ASUS has just announced the X102BA, a new ultraportable that features a compact and lightweight design that lends itself well to any situation or location. But make no mistake, this laptop packs just enough power to make it not only useful for productivity but even for some gaming and entertainment as well. The X102BA features […]
Going for a toughness both inside and outside, ASUS has unveiled two new ultrabook flagships from its Zenbook line, the Zenbook UX301 and the Zenbook UX302. Both devices sport lids layered with Gorilla Glass 3 that not only gives it a high-gloss look but also protects it from the wear and tear of everyday use. […]
Touchscreens and Windows 8 go together, Microsoft keeps insisting, and it looks like at least Toshiba is listening: the company has a pair of new notebooks, the Satellite W30t and “Click” W30Dt, with detachable screen sections for standalone slate use. Running Windows 8.1 on a 13.3-inch HD IPS touchscreen with 10-finger multitouch, the Satellite W30t […]
Toshiba has something lined up for the masses with their latest Toshiba Satellite NB15T laptop, where this particular device has been described to offer portable convenience in a ‘clutchsized’ design, and even better is the fact that you do not need to break the bank to bring home this puppy, considering it arrives with a starting price point of just $379 a pop. The Toshiba Satellite NB15T would sport an 11.6” touch-enabled display that has been specially optimized for Windows 8, and it will run on the latest Intel Celeron N2810 dual-core processor, accompanied by 500GB of storage space – all without weighing you down with a 3.3 pound weight.
Other hardware specifications of the Toshiba Satellite NB15T laptop include essentials that the modern day road warrior or student is unable to live without, including 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity, Ethernet, USB 3.0 and HDMI ports, and an HD webcam. The included stereo speakers would arrive enhanced with DTS audio so that it delivers rich, natural sound for music, movies and games. The Toshiba Satellite NB15T would arrive in a stylish textured silver finish, and you can start to look forward to picking one up from this November onwards. This seems to be the new generation ‘netbook’, or rather, its spiritual successor.

ASUS’ new Zenbook UX301 and second-gen Transformer Book a little too rich for your blood? You’ll be glad to hear that the company has announced what appears to be a more down-to-Earth ultraportable, the X102BA. As suggested in rumors, the laptop is ultimately a rival to Acer’s 11-inch Aspire V5. While the X102BA sports a smaller 10.1-inch touchscreen, it uses the same 1GHz Temash-based AMD processor and should offer both healthy battery life and quicker-than-usual integrated graphics. The base 2GB of RAM and 320GB hard drive won’t impress anyone, but ASUS is sweetening the pot by offering a free copy of Office 2013 Home & Student with every model. The company isn’t providing launch details just yet; still, we wouldn’t be surprised if the X102BA is priced well within the budgets of returning students.

Knowing that people want the best of everything without needing to buy everything, ASUS announced its Transformer Book Trio today at the IFA 2013 show in Berlin. This three-in-one ultraportable device, the world’s first according to ASUS, marries not only the two form factors of a notebook and a tablet, but also combines the top […]
The thinner our devices become, the less room there is for speakers and other thicker components. Kyocera has a solution, however: it just modified its Smart Sonic Receiver conduction technology for use with conventional, over-the-air audio. The company’s new Smart Sonic Sound device still relies on a piezoelectric actuator, but vibrates against a film to generate as much volume as a regular speaker in a far thinner (under 1.5mm thick) design. The new speaker might even sound better than its traditional counterparts. It delivers full volume and quality in a 180-degree listening arc, and it’s responsive enough to recreate very subtle noises. Smart Sonic Sound is already shipping in LG’s 55-inch curved OLED TV, and Kyocera expects it to reach laptops, tablets and other devices where interior space is valuable.
Update: Our colleagues at Engadget Japanese have posted their first-hand look at Kyocera’s speaker technology, complete with a gallery of live photos; we’ve posted two of them here.

Software developers and PC vendors have frequently catered to reluctant Windows 8 buyers with Start menu replicas, and that trend doesn’t appear to be slowing down. Lenovo has just reached a deal that will bundle SweetLabs’ Pokki suite with its Windows 8 PCs, including a Start menu replacement, an app store and a game arcade. The two companies haven’t said which particular systems will first ship with Pokki, although the deal starts with consumer-focused devices and will spread to include multiple PCs across the IdeaCentre, IdeaPad and ThinkPad lines. The SweetLabs agreement should cheer those who want the old Windows experience or an alternative software store. The bundle may prove bittersweet for Microsoft, however — it usually wants Windows PC buyers to embrace the future.
