Dell’s Latitude 10 tablet, OptiPlex 9010 all-in-one and Latitude 6430u Ultrabook all available now

Remember last month when Dell announced an all-in-one, Ultrabook and dockable 10-inch tablet, all aimed at enterprise users? Well, they’ve finally gotten some proper prices, and are now up for sale on Dell’s site. Starting with the Latitude 10 Windows 8 tablet, it starts at $650 — about right for a 10-inch, Atom-powered slate with an IPS display and 1,366 x 768 resolution. Other specs include two gigs of RAM, up to 128GB of eMMC NAND storage and, most notably, a swappable 60Wh battery. On the tablet itself, you’ve got a USB 2.0 port, a micro-USB socket for charging, mini-HDMI, a headphone port, micro-SIM slot and a full-size SD reader. The dock adds four USB 2.0 connections, along with Ethernet, HDMI and audio output.

Moving on, the Latitude 6430u Ultrabook has a 14-inch matte display with 1,366 x 768 resolution. As it happens, it’s one of those 14-inch displays crammed into a 13-inch chassis, so the bezels should be pretty narrow. Configuration options include your usual array of Core i3, i5 and i7 processors (vPro optional), with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of solid-state storage. Prices start at $900. Lastly, in case you missed it last month, the OptiPlex 9010 is a 23-inch all-in-one desktop with 1080p resolution and vPro-equipped processors. Design-wise, it’s identical to a model Dell announced earlier this year, only now it runs Windows 8, not 7. That starts at $1,200.

Twitter tests out new “Like” or “Star” buttons

Posted in: Today's Chili

When it comes to social networks, there are many different options available to the masses. Twitter, the micro blogging site as some like to call it, has introduced a couple of new buttons such as “Like” and “Star” for you to express your current status to the rest of the world. Of course, as at press time, there are a slew of other buttons in the “market” to so speak such as +1, favorite, like, reblog, retweet, repost, share, the list goes on.

The Next Web’s Matthew Panzarino did share that some Twitter users have already reported checking out “Like” or “Star” which has replaced where the “Favorite” button used to be on the Twitter website. No idea on whether the new labels will be there permanently or not, doing away with the “Favorite” button, or if Twitter is merely testing out how their huge userbase will react to such a minor language tweak. What do you think of the new buttons?

Meanwhile, the TP713 (pictured) is a Magic Trackpad-style touchpad designed to support Windows 8 gestures, such as swiping in from the left to toggle through applications. Both are up on Dell’s site now, with the monitor priced at $650 and the trackpad going for $70. Both are expected to begin shipping this week.

Sony teases 4K CineAlta camcorder for October 30 event

Posted in: Today's Chili

Yesterday, Sony teased us with one of their new upcoming camcorders that will be able to shoot in 4K, and they’re unveiling it on October 30. The company posted a teaser on their Facebook page that shows us a photo of the new 4K camcorder (albeit dimmed, so you can only see the logo), as well as a little bit of information about what the new camcorder will be able to do.

Come October 30, we should be getting some more information about this new addition to Sony’s CineAlta range of professional camcorders that will be called “TheNewF” according to the teaser. It also gives away some features of the upcoming camcorder like 4K shooting capability, high frame rates, 4:2:2 color space, and a 50Mbps data rate.

4K also goes by “Ultra HD” and boasts a resolution of 4000×3000, which is the typical resolution of photos from most point-and-shoot cameras. The technology is gaining ground, but it still has a long way to go before it becomes practical. The resolution is still way too powerful for general broadcasting, and it requires specialized cameras that are just beginning to find their way into the marketplace.

However, depending on what the final product ends up being, “TheNewF” may just be a camcorder that takes a big step forward with 4K, and hopefully Sony’s commitment to 4K will result in more practical applications for the technology in the not-so-distant future. However, we’ll have to wait and see what the company has in store at the end of the month before jumping to conclusions.

Dell unveils Inspiron 15z Ultrabook with optional touchscreen, prices start at $750

Posted in: Today's Chili

In case Dell’s convertible XPS 12 is too expensive (or weird-looking) for your tastes, the company’s got a more traditional sort of Ultrabook on tap. The company just announced the Inspiron 15z, a 15-inch notebook with an optional touchscreen. As you can see in our hands-on shots below, it’s essentially the same plastic-and-metal design as earlier Inspiron Ultrabooks, though that touchscreen is of course new. At “less than an inch thick” it’s still chunkier than your typical ultraportable, but if you insist on having a DVD burner, this could be a tempting choice. Plus, at 4.12 pounds, it’s reasonably light for a machine with this large a footprint.

It’s already up for sale on Dell’s site, starting at $750 with a Core i3 processor, 6GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive paired with a 32GB SSD. Touch-enabled versions start at $900. So far as we can tell, the memory and hard drive stay pretty consistent as you move up in configurations, though you can opt for a Core i5 or i7 CPU. The highest-end confg also steps up from integrated graphics to a 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT630M GPU. Curious? We’ve got hands-on pics below, with more details at the source link.
