HP targets enterprise users with EliteBook Revolve convertible tablet




With the success of the iPad, it’s easy to forget that convertible units with a rotating hinge and physical keyboard were once the form factor of choice for tablet computers. While touchscreen-only devices now dominate the consumer space, convertible tablets continue to find a market, particularly amongst business and government users. It is these markets that HP is targeting with its latest touch-enabled convertible tablet, the EliteBook Revolve, which is due for a March, 2013 release.

Powered by third-generation Intel Core processors and with 4 Gb of RAM, the EliteBook Revolve features a touch-enabled, 11.6-inch, 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution display that pivots and twists to switch between traditional laptop and tablet form factors. The display is made from scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 2, while the all-magnesium chassis helps keep the unit’s weight down around 3.04 lb (1.37 kg) – that figure is based on the preproduction model, as is the estimated 22.4 mm thickness of the device.

The full-sized physical QWERTY keyboard features a backlight and is spill-resistant, while the screen orientation and brightness will adjust according to the unit’s position. Connectivity features include optional WWAN (LTE in the U.S. and HSPA+ elsewhere), secure NFC, Bluetooth, Ethernet port, two USB 3.0 ports and a DisplayPort.



Onboard storage comes in the form of a 256 GB SSD, with a 720p HD4 camera positioned above the display, a dual-microphone array, DTS Studio Sound and CyberLink’s YouCam software also on board. An optional pen is also available for touchscreen input. The battery should be good for eight to ten hours of use, and 210 hours of standby.

Although it has been optimized for Windows 8, HP will offer the option of preloading the EliteBook Revolve with Windows 7 for those not yet prepared to jump on the Metro train.

The EliteBook Revolve is that latest bid by HP to grab a slice of the growing enterprise tablet market. In October it announced the business-oriented ElitePad 900 boasting a rugged form factor and compatibility with Smart Jacket peripherals. The company has also announced a new Multi-Tablet Charging Module that can store and charge up to 10 tablet PCs with screen sizes under 10.1 inches from a single power outlet.

Like the ElitePad 900, the Multi-Tablet Charging Module will be available in the U.S. in January. It will be priced at US$499. Pricing of the EliteBook Revolve will be announced closer to its March, 2013 release date.

Acer claims the laptop would be available in US markets by Christmas or latest by January, but also confirms that there will be no SDK available for it until December, so you may have to live with limited customized software Acer has designed initially.

TOP Cele mai interesante gadgeturi din istorie

s1_ziare_comDe la roata la iPhone, orice inventie tehnica a fost considerata, la un moment dat, un gadget.

Iata cateva dintre cele mai interesante dispozitive de acest gen din toate timpurile, potrivit revistei Time:

3-D Etch-a-Sketch – 2009

Dispozitivul pentru desen are un element care il deosebeste de altele asemanatoare: poate desena in 3D, lucru vizibil doar daca purtati ochelarii speciali. Compania o2 Creative Solutions a fabricat Sketch 3-D in doar trei saptamani insa, deocamdata, nu este disponibil in magazine, fiind mai mult un “experiment artistic”, potrivit reprezentantilor firmei.

Primul calculator Macintosh – 1984:

Cu mult inainte de lupta dintre Mac si PC, Apple a lansat primul calculator personal de succes, bazat pe o interfata grafica. Pus in vanzare pe 24 ianuarie 1984, Macintosh costa 2.500 de dolari, fiind un aparat revolutionar, care a schimbat pentru totdeauna tehnolgia.

In loc de a introduce linii de comanda pentru a pune in miscare calculatorul, Mac folosea un mouse, primul din istorie, pentru a accesa diverse programe, prin intermediul icon-urilor.

Pentru lansarea sa, Apple a cheltuit 1,5 milioane de dolari pentru o reclama regizata de Ridley Scott, un moment de referinta in istoria publicitatii.

Videotelefonul AT&T – 1964:

Bell Labs a construit primul videotelefon din lume, in 1956. Numit Picturephone, acesta transmitea cate o imagine la fiecare doua secunde. In 1964, a fost adus la Expozitia Mondiala, unde vizitatorii puteau face teste, efectuand convorbiri intre New York si Disneyland.

De altfel, s-au efectuat teste timp de sase ani, iar o versiune comerciala a fost pusa in vanzare in 1970, in Pittsburgh. Compania de telefonie AT&T era sigura ca, pana in 1980, se vor vinde peste un milion de unitati, insa s-a dovedit ca oamenilor nu prea le placea dispozitivul destul de mare.

