HP EliteBook Revolve G2
Posted in: Today's Chili
HP launched the EliteBook Revolve G1 hybrid PC last year and today, the company announced its successor, the HP EliteBook Revolve G2. The second generation features the exact same chassis and gets a hardware update with the 4th generation of Intel Core i3/i5/i7 ULT processors. The new features include an improved pen experience with an improved palm rejection technology. The hand writing solution is provided by Atmel.
Since it is the same chassis, according to HP, we assume that it will feature a 11.6” HD touch display, a 720p HD camera, dual-microphone array, DTS Studio Sound, durable, scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 2 as well,and a 256 GB SSD (we did not get the specifications). The Revolve G2 comes with an optional 4G LTE connectivity features, the previous model was 3G enabled.
The HP EliteBook Revolve G2 will be available late in December for a starting price of $1,364.

Qualcomm has just announced that it is introducing a line of Internet Processor (IPQ, the Q stands for Qualcomm) that will provide higher performance for connected devices like routers and other Internet appliances that may need to handle high data throughput. When we discussed with Todd Antes from Qualcomm-Atheros, he said that in Qualcomm’s own estimations, a number of Internet devices were limited by their network processing power, instead of their maximum theoretical bandwidth. With these IPQ chips, Qualcomm’s customers should be able to provide faster products. 
NETGEAR has just announced the ReadyNAS 716, a powerful Network Attached Storage (NAS) system for business usage that NETGEAR says is powerful enough to serve 150 concurrent 1080p video streams… if your network can support it. To achieve this level of performance, NETGEAR has tapped into a powerful Xeon (Ivy Bridge) E3-1225v2 quad-core CPU from Intel which runs at 3.2GHz and is couple with 16GB of RAM (ECC memory). More importantly, NETGEAR has chosen to connect via a 10Gb Ethernet protocol, and even features two Ethernet ports on this NAS, in case one of them fails for some reason (and no, you cannot aggregate the bandwidth of both ports).

Lenovo just announced two new Android Tablets (4.2.2), called Yoga Tablet 10 and Yoga Tablet 8. They are very affordable tablets ($249 and $299) designed around large battery capacities of 6000mAh and 9000mAh (for reference the iPad 4 had around 11000mAh, and the Nexus 7 2013 has 3950mAh), thanks to their very particular design. The battery is housed into the circular section at the top of the display, which allows Lenovo to use standard cylindrical batteries instead of custom flat ones which are much more expensive. Lenovo then sought to make the best use of that volume by turning it into a stand and an effective grip. That’s also where the very large (and easy to find) Power button is.
It didn’t take long: the iPad Air has just launched and you can be sure that a tsunami of accessories are coming out. Among them, the keyboards and covers are extremely coveted by users to be productive but also to protect the iPad’s aluminum from potential scratches and other dangers that lurk in bags and backpacks. Logitech is covering this market quite extensively with no less than four new products, three of which integrate a keyboard: the FabricSkin Keyboard Folio, Ultrathin Keyboard Cover, Ultrathin Keyboard Folio and Folio Protective Case.
