Sony took a two-pronged approach with Windows 8 tablets back at IFA 2013 last month, opting to hit both the slate form-factor with the VAIO Tap 11 and the convertible hybrid with the VAIO Flip, and now the company has confirmed price and availability for both. The Sony VAIO Flip 13A, 14A, and 15A are […]
The multi-form notebook with touchscreen abilities is a form factor that appears to be alive and well here in 2013, and Dell wants the world to know that they’re all about continuing to innovate with the 2-in-1 2013 edition of the Dell XPS 11 this morning. What we’re seeing here is what Dell calls the […]
Dell‘s XPS 13 and XPS 15 are getting a touchscreen refresh, the notebooks in line for Haswell processor upgrades and a jolt in graphics too. The updated 13.3-inch Dell XPS 13 now has a 1080p Full HD touchscreen with a Gorilla Glass NBT top-layer to keep it safe, while the new Dell XPS 15 steps […]
We first met the Dell XPS 11 back at Computex, but at the time Dell wasn’t ready to go into much detail on its Yoga-like foldable Ultrabook. At a press conference today in New York, however, we learned a little more about the XPS 11 — including the price. For starters — and this should surprise no one — the company’s offering Intel’s Haswell chips, and all-solid-state storage. We’re told the final product doesn’t look any different from the prototype we played with, which is to say it’s an amalgam of machined aluminum and carbon fiber, with a sheet of Gorilla Glass NBT covering the pixel-packed 2,560 x 1,440 “IGZO-based” touch display. That’s what you’ll be poking at when you’re in tablet mode, having folded the solid-surface keyboard back round the 180-degree hinge. Speaking of the keyboard, it will have 0.5mm travel and customizable feedback options. There will also be optional NFC and unspecified “voice options” available when the XPS 11 is finally up for grabs, but when that will be, and at what price, won’t be known for a few weeks yet. Look for it in November for $1,000 and up and in the meantime, we encourage you to revisit our hands-on from June.
Update: At last, Dell has announced pricing and availability for the XPS 11. We’ve just learned it will be available in November, starting at $1,000.

So you say you’ve seen every single different kind of Ultrabook there is to see, yes? Acer disagrees with you – here in the Acer TravelMate X313, you’ve got a tablet that works with a dock and a keyboard case as well as an 11.6-inch display with extreme scratch resistance. This device builds on the […]
HP has unveiled one of the thinnest ultrabook in its line called the Spectre 13. The ultrabook has a lot of the latest Intel technology inside combined with a very thin profile and an attractive industrial design. The ultrabook is about 15 mm thick, making about the thickness of a typical ink pen. The machine […]
With the generation of workstation computers introduced this week by HP, this brand is taking the market from a real mobile angle with the HP ZBook 14 as its hero. This device works with a 14-inch LED-backlit SVA eDP anti-glare display up front coming with two configurations: one touch, the other standard. Under the hood […]
HP’s 2012 mobile workstation range was powerful, but would we have called it exciting? Not exactly. The company may just liven things up with its new ZBook line, however. The three-laptop series is based on a thinner and lighter design template that includes a 14-inch Ultrabook variant, the ZBook 14 (pictured above). Basically, Dell’s Precision M3800 now has a big-name competitor. Those willing to trade some portability for power will also get a few welcome additions. The mid-size ZBook 15 (after the break) has a 3,200 x 1,800 display option, while both the ZBook 15 and the flagship ZBook 17 carry Thunderbolt ports.
All three PCs ship with Haswell-based Intel processors as well as the latest pro graphics from either AMD or NVIDIA. Mobile workers can order the 15- and 17-inch ZBooks today, or wait for the 14-inch system’s arrival in late October. You’ll find more details of HP’s workstation updates after the break, including a more conservative refresh to the Z desktop line that brings Ivy Bridge-based Xeon processors and Thunderbolt 2.
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. […]
Lenovo has built upon its original Yoga foundation with the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, a so-called multi-mode notebook that will be familiar to anyone who got their hands on the original model. We got some hands-on time with the laptop here at IFA 2013 and have returned with a gallery and our impressions of the […]
