely to be pleased. Consolidated sales overall increased by 17-percent over the previous year, to $16.4bn, while shipments of PCs and laptops specifically grew by 22-percent (compared to a 16-percent industry average). Notebooks made up 61-percent of total computing sales in the last quarter, [...]
You know those case-mods where a slick little LCD is fitted into the front, showing status updates or CD cover-art? Imagine how much cooler it would be to fit a whole new computer in, instead. That’s not exactly what Datasound envisage you doing with their new LX800-LCD computer - in fact they’re meant for embedded [...]
According to Acer’s dramatic tagline, their new Predator gaming PC range is “Faster. Deeper. Harder. Further.” The metallic orange desktop certainly catches the eye, though I’m not sure everyone will appreciate the looks (or the mechanical drive bay cover, which reminds me of a trash lorry mechanism); however what will likely impress is the guts of [...]
ASUS aren’t the only manufacturer planning a desktop version of their budget ultraportable; MSI too have been looking at alternative form factors for their Wind notebook. The Wind PC is the result, powered by Intel’s power-thrifty 1.33Ghz Atom (Z250) Silverthorne processor with passive cooling. In this prototype they’re using a standard 3.5-inch hard-drive and desktop DVD [...]
Now building a computer into a desk is, when you think about it, a pretty daft idea. Not only are you saying that you don’t need the flexibility of a laptop, but you’re saying you’ll always be using your PC wherever your desk is. But there’s something about the Art Deco design of [...]
A lot of Penny Arcade fans have been anxious to test out the new Penny Arcade Adventures. It has been known for a while that the game would be on the 360, but what many didn’t realize is that it isn’t the only place the game will work on.
Any S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans might recognize this scene of mayhem as the Chernobly disaster, well one gamer decided to make this intricate model and make it a fully functioning PC as well. The top flips open to show you the innards of the PC.
The original renders of ASUS’ Eee PC desktop version may have looked like a Wii knockoff, but at least it was a slick knockoff; this new picture, purported to be the real thing, shows a far dumpier and more humdrum system. The Eee Box B202, as it’s apparently called, will feature Intel’s Atom processor [...]
I usually love to hear new info on the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed game from Lucasarts. However, today’s news is just disheartening. Turns out that we won’t be seeing this one on the PC at all. Hit the jump for the official word from Lucasarts on the matter.
