Giant Coffee Table Touchscreen Computer

giant-coffee-table-touchscreenNot all coffee tables are created equal – the $7,000 Giant Coffee Table Touchscreen Computer can certainly attest to that, otherwise, how else would it be able to come with such an insane price tag, so much so that you could buy a decent second hand car with that kind of money? Well, there must be something about this particular coffee table that would require you to fork out some serious coin for it, other than the fact that it would fit in nicely into any living room regardless of the decoration around it.

The bulk of the money would go into the innards of this particular coffee table, where a fully functional Windows 8 computer has been incorporated within, alongside a 32″ touch screen display, which makes this ideal for checking out enlarged photos or maps, in addition to playing games (simple ones would be best, especially those that require a touchscreen display), or enabling multiple users to comfortably view the same data from the couch without missing a beat. On top of the table lies an anti-glare LCD screen which functions in the same way as that of a tablet – albeit at a far larger size. Other features include half a dozen touch points which pave the way for easy navigation, apart from 1,366 x 768 resolution. It will be powered by an Intel Core i5 3.2GHz processor, 6GB RAM, a 500GB hard drive, sports a quartet of USB ports, DVI, audio-out, and microphone ports, a 1GB graphics card, Wi-Fi- and Bluetooth connectivity.

MSI GS70 gaming laptop is thinnest and lightest yet

msi-gs70Gaming laptops tend to tread on thin ice, as they are normally large and bulky in order to accommodate the parts within which require more space than a “normal” working-class laptop. And as physics would dictate, the larger an object is, generally speaking, it would be heavier. Not only that, the performance that you are able to coax out of a gaming laptop would still fall short of your home’s souped up gaming rig most of the time. Well, MSI intends to turn things upside down with the introduction of the MSI GS70 gaming laptop.

For starters, the MSI GS70 gaming laptop is a definitely looker, coming in such a svelte body that you might mistake it for an Ultrabook of sorts. After all, we are talking about an ultra-thin and light brush aluminum chassis that measures less than an inch thin, tipping the scales at a respectable 5.7 lbs, clearly making this the thinnest and lightest 17” gaming laptop in the world. I guess MSI has succeeded in achieving the balance between portability and power on the go.

Just what kind of parts will you be able to find underneath the hood? For starters, the MSI GS70 would come with the latest 4th generation Intel Core i7 processor running proceedings from within, and it is accompanied by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M. You will also find a Killer DoubleShot NIC, a SteelSeries full color backlit keyboard with Anti-Ghosting keys, a 17” Full HD anti-reflective display at 1,920 × 1,080 resolution, a 2.1 speaker system with integrated sub-woofer featuring Sound Blaster Cinema, 16GB RAM, a quartet of USB 3.0 ports, a trio of audio jacks, and a 720p HD webcam.

Not only that, the MSI GS70 prides itself in being the first dual fan laptop with a special thermal solution design which will pull heat from the top side of the laptop, dissipating it instead at a 45 degree upward angle to deliver superior performance and a cool gaming experience even if you have cranked all the detail levels in the game to the maximum to work the MSI GS70. The asking price would start from $1,799.99, with two configurations to choose from.

CyberpowerPC introduces Fang Taipan M2 gaming laptop

fang-taipan-m2Most gamers worth their salt would definitely want nothing but the very best hardware for their gaming needs, and I suppose this is a subconscious way of ensuring that should you fail to make that particular play or shot in the game itself, the blame can be shifted to the hardware – or rather, its lack of proficiency. Well, CyberpowerPC must have done plenty of soul searching to ensure that whoever brings home the Fang Taipan M2 gaming laptop will have no more excuse other than the lack of gaming talent whenever they do not make the cut.

The Fang Taipan M2 gaming laptop is a gaming laptop that comes in just one way: that is, your way. It can be customized for just about every buyer using the latest in-game technology, and depending on the reserves of “poison” (read: money) that you have, that will result in the kind of innards that the Fang Taipan M2 comes with. For starters, in terms of its GPU, you can choose from dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M in SLI mode or dual AMD Radeon HD 8970M in CrossFire mode. Not only that, the Fang Taipan M2 will also breeze along steadily thanks to the Intel Core i7-4930MX Extreme Edition CPU, where it is capable of supporting up to 32GBs of dual-channel, high-performance Kingston HyperX or Corsair Vengeance memory.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, USB 3.0 and e-SATA interfaces, where the lightning-fast Thunderbolt input will ensure that you get to enjoy the ultimate in connection speed, not to mention boasting rear and front-facing cameras. As for the keyboard itself, it is color-programmable and has responsive tactile feedback so that you get to enjoy enhanced gaming capability. Your eyes will be pleased to take full advantage of the Full HD 17.3″(16:9) LED-backlit display at 1920×1080 resolution, while your ears will enjoy a perfect sound setup thanks to an Onkyo speaker system that is supported by premium Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 audio technology.

Star Trek: TNG Borg Cube Monitor Mate

Star Trek fans, you know that one of the most deadly enemies that the Federation has ever faced were the Borg, and if their technological superiority does not win you over eventually, surely the monotonous monologue of “Resistance is futile” will wear out anyone hearing them after some time. Well, since the Borg are more feared than respected, you might want to send the same cold chill down your colleagues’ spines by placing this $12.99 Star Trek: TNG Borg Cube Monitor Mate at your workplace.

