Upcoming Tablets for the Month of August

Posted by reeYnee On 2:33 PM 1 comment
Asus MeMO Pad HD 7 
 Released Date: August 11
Processor: 1.2GHz Quad-Core A7



Lenovo MIIX 10 
Released Date: August 16
Processor: Intel Z2760


HP SlateBook x2

Released Date: August 26
Processor: 1.8GHz Tegra 4


HP Split x2

Released Date: August 26
Processor: Intel Core i3


Samsung Ativ Q

Released Date: August
Processor: Intel i5 Haswell


Archos ChefPad

Released Date: August
Processor: Dual-core A9


The best things about:
It’s the thinnest Windows 8 tablet on the market today at only 8.2 mm, and despite being a full Windows 8 tablet it’s still supposed to be affordable, it weighs 550 gram, which makes it the lightest 10.1-inch Windows 8 tablet too, it has a built in S-Pen stylus, Side Sync software (see below), microSD card expansion, microUSB, and microHDMI ports, Samsung have made their own thin keyboard cover to this tablet, it has a Windows 8 tablet class leading 10 hour battery life, and sports a decent 64GB of storage.

The worst things about it:
The 10.1-inch display only have a 1366×768 resolution which holds it back a little. The 1.8GHz Intel Atom Z2760 does not make this the most powerful tablet either, and 2GB of LPDDR2 RAM is a little on the mediocre/average side for a Windows 8 tablet – However, all the downsides are there to keep the cost down. So this could give the Samsung Ativ Tab 3 a better price eventually than the whopping $599 launch and release price.

Samsung Ativ Tab 3

Posted by reeYnee On 12:42 AM No comments
The Ativ Tab’s are very similar to the Galaxy Tab line, with the major difference being that the 3 Galaxy Tab tablets are running Android, whereas the Ativ Tab 3, 5, and 7, are Windows 8 tablets.
Samsung is bragging that the Ativ Tab 3 is the thinnest Windows 8 tablet in the world today, with a thickness of 8.2 mm.

The screen is a typical 10.1-inch with a 1366×768 display resolution. It’s not too heavy at 550 grams.
The power comes in form of an Intel Atom processor, 2GB of RAM, and 64GB storage. Very average for a Windows 8 tablet in other words.

Which should have brought the price down. But with the Ativ Tab 3 being a Samsung tablet, expect a premium price all the same. Price and release date will be anounced by Samsung at a later date.

The Ativ Tab 3 also have the S-Pen stylus, as more and more Samsung tablets and phones tend to have.

Asus New Tablets For 2013

Posted by reeYnee On 12:05 AM No comments
Asus unveiled a range of four new tablet computers today, including a very exciting new dual-OS Android + Windows convertible/hybrid tablet, creating a machine with a lot of opportunities. Here’s the breakdown:

Asus Transformer Book Trio

Transformer Book Trio is the most unique of the new tablets thanks to the dual operating systems it features. With the press of a button, you can opt between running this tablet as either a Android 4.2 device or a Windows 8 device. On top of that, this is also designed as a convertible/hybrid tablet, with all extra benefits this entails. 

The other specs are just as good. To begin with it has a 16:9 aspect ratio 11.6-inch IPS display with a 1920×1080 resolution. The dock/keyboard/PC Station has a 4th generation Intel Core i5/i7-4500U processor and a 750 GB hard drive. The reason why it’s called a “PC Station” is because this part of the device can function as a stand alone computer that can be connected to an external display when the tablet/display is detached, essentially giving you two computers.

The tablet itself has its own 2.0 GHz Intel Atom Z2580 processor with up to 64GB of storage. Release date of Transformer Book Trio is for the time being set to Q3 of 2013, with a more precise date to be announced by Asus later on.

Asus MeMO Pad FHD 10

And then finally, Asus also showed us the new 10.1-inch MeMO Pad FHD 10.
As the name implies, this is a Full HD 1920×1200 resolution tablet, with IPS display and 178-degree wide viewing angles.

