Lenovo has launched today a new All-In-One PC, IdeaCentre B550. Designed for the high end of the market, it features the discrete AMD Radeon HD 8850m graphics card, which makes it more like a traditional gaming PC. It boasts a generous display featuring full-HD 23 inch screen with Multi-Touch technology supporting up to 10 touch points.
It is extremely rare to find productive tablets with 128GB of storage. Until now, Windows 8 tablets have only been offered in either 32 or 64 GB storage capacities. This is the first time, a PC manufacture is offering a tablet with 128GB storage. Meet the Lenovo ThinkPad 8, the might be the best tablet to stay productive.
Lenovo wants mere EUR / USD 599 for it. This is an extremely well thought price tag for something with such amazing specs and display, which packs higher resolution than the industry standard resolution, 1280×800. Not a lot of shops in Europe are selling it, but I think Cyberport.de is selling it. It is yet to go on a sale in US land.
Lenovo ThinkPad 8 runs Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating system and it runs butter smooth, thanks to the quad core Intel Atom Z3770 processor (2.4 GHz) and 2 gigabytes of main memory (RAM). For communication, you get a dual band Wi-Fi network card, and Bluetooth 4.0. Other specifications of this tablet include 8-megapixel main camera and front webcam.
Colorovo CityTab Lite 7” 2.1 is the latest tablet with a diagonal display size of seven inches. Can you expect anything good from a tablet that has a suggested retail price of USD 80 (CNY 490)? The answer is yes.
Despite being so cheap, the Colorovo was able to fit a dual-core Rockchip 3026 processor (ARM Cortex-A9) with a clock frequency of 1.0 GHz, backed by dual-core graphics chip, the Mali-400. You get 512 MB of RAM with CityTab Lite 7 2.1. For storage, you get meager 4GB built-in memory, which is fortunately expandable through the use of micro SD card slot. The 7-inch display packs WVGA resolution (800 x 480 pixels).
It runs Android 4.2 jelly bean operating system. For communication, you get 802.11n Wi-Fi, micro USB port, front webcam (0.3 mega pixel) and to keep the price low, there is no rear camera.
Battery capacity is 2500 mAh, and with that capacity, we do not expect it to yield more than 3 hours of active use.

Dell has introduced a 28 inch 4K monitor for just USD 699. Called the P2815Q, it is the cheapest 4K monitor till date.
So, why is the price of Dell P2815Q so low? The reason is it uses TN display which does not gives you viewing angles as, let us say, an IPS screen. Another thing to note – the screen refresh rate is 30 Hz at its native resolution. To get 60 Hz, you must use 1920×1080.
4K means it has 3840 x 2160 pixels, which will give you an amazing workspace to work on. The screen of P2815Q can be twisted 90 degrees, so that one can use it both landscape or portrait mode. Dell offers some other Ultra HD monitors that includes 32 and 28 inch models (that retail for USD 3500 and 1300 respectively).
The Dell P2815Q will available for purchase on January 23 2014.
