Getting to finally play with a touchable Windows 8 device, and one by a company that I will unabashedly admit is one of my favorites, […]
Back in April, I was fairly harsh on Dell for dropping out of the tablet race. The massive PC maker had promised to come back late this year, and it looks like IFA is going to be a coming out party for the new devices. Except there’s not a true tablet in the bunch, and […]
Last night, Microsoft unveiled its attempt to compete with Apple’s iPad. The Microsoft Surface tablet (technically Surface 2.0 because the name is repurposed from Microsoft’s original table-top touch-screen device) comes in two flavors: an nVidia Tegra 3 ARM CPU based version running Windows RT and an Intel Core i5 CPU based version running full-blown Windows […]
