Asus U33Jc-A1 Bamboo Review Roundup

notebooks.com Fri 12:41pm by: Carter Sprunger
Staying true to their new bamboo persona, Asus recently released the U33Jc-A1. This bamboo-clad notebook features a classy look with the strong performance to back it up. However, the Asus U33Jc-A1 is not without shortcomings. Graphics performance, as well as a few other features seem to be lacking. Asus U33Jc-A1 Specifications: 13.3-inch LED-backlit displ...
Closer look at the Augen GenTouch78 user interface

Liliputing Fri 12:40pm by: Brad Linder
I’ve had a little more time to play with the Augen GenTouch78 Android tablet, and here’s the deal: It’s a mixed bag. You can check out my hands-on video after the break, but here’s the short version: On the one hand the build quality is pretty decent and the tablet feels good in the hand.

Augen GenTouch78 Hands-On: Android Tablets Reach New Low

LAPTOP Magazine Fri 12:07pm by: K. T. Bradford
Android tablets have hit rock bottom. And we’re not just talking about the low, low price of the Augen GenTouch78. This K-Mart special is just that bad. We got our hands on the 7-inch slate this afternoon, and it didn’t take us long to realize that it’s not worth $149. Perhaps not even $49. The first [...]
iPhone 4 Review Part One: The Phone

notebooks.com Fri 12:00pm by: Kevin Purcell
The iPhone 4 is one of Apple’s most successful devices. The first day preorders crashed AT&T’s system and it is still not easy to find at an Apple or AT&T store, but the question remains. Does the iPhone 4 live up to the hype? In this series of posts I will focus on the iPhone 4’s various uses [...] Related posts:iPhone 4 Recall...

Is the Paperback Era Coming to an End?

GottaBeMobile Fri 10:25am by: Xavier Lanier
Amazon already sells more eBooks than hardcover books and is predicting that it will sell more digital books than paperbacks by the end of next year. That’s a pretty bold prediction, but not all that surprising considering how easy it is to buy books on so many devices. Is 2011 really going to mark the [...]
BoxWave iPad Stylus Takes the Lead in My Inking Testing

GottaBeMobile Fri 10:14am by: Warner Crocker
As I’ve been continuing my reporting on Inking with a stylus on the iPad, I’ve been anxious to check out some newer styli (at least newer to me.) Today I received the BoxWave Apple iPad Capacitive Stylus and I have to say this is the best stylus I’ve tried so far in terms of laying [...]
Is Android Ready for Samsung’s New Tablet?

jkOnTheRun Fri 9:00am by: Kevin C. Tofel
Samsung will introduce a slate device running Google's Android operating system this quarter, but a few key challenges could hold back the 7-inch tablet from widespread success. The hardware might be ready, but the software isn't for at least two reasons. Samsung might want to wait.

LAPTOP Magazine Fri 8:44am by: Tom Briechle
The mythical $150 K-Mart Android tablet has been spotted in the wild, and we finally managed to get our hands on one.

When did Microsoft “make things happen” with Netbooks?

GottaBeMobile Fri 7:04am by: Sumocat
As Warner noted earlier, we’ve gotten more words from Steve Ballmer on tablets running Windows 7, and I agree, they are all just words at this point. The tragic part is, even if you take him at face value, Ballmer didn’t actually promise anything worthwhile. “We have got to make things happen. Just like we had [...]
Porn Industry to Sit on Apple’s FaceTime?

LAPTOP Magazine Fri 6:44am by: TJ Fink
I’ve got to hand it to the porn industry: the people in charge are pretty damn good at keeping their fingers on the pulse of mobile tech (there’s a pun in there, I just know it). Back in the ’70s, the demand for dirty vids helped push VCR sales forward, and the same thing happened [...]

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 Review

Review Acer Aspire 7551G Notebook

Notebookcheck Thu 12:50am
Pure Entertainment. 17 inch display, DirectX 11 capable graphic card, quad-core processor and BluRay drive: Acer has bundled a lavishly configured multimedia at a fair price with the Aspire 7551G-N934G64Bn. We've checked if this offer is too good to be true.
Review Samsung NP-N230 Storm Netbook

Notebookcheck Wed 11:13pm
Ultra-thin. The most surprising thing about this new 10-inch netbook from Samsung is its high price tag of €449 (RRP). Is the price justifiable, for an Atom N450 processor, a matt WSVGA screen and a three/ six cell battery? We examine every inch of this lightweight laptop in our review.

Notebookcheck Tue 9:33pm
Storage Express. This SSD-drive from Verbatim is a rather unusual expansion for the ExpressCard slot; we will put it through its paces if it is in fact fast, compact and easy to use.
