Could 3D printing be the future of office supply stores? Staples, for one, has been dipping its toes in those rising waters, offering a limited selection of devices on its site. Office Depot’s following suit, making the seemingly logical move of including the third dimension in its printing offering. The chain announced today that it’s added 3D Systems’ Cube and CubeX to its online store, selling the printers for $1,299 and $2,499, respectively. It’s not quite a 3D printing kiosk in every store (who wouldn’t want a personalized Star Trek figure while you wait?), but it’s always nice to see a company looking to embrace emerging technology.
If you’ve wanted full-blown Windows 8 in bite-size form, you now have your chance: the Acer Iconia W3 is on sale in the US. The 8.1-inch slate is in stock at both Office Depot and Staples, starting at $350 for a 32GB model at both outlets. Don’t count on the 64GB version being available — it’s still listed as an online-only pre-order at Office Depot. There’s also no word on inventory at Amazon or other competing retailers. Should you not be picky about capacities or store choices, however, you can take the W3 home today.

ASUS VivoTab RT pops up early at Office Depot, teases our Windows RT future
Posted in: Today's ChiliWant an early glimpse of the VivoTab RT without having to attend ASUS’ special event? Thanks to our tipster, you’ve got it. An Office Depot has received at least one example of the Windows RT slate a full three days in advance. The short impressions: it’s an “awesome” Tegra 3-packing tablet, although the OS reportedly chews up more than half of the 32GB of storage, and USB depends on an adapter if you’re not relying on the keyboard. While price wasn’t immediately available, we’re not expecting retail to deviate greatly from the $599 pre-order formula.

ASUS Transformer Prime TF700T showing ‘in stock’ at Office Depot, days before scheduled US release
Posted in: Today's ChiliJuly 16th? Why wait? A full three days prior to the previously scheduled US release date, ASUS’ Transformer Prime TF700T is showing as “in stock” right now from Office Depot. For those who’ve managed to forget about it’s amenities since its original unveiling some six months ago, this one’s packing a 10.1-inch (1,920 x 1,200) display, Android 4.0, Bluetooth 3.0, 802.11b/g/n, 32GB of internal storage and NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 keeping the gears turning. As expected, $499.99 is the asking price, with an estimated delivery of “Just as soon as shipping partners get back to work next week.” Oh, and scalpers — it’s limit two per customer. Just a heads-up.
[Thanks, Tony]
