Acer RL85 is a small computer that is designed to be your home media PC. You can add up to 6 terabytes of storage, up to two 4K displays, and 7.1 channel audio and up to an Intel Core i5 processor.

Acer RL85 Revo One specifications include three HHD bays that support up to 2TB drives in each, two USB 2.0,  two USB 3.0 ports, an SD card slot, 802.11ac WiFi and Ethernet port. To insert the hard disks, just open its latch by using a pen or similar tool.

Acer has bundled Smart Control applications with it that can be used to control the computer from iOS or Android device. You can also stream content from your phone to your TV through the PC.

There is no news if it will make it to the United States but it will be hitting European nations in January for 269 euros. Acer will launching it in Middle East and Africa in coming months.

Along with launching newer ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2015 edition, Lenovo introduced ThinkPad X250 with 12.5 inch display packing full HD display with touchscreen panel and newest Intel Broadwell processor.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X250 is about 0.8 inches thick and weighs less than 3 pounds which makes it as light as Mini laptops of 2015. However there is nothing netbook-ish about it when it comes to performance and features. For instance the X250 has dual battery support that lets you add up to 96 Wh of battery power to let you run for a whole day (literally).

Its specifications up to 8GB of memory, 2 USB 3.0 ports, mini Display Port, and a VGA port. For controlling the mouse pointer on the display, you get trackpoint, touchpad and pointing stick.

Prices start at 1150 dollars for the base model and if you purchase dual batteries, faster CPU, you will have pay more.

It’s too bad they only put 2 USB ports in the X250.

Lenovo has launched a new series of laptops at the CES 2015 and one of it is the updated ThinkPad X1 Carbon which is now one of the lightest 14 / 15 inch ultrabooks in the world. It is built to celebrate 100 million ThinkPad laptops sold over the past 22 years.

Flip covers first got popular with the launch of Galaxy Note 1 in 2011 and they have been growing in popularity ever since. Samsung wanted to enhance the functionality of flip covers and with S4, they introduced S-view functionality that allowed user to view and answer calls without opening the flip cover. With the Note 3, Samsung has made it bigger than ever and added a lot more functionality than before.

The official flip cover has NFC antenna which allows you to do NFC data transfer just like you do with its back cover. Talking about back cover, you take it off while putting this on since it replaces the back cover, keeping the overall profile thin.

Like the s-view cover for S4, you can answer or reject incoming calls. You can do certain things without opening the flip such as take a picture or control the music player. These are very useful as with the flip on, you can still use your phone with one hand to do important functions like playing / pause the music or take a picture.

The case also looks much more elegant thanks to real nylon stitching and since it is made by Samsung, it fits perfectly. The build and construction has improved multifold times compared to Note 2 and Note 1 cases.  It is made from high quality synthetic leather materials and it feels amazingly well built and premium in hand.

I strongly recommend this to any Note 3 owner who is planning to keep his device new for a long time to come. You can find many other note 3 cases on mobilefun.co.uk.
