Looks like Wacom’s Cintiq is getting some competition. Princeton’s PTB-TMW19B might not have a slick name, but the 19-inch widescreen WXGA+ panel does have pen input with 1024 degrees of pressure recognised. Neatly designed, there’s minimal bezel and a clever twist-to-lock adjustable hinge.
HP has obviously been keeping its notebook division busy, as today they’ve announced sixteen new models that span the consumer and business ranges. Those shown here are those intended for personal use, in the shape of the Pavilion dv4, dv5 and dv7 Entertainment notebooks, the Pavilion tx2500 Tablet PC, and the Presario CQ40, CQ45 and CQ50 [...]
Over the weekend a whole shed-load of new Lenovo notebook information turned up, including details of upcoming X200, SL, T, and R series machines. The leaked slides give preliminary specs for numerous new models, of which the X200 - which is set to replace the X61 - is perhaps the most interesting. Full run-down after the [...]
Not much information on this, yet, but according to early reports this is a dual-touchscreen notebook prototype from ASUS. Buried in among the Eees and projector-sporting laptops at Computex 2008, the device uses two MultiTouch-capable LCD panels, with the lower display used for a QWERTY keyboard and touchpad. The concept is similar, in fact, to OLPC’s XO-2.
Gigabyte’s UMPC, the M704, may not have exactly wowed reviewers, bu the company is sending in touchscreen reinforcements in the shape of the M912. While at first glance it might look like a full-sized convertible tablet, a glance at the spec list reveals that it actually has an 8.9-inch WXGA display, putting it firmly among [...]
Remember the Gigabyte M704? Billed as the smallest 7-inch 1024 × 600 UMPC on the market, we briefly spent some time with the 780g device at CEBIT 2008 and came away, if not madly impressed, then at least still curious. Now Mobile01 have unboxed and reviewed the M704 - complete with its modular GPS and DVB-T accessories, [...]
ASUS’s Australian division has confirmed that the company is working on a touchscreen slate-style version of the Eee. Asked whether a non-clamshell, touchscreen-based Eee was a possibility, ASUS Australia national retail manager, Emmanuele Silanesu, confirmed that the budget ultraportable team was “obviously looking at other form factors rather than just a clamshell” and that one [...]
ASUS continued their assault on the budget computing market this week, with the Eee PC 900 finally launching in the US while its Intel Atom powered sibling the PC 901 broke cover. We also saw a live photo of the Eee Box B202, a desktop version. It looks as though the rumors of a separate [...]
One of the first Intel Atom powered Mobile Internet Devices, the Aigo MID, has reached the hands of reviewers, and first impressions look good. Basically the same unit as Gigabyte’s M528, it packs a 500MHz Z500 processor and runs a Linux-based OS with the Midinux 2.0 GUI. In fact the guys at UMPCFever pay the Aigo [...]
Just because the chips are in short supply, doesn’t mean the manufacturers aren’t insisting on using them. Fujitsu’s U810 UMPC is the latest recipient of Intel’s Atom processor, together with an altered casing, keyboard and name. Now under the moniker U2010, the keyboard has six rows compared to the U810’s five, and there’s built-in 3.5G [...]