Chitara cu laser Prism – 2009:

In loc de corzile normale, chitara bass este dotata cu patru raze laser verzi. Se tine in mana ca orice chitara obisnuita, iar octavele pot fi schimbate cu ajutorul unor butoane. Se conecteaza la un amplificator traditional si nu are nevoie de nici un echipament suplimentar.

Prototipurile de touchscreen ale Apple – anii 1980:

Desi nu au ajuns niciodata pe piata, cele doua prototipuri continua sa inspire produsele Apple, fiind un fel de stramosi ai iPhone si iPod Touch. Dispozitivele au fost create de Hartmut Esslinger, caruia Steve Jobs, fondatorul Apple, i-a dat un milion de dolari. Esslinger este responsabil si pentru folosirea culorii albe la produsele Apple, precum si pentru design-ul elegant al acestora.

Potrivit unor zvonuri, Apple ar putea lansa un dispozitiv similar, mult mai avansat, in 2010.

Discul Rosetta – 2009:

Aproximativ 90% din limbile folosite in acest moment vor disparea in urmatorul secol potrivit expertilor. Din acest motiv, Proiectul Rosetta a adunat peste 13.000 de pagini de informatii, in 1.500 de limbi, pe un singur disc, de marimea unei monede.

Discul, care poate fi citit doar cu ajutorul unui microscop, contine si informatii despre limbile respective si oamenii care le utilizeaza.

Laptopul N80V vine de la Asus

asus_n80v-JBN

Asus continua sa ne prezinte noi modele, ultimul model prezentat publicului fiind N80V, un notebook fara performante deosebite, dar destul de util si la un pret decent.

Displayul LED are un design iesit din comun, ecranul este de 14“, si cele doua lucruri imbinate ofera modelului un plus de eleganta. Placa video NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS, cititorul Blu-Ray, cei 4 GB RAM si cititorul de amprente digital, fac ca prezentarea sa sa fie mai mult decat interesanta, avand in vedere ca laptopul este prezentat ca un model mediu, deci si pretul este in acelasi ton, nu foarte ridicat.

Alt lucru interesant este Express Gate, care permite un timp de boot de pana la 8 secunde, foarte util celor care nu vor sa piarda timp cu incarcarea lui Vista, si care se afla deja preinstalat in calculator.

Pretul laptopului nu este inca cunoscut; cel mai probabil va putea fi gasit pe piata la un pret de aproximativ 3000-3500 RON.

A860: un nou notebook lowcost de la Dell

Dell a anuntat lansarea lui Vostro A860 in Statele Unite, la un pret de plecare de 379$, aproximativ 1000 RON.

Notebook-ul dispune de un ecran de 15,6“, procesor Intel Celeron (sau Pentium Dual Core), chipset GM965 cu grafica integrata GMA X3100+, 1/2 GB DDR2, hard disk 120/160 GB, si unitate optica Combo. Displayul adopta tehnologia anti-glare si are o rezolutie de 1366×768 pixeli. Alte caracteristici: 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth optional, Ethernet LAN, modem 56k si doua porti USB.

Laptopul cantareste 2,5 Kg si va fi disponibil impreuna cu Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic sau Business, dupa cat de larg e buzunarul clientului. In Europa A860 nu va fi lansat.

Poliţia germană poate accesa calculatoarele personale!

În Germania, dacă eşti suspect, poliţia federală te poate virusa pentru a obţine informaţii din calculatorul tău. Acest drept a fost câştigat alături de altele în urma unui compromis între ministrul de interne şi parlament. Legea, controversată şi respinsă de o bună parte din parlamentari, este una dintre cele mai dure din Europa. În principiu, ea le dă posibilitatea poliţiştilor să infecteze calculatoarele suspecţilor cu un virus de tip troian care va transmite date despre informaţiile de pe harddisk. În plus, agenţii federali vor putea monta microfoane ascunse, fotografia casele suspecţilor, asculta telefoanele mobile şi le vor putea localiza.
Toate aceste acţiuni vor trebui însă aprobate de un judecător, chiar şi în cazuri de urgenţă, pentru a preveni folosirea lor în mod nefondat. Poliţia susţine că astfel de măsuri i-ar putea ajuta să descopere mai repede persoanele suspecte de terorism şi să protejeze astfel mai bine populaţia. Pe de altă parte mai mulţi parlamentari germani s-au opus legii, insistând că ea poate îngrădi libertăţi civile. În practică, noi credem că oricine se poate proteja împotriva unei astfel de infectări cu „viruşi poliţişti”. În plus, folosirea unui sistem de operare bazat pe Linux ar face extrem de dificilă misiunea poliţiştilor. Cei care ar trebui să se teamă sunt teroriştii fără cunoştinţe IT de bază.

