To the Ultrabook label may be used, a notebook to meet a number of requirements from Intel, although a certain level of performance and ensure pleasant user experience, but also the price increase. For more notebooks to the man to bring out the manufacturers with copies that do not have all the luxurious amenities of Ultrabooks capability but the slick appearance of these models. HP does so under the predicate Sleekbook.

The Ultrabook requirements that include notebooks HP pavilion dv7 battery , in order to obtain this label, some Intel components on board must have one energy efficient Intel Core processor is the most important. It should in addition to a number of other requirements. For example, a laptop among other thin and fast to boot. The latter is just as Intel-a costly requirements , a fast boot media is required, or at least an accelerated medium such as a hard disk caching. Let manufacturers that part away because of the price level, then they must have a different name for this thin notebooks invent.

So you have HP Sleekbooks with AMD processor, but also with an Intel Core i3 chip as in the device we are discussing today: an Ultrabook that does not quite meet the requirements and therefore should be cheaper than a real Ultrabook . The HP pavilion dv4 battery Sleekbook b14-B000ed (C5R96EA) costs an average of 599 euros. For that money, few Ultrabooks available, all makes Acer S3 with its all a nice attempt. In this case, the reason that it is not a HP Ultrabook may call the absence of a rapid start-up SSD.

Apart from that, HP g7000 battery is an average boarding Ultrabook. 14 inches tall with a 1366x768 TN panel with a shiny finish and no touch. With 14 inches, he is slightly more compact than a regular laptop that is generally equipped with a 15.6 inch screen. That makes him something manageable. The weight of 1.8 kg is average for a laptop of this size. The housing is made of plastic, bottom matte and shiny black top.

The processor is coupled with an Intel HM77 chipset. On the board there is room for two memory modules, one of which is filled with a DDR3-1600 memory. The hard drive comes from the factory of Hitachi and is a 5400 RPM model with a storage capacity of 500 GB. The slim shape of the laptop is made possible because a DVD burner is omitted.

In 2013, the rumor mill is cooking for the PS4 at full bore: In an internet forum user published a text of a patent application filed by Sony. Contains the details of a new technique that Sony wants to prevent the resale of games explicitly. Was delivered with key card game communicates accordingly - probably about the new wireless technology, Near Field Communication (NFC) - with the console and the game permanently assigned to the device used so that it only runs on this. Every time you start asking the console releases the stored on the card machine-game combination - a resale would be excluded.

Whether on the 9th December 2012 patent filed by Sony VGP-BPS13A/Q Japan in the Playstation 4 is used is unclear, seems far-fetched but not the radical step. After all, Nintendo also binds already Wii U user accounts permanently to a terminal. However, this approach raises troubling questions: Will the PS4 be permanently connected to the Internet? What happens when a device is defective? The consequences for the used market would be beyond devastating and the Playstation 4 might lose some potential buyers.

Another rumor is true hardware-hungry positive contrast: the release of the console is possibly imminent. After Microsoft has launched a countdown suspect that suggests the announcement of the Xbox 720, Sony blurted out today with a mysterious invitation. Under the slogan 'Destination Playstation' the company asks a media report, selected representatives of the U.S. press and retailers to an event in the U.S. state of Arizona. Of 25 to 28 February 2013 Sony presents therefore novelties around the topic Playstation. Whether covering only the introduction of new games as well or going to the unveiling of the Playstation 4, remains to be seen.

The production of the PlayStation 2 is set, now it's time for Sony's PlayStation 4, codenamed Orbis - at least this is the starting point for many new speculations on the next generation of PlayStation.

Its central point: Sony VGP-BPS13A/R could publish in February at the annual, consolidated own event destination Playstation first details for Orbis. The Destination Playstation held from 25 to 28 February. Could the first info on the new console at the event but only trading partners are shown.

A presentation to the public seems unlikely: latest rumors about the next-gen consoles, according to Sony is not the development of Orbis gone so far as Microsoft, most recently was even an appearance of the next Xbox in the fall of 2013, and a release of the PlayStation Orbis up to 6 months later speculated.

