Samsung Needle Slim LED TV

Posted in Samsung by Conner Flynn on October 26th, 2009

Samsung Needle Slim LED TVLike a young gal with a modeling contract, LED TVs just keep getting unhealthily thinner. It won’t be long before TVs are little more than sheets of paper on our walls. The Samsung Needle Slim model is a 40″ full HD LED backlight TV that measures just 3mm thick.

That’s pretty impressive when you consider that this 120Hz LCD panel has a 5,000:1 contrast ratio as well. It isn’t available to the masses just yet, but maybe Samsung will roll it out sometime soon.

JVC SP-FT 31mm thin home theater speaker systemThe problem with super thin HDTVs is that your bulky speakers tend to stand out like a sore thumb. Well, JVC has the cure with the above pair of 31mm thin speaker satellites. The SP-FT1 comes in black and the SP-FT2 in white with the AX-FT amplifier in the middle.

The amp delivers 80W of total output over 4 independent channels, and supports Dolby Digital, DTS and AAC formats. Expect to pay around ¥24,000 (or $267) for the amp and ¥20,000 (or $223) for the speakers when the black versions hit Japan later this month. The white ones will be available in November.

Dell Adamo XPS laptop continues to tease

Posted in Dell by Conner Flynn on October 13th, 2009

Adamo XPSJust look at that sexy laptop. You can practically floss with that thing. Dell’s latest tease of its amazingly thin Adamo XPS notebook has us all drooling. It shows the unusual way in which the laptop unfolds and we have to admit, we like it. A lot.

The Adamo XPS is just 9.99mm-thick and you really can’t get any thinner. Not using today’s technology. It really looks well engineered with that offset hinge, which unfolds the keyboard from the back of the screen, apparently allowing it to stand on its own. We can’t wait to see more.

Dell Adamo XPS revealed, looks razor thinIn the market for a super-duper crazy thin laptop that will likely cut your flesh? It has arrived in the form of the Dell Adamo XPS. Dell just revealed this thing today. Sadly they did little more than wave it around and put it away so we don’t have any specs.

Looks like it unfolds in a new way though and it makes even a MacBook Air look fat. We should get some specs soon and when we do, we’ll let you know.

Microsoft’s new keyboard is thin, sexyIt’s hard to make a keyboard sexy. I mean, it is what it is, and it has to be comfortable and not injure you terribly bad, while maintaining a size that’s also comfortable. So, we really have to give props to Microsoft on this one.

The new Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard is sexy, curvy and just plain looks pleasant. It even has a sexy little numpad that’s like a sidecar. The keyboard is thin enough to slip into a manila envelope. It’s as thick as a AAA battery at the back, thinner than that in front.

Posted in JVC by Conner Flynn on September 10th, 2009

JVC LT-32WX50 is super thin, super expensiveNormally 32″ LCD monitors are not very portable, but the JVC LT-32WX50 wants to change that. It’s just 6.4mm thin and weighs just 12.5 pounds. The specs are pretty good too, featuring a 4,000:1 contrast ratio, 90% of Adobe RGB color gamut, a few HDMI inputs and VGA connectivity.

It will arrive for $3,000 this November. No word on whether the JVC LT-32WX50 does full HD resolution or not, but if you want a semi-portable 32 inch LCD, you better start saving.

Posted in Acer by Conner Flynn on February 24th, 2009

New Acer Aspire One is comingAcer has no plans to rest with the success of its Aspire One netbook. They’re already working hard on a new model that improves on its predecessor. The new model will feature a slimmer chassis and come with an SD memory card slot like the one that first appeared on the 8.9″ model.

There can be only one reason for the slimmer chassis: an SSD instead of a hard drive. The presence of the Windows key on the keyboard suggests the new Aspire One will run XP, though a Linux version is likely.
