When Lenovo announced its 2-in-1 Yoga hybrid series of laptops, it got people talking, but the above average prices didn’t really get too many people buying. Users were waiting for something that offered essentially the same thing the Yoga series did but at a price that didn’t make them feel like they were making a ritualistic sacrifice of their wallets…. and that’s exactly what Dell has come up with. Dell’s new Inspiron 11 3000 is basically a stripped down version of the company’s $1,200 XPS 11, leaving in only the essential technologies with a $500 price tag. In addition to that, Dell also managed toRead More →

During the quarter, AppleRead More →

In addition to the recently announced lineup of Samsung Chromebooks, Google Advertising has found another new way to market these devices to consumers.

In a surprising turn of events, Lenovo has released official pricing information on its ThinkPad Tablet 2, the same tablet that is expected to be running Windows 8 Pro. This is surprising because PC makers don’t typically release this kind of information on models that have yet to be released, at least not without having a few teeth pulled first. According to the company, the new tablet will have a launch day price scheme of $799 when it comes out on October 26, the same day as the Windows 8 operating system. This price will also include a keyboard, which could tip the balance ofRead More →
