New Intel chip takes fast jabs at iPhone, Galaxy Nexus

Liu Jun of Lenovo holding up the K800, Lenovo's first Intel-powered smartphone, at CES 2012. Intel's new chip for phones is surprising in many respects, but the biggest shocker is speed. The "Medfield" Atom Z2460 chip for smartphones,  announced at CES , handily beats some of the fastest phones on the market, review site Anandtech said in  this  post. Is this fast enough to be smartphone-market disruptive? Will battery life measure up? Only Lenovo and Motorola know for sure (Anandtech  thinks Medfield will be fine  on battery life). One thing is for certain, though: neither of those companies are signing up for Medfield out of pity, as Anand Shimpi points out. And--another shocker--the results that Anandtech cites are not that different from a bar-graph slide (below) that CEO Paul Otellini showed at a Credit Suisse Annual Technology Conference back in November. (I should add that I had somebody whispering in my ear before  CES  to take those be...

Get a Lenovo IdeaPad A1 7-inch tablet for $199 shipped

Um, remember that Samsung 7-inch tablet  I wrote about the other day, the one that was refurbished for $259? [Waves hands mysteriously] That neeeever happened.                                                                                      The 7-inch IdeaPad A1 tablet is a steal at $199 shipped. While supplies last, Lenovo is offering the  new IdeaPad A1 7-inch Android tablet for $199 shipped , plus sales tax where applicable. That's after applying coupon code  WEEKLYSAVEA1  at checkout. (You'll see four models listed on the landing page; the black one is the one on sale. The blue one, FYI, is only $10 more.) To be fair, this tablet lacks the Galaxy Tab's built-in 3G option, so don't feel too badly if you snapped up the latter. In other respect...

PCs take the lead at CES 2012: Laptops, desktops, and hardware

It's a rare  CES  for which most of the digital ink spilled is about computers and hardware, rather than giant televisions. But 2012 was just such a year, thanks to the never-ending drumbeat of Intel's ultrabook platform. Yes, ultrabooks again It seems like you couldn't walk more than a hundred steps across the velvety carpet of the CES show floor without running into a giant ULTRABOOK or WINDOWS 8 sign. The first official ultrabook-designated laptops (it's an Intel marketing term) arrived during the 2011 holiday season, but CES 2012 was a coming-out party for a host of new designs from nearly all manufacturers. Mooly Eden, the head of Intel's PC unit, shows off a concept ultrabook that has both a touch screen and keyboard at a press conference at CES. The laptops ranged from the diminutive (the  Acer Aspire S5 ) to the large and bold (the  HP Envy 14 Spectre ), and to the copycat (the MacBook-Air-alike  Dell XPS 13 ). And  14- and 15-inch models ,...

Intel: Lenovo Android tablet soon, Windows 8 later

LAS VEGAS--Intel demonstrated today at  CES  a Lenovo  tablet  based on its new "Medfield" Atom processor and said a Windows 8 tablet based on a next-generation Atom was on the way. The Lenovo IdeaTab K2110 tablet (see photo and video) is based on Intel's freshly-minted Medfield Atom processor--the same processor powering the Lenovo K800 smartphone announced today. This  Android  Ice Cream Sandwich-based tablet is slated to appear sometime in the second quarter. Lenovo IdeaTab K2110 Android Ice Cream Sandwich tablet based on new Intel Medfield Atom chip. It's due in the second quarter. Intel and Lenovo are also demonstrating a more futuristic Lenovo tablet running Windows 8 and packing Intel's next-generation Atom chip, dubbed Clover Trail. That chip, due in the second half of the year, distinguishes itself from Medfield by integrating two processor cores (Medfield has only one) and a higher-performance graphics engine. Clover Trail will be Intel's platf...
