HTC ONE! -…

In the year 2013, few things are as hyped as a new premium smartphone. There were adverts for the Sony Xperia Z all over the national press, technology journalists (ourselves included) are falling over themselves to pick up on any rumours about the Samsung Galaxy S4 and even staid, businesslike BlackBerry hired Alicia Keys to be its Creative Director. By contrast, HTC has been relatively quiet about the new HTC One.

Amazing Dock for MacBook Pro…

Posted by blucable on Feb 22, 2013 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

Thunderbolt expansion docks for MacBook Pro have been slow to come to get started with offerings from Matrox and Belkin only now coming to market after lengthy delays. And they’re pricey, too, at $299 and $249 respectively. A new Kickstarter project called the MacDock argues you can do almost as much for considerably less, and without adding Thunderbolt into the mix.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga

Make no mistake: Lenovo is taking this Windows 8 thing very seriously. The company’s first-generation of Win 8 devices includes everything from a laptop / tablet hybrid to a classic convertible laptop with a swiveling display. Then there’s the Yoga. This, too, is a convertible, in the sense that it can be used as a tablet. But it’s not like any convertible you used back in the Win 7 era: the screen folds 360 degrees back, turning this Ultrabook into a giant, 13-inch slate. Because of that special hinge, though, you can also bend it into Downward Dog, to use a Yoga term (“tent mode,” if you’re nasty) or fold the keyboard underneath so that only screen is exposed. It was one of the most memorable things unveiled at CES, and it remains the most striking Windows 8 design we’ve seen to date. But what’s it like to actually use it? And how does it fare as, you know, a plain old $1,000 Ultrabook? Let’s find out.

ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A – an Ultrabook as Intel imagined it

When it came out, the Asus Zenbook UX31 was pretty much the best Ultrabook money could buy – even now, it’s at the top of the list, right along with the MacBook Air (with whom it shares a very similar design and features, for that matter). But time doesn’t stay in one place, and Asus has already released the successor to the popular UX31, the Zenbook Prime UX31A – an Ultrabook that is worthy of both names and is a perfect successor to the first 13 inch Zenbook.

Office 2013, are you ready?

Microsoft is continuing to get all its Office 2013 ducks in a row as it approaches the still-unconfirmed but imminent launch date for its newest Office release.

The latest piece that’s fallen into place is the addition of Office Professional Plus 2013 to the company’s Home Use Program (HUP). (Thanks to Neowin for the tip.)
