The Taiwanese OEM just unleashed its new 17-inch pixel M570TU (pictured) and 15-inch M860TU rigs offering WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolutions right here at CeBIT. The 17-incher features Intel's "new generation" processor and chipset, 512MB of nVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX graphics, a 2 megapixel webcam, Blu-ray (or HD DVD drive...http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/hands-on-clevos-oem-ready-15-and-17-inch-gaming-rigs/ Eyes on NVIDIA's GeForce 9800 GX2- March 5, 2008 Filed under: Features, Gaming At this point, the only thing that could make NVIDIA's GeForce 9800 GX2 any more real is an actual street release. Nevertheless, here it is, displayed with glory and gusto at the Innovision booth here at CeBIT. They wouldn't take it out of the case by order of NVIDIA but we did get confirmation that the anticipated graphics king will launch before March is done for an undisclosed price. Plenty of pics of the card and box for your GPU sleuthing in the gallery below..http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/eyes-on-nvidias-geforce-9800-gx2/ Hands on with Olympus E-420 -- the world's smallest DSLR- March 5, 2008 Filed under: Digital Cameras, Features There it is, the world's smallest DSLR -- the Olympus E-420 (left) -- snuggled up next to its slightly bigger E-410 bro. Note that the E-420 on display at CeBIT is a near-final, fully-functional engineering prototype. What more can we say, it feels great in hand and the space and weight savings are certainly welcome. However, without any images to compare the best we can do is ogle the gallery until the reviews roll in.Gallery: Hands on with Olympus E-420..http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/05/hands-on-with-olympus-e-420-the-worlds-smallest-dslr/ Video: Hands-on with the GMC Bulldozer R4 computer case- March 4, 2008 Filed under: Desktops, Features, Gaming We don't typically get worked up for over-the-counter, computer cases. The we stumbled upon the Bulldozer R4. If we were a 92-mm case fan we'd totally tap this. If you're wondering what those little pneumatic arms are for then check the video after the break -- a place where surreal overkill and CeBIT come to meet.Continue reading Video: Hands-on with the GMC Bulldozer R4 computer casePermalink Email this Commentshttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/video-hands-on-with-the-gmc-bulldozer-r4-computer-case/ Hands-on with Navigon's new 8110 and 2100 Max GPS units- March 4, 2008 Filed under: Features, GPS We're fairly impressed with Navigon's showing at CeBIT, busting out those 4.3-inch 2100 Max PNDs at a $299 pricepoint, and raising the bar for GPS sexy with the 8110. The software for the 2100 Max couldn't be much more frill-free, but we found the 3D maps of the 8110 -- as in, actual 3D terrain -- to be quite impressive. We didn't see any 3D buildings in our demo, but apparently you can download those to flesh out the experience.Gallery: Hands-on with Navigon's new...http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/hands-on-with-navigons-new-8110-and-2100-max-gps-units/ ASUS does DisplayLink with VW223B 22-inch LCD- March 4, 2008 Filed under: Displays, Features Hard to go wrong with a little bit of DisplayLink, and ASUS giving its VW223B the full USB treatment. The 1680 x 1050 display can accept a VGA plug, but the real magic happens over USB. You can plug up to six of these monitors into your PC and run them at full resolution, and the VW223B even includes a few USB plugs to help with the daisy-chain. The 5ms response time and 3000:1 sweeten the deal. No word on price or availability just yet, but we're starting to get.http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/asus-does-displaylink-with-vw223b-22-inch-lcd/ Video: Meizu M8 mini One OS looks very, very familiar- March 4, 2008 Filed under: Cellphones, Features, Portable Audio, Portable Video Besides that very early prototype handset, Meizu also brought along a rough (and we mean rough) engineering board and display to show off the M8 mini One's UI and feature set. It was lacking Bluetooth, camera, or WiFi so we weren't able to see those features of the Opera browser which the mini One will one day happily tout. Still, we had high hopes of seeing just how talented Meizu's software engineers are at recreating the...http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/video-meizu-m8-mini-one-os-looks-very-familiar/ ASUS' 9-inch Eee PC, now with living pixels!- March 4, 2008 Filed under: Features, Laptops We showed you quite a bit of the 9-inch Eee PC from ASUS yesterday, but they wouldn't let us turn it on. Now that CeBIT has officially begun, however, ASUS is lighting up those pixels loud and proud. ASUS tells us the screen is 1024 x 600, and it looks to be almost the exact same pixel density as the 7-inch version. The computer was being shown in both Linux and Windows XP versions, so it looks like you'll be able to have your choice of OS when the 9-incher is...http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/asus-9-inch-eee-pc-now-with-living-pixels/ Meizu M8 mini One vs. iPhone... fight!- March 4, 2008 Filed under: Cellphones, Features, Portable Audio, Portable Video So we finally had the chance to lay palms to Meizu's M8 prototype. Better yet, we set it up side by side with it's muse, the Apple iPhone. Let's be clear, the prototype is not functional by any stretch of the imagination. It simply turns on and then slaps up one of three images representing the home screen, dialer, or media player depending upon which of the three physical buttons you press along the bottom of the main display....http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/meizu-m8-mini-one-vs-iphone-fight/ 7-inch Eee PC vs 9-inch Eee PC -- ready, fight!- March 3, 2008 Filed under: Features, Laptops We know you need it. Now you've got it. ASUS' 7- and 9-inch Eee PCs lined up for a side by side comparison. The new 9-incher is clearly the bigger brother to the shorter original. Too bad too 'cause that chunky bezel on the 7-inch already offers plenty of room for screen-estate growth. You can also clearly see the bigger touchpad and beefier display hinge of the new 9-inch. Check the gallery to see all the hot 9- on 7-inch action.Gallery: Hot 9-inch on 7-inch Eee..http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/7-inch-eee-pc-vs-9-inch-eee-pc-ready-fight/ |
