ASUS introduced an updated Transformer Pad Infinity this past June which would come with a 2560 x 1600 display and a 1.9GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor. The new Transformer Pad Infinity has been left out of the limelight ever since it was introduced, but it looks like a new ASUS tablet has just shown up at the FCC that leads us to believe this is the company’s recently announced tablet.

Google often takes its time bringing its Nexus variety of tablets and smartphones across the Pacific, but it’s getting faster. Today, it announced that the refreshed Nexus 7 (with a new 1,900 x 1,200 resolution screen and 5MP camera) will land in Japan on Wednesday 28th August. The 16GB model is priced up at 27,800 yen, while double the storage will cost 33,800 yen.
For Japanese readers hoping for that LTE model, there’s news on that front too. It’ll arrive SIM-unlocked in the middle of September, the 32GB LTE model will cost just shy of 40,000 yen, notably off-contract — Google says it’ll work on all three of Japan’s major carriers (DoCoMo, Softbank and KDDI’s au). Barring the original 7-inch tablet, Nexus models have typically been in short supply in Japan; the Nexus 4 is yet to visit the Land of the Rising Sun.

With the success of tablets like the Google Nexus 7 seeing a second generation here in 2013, it would appear that the pressure is on for not just processor manufacturers but display panel makers to optimize their lower-end. With the creation of NVIDIA’s Kai strategy was laid the tracks for the miniature freight train that […]

While it’s been reported that we won’t be seeing the new Thunderbolt standard until next year, ASUS has already announced what we believe is the very first product to sport the faster 20Gbps Thunderbolt 2 standard. It’s called the Z87-Deluxe/Quad motherboard, and it takes two 10Gbps Thunderbolt ports and mashes it into one bi-directional 20Gbps […]
The ink is still fresh on Intel’s formal blessing of Thunderbolt 2, and as promised, there’s already a product on the market from perennial early bird ASUS. The Z87-Deluxe/Quad ATX is the first motherboard to pack the tech, which combines four of the original 10Gbps Thunderbolt channels into two bi-directional 20Gbps ports. That’s four times the speed of USB 3.0 if you’re keeping score at home, allowing two 4K displays to be driven at once, or faster-than-SATA-6 SSD speeds, for instance. Otherwise, it’s as well-equipped as you’d expect from a bleeding edge mainboard, with 4th-gen Intel (Haswell) CPU support, 10 SATA-6 ports, 8 USB 3.0 ports, and 3 PCIe 3.0/2.0 x 16 slots. There’s no pricing or availability yet, though Thunderbolt-equipped motherboards tend to be expensive. Still, if you wear the “early adopter” name-tag with pride, hit the PR after the break.
