The 13.3” laptop is made from a magnesium-alloy cover and features an unknown Intel processor along with Acer Always Connect which allows users to access data from other devices even when the laptop is sleeping. In addition, the laptop features USB 3.0, HDMI, and Thunderbolt ports that hide behind a unique “MagicFlip” panel."- notebookcheck

There's a 4,400mAh Li-polymer battery reportedly good for some 8.5 hours of video playback, and it'll be Android 4.0.1 running the show. The unit checks in with dimensions of 7.8- x 4.6- x 0.50-inches (and a weight of 14.2 ounces)"

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga- Windows 8 tablet/ultrabook?


"Due to ship at the Windows 8 launch, Lenovo’s groundbreaking IdeaPad Yoga notebook gives you the best of both worlds as its 13.3-inch clamshell design has a flexible lid that folds back 360 degrees, allowing you to use its touchscreen as a slate tablet or even a home Internet appliance. The sides of the notebook measure just .67-inches while the entire system weighs just 3.1 pounds, making the Yoga officially an Ultrabook. Inside, the Yoga has the same, comfy faux leather palm rest we’ve seen on the U300 and the same island-style keyboard. Component-wise, the IdeaPad Yoga will sport an Ivy Bridge CPU, up to a 256GB CPU, and up to 8GB of RAM"

The mysterious HP Spectre- turns out to be HP Envy Spectre (glass notebook), gosh it looks so nice


""So what does $1,400 get you, aside from a memorable design? We're told the laptop comes standard with a 14-inch, 1600 x 900 Radiance Display, Core i5-2467M CPU, 4GB of RAM, a nine-hour battery, backlit keyboard, carrying case and -- get this -- an NFC chip built into the palm rest for transferring URLs from your phone's browser. Other bells and whistles include Intel Wireless Display, HP's CoolSense technology, Beats, HP Wireless Audio, full copies of Photoshop and Premiere Elements and a two-year subscription to Norton Internet Security. Got that, guys? Upgrade options include a 256GB SSD and an extra 4GB of RAM, but other than that, what you see is what you get (and to be fair, you get a lot)."

Razer- Project Fiona


"The Fiona runs on a third generation Intel Core i7 processor and an undisclosed GPU. The prototype slab has a native 1280 x 800, 10.1-inch display."

Samsung 9 series- Its back (13"/15"), better than ever!

"This year's 13-inch model is also thinner and lighter than its predecessor, at 2.5 pounds and half an inch thick (down from 2.8 with a 0.64-inch-thick chassis). In addition to whittling the body, though, Samsung managed to shrink the footprint by squeezing a 13-inch display into a chassis whose dimensions more closely match a 12-inch system. What separates them from your garden-variety $900 box, though, is a solid unibody aluminum design and a heartbreakingly beautiful display: a 1600 x 900 panel with a matte finish (!) and 400 nits of brightness"



"Samsung 9 series (15") almost manages to match the 13-inch version in thinness: 0.58 inches thick versus half an inch for its little brother. And because Sammy crammed a 15-inch display into a 14-inch chassis, it doesn't particularly look like a 15-inch laptop."

Samsung Series 5 (15"/17") laptops- For Students, so they say

"300-nit display; and the resolution is fixed at 1600 x 900 for the 15-incher, and 1080p for the larger model. At the high end, they'll both be available with a Core i7 Ivy Bridge processor, JBL speakers, a 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M card with Optimus, an optional Blu-ray drive and up to 1TB in storage (2TB for the 17-inch version)"
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/samsung...o-arrive-durin/


Samsung Series 7 Gamer- Finally a gaming machine from Samsung


"Samsung is currently planning on offering just one configuration, with a Core i7 CPU, 2GB AMD Radeon HD6970M card, a 5,900mAh battery, JBL speakers and a 300-nit, 1080p display. For those who haven't seen this in action yet, it sports a backlit keyboard, with the all-important WASD keys conveniently highlighted in a different color, along with an analog dial for toggling power modes. On the outside, Samsung's logo glows with the help of an LED backlight, but disappears when the lid is shut."

Toshiba Excite X10- Thinnest 10-inch Tablet Yet

"The Excite is just 0.3 inches thick, and weighs just 1.2 pounds. That’s about 0.4 pounds lighter and about half an inch thinner than the Thrive. The Thrive will start at $499 and Toshiba says it will go on sale early this year. Read on more more details and check out the full gallery below.This seriously sleek tablet has a 10.1-inch Gorilla Glass display with a resolution of 1280 x 800, and will have an anti-smudge coating to resist fingerprints. The brightness of the display will also automatically adjust depending on lighting conditions."

Prepare antidote

Anyway, lee_what2004 sifu specifcally pointed out the Nvidia GTX660M GPU in the Lenovo Ideapad Y580 (with FullHD Summore )... any idea how's the performance of this new GPU? Or is it just another rebadged version from the previous 5xx series?

lenovo is a good buy... price so nice

ohwaiiii... the price starting at $899

must ignore this thread bcoz every post made in here is different poison #LOL

Personally I'm quite interested in the Asus Memo-Pad--> cute version of the Transformer Prime, and probably a direct competitor to Samsung's Galaxy Tab 7.7

GeForce 600 not DX11.1?

good to hear that...

if its DX11.1, why?

ultrabook pricy & almost same price with MACbook, why don't you buy macbook?

juz got a laptop with GTX 570M...

at least i can stay relevant for slightly longer...

okay, gimme that Transformer Prime with GPS fixed. uh, how much?

officially TF Prime do not come with GPS... Asus has removed it from the list of features...

the antenna is there, but signal is too weak to lock on...

the battle of ultrabook O.o

they all look so nice to me ><
