Acer Teasing Laptop style Desktop With Tilt Screen, Just a Reinvention of the HP Pavilion HDX?
Acer released a video tease of a “laptop” today that included scenes from the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness, hinting that this system is something that’s ahead of its time. However, this Acer system appears to be an oversized laptop with a tilting screen hinge like a desktop monitor and akin to the HP Pavilion HDX 20” released back in 2007 (which is of course no longer available). So it might just be that Acer has only short term memory and they’ve forgotten about past releases from their competitors. While the video never actually completely reveals this new Acer notebook, it does imply it’s large by representing it as the Star Trek Enterprise (a giant spaceship). We can also see enough to tell the hinge allows for tilting and supports the screen in the center instead of at the bottom. Acer is holding a press conference on May 3rd to [...]

How DisplayPort multi-streaming delivers new levels of multi-monitor madness
When a vendor sends us a demo system, it typically take great care to ensure that we experience the system exactly as the maker intends us to. So when VESA, the trade group responsible for the DisplayPort standard, said that it was sending PCWorld a multiple-monitor demo system similar to the one it exhibited at CES in January, I expected it to arrive bundled with a detailed guide and all the software needed to present DisplayPort in its best light. Imagine my surprise when an MSI GX60 gaming laptop, two 24-inch Dell U2413 displays, and a 21.5-inch HP Elite L2201x showed up in the PCWorld Labs without so much as a user manual for any of the four devices. “Wow,” I thought. “They must be pretty confident that setting all this up will be self-evident.” Robert CardinThe Mini DisplayPort connector is located on the MSI GX60′s rear panel, between the [...]

Review: HP Spectre XT TouchSmart is a sweet-looking, underpowered computer inside an Ultrabook’s clothing
I became a big enthusiast of Ultrabooks—or at smallest the idea of Ultrabooks—when they initially debuted inside 2012. After all, whom doesn’t like the idea of sliver-thin laptops which run Windows? Unfortunately, it appears like the description of a Ultrabook has because extended to include any reasonably sleek-looking ultraportable laptop—other specs be darned. HP’s newest Spectre XT TouchSmart shows how the description could stretch inside awkward techniques. It’s got the appearance of a ultrabook—and it’s a amazing look. The touchscreen show is awesome.

The kicker is its included AMD Radeon 7600G GPU. Despite the thin profile, the cost is really fair considering this really is not precisely an ultrabook — rather it belongs to HP’s proprietary Sleekbook line, that is a similar-sounding category HP invented to advertise laptops which are ultrabook-like, however don’t meet the official Intel needs (ultrabook is a trademarked Intel advertising term). It’s pretty obvious why this isn’t an Intel-approved ultrabook — the CPU is a quad-core AMD A8-4555M.