According to rumors in the new Sony VGP-BPS13B/Q Playstation 4 or Playstation Omni is an AMD processor with integrated graphics core plug that is only supported by a graphics chip from the latest AMD Radeon HD 7000-series. A patent that Sony has already been granted in 2010, describes the dynamic and automatic switching between two different graphics chips depending on the requirements in the background. The user should note the change of anything.

Sony VGP-BPS13/Q wants in this way reduce the energy consumption of the corresponding device, which is not named. Since the Playstation 4 will be probably conceived not only as a pure gaming console but also as a media player or Internet box, GPU switching would be a useful feature. The alleged use of AMD APU and graphics chip would be well suited for this function also. More to the next console from Sony, there may already be heard in late February when Sony an event titled 'Destination Playstation' keeps.

Dell is introducing two new Ultrabooks with the name Dell xps 14 battery and XPS 15th The two super-thin laptops come in contrast to the currently available Dell XPS 13 is not only updated with the latest Ivy Bridge processors from Intel and dedicated Nvidia graphics chips, but also the display to Dell.

While the Dell XPS 13 installed a 13.3-inch display with a standard resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels, the new XPS models in aluminum housing, a 14 - and 15.6-inch display with the durable Gorilla Glass be used. To set the picture, despite increased screen size as little pixelated look, the manufacturer uses in the XPS 14 on a panel with a resolution of 1,600 x 900 pixels, even the XPS 15 features a full-HD display.

For the pixels creating the XPS 14 engages back to a dedicated graphics in the form of the Nvidia GT 630M, which however is based on the not-so-fresh Fermi architecture. Alternatively, there's the laptop without dedicated graphics. Dell xps 15 battery also either the GT 630M or GT 640M expects stronger with 2 GB of video memory from the current-generation Kepler. Both notebook models engage in low load graphics via Nvidia's Optimus technology back to the low-power HD 4000 in the Intel processors. The older XPS 13, however, only has access to the comparatively weak Intel HD 3000.

The XPS 14 with the dinuclear Core i7-3667U (or i7-3517U, i5-3427U, i5-3317U) stores up to 500 GB of data on a hard drive, 512 GB on a SSD or 532 GB on a HDD-SSD combo .

XPS-15-prospects with less money, there is the new Dell machine with 500 GB to 1-TB drive 32 GB flash memory or just a 1-TB hard drive with no flash.

The CPU models in the large XPS does not come from the power-saving ULV series from Intel, but with the quad-core Core i7-3612QM or the two Kernern i7-3520m, i5-3320m and i5-3210m, each with a 6cell Dell studio xps 16 battery power consumption of 35 watts from the chip series of regular notebooks. Thus, the mobile processors approve more than twice as much power as the Core i CPUs in the XPS 14 (17 watt TDP). Taking a look at the altitude of the XPS 15, you'll notice, however, that the device is no longer with his Ultrabook 23.2 millimeters, strictly speaking, but a very slim notebook. The XPS 14 is 4 to 8 GB of RAM, the XPS 15 up to a whopping 16 GB of RAM possible.

Besides the normal XPS-14-series, Dell also still WWAN versions of the 14-inch device. Mobile Broadband or Wireless Wide Area Network, ie including for mobile radio standards such as UMTS or LTE and the newer and more upbeat. The XPS 14 with the addition WWAN differs so far from the regular XPS 14 as you surf with him not only by n-Fi, but also outside in the UMTS network (HSPA + up).

The other distinguishing features are the height, the design, the total memory and the graphics card configuration. Thus, the XPS 14 is thick with UMTS 23.2, comes with either 500 GB HDD or 512 GB SSD and gives graphical computations on the Intel HD 4000 continues - the stronger GeForce GT 630M does not Dell. The back of Dell dressed in the full-grain leather, this species is of high quality and of course, because it shows the skin irregularities of the animal. What makes for an unusual feel is visually but certainly not necessarily everyone's thing.
