ACER ANDROID-CANDY FOR $ 400

In this regard, not the best perception of consumers of Windows 8 as well as the dominance of Android in the rapidly growing smartphone market, manufacturers are increasingly eyeing the mobile OSes like Google OS and desktop computers and laptops. A good example is the recently announced Android-Notebook HP Slatebook X2 .

In addition to many familiar interface and multiple applications (including decent office), this platform provides the advantage of not having to pay large royalties to Microsoft and use the powerful stuffing. And in the end it seriously reduces the final cost of the device.

That's a new candy bar Acer will cost about $ 400, despite the fact that his "brain" will be the newest chip Intel Haswell Core i5 4430 processor with a clock frequency of 3 GHz. We also know that an inexpensive candy bar is equipped with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory, and the diagonal of its screen is 21.5 inches.

Monoblock Acer - this is just one of the first signs. Rather, its Android-desktops and laptops during the Computex 2013 show, and other manufacturers. Previously, Intel promised that very soon there will be Android-selling laptops on the platform Bay Trail cost only $ 200-300.

Toshiba delivers Portege Z10t Ultrabook laptop with detachable tablet mode

While Windows 8 has been available for several months now, Toshiba has just released its first business laptop using the new(ish) operating system in the form of the Portege Z10t, an Ultrabook that features a detachable display to provide tablet functionality.

The Z10t joins a bevy of Windows 8 convertible devices like the Dell XPS 12 and Lenovo Yoga 11Sand ThinkPad Helix that hope to marry the productivity of a laptop with the media-consumption convenience of a tablet. It's built around a 11.6-inch 1080p IPS touchscreen display with Corning Concore Glass, and a digitizer pen for easier inputting comes standard. Its innards include an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, 4GB of RAM, and either a 128GB or 256GB solid-state drive.

The screen attaches to a locking hinge that's combines with a LED-backlit, spill-resistant keyboard and touchpad for Windows 8's gestures support. The total package is a mere 0.49 inches thick and weighs just 1.91 pounds. Though it ships with Windows 8 Pro, Toshiba points out that it will also support Windows 7 in both its 32- and 64-bit varieties. Other business-friendly features are Active Management Technology (AMT) and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support.

The impressive package doesn't come cheap, however. The starting configuration with 128GB SSD will run $1,499 when it becomes available soon. While the company's press release says the Protege Z10t should be ready to order on Toshiba's web site, it does not appear available yet. Will it be worth the wait at that price?

How can I fix an IP conflict

Often this occurs when the network or part of a network is not using DHCP to automatically assign IP addresses to computers, and something on the network has been manually assigned the same IP address as you.

If you're computer has DHCP enabled, often rebooting the computer allowing it to get a new address assigned to it will resolve the issue.

If you're not sure if you're using DHCP or are using a static IP address, either try to locate the computer or device using the IP address or manually change your IP address to something else.  For example, if the address was 192.168.1.105 changing it to 192.168.1.112.

How do I password protect my files and folders in Windows

The majority of Microsoft Windows operating systems do not come with a method of password protecting your sensitive files and folders. If you're using Microsoft Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows 98, you will need to download or purchase a third-party program to password protect your files and folders in Windows; skip down to the other security solutions section if you're using one of these operating systems.

Acer Haswell AIO Android PC Spotted; Reveal Next Week

An Acer AIO PC sporting Android and a Core i5 "Haswell" CPU has been spotted on multiple retailer websites.

Online electronics retailer PC Connection is currently listing an Acer all-in-one (AIO) PC featuring an Intel Core i5-4430 "Haswell" CPU clocked at 3.0 GHz, and 1 GB of RAM. There's nothing else on the listing to indicate what platform it will use, the size of the screen or how much it will cost. However CNET reports that it's an Android-based AIO that Acer plans to announce next week.

According to the report, the Acer DA220HQL AIO PC will be priced just around $400 at most retailers. CompSource is listing the Android computer as well, but for $391 USD. This listing shares a few more details such as 8 GB of internal storage, Android 4.0 at the very least, 6 MB of L3 cache and 1 GB of DDR3 SDRAM. The display will be 21.5 inches, the listing reveals.

Unfortunately for Microsoft, the disappointing reception of Windows 8 has pushed ODMs to seek out new life in alternative platforms, and the Android/Intel combo will reportedly become an increasing trend during the second half of 2013. Android is a highly attractive platform because it is license free, and already comes packed with a library of apps, games, movies, TV shows, music and more through Google Play.

