NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 rounds up some positive reviews
Well, it’s not quite June 1, but the GeForce GTX 465 reviews have come flooding out all the same. The official specs are exactly as a recent leak indicated: 352 CUDA cores running at 1,215MHz, a 607MHz graphics clock, and 1GB of GDDR5 memory operating at a 3.2GHz effective rate and exploiting a 256 bit-wide […]
DoJ’s inquiry at Apple purportedly expanding beyond iTunes practices
Take this for whatever it’s worth (which isn’t a whole heck of a lot without any official confirmation from any of the parties involved), but the New York Post has it that the Justice Department’s inquiry into Apple’s iTunes practices may in fact be growing. ‘Course, it’s not exactly surprising to hear that authorities are […]
ASUS debuts 15.6-inch ROG G53 3D gaming laptop at Computex
Hope you’re not burned out on ASUS introductions yet, ’cause they’re far from over. During the outfit’s Computex press conference, a new multimedia monster was unveiled in the ROG G53. ASUS didn’t bother sharing too many specifications, but that didn’t stop us from hunting down a placard with the deets we were craving. Whenever the […]
ASUS Eee Tablet preview
Alright, stick with us here. For some reason, ASUS decided it best to name its freshest e-reader the Eee Tablet, while its downright magical tablet goes by Eee Pad. Got all that? Good. The Eee Tablet (again, not to be confused with the Eee Pad tablet) is half e-reader, half note taker, and it’s an […]
ASUS Eee Pad EP101TC and EP121 preview
At long last, the ASUS Eee Pads have arrived, but unfortunately they’re just not working the way we’ve been imagining for all these months. We got a few minutes to toy around with the 10-inch EP101TC and 12-inch EP121, but both were barely working. And “barely” is being gracious. We can tell you that both […]
NVIDIA bringing 3D images to Sony’s Alpha camera lineup
Fujifilm’s REAL 3D W1 didn’t exactly get the warmest of welcomes, but even today it remains one of the few point-and-shoots that can natively take 3D photographs. Here at NVIDIA’s Computex press conference, the company slid in this little nugget: Sony’s new Alpha series of interchangeable lens compact cameras are now compatible with NVIDIA’s 3D […]
OnLive offering one year free membership to pre-registrants
Smart move by OnLive today. The controversial streaming game service is offering to waive the $14.95 monthly access fee for a full year (originally it was 3 months) for anyone who enthusiastically pre-registered early — many of you we suspect. It’s even tossing in a coupon for a free game when you register for the […]
NVIDIA ushers in the ‘3D PC’ with ASUS G51Jx-EE, Eee Top ET2400 and CD5390
Prior to heading across town to his own press event, ASUS‘ CEO (Jerry Shen) managed to show up donning a face-engulfing set of 3D glasses at NVIDIA’s shindig in downtown Taipei. Aside from congratulating NVIDIA on its successes in the 3D category, the bigwig also took time to announce a trio of new PCs. Described […]
ASUS Eee Tablet: a notepad with impressive 2450 dpi touchscreen sensitivity (updated)
Don’t call it the Eee Pad, this is ASUS’ Eee Tablet — a digital notebook with a 2,450 dpi touchscreen and lickity quick 0.1 second page turns on a backlight-less TFT-LCD offering 64-levels of grey. As such, ASUS is calling its Eee Tablet one of the world’s most accurate and sensitive note taking devices available. […]
ASUS Eee Pad official: Intel CULV processors, Windows 7, and a 10-hour battery life
Computex is really starting to ramp up now, as ASUS has taken the covers off its brand new Eee Pads. Of most interest will be the 12-inch EP121, which sports Intel’s Core 2 Duo CULV processors, Windows 7, and a reputed 10-hour battery life. Sort of like a laptop sans the keyboard, you might say, […]
