7 Apr 2011 - By Omar Mariño

I’m not a big fan of all-in-one desktop PCs. For the most part, they are underpowered and loaded with unnecessary bloatware, hampered by limited functionality, and poorly designed. Acer has set out to put a stop to that with their new Aspire Z5761. It is a 23 inch high definition model that packs everything up into a neat, well-designed chassis for roughly $1,300. Read more >>

The company has decided to upgrade that performance with Intel’s 1.66 GHz Atom N570 processors and re-release them with the same price tag.

ASUS has been trying to differentiate itself for a long time in the laptop market and to this end they’ve created the ASUS U36JC. It’s a 13.3 inch machine that’s only .76 inches thick at its widest point. And how much would you expect something so thin to weigh? How about just under 4 pounds?

Who says PCs have to be pretty?  Why can’t they be ugly as sin?  That’s what designers at GammaTech have seemingly been asking themselves, or at least that’s what it looks like when you view their latest creation:  the D12C convertible laptop.  The computer is undoubtedly ugly but when it comes to computing it’s the guts of the thing that are really important.  That’s where the D12C really shines.