Last month former CEO Paul Otellini hinted to the wave of Android devices that are on the way, reporting that notebook prices should soon reach $200. Most of these will be based on Google's Android platform and Intel's Atom mobile processor, not Windows 8or ARM-based chips.

Even more, Dadi Perlmutter, Intel executive vice president and chief product officer, said at the time that Android devices running the company's mainstream Core processors could sell for as little as $399 to $499. Even some high-end Atom-based devices could extend to that price range as well.

Just this week Samsung reportedly signed a deal with Intel to use the chip maker's 32 nm "Clover Trail+" Atom mobile chip in at least one version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.0 10.1-inch tablet. It was supposedly spotted on benchmarks last week, sporting theAtom chip and Android 4.2.2. This tablet was designated as the Santos 103 and with the product number GT-P5200; the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 was dubbed as the GT-P5100 before it was released.

A large number of Android devices are expected to be announced alongside Intel's introduction of its "Haswell" line of fourth-generation processors during COMPUTEX 2013 this month. Like other ODMs, Acer can still reveal its new Android-based AIO without uncovering the actual processor.

The Core i7-4770K Review: Haswell Is Faster

Intel's Haswell architecture is finally available in the flagship Core i7-4770K processor. Designed to drop into an LGA 1150 interface, does this new quad-core CPU warrant a complete platform replacement, or is your older Sandy Bridge-E system better?

Do you know what it’s like to be at the top of your game, the nearest competitor several strides behind? Well, maybe not. But Intel sure does. When it comes to desktop CPUs, the company’s top-end parts continue to stave off AMD's best efforts. That applies to raw performance and efficiency.

We love fast, and we love efficient. But we also like to see healthy competition driving innovation. And again, on the desktop, there’s not enough of that to push Intel. Ivy Bridge-based CPUs are generally a small step up from the generation prior. And although the Sandy Bridge architecture included a number of notable improvements, unprecedented integration gave away Intel’s growing focus on mobility. Even as we got our hands on great features like Quick Sync, Intel was chiseling away at its enthusiast equity by limiting overclocking to K-series SKUs.

Expect more of the same from Haswell. You're going to see notable per-clock performance improvements, faster graphics, and additional features able to accelerate specific workloads. But you’re also going to witness a clumsy handling of overclocking (again), some strange decisions on the graphics side (again), and incremental gains that’ll have some of us upgrading our desktops, but more folks looking for Haswell-powered mobile platforms.

That's entirely by design, by the way. An emphasis on power is front and center with Haswell. And as a result, this architecture is going to span the broadest range of devices Intel has ever touched with one design. But I’ll argue that enthusiasts on the desktop take a back seat to make it all possible.

Meet Haswell, Now Known As Intel’s Fourth-Gen Core Architecture

Intel is rolling out the details of its Haswell-based processors in a staggered launch. The company plans to ship multiple variations of the architecture across a number of different interfaces, from very low-power segments to very performance-sensitive ones. However, the only arrangement emerging today is the quad-core SoC. Technically, Intel is talking desktop and mobile, though we’re deliberately focusing on the Core i7-4770K desktop CPU. I published a preview of Core i7-4770K’s performance almost three months ago, and that story has some information about Intel’s plans as well.

Yes, these are pricey, but in our view you get enough features to warrant the extra investment. The tangle-free cord actually lives up to its billing – many don’t – and while the sportclip design has been modified from the previous model, it still offers a secure fit even when worn under a cycling helmet*. Sound is even better than before, keeping the excellent noise isolation and deep, intense bass of yore, but with added detail and clarity. Last but not least, with a hygienic, anti-microbial coating and sealed housing, they’re easy to keep clean and sweat free.

Can you tell the difference in this Lumia 925 vs. 928 video comparison?

Nokia has enough flagship devices in the market that it can finally start competing with itself when it comes to camera performance. Yes, we know the cameras on the Lumia 920 and Lumia 928 are not absolutely perfect, but they are top performers by any measure and we presume that performance will be at least as good or better with the Lumia 925, which has the distinction of bearing six lenselements in its camera assembly.

Pared with optical image stabilization, Nokia has created some highly capable cameras on these smartphones. They take great pictures and shoot very nice video. While we have seen some instances of the Lumia 925 strutting its stuff against the venerable Lumia 920, it is only natural that Nokia’s newest will eventually face each other as well.

The folks at SuperHDView have taken a short video sample of the two super-Lumia’s side-by-side as they panned across the landscape.

Having viewed the sample several times in full HD, we could not see any difference, can you?  Naturally, we will have an in-depth review of the Lumia 925 in due course, and we will be able to share our insights on its camera performance in great detail with you.