Better Gmail 2 de la Google pentru Firefox

Better Gmail 2 este o extensie pentru Firefox care îţi permite să-ţi configurezi contul de Gmail atât din punct de vedere vizual, cât şi funcţional. Tot ce ai de făcut este să instalezi extensia şi să te joci cu opţiunile pe care le ai la dispoziţie.

La origine, Better Gmail 2 este o colecţie de mai multe script-uri de Greasemonkey. Pe tine însă, ca utilizator, nu te interesează acest lucru. Nu trebuie decât să instalezi extensia de aici şi să restartezi Firefox.

Accesul la opţiunile puse la dispoziţie de Better Gmail 2 se face urmând calea clasică pentru extensiile de Firfox: Tools, Add-ons şi dublu click pe extensia cu pricina. Pentru a vedea modificările făcute trebuie să dai refresh paginii sau tab-ului în care ai contul de Gmail deschis.

Better Gmail 2click pentru o versiune mai mareBetter Gmail 2 - optiuni

Efect de mouseover şi iconiţe pentru ataşamente: Dacă bifezi opţiunea Add Row Highlights din tab-ul Messages, vei activa un aşa-numit efect de mouseover. Adică mesajul peste care treci cursorul mouse-ului va avea altă culoare de fundal, pentru evidenţiere.

Better Gmail 2click pentru o versiune mai mareMouseover highlight

Sub aceasta, există altă opţiune interesantă. Dacă bifezi Attachment Icons, mesajele din Gmail vor fi însoţite de anumite iconiţe, în funcţie de tipul fişierelor ataşate. Aceste iconiţe apar chiar în lista de mesaje, ceea ce se dovedeşte foarte util pentru că îţi dai seama imediat ce fel de fişier e ataşat, după simbolul afişat.

Better Gmail 2Iconite pentru atasamente

Foldere în loc de label-uri şi conexiuni securizate

Better Gmail 2Label-uri ierarhizaSortarea mesajelor în Gmail constă în atribuirea aşa-numitor label-uri. Problema e că label-urile nu oferă posibilitatea organizării ierarhice, adică a creării unor sublabel-uri. Better Gmail 2 remediază această problemă dacă bifezi opţiunea Folders4Gmail din tab-ul Sidebar.

Exemplu. Am label-ul Test. Dacă vreau să creez un label (numit sublabel 1) care să aparţină de Test mă duc la Settings - Labels, iar la Create a new label scriu Test /sublabel 1 şi dau Create. Va fi creat automat label-ul sublabel 1 care va aparţine de Test .

Dacă eşti fanul iluziei numită securitate poţi bifa opţiunea Force Encrypted Connection din tab-ul General. În acest fel, Gmail va folosi mereu conexiunile securizate (https), în locul celor standard.

Curăţenie în sidebar: În tab-ul sidebar ai la dispoziţie mai multe opţiuni care te ajută scapi de elementele care îţi aglomerează coloana din dreapta. Dacă nu foloseşti Google Talk în Gmail în poţi ascunde bifând Hide Chat. Mai poţi ascunde căsuţa cu invitaţii şi numărul de spam-uri primite.

Teme: În tab-ul Skins poţi alege una dintre cele 4 teme disponibile sau poţi lăsa interfaţa standard. Cele 4 teme sunt: Air Skin, Gmail Blue, Grays and Blues şi Gmail Redesign. Fiecare are propria schemă de culori şi propriile elemente grafice. Alegerea uneia se face exclusiv pe criterii subiective, o alegi pe cea care-ţi place.

Better Gmail 2click pentru o versiune mai mareAir Skin

Better Gmail 2click pentru o versiune mai mareGmail Blue

Better Gmail 2click pentru o versiune mai mareGmail Redesign

Better Gmail 2click pentru o versiune mai mareGrays and Blues

Alte servicii Google incluse: Dacă bifezi opţiunea Show Collapsibile Calendar and Reader, cele două servicii Google vor fi şi ele incluse alături de (mai precis sub) Gmail. Vei avea trei module, ce pot fi restranse sau expandate după bunul plac, pentru cele trei servicii Google: Gmail, Calendar şi Reader. Cei care folosesc toate cele servicii, sau măcar două dintre ele, vor găsi foarte utilă această opţiune.

Better Gmail 2click pentru o versiune mai mareGmail + Calendar + Reader

Better Gmail 2 mai are şi alte opţiuni în afară cele enumerate de mine, însă acestea sunt cele mai importante. Pentru un user care foloseşte Gmail în mod curent şi este, în acelaşi timp, utilizator de Firefox, Better Gmail 2 este o extensie esenţială.
