Okay, so you have a brilliant idea but detest to use pen and paper to write down your short-lived inspiration? Don’t worry, get an IdeaPad. Hmmm, maybe that’s the kind of ad Lenovo would run, maybe not.
Anyway, the IdeaPad U110 is Lenovo’s debut to the 11.1 inch ultraportable laptop market, putting it head to head against the Sony VAIO TZ Series. It runs on a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, combined with a 120GB HDD, 2GB of RAM and an Intel X3100 graphics adapter.
It also features a 1.3MP webcam, three USB 2.0 ports, a 6-in-1 media reader, ExpressCard slot, VeriFace face recognition, and a Dolby Home Theater audio system.
From the outside, the U110 is pretty good-looking with a sleek design. (more…)
When it comes to TV, there’s a new kid on the block. It’s called the XEL-1 and it’s changing television the way the iPhone changed cell phones. So what’s it’s secret? A display that measures only 3mm thick and a picture that even outclasses HD TV.
This technology is breakthrough. An OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) converts electric energy directly into light. These display panels do not require a thick backlight, thus producing incredibly fast response times, and top energy efficiency. At 11″ the picture may be small but it has a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1! It’s not just the screen that is revolutionary, the TV itself sports two HDMI™ inputs, a digital tuner, and a Memory Stick® media slot.
Other “miracles” stuffed into this sleek package are: color purity(105% of the NTSC color space is achieved); a wide 178° viewing angle; exceptional color reproduction; outstanding contrast levels; and high brightness. Sony has created a milestone with the first OLED television, the XEL-1. (more…)
DXG is one of the fastest growing digital camera manufacturers, but you won’t be able to tell from their prices.
The new DXG-569V camcorder is small enough to be an ultra-portable and it is available in your choice of black or silver.
It also features a digital voice recorder. Plus it makes it easy to connect it to your HDTV, or upload to the web with the inlcuded cables so you can share videos with your family and friends.
While the retail price is really affordable, you’ll still have to invest a SD memory card for storage.
This HD camcorder should give similar devices a serious run for the money. (more…)