This is a mini Borg cube that was specially deisgned to sit on your monitor, where it serves as a reminder to the higher authorities on how much of a drone you are. It is rather comforting to know that this particular Borg cube does not hold millions of tiny nanoprobes, and neither will it come into life after office hours to assimilate you into the Borg Collective. The thing is, it would have been cooler if there was a motion sensor built in to spew out the words, “Resistance is futile” whenever someone drops by your place, but I guess we can’t ask too much for $12.99 now, can we?

Sharp LL-S201A announced

I am one who subscribes to the ideology that bigger is better – and when it comes to working with text and images, it makes perfect sense to have a really large display at your disposal. Your eyes will thank you for it in the long run, trust me. Sharp intends to up the ante when it comes to displays with the announcement of the 20” Full HD multi-touch monitor, where it carries the model number LL-S201A, and this bad boy has started to ship.

The Sharp LL-S201A is part of the Professional Touch Display product range, where you will find the power of the award-winning Sharp AQUOS BOARD Interactive Display System that has been crammed into a sleek, lightweight design. It is perfect for use in business, medical and education environments, and will also double up as a complement to the AQUOS BOARD display. In a nutshell, once you have warmed up to the LL-S201A, it ends up as an indispensable part of everyday communication, regardless of who is the user.

I suppose it will not take too long for your eyes to warm up to the 20” class touchscreen LCD panel that offers a whopping 1,920 x 1,080-pixel Full HD resolution with performance-enhancing UV2A technology, where it will do its bit to prevent light leakage so that you can experience truly bright whites and extremely deep blacks.

This 10-point multi-touch screen and Palm Cancellation Function will prioritize the touch of the pen compared to your finger, allowing you to write naturally and smoothly with the pen, even when your hand takes a break on the screen itself. Whenever it is hooked to a device that is powered by the Windows 8 operating system, the monitor will double up as an intuitive interface, and will also boast of a range of usage styles which will match the way you work. If you want it to stand, then a dedicated stand will prop the monitor at an easy-to-view 75 degree angle, making it ideal for use as a PC monitor or display. Should you prefer to exercise that writing arm of yours, then the Pen Writing Style with its Sharp Pen Software utility will allow one to enjoy natural handwriting functionality, similar to the AQUOS BOARD Interactive Display.

Of course, you can also write in Tablet Style. The Sharp LL-S201A can now be picked up from Sharp Authorized Pro AV dealers and resellers.

Computer smart enough to go toe-to-toe with a 4-year-old

Just how smart can computers get? Will we ever see the kind of apocalyptic future tushered in by the Red Queen of Resident Evil fame, or will an equivalent of Skynet eventually come and bite us in our rear end? How about HAL9000 and its homicidal tendencies? I am quite pleased to report that computers have yet to achieve such levels of audacity in terms of intelligence, but there has been progress somewhat. Artificial and natural knowledge researchers at the University of Illinois (UIC) at Chicago claim to have tested one of the best AI systems out there just to see how smart it really is, and it turned out to rank on a scale that is that of the average 4-year old. Yes, you can all return to your normal lives now, as there is nothing quite like the looming threat of an evil computer AI hell bent on destroying mankind just because it sees us as a “virus”.

ConceptNet 4 basically did extremely well on a vocabulary test and on its ability to recognize similarities, but it underperformed when it came to comprehension­ on ‘why’ questions, which makes perfect sense. After all, one of the most difficult issues in constructing an AI would be to work on it being able to arrive at sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts, which is what we humans like to call, common sense. Looks like the looming AI apocalypse is still far away.

Moshi debuts second generation Codex case

When it comes to your brand new notebook, just how far would you go to ensure that it looks and remains in pristine condition as far and as much as possible? Some of us would do things like purchase a protective sleeve for it, while others would go the extra mile and have one of those keyboard protectors, to make sure that the keyboard of the notebook itself will not be left “naked” to the threats of dust settling in between the keys, where that will definitely reduce the amount of performance you can enjoy from your notebook in due time. Well, here would be a solution for paranoid androids out there – a second generation of Moshi’s protective Codex case for the MacBook Air as well as Retina MacBook Pro.

This new version will boast of an aerodynamic profile alongside stylish new design details, and the Codex MacBook case plays nice with all models of Apple’s MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro laptops. Codex can be described as a modern, lightweight carrying case that has been specially tailored for the MacBook family, delivering not only protection but insulation as well from the daily wear and tear, while making sure you look good even as you work.

On the outside, the Moshi Codex will be made out of a kind of high-resilience polymeric hybrid material which delivers a sleek, brushed metal-like appearance. These next generation Codex cases have also been updated where they will include an attractive binding to deliver additional durability and style. Not only that, the Codex for MacBook Air also comes with a newly curved, aerodynamic aesthetic, making sure that the main reason you purchased your MacBook Air – for it to remain slim, will also be recognizable after slipping the Codex on. The Codex will be available in both Steel Black and Brushed Titanium for the 13” MacBook Air and 13” Retina MacBook Pro for $70 a pop, while it comes in Steel Black for the 11” MacBook Air at $65, with the 15” Retina MacBook Pro version going for $75.
