In addition to being used as a digital entertainment center, the 3 Series can also be used as a full featured private cloud storage server that is able to safely store all of the users’ ever-expanding digital multimedia content.

 

ADM 2.0

ADM (ASUSTOR Data Master) is an operating system designed exclusively for use with all ASUSTOR NAS devices. Different from traditional NAS operating systems, ADM was designed using an App-based concept that provides a user experience closely resembling the simplicity that can be found on most tablet computers. It features an elegant web-based user interface that is intuitive and easy to use, bridging the gap between user and machine. ADM provides users with a bevy of convenient features such as Dr. ASUSTOR which performs health checkups on the NAS, automatic firmware updates, and Cloud Connect technology which allows users easily connect their NAS to the internet, creating their own personal cloud.

 

Newly updated version includes:

  • Fresh new interface: Now more user-friendly than ever, the updated user interface features support for the uploading of custom background images, the all new “My Favorites” function and dramatically increased browsing speed.
  • Searchlight: An industry first, Searchlight allows users to quickly find files, folders and applications on the NAS and also provides support for fuzzy searches.
  • FTP Explorer: A built-in FTP client that allows the NAS to directly browse files from any FTP sites and also featuring support for drag and drop file transfers.
  • SoundsGood: A Web music player that allows users to stream the music from their NAS through a Web browser. SoundsGood also allows an ASUSTOR NAS to be turned into a digital audio player with thousands of songs after directly connecting the NAS to an amplifier or DAC/USB speakers.
  • Photo Gallery: Allows users to set up their own personal web photo album in just one easy step, helping users share their lives with family and friends.

 

Newly Added Mobile Apps (Supports iOS and Android Mobile Devices)

AiData: Users can use AiData to remotely browse and access all files on their NAS. AiData can also be used to instantly upload photos and share files from the NAS. Integration with popular cloud storage service, Dropbox, allows users to use AiData to seamlessly integrate their NAS with Dropbox.

AiMaster: Users can use AiMaster to manage their NAS from the convenience of their mobile devices. AiMaster allows users to change settings, monitor their system, receive instant notifications on system status via push notification and more.

NEC announces LaVie L laptop, touts Haswell internals

NECs LaVie L announced with Haswell internals, lust for earlyadopter cash

The only phrase that’s guaranteed to put a smile on a laptop lover’s face is “fourth-generation Intel core,” which is why we’re beaming at NEC’s LaVie L. The company has announced details of its first Haswellpowered laptop well ahead of Intel’s June press event — a tease for those with early-adopter bloodlust. The unit will come with a 15.6-inch touchscreen, 8GB of RAM, 802.11.ac WiFi, a BDXL drive and a hybrid SSD. While there aren’t any firm details on pricing or availability, we’d expect to see firmer details at this year’s Computex.

ASUS Teases Transformer Announcement For Computex

The ASUS Transformer series of Android tablets probably has to be one of the most successful Android tablet lines so far, at least until Amazon and Google came in with their $199 offerings, but if you wanted a powerful tablet […]

ASUS Transformer tablet teased for Computex 2013

ASUS posted up a video on YouTube that gives us a tease at what to expect from the company at Computex 2013 this year. The video mostly highlights what the company is all about, and they show off some of their products in the video as well, with a few interesting glances at mysterious products that we haven’t seen before.

Screen Shot 2013-05-09 at 5.07.44 PM

Based on how many times they use the word “transform” in the video, we can only assume that ASUS will unveil a new Transformer tablet at Computex coming up next month, and based on the teaser video, it looks to be a smaller form factor tablet of sorts with a stylus that comes with it — tucked in on the bottom-right corner as the screenshot above suggests. It could be one of the 7-inch tablets running Windows 8 that has been recently rumored.

According to the video description, ASUS says that they will be announcing new products “that reimagine the way you interact with desktop PCs, notebooks, smartphones, tablets and more.” We’re not sure if ASUS would announce a product for everyone of these categories, but it’s possible that we’ll see new devices that blend some of these form factors together.

ASUS will be holding a press conference on June 3 for Computex 2013, where the company will officially unveil what they’ve been working on, and based on their cute little countdown that they have posted on their events webpage, that’s only 24 days away at the time of this writing.

ASUS ‘We Transform’ Computex teaser leaves us waiting for more teaser videos

ASUS 'We Transform' Computex video lets us know we can expect more teaser videos

Just like last year, ASUS is filling time before the Computex trade show by posting teaser trailers. Sporting a “We Transform” tag, its first one for 2013 features the spun metal casings, touchscreen laptops, convertibles, tablets and phones we’ve become accustomed to from the company. So what’s next? The video doesn’t appear to provide any hints — other than an oddly blacked-out tablet with stylus about 30 seconds in — however the press page linked below includes a countdown to ASUS’ press conference June 3rd, and blank spaces for four more videos to come. We’ll keep an eye out for anything else that fills in the blanks (US release info for the Transformer Book would do the trick), check the video after the break to “transform your expectations of technology.”

Intel confirms 4th gen ‘Haswell’ processor to appear at Computex

We all knew this was coming, but today it’s now official. The folks from Intel took to their social network channels to tease a countdown to their next Intel Core processors. The 4th generation chip that’s known as ‘Haswell’ that will be powering laptops, ultrabooks and hybrid portable devices moving forward. That countdown ends this summer on June 3rd.

Screen Shot 2013-04-26 at 7.08.24 PM

Posting the image you see above to Twitter, Intel teases that in approximately 3,337,200,000,000,000 nanoseconds Intel will reveal their hotly anticipated 4th gen Intel Core processor to the world. Basically right at the beginning of Computex 2013, where we’ll see loads of Haswell powered hybrid PCs and more.

Haswell hasn’t been much of a secret, and earlier this month we confirmed Intel had already started shipping Haswell to an array of PC manufacturers. Haswell promises to bring a major boost in performance and more importantly battery life over Ivy-bridge for all those ultra-portables.

Around the same time we are also expecting to see Windows Blue show its face, so this years Computex is looking to be a pretty exciting event. We all knew the chip was coming but now all you enthusiasts can circle a time around June 3rd on your calendar and start getting ready for the onslaught of Haswell based systems. We could even see a few Android-based systems too, so stay tuned.
