Hasta La Gadget!

Major companies have a notorious reputation for quietly bringing unannounced products to trade shows like IFA 2013 and tossing them in some random part of the booth, which means we’re always walking in expecting to find something new. Fortunately, LG did not disappoint us this time, as it showed off a new 13-inch “Ultra PC” Ultrabook called the Z935. Reps told us that this model, due to arrive in Korea this November for $1,000, is a minor refresh to its existing series of Ultrabooks; the Z935 in particular gets a bump in IPS display resolution to Quad HD (2560 x 1440) and also sports a Haswell SoC. The Win8-powered machine measures 314 x 219 x 13.6mm and weighs 1.15kg, much like the Z360 we peeked at in January. There’s a USB port and HDMI port to the right, along with a headphone jack, while a pair of microSD slots are tucked away just a tad underneath the right-hand side, hidden barely out of sight but still easily accessible; USB and ethernet ports line the opposite side. All told, there are only a few minor design changes here, and we’ve put together a gallery of images for you to see it from all angles. We’re still waiting for the full listing of specs, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we hear more.

ASUS today announced two new ultrabooks, the Zenbook UX301 and UX302. Both models have a metallic ‘spun” metal design with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on the lid. The UX301 is a 13.3 inch ultrabook that has a touchscreen display offering 2,560×1,440 pixel resolution. UX301 will also be available with a lower resolution 1,920×1,080 display IPS display. The 13.3 inch UX302 only offers the 1080 full HD IPS touchscreen display. The ultrabook you see above is the UX301.

We knew a novel VAIO form factor was bound to be announced at IFA when Sony dropped a origami-inspired teaser video last week. And look what we have here: in Berlin, the PC maker unveiled a new line of VAIO Flip PCs.

Like the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, this Ultrabook can be used in a variety of modes; the machine works as a standard clamshell laptop, but the display can also be collapsed down over the keyboard for use as a tablet. Finally, you can reverse the screen so it’s facing outward, away from the keyboard, in “viewer mode.” The Flip will be sold in 13-,14- and 15-inch flavors, compared to the 11- and 13-inch sizes for the Yoga. Does Sony have a strong contender on its hands? Read on for specs and impressions.%Gallery-slideshow74630% %Gallery-slideshow79436%