This Android 4.2 tablet is powered by a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z2560 processor, have the same 1.2 MP front camera and a 5 MP rear camera as its smaller sibling above, features Asus SonicMaster audio technology, have GPS and GLONASS sensors, and have a battery life of up to 10 hours.

It is only 9.5mm thick and weighs in at 580 gram. The memory configurations are either 16GB or 32GB + microSD card support. The back of the tablet have a “micro-weave finish” for increased grip, and the color options for the back are blue, white, or pink. Release date for Asus MeMO Pad FHD 10is set to September 2013, with the price to be announced later.

Asus Transformer Pad Infinity

Being the first Android 4.2 tablet to feature the new NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor at a whopping 1.9GHz, in addition to sporting a 72-core GeForce graphics processor, the Transformer Pad Infinity is a fast new hybrid tablet that drives off the information super highway and onto the free-speed German autobahn instead, leaving its current competition in dust in the rear view mirror.

The 10.1-inch backlit LED display have an outstanding iPad-beating 2560×1600 resolution in addition to 10-point multi-touch and IPS technology with a 178-degree viewing angle. For sound, Asus have gone with their own SonicMaster-enhanced audio system.

Even the keyboard dock have a multi-touch touchpad, in addition to USB 3.0, an SDXC card reader, and of course extra battery power.

Asus MeMO Pad HD 7

MeMO Pad HD 7 is a cheaper Nexus 7 alternative. To be released in August, this Android 4.2 tablet will start at only $129 with 8GB of memory, or $149 with 16GB (both have microSD support). For that money you get a 7-inch IPS display with a 1280×800 resolution and 170-degree viewing angles, a quad-core MTK 8125 ARM Cortex A7 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 1.2 MP front camera and a 5 MP rear camera, and Asus SonicMaster stereo sound technology.

It is 10.8mm thick and only weighs 302 gram, making it the lightest tablet on the market! It has a 10 hour battery life, and is available with a range of four color choices; black, white, pink or green. With a price like that, this has got to be the best budget tablet of the year!

Included with both this tablet and the one below, is the Asus protective TransCover with microfiber interior to keep it safe from scratches. This cover also doubles as a flexible stand.

July 15 (Bloomberg) -- Microsoft Corp. is cutting the price of its Surface RT tablet by as much as 30 percent as the device struggles to lure customers amid competition from machines such as Apple Inc.’s iPad. 
 
The least-expensive Surface RT model costs $349 without a cover that doubles as a keyboard, according to Microsoft’s website, down from $499. The same machine with a keyboard included is being reduced to $449 from $599. Microsoft is discounting a version with double the memory to $449 without a keyboard cover, or $549 with the attachment.

Surface, Microsoft’s first-ever computer, has been largely shunned by consumers and corporate customers since its debut in October, selling just 900,000 units in each of its first two quarters on the market, according to researcher IDC. Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer is pushing into hardware to bolster sales as demand for Windows software ebbs amid a global personal-computer slump.

Ballmer unveiled a sweeping revamp last week which is intended to streamline management and rev up growth in areas like tablets and mobile computing. Tablets, a market where 3.7 percent of machines run Microsoft’s Windows, are poised to outsell PCs by 2015, according to IDC.
Frank Shaw, a spokesman for Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft, declined to comment on the price cuts. On its website, the company billed the discounts as “a great tablet, now at an even better price.”


Following a number of reports claiming the launch of Apple’s new Retina display-equipped iPad mini tablet has been delayed, a new report from the Far East supports those rumors yet again. Digitimes’ unnamed sources in Apple’s supply chain claim that the overhauled iPad mini we’re all waiting for won’t launch until sometime in early 2014. According to the report, mass production for the new tablet will begin in the fourth quarter this year. In the meantime, Apple will reportedly launch a new second-generation iPad mini sometime in the second half of 2013 that is “lighter, thinner and equipped with improved specifications.” The report also notes that Apple is planning to release a completely redesigned full-size iPad this fall that will be smaller and lighter than the current model, and will feature a “slimmer bezel design to allow a bigger viewing area.”
