Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 

With lenovo k900,lenovovibe x,lenovoa850,lenovo p780,lenovos920,lenovo a390 and again Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 is one of a best production if lenovo company.The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 is an excellent ultrabook, even without digging into its hybrid capabilities. This new model adds a backlit keyboard and an impressive 3,200x1,800-pixel-resolution display, while keeping the price under $1,000.
 In battery life it lags behind a couple of more expensive higher-res laptops, some of the hybrid modes are of dubious use, and Lenovo still doesn't know what to do with the keyboard in tablet mode.

The all-around best-in-class example of a first-generation Windows 8 hybrid was the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, a clever fold-back laptop-turned-tablet that was almost universally liked in both its 13-inch and 11-inch versions (let's just not mention the 11-inch Windows RT variant). It's a tough act to follow, but the flagship for the Windows 8.1 era may well be the IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro.

If you're not familiar with how the Yoga line works, it masquerades as an ordinary thin clamshell laptop, but the lid and display fold back a full 360 degrees to form either a thick tablet, or a stand/kiosk device when only folded partway back. That basic hook applies to both the original and updated models.

How exactly does the Yoga 2 top the original? The star of the show is an ultrahigh-res 13.3-inch display, with a native resolution of 3,200x1,800 pixels. That puts the Yoga 2 in similar territory to the Toshiba Kirabook, the MacBook Pro with Retina Display, the Chromebook Pixel, the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus, and a handful of others. That's an especially notable improvement, as the original Yoga had a 1,600x900-pixel display, which was not what one would expect from a modern $1,000 laptop.

Acer Chromebook C720P

Acer Chromebook C720P 

To love a Chromebook, you have to understand that the idea of a "laptop" is changing. We're somewhere between tablet and PC now, phone-style speed computing and an older, more old-fashioned computer. Chrome OS -- Google's browser-based, all-cloud operating system -- tries to bridge the gap, and you get a laptop-style device that's really just a fully-featured super-browser with a keyboard, storage and Webcam attached.

But for some of you, that may well be enough -- especially if you're splitting time between a Chromebook and another device (a PC, a tablet, or a smartphone).

Chromebooks have limitations, but they also have advantages: speed, easy cloud set-up, and -- hopefully -- price. That's the key point with the Acer Chromebook C720P: it's $299, and comes with all the extras you'd hope for: USB, HDMI, 32GB of onboard storage (with an SD slot for additional expansion), and even a touch screen -- something that only exists elsewhere in the Chromebook universe in the $1,300 Chromebook Pixel.

Compared with the HP Chromebook 11 -- which I already liked -- and the Toshiba Chromebook, this Acer's a feature-packed bargain. It may be the best Chromebook I've ever seen. That doesn't change what it is: a touch-enabled update to the Acer Chromebook C720 that's been around for a few months. But battery improvements, Chrome OS improvements, and a combination of extra storage and a touch screen make this Chromebook package a lot more palatable than its predecessors: the mid-2013 C710 and 2012 C7 Acer Chromebooks.



HP Pavilion x360

HP Pavilion x360 

BARCELONA, Spain -- One of the few laptop-style devices at MWC 2014 is the HP Pavilion x360, an 11.6-inch hybrid that switches between clamshell and tablet modes thanks to a 360-degree hinge.

If that hinge mechanism looks familiar, that's because it's very similar to the one found on the popular line of Yoga laptops from Lenovo, as well as me-too models from Dell and others. The idea of the 360-degree hinge is that you can use the system as a traditional laptop, then bend the lid backward, stopping at a kiosk or table tent form in the middle, or else folding it all the way back into a tablet shape.

Like the Yoga line, you still have the keyboard and touch pad exposed in tablet mode, deactivated, but under your fingers.

HP's pitch for the Pavilion x360 is a little different than Lenovo's for the high-end, premium-priced Yoga, which starts at around $1,000. Instead, HP's version starts at $399, which means it runs Intel Celeron or current-gen Atom chips, rather than the more mainstream Core i-series CPUs (although that's honestly fine for an 11-inch laptop).

HP says the x360 is aimed at millennials looking for a single device for work and play, and one goal for this system was to produce an affordable convertible that's accessible to anyone.

The system weighs around 3 pounds and is 21.9 millimeters thick. It features the same Beats Audio technology as the rest of HP's consumer laptop line, up to 8GB of RAM, and a 500GB hybrid hard drive. There are three USB ports, as well as 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The Pavilion x360 will be available starting February 26, initially in red, later in smoked silver, both with a soft-touch finish and brushed-metal wrist rest.

SONY BDP-S590

Shopping for a Blu-ray player has changed considerably over the past couple of years. In the past, as you stepped up the model ladder, you gained features such as Internet apps, network media streaming and HD audio decoding. Now those features are available even in entry-level models, leaving the feature list separating the low end from the high end very lean indeed. But recently, 4K came along and changed things.


4K – which some call Ultra High Definition – promises resolution four times that of our 1080p televisions and, some believe, could end up being the next major evolution in home television. In fact, companies such as Sony are banking on it. Not only has Sony done all it can to pave 4K’s way into commercial movie theaters, but it’s also sneaking 4K into the home market by incorporating 4K up-scaling into its top-of-the-line Blu-ray players.


Ironically, this feature provides no practical benefit for anyone now because the only commercially available 4K-capable display devices usually have the very same up-scaling feature built in. However, this ahead-of-its-time technology has provided companies with a new feature that justifies a certain price spread among player models. In short, 4K is your friend because it has helped drive down the price of fully featured Blu-ray players.

Minimalist space adventure Forma.8 coming in 2014

Indie studio MixedBag is working on a minimalist space adventure called Forma.8 on a variety of consoles, computers and handhelds, the company announced today. The two-person team at Turin, Italy-based MixedBag came up with the initial concept for Forma.8 more than two years ago, and since then the project has grown from an idea for a touchscreen control scheme into a full-fledged action adventure game. 

Forma.8 takes place in the far future and concerns an eponymous exploration probe that is stranded on an alien planet. Beneath the planet's surface is an energy source that Forma.8 must recover in order to survive after the probe was separated from its cohorts. There's no dialogue in Forma.8, and the probe begins the game with no weapons or powers; the player must acquire them
