We recently mentioned that Dell are launching the Dell Adamo XPS ultra thin laptop that measures just under 10mm. Information on the Adamo XPS is very thin on the ground at the moment with just a few teaser shots and a lot of speculation providing what we know.
Business Week claim that the laptop will cost $2000 when launched and one of the most unique features seems to be a heat-sensing strip that runs along the lip of the lid. When gliding your finger across the strip the thing glows white and the casing opens up the aluminium lid. [Read more…]
It probably won’t be a surprise for you, but Amazon.de have listed a new netbook tablet with a launch date of October 22… ie, Windows 7 launch day. The netbook tablet launching is the Asus Eee T91MT that’s a multi-touch tablet netbook that has an 8.9 inch screen along with a 160GB HDD.
It is similar to the Asus Eee T91 but rather than the solid state drive of the T91, this one opts for a harddrive instead. Inside you’ll also find the same processor on the T91MT as the T91 had.
The netbook tablet is available in either black or white according to the site and will cost the equivalent of $754. [Read more…]
Acer are launching what they claim to be the worlds first 3D laptop. It is named the Acer Aspire 5738PG and allows you to view both 2D movies and photos as 3D content. Also, games will have the ability to run in 3D if they support DirectX 9 and above.
The downside of all this is that you will still have to wear the funky glasses pictured above. If that isn’t a problem for you then your good to go. The 3D effect works by Acer using an in-house software application along with a special coating over the screen. By using the polarized glasses it gives a 3D effect.
Acer calls the new system “TriDef 3D Experience” and the special coating seems to be where most of the work is done. The coating attaches to the screen panel pixel by pixel and by using the filtered polarised glasses you get to see the images from a slightly different angle in each eye to give the effect.
