MSI’s GT683DXR and GT780DXR shred pixels with NVIDIA’s GTX 570M (hands-on)

Posted by on Wednesday, 7 September, 2011
We might still be smitten with a certain svelte ebony beaut, but we’re aware some of you require absolute maximum performance from your “portable” gaming rig. Here to heed your call for blistering frame rates is MSI, which has gone and refreshed two laptops from its gaming lineup: the 15.6-inch GT683DXR and its big brother, the 17.3-inch GT730DXR. While both retain the Core i7-2630QM from their forebears, the duo now feature NVIDIA’s beefy GTX 570M with 1.5GB GDDR5. And just like their predecessors, either can be stuffed with up to 16GB of RAM, dual 500GB or 750GB drives and a Blu-ray burner. Also on board is a premium sound system from Dynaudio, four USB ports (two of the 3.0 variety), Gigabit Ethernet, VGA and HDMI sockets and, of course, 802.11b/g/n WiFi.

They’re on sale now, starting at ,699 for the 15-incher and ,799 for the 17-inch variant. MSI was kind enough to send us the smaller and lighter of the two, so hop on past the break for our brief impressions.

Android-powered LG Revolution caught streaming Netflix at MWC (video)

Posted by on Tuesday, 15 February, 2011

Well, well — what have we here? That up above is LG’s Revolution, a Snapdragon-powered Android superphone. What’s inside is no normal Snapdragon, though. It’s actually a newfangled chip that isn’t shipping to consumers just yet, which includes DRM libraries at a hardware level that serve to satisfy paranoid movie execs. The good news is that Qualcomm has actually whipped up a solution that’ll finally bring Watch Instantly to Android; the bad news is that existing smartphones — even existing Snapdragon devices — will not be able to utilize the app. Without new hardware, the Android version of the Netflix app simply won’t function, and no one at Qualcomm was willing to tell us when these Netflix-friendly Snapdragon chips would begin to ship out.

Whenever that fateful day arrives, though, Snapdragon devices with HDMI sockets will be able to beam that content right to their HDTV — the company’s hardware is HDCP-approved, so there’s no sweat when it comes to watching content on the big screen. On-site representatives made clear that both the phone and the app were for demonstration purposes only, but we’d be shocked if LG’s handset shipped without this compatibility. The demo we saw was smooth as butter, and the app itself looked glorious on the Revolution’s 4.3-inch touchscreen. See for yourself in the video just past the break.

Computer Systems

Posted by on Thursday, 25 March, 2010

If you are the beginner in computers, probably, you are interested in what hardware is and how it differs from the computer software.

Some of them are demountable and / or can be the general and by mail. Sockets USB, parent payments, modems and routers are considered also as the computer equipment.

The computer equipment and the software are rather developed and protected materials. The operating system evolved together with computers which will be used with ease of the majority of operators. What use for filling of the whole buildings now can sit in a lap! The big systems are created for commercial, business and the governmental use.

There is one more situation to recognize, and this is the use of the external equipment, located not on your computer. Here where you have bought, for example, a web site of the accepting company, and you use their equipment to remote access from the computer through the Internet.

Cute Cube Concept Needs To Become A Reality

Posted by on Monday, 11 January, 2010

Cute Cube Power Bar Concept (Image courtesy Red Dot Design Awards)
By Andrew Liszewski

Traveling with a compact power bar of some sort is a necessity these days, which is why I sincerely hope this Cute Cube power adapter concept becomes a reality, and soon! Designed by Zhang Xi, Wang Hui, Miao Yingying, Zhou Xing and Cai Yun and winner of a most deserved Red Dot Design Award, the Cute Cube is nothing more than your run-of-the-mill power bar, but in a vastly improved package.

First of all the compact cube shape makes it easy to carry in a laptop bag or suitcase, but it also ensures the sockets aren’t sitting next to each other, which can be problematic if you’ve got a large transformer plugged in that blocks other outlets. And if you do run into an issue because of the size of the plug you’re using or the orientation of its cord, each of the sockets on the Cute Cube can rotate to accommodate everything you need to plug in. Cute? Kind of. Brilliant? Absolutely.
