Hasta La Gadget!

[CeBIT 2013] Fujitsu launched its new LIFEBOOK E-Series at CeBIT and I had the opportunity to get my hands on the devices. The new lineup comes in three flavors: the E733 features a 13-inch 1366×768 display, the E743 gets a 14-inch 1600×900 display and you can get the 15.6-inch either with a 1366×768 or a Full HD (920×1080) screen.

The new E-series has been built using the same motherboard for the three models, that’s why, as you can see in the picture, all the connectors are located at similar spots on all versions. The unique feature of these notebooks is the modular bay where you can either place a DVD drive, an extra battery, another HDD or the Fujitsu patented bay projector (see picture of the accessory below after the jump). The projector is certainly a convenient option for business travelers who need to perform presentations while on the road.

This week Acer is bringing the heat with a cool new projector that works with several new-age technologies that make 3D media a reality for your own home environment. With the Acer H6510BD Projector you’ll be supported with Blu-ray 3D, DLP 3D, and NVIDIA 3DTV Play technologies to back you up. At Full HD 1080p resolution with a massive beast of a brightness at 3000 ANSI lumens, you’ll have the Tuesday Movies Night of your life!

This projector is able to bring on a fabulous 10,000:1 DynamicBlack contrast ratio for the most crisp execution of graphics you’ve ever seen. You’ll find that you’re projecting at a rather green speed as well with ExtremeEco mode. Acer says that this mode allows you “up to 70 percent” power savings and will extend the life of your device’s lamp “up to 7000 hours.” That’s quite significant, needless to say.

So you’ll be using this device not just to watch movies projected from – for example – your laptop. With a compact size – 10.4 x 8.7 x 1.3-inches and a weight at just 4.8 pounds, you’ll be able to bring it along in your backpack wherever you please. Of course you could also hook it up to your gaming PC and project to a massive wall in your basement for 3D gaming galore – can you imagine a next-generation title like Destiny rocking out at 1080p and in 3D on your wall next year?

With this projector’s 2D-to-3D conversion technology, you’ll be able to, as Acer says, “[convert] into 3D any 2D picture or video signal that passes through the HDMI port.” We’ll see how this tech actually stands up when it’s available for demo rather soon. Until then, you’ll also want to know that you’ve got Analog RGB/component video (D-Sub) for input along with component (three RCA), S-Video (mini DIN), and Composite video (RCA), as well as HDMI (video, audio, HDCP) x 2. This is all joined by regular PC audio via a stereo mini jack.

You’ll be able to buy this Acer H6510BD Projector immediately if not soon for a cool $799 USD MSRP. This price includes a limited one-year warranty and is sure to be irresistible to those of you out there with an itch for 3D on a massive scale. Let us know if you’re planning to dive in!

Android smartphone users in the Asia-Pacific area will soon be able to get a small pocket protector from Aiptek that is designed to work with their Android devices. The projector is called the Aiptek MobileCinema A50p. The projector comes with an integrated MHL cable making it plug-and-play compatible with Samsung, HTC, and LG mobile devices.

The projector uses DLP technology and has energy-saving RGB LEDs rather than a traditional bulb. Those LEDs promise up to 20,000 hours of lifetime and provide 45 lm of maximum brightness. The resolution of the projector is 640 x 480 and it can throw an image of up to 60-inches diagonally.

A resolution of 640 x 480 is a low for a 60-inch image, but it may be better than watching on a small screen for some users. The projector offers a contrast ratio of 1000:1 and no software is required to project media using the device. Power comes from an internal rechargeable battery good for 120 min. of use.

The projector requires a projection distance of 20 cm to 200 cm. The little projector measures 132 x 71 x 15 mm and weighs 170 g. The device has manual focus and features a micro HDMI and USB output. The projector also has an internal speaker for improved sound.

Sony has just announced that they will be rolling out their next generation WUXGA installation projector that will sport Laser Light Source Technology, delivering what Sony claims to be a “world’s first” 3LCD laser, 4,000 lumens WUXGA (1920 x 1200) projector. It is no surprise then, to have another superlative attached to it , making it the brightest projector of its kind and a first for the industry.

What makes the Laser Light Source Projector so different from a traditional projector? For starters, you need not fret over the issues of lamp change thanks to its increased durability as well as low total cost of ownership. Sporting the newly developed BrightEra 3LCD technology, the projector is said to offer up to 20,000 hours maintenance free time, depending on the projector’s environment and setup conditions. It will also rely on lasers instead of LEDs to deliver optimum brightness. Thanks to white light, similar to traditional UHP light sources, being directed into the 3LCD engine, your eyes will be greeted by incredible picture quality that translates to substantially brighter images, better contrast ratios and outstanding color stability.

You will have to wait until this summer to take advantage of the Laser Light Source Projector though, so at least you have a few months to start saving up. [Press Release]
