Gigabyte announces support for Intel Collage in Z77 dual thunderbolt motherboards, invites you to make a DIY 4K display

Running a PC with a Gigabyte motherboard, dual Thunderbolt ports and four monitors? You might want to consider revising that NVIDIA Surround setup into makeshift 4k display. Gigabyte has announced that it will soon be issuing updates for its Z77 motherboards to include support for Intel Collage technology, allowing users to split a 4k video signal between four HD monitors. Not a bad trick, considering the cost of native 4K displays. Intel’s Collage feature is available to any manufacturer interested in implementing it, but Gigabyte is proud to be the first out of the door. All you have to worry about is training yourself to ignore that unsightly monitor bezel.

Gigabyte U2142 And U2442F Ultrabooks Unveiled At CES 2013

u2142 Gigabyte U2142 And U2442F Ultrabooks Unveiled At CES 2013

[CES 2013] Ultrabooks have no doubt gained a lot of traction in the past year or so, and if you’re in the market for a new Ultrabook, Gigabyte has announced the U2142 and U2442F Ultrabooks, with the former offering a hybrid setup, while the latter emphasizes more on performance. Kicking things off with the U2142, this Ultrabook will sport a swivel hinge which allows it to double up as a tablet or an Ultrabook depending on your needs. It comes in SSD or HDD options (up to 256GB mSATA SSD or 1TB HDD) and according to Gigabyte, measures a mere 20mm thin. It will sport a 3rd gen Intel Core processor, full I/O ports with Windows 8 running the show. (more…)

Gigabyte Unveils S1082 And S1185 Windows 8 Tablets

s1185 Gigabyte Unveils S1082 And S1185 Windows 8 Tablets[CES 2013] If you’re interested in picking up a new Windows 8 tablet, Gigabyte has announced two new tablets at CES 2013 – the S1185 designed for the average Joe, and the S1082 which has been designed for the not-so-average Joe, or rather the more business minded user. Starting with the S1185: this Windows 8 tablet will be powered by a 3rd generation Intel Core processor with a Full HD IPS display, with Gigabyte claiming that this tablet will deliver “ultimate performance” and a “wonderful user experience”. It will feature standard VGA and HDMI ports, a magnetically attached keyboard kit, Gigabyte mouse options, Optical Finger Navigation for PC mode usage, and dual cameras.

Next up is the S1082 which Gigabyte claims is perfect for productivity. The S1082 will be more or less the same as the S1185, with the main difference being that it will come with cellular connectivity so you don’t have to rely on WiFi all the time. It will also come in either a 500GB HDD version that will allow you to store more files, or an SSD version that will offer a “speedy user experience”. No word on pricing or availability just yet, but with all the Windows 8 competition going around, will Gigabyte be able to make a dent?

Gigabyte arrives at CES with two Windows 8 tablets, including an 11.6-inch S1185 with 1080p and Ivy Bridge

Gigabyte arrives at CES with two Windows 8 tablets, including 116inch S1185 with 1080p and Ivy Bridge

Who’s afraid of the Windows 8 tablet crush? Not Gigabyte. According to Mobile Geeks, the company has brought a couple of new tablets to Las Vegas — the S1185 for regular customers and the businessy S1082 — in the expectation that they’ll make a dent despite intense competition. The more interesting S1185 has a few things going for it, including a 1080p 11.6-inch display, a powerful Ivy Bridge processor (which could admittedly make battery life an issue), a magnetic add-on and ‘optical finger navigation’ — something we’ll investigate further when it comes to hands-on time. Meanwhile, the S1082 follows a similar format but adds cellular connectivity and the option of a 500GB HDD instead of a smaller SSD. That’s all we know for now, but we’ll try to track these slates down on the show floor shortly.

Gigabyte X11 review: slim and powerful but not without flaws

Gigabyte X11 review slim and powerful but not without flaws

Gigabyte was certainly feeling brave when it unveiled the £857, 11.6-inch X11 Ultrabook earlier this year. Appearing shortly before the arrival of Windows 8, it straddles two OS life cycles, with a feature set that’s more faithful to Windows 7 than to the touch-centric future. Still, with a Core i5 Ivy Bridge CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD, the current holder of the “world’s thinnest Ultrabook” title is specced to compete — and, as you’d imagine, this is a fast and powerful little machine. But has Gigabyte sacrificed compelling features to achieve the X11’s extra-skinny frame? Join us after the break to learn if this unit, only available outside US, is worth the import fees.

Gigabyte’s U2142 is an 11-inch Windows 8 convertible with a lot to prove

Gigabyte's U2142 is a 12inch Windows 8 touchscreen hybrid with a lot to prove

That recent update on Surface Pro give you jitters? Yeah, us too, which is why we fully expect x86 nomads will be looking afresh at the heavier, more established classes of Windows 8 hybrids and convertibles. Gigabyte’s latest entry into that crowded arena has just swung by the FCC, raising the likelihood of US availability while also showing off its 11.6-inch, 1,366 x 768 pivoting touchscreen wedded to a 21mm-thick (0.8-inch) chassis with a chiclet keyboard and large touchpad. The U2142 is built to contain a third-gen Intel Core i3 or i5 processor with integrated graphics, alongside up to 256GB of mSATA flash storage and 1TB-worth of HDD — a double helping that brings its weight to 1.5kg (that’s 3.3 pounds, or 50 percent heavier than MSI’s 11.6-inch slider). CNET Asia got an early hands-in October and learned that the convertible might retail for around $999, although it’s not clear what specs would come for that price, and it’s also worth bearing in mind that Gigabyte has yet to garner much of a reputation for build quality — even if that central hinge does look like something off an anti-aircraft gun.
