It appears that Samsung is planning world domination, well, at least when it comes to Ivy Bridge based notebooks, as the company has unveiled another three new models. What we’re looking at this time around is the more affordable Series 5 and more specifically the 550P sub-set which consist of 15 and 17-inch models.
Come next month, Intel will expand its range of mobile Ivy Bridge CPUs will some more dual core models as well as some new ULV models and although this in itself is no big secret, pricing of the upcoming models have now turned up. This gives us a good idea as to how Intel is positioning the various SKU's and it also makes for an easy comparison to the current models.
Brazos 2.0 has arrived, well, at least unofficially as Acer has started to sell its Aspire E1-421 in parts of Asia and it sports AMD's yet to be announced E1-1200 APU. The details are fairly slim at the moment, but the Aspire E1-421 is a budget notebook to every extent of the word.
It's not too often that a manufacturer pulls apart one of its products down to near component level and then explains in detail what it has done to create the product in question, but Samsung has decided to give us a peek inside its 13.3-inch Series 9 notebook. In all fairness it doesn't give away every little detail, but the Series 9 is no less impressive on the inside than one of Apple's MacBook Air's.
With more Ultrabooks coming to the market, consumers may be confused between them and the thin and light notebooks. HP had unveiled the stylish ENVY 14 Spectre at CES this year, but is this portable machine as good as it looks? VR-Zone finds out.
A report from Focus Taiwan confirms that much cheaper Ultrabooks are around the corner. The Ultrabook market has remained very pricey no thanks to expensive all-aluminum chassis' people could often care less about.

Intel's Ultrabook branding doesn't really matter all that much for some notebook makers, as they've been making ultra-thin notebooks for years and one of those companies are Sony. Despite this, Sony has announced a pair of VAIO T series Ultrabooks with 11.6 or 13.3-inch displays and a few other interesting features, but sadly Sony is about a month too early, as we end up with a Sandy Bridge CPU rather than Ivy Bridge.
Intel's Ivy Bridge processors for Ultrabooks aren't set to arrive for another month, but that hasn't stopped Samsung's UK branch to show off one of its upcoming Series 9 notebooks featuring one of the new processors. The NP900X4C as the model is known as is Samsung's first 15-incher in the Series 9 family of notebooks and it does come with at least a couple of noteworthy features for those looking for a larger Ultrabook.
When it comes to notebooks, Samsung has as yet to become a go to brand for most of us, but the company keeps improving and its Series 9 notebooks caught the attention of more than one notebook buyer. Now the company is trying to get into the already fairly crowded gaming notebook sector with its Series 7 Gamer and even though the company has a rather understated design, there's some serious hardware to be found inside the Series 7 Gamer.
According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, Apple will not be combining the iPad and Macbook Air into a new product. Cook compares Microsoft's decision to run Windows 8 on multiple products to meshing a refrigerator and toaster.

Lenovo Singapore has announced the launch of their quad-core IvyBridge products - the IdeaCentre A720 all-in-one PC, IdeaPad Y480 and ThinkPad Edge E430 laptops. The A720 claims to incorporate a foldable screen with 10-point multi-touch for comfortable use; the IdeaPad Y480 is designed to bring high-performance entertainment, while the stylish ThinkPad Edge E430 is targeted at business users.
