Sony now updates the VAIO S series by introducing a new member to the series--one with a bigger, 15-inch screen and a decent graphics card. What is particularly interesting with this laptop is not only that it's 3 capable (without glasses) but that it weighs just over 4 pounds (2 kg). It's not ...

As a side note to all readers out there with an Alienware M14x, Dell has just dropped version A05 of the BIOS for their 14-inch gaming machine. There's only one change in the new BIOS (at least in the change log), but it is one that makes it more than worthwhile taking the time to update. One thing ...

Nvidia has stated that it will not be able to sell graphics chips based on 28nm technology this year, but according to some product details that have appeared online we shouldn't have to wait very long. The graphics card manufacturer has a dozen new mobile GPUs on the way in the N13 series, which ...

Razer has been busy building hype around a new, until Friday unannounced, product using the domain name 'pcgamingisnotdead.com'.

That's not bad at all ...

Pigs do fly even outside of Pink Floyd concerts, apparently. There's no question that Samsung builds high-end TVs and clever Android phones, but high-end laptops? Not so much. Although to be fair, the Korean giant has been stretching the boundaries lately with a MacBook Air competitor called Series ...

We mentioned the MSI GT 683DXR a while back. Now it has finally started to ship and it seems to be flying off the shelves. The main attraction in the 15.6-inch GT683DXR as opposed to the GT683R is of course that it comes with the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570M--a GPU that represents a significant step ...

HP recently rolled out the brand new AMD Llano APUs in the AMD version of the HP Pavilion laptop, the dv6z. It is a considerably more affordable alternative to the dv6t, which also use AMD graphics but Intel on the processor side.That begs the question if it's a worthwhile trade-off; AMD still ...
