Hasta La Gadget!

Those who have ventured into an Apple Store know how challenging it can be to navigate through as there are usually a ton of products on several tables available at the entrance, making the process of buying a new Lightning charging cable difficult to carry out on your own. You could actually talk to an Apple Store employee, but Apple knows how much we all hate any form of human interaction, so they are implementing a new service that will help guide shoppers through their store.  (more…)

Microsoft’s Scroogled campaign is fast gaining notoriety for poking fun at Google and their products, with the previous Scroogled campaign criticizing Google’s Chromebooks for essentially being worthless due to its inability to perform without an internet connection. Now Microsoft is back with another Scroogled video, and it looks like Microsoft is not done slamming the Chromebook just yet. Taking to Venice Beach, Ben the PC Guy went around the area asking passerby’s what they thought of the Chromebook, especially when it could not function without internet, and recording the reactions of the public in the process.

While it is true that Chromebook does rely on the internet for a lot of its functions, Google has recently introduced several offline features, such as for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and Docs just to name a few. For those who are looking to use Chromebooks as a productivity tool and might not necessarily have access to stable internet, those offline features should be more than enough to get the job done, but obviously for those who want the full experience, we suppose that’s the trade-off. Could it be that Microsoft sees Google and the Chromebook as a threat? Like we said if you’re after simple productivity, Chromebooks priced at $299 are hard to ignore.

In this day and age, the total amount of information that we have in our slew of devices can add up to staggering values, so much so that it is virtually impossible to keep track of it all after a while. You would need plenty of discipline as well as enough resources and physical space to start cataloging those 1TB hard drives by the computer. Well, cheap and feature rich storage devices are always in demand, so you might want to check out the Thecus N2310 NAS that has just arrived in the US as part of your potential purchases.

Just what kind of goodies will the Thecus N2310 NAS bring to the table? For starters, it will come with a gigabit Ethernet port, a single USB 2.0 port, and of course, just to keep up with the rest of the times, one USB 3.0 port to go. Needless to say, those would be the kind of features that we would have expected it to arrive right out of the box, including a built-in BitTorrent client and RAID support. One good thing about the Thecus N2310 NAS would be its energy efficiency, where Thecus claims it will sip a mere 5W of power. If you were to translate it to the total amount of electricity that you had to pay for it, it would cost a mere $5.03 annually on average to run it at home. $170 certainly sounds like an absolute bargain for the Thecus N2310 NAS.

Acer has recently unveiled their C720P, the company’s latest Chromebook which features a touchscreen display. However if a Chromebook wasn’t what you were after and you were looking for something for your desktop, Acer has announced the Acer Aspire Z3-600 all-in-one desktop system.  It will be priced starting at $779 and is expected to be made available for purchase in the US later this month, although Acer did not mention any specific dates, so we guess we will just have to keep an eye out for it.

So what can you expect for your money? Well the Acer Z3-600 will feature a 21.5” Full HD touchscreen display that will support the ability for users to perform handwriting on the display if they choose.
