Ultrabooks, which allow us to new models

The CES 2012 has left us a lot of new players in the world of ultrabooks. These portable promoted by Intel several months and seems to have come to stay with us.

Undoubtedly the most attractive of the Ultrabooks is extremely thin design and , in some cases touching the centimeter thick. In addition, their technical specifications are very good, and therefore also appeal to advanced users. That hope ultrabooks off in 2012 is something that we found at the fair in Las Vegas.

Here we present you the strongest aspects of this new category of laptops :

Extreme thinness, design ever

Yes, it is the most attractive. The change was necessary: ??Apple presses with excellent designs and competition must respond. This response is the ultrabooks.

Ultrabooks

The idea is to combine design, thinness, good features and value in a single device. Current models have already partially succeeded, as we discussed with the four ultrabooks and a special guest . Each manufacturer is adapting different designs , and I must admit that in my point of view is most accurate.

Keep in mind that they are very modern designs and different from what we were used so far, breaking the old aesthetic completely renewed design lines for laptops of the future.

They all point to the fashion of the Ultrabooks

Ultrabook is a concept promoted by Intel, who already know it is not the final manufacturer. Therefore, without this project, other companies would come to nothing. Fortunately almost all known manufacturers have signed up to ultrabooks : Asus, Samsung, Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and LG are perhaps the most representative.

Ultrabooks

In the future, also will remain ultrabooks updates from the same manufacturer. For example, the Acer S3 and S5 Acer are quite similar in terms of technical features, but differ in design and in some specific areas. Throughout 2012 we see some evolution certainly more.

Prices? Attractive to middle and upper ranges

First, the ultrabooks are portable and high midrange . His current price of about 800 euros for the most basic models, including Intel Core i5, SSD and integrated graphics card. Their performance will be sufficient for conventional tasks, but will fall short for the most demanding tasks.

Ultrabooks

Still, this is a high starting price for those looking for a cheap computer. In the future we will ultrabooks from 600 euros , a figure much more interesting that it has to be considered for entry . It is possible that in 2012 we see some of this decline , but will be later this year or even in the face to the next 2013.

Smart TV from LG are filled with more content

The real strength of LG TVs this 2012, as we saw with the progress of CES , will be based on the movements control , either with your remote control or directly to the body thanks to a camera with reminiscences of Kinect.

Smart TV from LG are filled with more content

But the design change and maturity of the platform Smart TV will not leave indifferent neither the consumer. With more than 1,200 applications already available, LG has already informed of the extension of content that arrives in Spain, again based on agreements with third parties in this case ADNStream .

This company has developed 26 new applications to add content to your TV platform in the Smart TV from LG. The new “channels” covering current issues, children and sports, including eg kitchen or cook Canal Faithful.

These contents will be free , but instead be tied to advertising by smartclip.

Apple A6 points to the four cores, and evidence of this

I tip my hat to the work Apple is doing with his family of processors, currently consisting of only two members (A4 and A5) but it is clear that a future. Those 278 million dollars that were invested in the purchase of PA Semi are paying off in the last couple of years, and how.

Apple A6

The new microprocessor of the next iPhone, iPad and company will almost certainly be named Apple A6 , is beginning to appear timid in certain parts of the latest firmware code devices of the brand so successful.

The most curious thing is that show low denominations as core.3 , which is a huge clue that Apple would have four cores A6 , because in terms of electronics starts counting at zero in the vast majority of cases . Furthermore, in previous versions has been used core.0 for the first CPU mononuclear and core.1 for dual-core A5.

Apple A6

The evidence, it seems that in assembler. Long live the assembly language

The impact of Apple A6 for the market are still unknown, but it is clear that the power of Apple’s current technology is very large . At the other end and have some quad-core mobile, like Meizu MX , and others such as HTC Edge that are coming or tablet Asus Eee Prime Transformer Pad featuring NVidia Tegra 3 , quad-core which must be add Core Companion .

Sure we will see many more of these products in the MWC 2012 , the leading trade fair related to the mobile world this year will be held from February 27.

Apple A6 , a secret that we will see, say, the 26th of January in the form of two new iPad , one with a very high resolution , leaving the current iPad 2 and the range of entry into the tablet from Apple. Is 2012 the year that I’ll buy a tablet?
