I speak the truth! I predicted this only a few months ago! http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13970_7-57385002-78/get-more-from-your-mobile-with-the-asus-padfone/ A phone that can be used in a tablet shell and further in a laptop shell! Asus is first to market with this, arguably not going to make any real money off of it, but this proof of concept like device is the future in the grow smartphone, tablet hungry market. Another company like Sony, HTC, Apple, Motorola needs to make a copycat to popularize...

I reckon gdgt should extend the categories list to include computer components here is why.
computer hardware forums are full of passionate users who all list what they have, wouldn't it be good for gdgt to have there embedded widget on there.
A later step could be a system builder, build your dream system, this is my system etc.
could branch out and connect with other sites like tom's hardware just like they do with engadget.
components and mods have a huge community, bringing some of that over...
The US Copyright Office in 2010, stated Jailbreaking iOS devices is legal. Now this exemption is running out. I would like to hear what you think about rooting or jailbreaking. I'm doing some research of my own and want any information, whether you oppose Jailbreaking/Rooting or you're in favor, I want to know. Please be as detailed as possible when replying, so that your comment is not misconstrued.
I'm looking for such a tablet, but none of the manufacturer's seem to specify the brightness nits in their specs and none of the reviews address this aspect.
After examining an actual unit, I went for a Mac Mini 2010 instead and am very pleased. Sure it cost more and it's worth more. If you're on a budget, however, the Asus may be for you, and I prefer its build quality to the Acer near-twin.
My only complaint about this monster of a laptop is the screen is not very good. Refresh rate is great but its a little bit washed out, blacks are more grey and off axis viewing is terrible. But otherwise it is a super fast, well built and well prices laptop!
*** This post originally appeared in the gdgt weekly newsletter. Sign up here: http://gdgt.com/newsletter/ *** Yes, a ridiculous number of tablets were announced at CES last week. We highlighted a bunch of them in last week's email, and even those were just scratching the surface. It can be a bit overwhelming, but I actually think this flood of tablets -- even if many of them are undifferentiated offerings that look like they were rushed out the door for a trade show -- is a good thing....

76 Link at: http://www.jessebandersen.com/2011/01/where-to-fin... I couldn't read the page... but managed to go through the checkout process. Paypal made it a lot easier. :-) I hope to get it in about a week or two. Since it has a browser I bet it could work with Google Books.
This thing is going to have a battery life of 45 minutes (I don't think they've actually said the battery life, yet). And all for the low, low price of $1,000 US. Maybe I'm just being a curmudgeon, but I'm feeling like this thing is dead on arrival. Anyone else?
The original ICS update for the Asus Transformer started rolling out almost 2 months ago. It was met with users reporting device reboot loops, poor battery performance, and app crashes. Asus has since released a software update (March 13th - version 9.2.1.17) to try and combat these problems. Some users are reporting that the initial problems are still present, some are reporting it has been fixed. Given the last month to consider, how have you found the update to be? Was it a big jump from...
Looking to buy a new monitor (around 24") to use as an external for coding on my MacBook Air but I haven't really paid attention to them in a while. It looks like all the reasonably-priced ones on Newegg are 1920x1080. Is that pretty much the norm these days or should I look for something better? Also, recommendations would be appreciated.
I want to have a new good gaming laptop. So, I make my personal research about the best gaming laptop that I can get with my limited budget. and I just read at http://www.theamazingzones.com/alienware-am14x-6667bk-vs-asus-g53sx-xa1-hardware-comparison-review/ about Alienware Am14x vs Asus G53SX-XA1 hardware comparison, I know both laptop is good, but I want the best that I can get with my money. Are that comparison accurate ?
Hey guys. Need a favor. I'd like to upgrade from my trusty Dell Inspiron 1427 laptop. Let me know any suggestions you have for a Midrange laptop (13-15 inches / 4Gb Memory/ 320 to 500Gb HDD/ midrange graphics card) and if it has an option for a backlit keyboard..
I'm looking for a laptop. But here's what I'm looking for: These are a must: NFC DLNA Bluetooth at least 1 USB 3.0 port but must have at least 2 usb ports An HDMI port (In and out if possible touch screen (possibly a convertible laptop) and a camera (for video chat. i don't plan on sing this for photography. it looks stupid) Can't be over 14 in in width, High-Res Display. Optical drive not necessary. looking for a thin laptop. Core i5 or i7 cpu, max out ram at 8 GB (can't sit pretty t 4 gb or ram) 1 gb...

[I would prefer an Android-based tablet since I'm already familiar with that platform.]
By "best tablet" I mean, which is the most reliable and intuitive device for running PowerPoint? What about connecting the tablet to a projector? Do they all have mini HDMI? Of course I wouldn't be designing the presentations on the tablet, simply running them.
I'm in the market for a new laptop after three years. Now I'm the kinda guy who doesn't mind spending a couple hundred dollars more right now to get something that seems like overkill at the present, so long as it keeps me chugging along at a decent pace for two or three years. Basically, I don't like to throw down money for a new gadget every year. This brings me to my question: Are there any decent touchscreen laptops available these days? I ask because it's patently obvious that that's the...

I'm not looking for anything too special. But cheap would be nice. I wouldn't say I need a huge hard drive, as I don't hold much on it, and the one I currently have is like 100GB and it has served me fine. I would like to stick with Windows 7.. The only little thing I might want would be a somewhat decent video card, as from time to time I still get random urges to play games.
Ok I know that this gets asked a lot but Ive never asked it. Ive use windows my hole life I have a ASUS 1201E Ive add 4 gigs of ram, put in a SSD I have out grow this little thing! I've been looking at the Mac book Pro 13in but just cant find a reason to get that over anything else. I do not care much for the looks and I use Android for my phone and tablet. But watching twit tonight everyone had one. Im in school for math and computer SC so I'm learning to wright code. But $1400 is a lot to...
So I'm gonna be in the market for a new laptop in the next few months and I've been leaning more and more towards Lenovo. My current laptop is an Asus and it was a steal for the specs it gave me three years ago. However, it gave me more than a fair share of problems during these last three years, with two faulty optical drives and an overheating GPU problem that wasn't rectified even with a replacement. From what I've learned of other people's experiences with Dell, they're not much better. All...

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a new laptop this weekend since my current laptop, the Asus F3SC ( http://gdgt.com/asus/f3sc/ ), is really starting to show its age. As far as my ideal laptop, the specs I'd like are: 1. 14" widescreen 2. At least 4GB of RAM 3. Dedicated video card with 1GB of memory 4. At least one USB 3.0 5. GOOD Build Quality. 6. HDD should just be at least 500GB. 7. Decent battery life. I'm leaning towards the Asus N43JF-A1 (...

I honestly don't see the point of Chrome OS when you can use Honeycomb on a tablet or one that turns into a netbook like the Asus Transformer. I think it would be much smarter to put Chrome as the default web browser in Android and for Google to just push Android in the netbook/tablet market. What do you guys think? I think Google's cannibalization it's own OSs by having Chrome OS and Android compete with each other in the OS space...
