By Chris Davies on Sunday, Oct 25th 2009 1 Comment

French MID/UMPC manufacturer eviGroup have released a few preliminary images of their upcoming Pad touchscreen tablet, and while we’re far from making up our minds about the Windows 7 slate yet, it’s looking reasonably attractive in a “digital pictureframe” sort of way. The eviGroup Pad has a 10.2-inch 1024 x 600 resistive touchscreen, WiFi a/b/g and integrated 3G, and bundles a new “AI UI” called Seline which promises less pecking with a finger or stylus and more straightforward access to data.

Now, October 22nd 2009, Microsoft have officially launched Windows 7, along with a number of partnerships integrating the OS with CBS, Netflix, Amazon and more.

Dell’s latest all-in-one is yet to show up on the company’s US pages, with Japan sneaking a lead, but we expect the Windows 7 desktop to make its North American appearance in short order. The Dell Inspiron One 19 lacks any sort of fancy multitouch support for the new OS, but does squeeze in a choice of 2.6GHz or 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors, up to 4GB of RAM, up to 500GB storage and a DVD burner, all hiding behind an 18.5-inch 1366 x 768 LCD display.

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Oct 22nd 2009 No Comments

Looks like Dell’s SX2200T won’t have the whole multitouch monitor playground to itself. HP have announced a new, Windows 7 compatible touchscreen display, the HP Compaq L2105tm, a Full HD 1920 x 1080 LCD with an optical touchscreen supporting one- and two-finger control. There’s also, for those old-school moments, a plastic stylus hidden in a nook round back.

Lenovo adds Windows 7 to ThinkPad SL410 and SL510 notebooks

By Shane McGlaun on Wednesday, Oct 21st 2009 No Comments

Lenovo is known for making some robust notebooks that perform well but have zero sex appeal. The machines have looked basically the same since IBM owned the ThinkPad brand. Today Lenovo announced that it has added Windows 7 to a couple new machines called the SL410 and the SL510. The notebooks hit overseas already, but today is the official U.S. coming out.
