March 16, 2010
GDC 2010 in San Francisco was the platform where ATI announced their Open Stereo 3D Initiative, where it involves a slew of partners to ensure support for multiple different stereoscopic 3D solutions. The whole concept behind that movement would be to offer consumers more choices when it comes to selecting an S3D solution, alongside additional innovations and a concerted effort in lowering costs for both hardware and software so that the adoption rate will be increased. Among the upcoming line of 3D products will comprise of a 3D-enabled ATI Eyefinity technology (a rival to Nvidia’s 3D Vision Surround), 120Hz 3D-ready displays and notebooks, active shutter glasses and passive polarized ones, S3D support for DirectX 9, 10 and 11, Quad Buffered OpenGL and Blu-ray 3D support among others.

March 11, 2010
Netbooks looks set to be here to stay for many more years, co-existing peacefully with notebooks, and that has finally caused AMD to shift gear by catering for a committed netbook processor under their Fusion range that ought to see action sometime next year. It seems that the Fusion chips will have capability consumption in the 10-15 watt range alongside decent integrated graphics performance without the need for Ion-powered graphics, all found in a device no larger than 12" in size. What do you think - will Intel and NVIDIA be quaking in their boots?

Acer To Launch Ultra Thin Notebook With Touch Keyboard And Frameless Display
March 8, 2010
Reports are in that Acer is planning to launch a new ultra-thin notebook in the second half of 2010. The best part is that that notebook will apparently feature a touch keyboard, and use the back of the panel’s glass substrate as the cover. The use of a touch keyboard will certainly be a big factor in helping Acer keep the notebook’s thickness at bay. Is thickness and weight a major factor when you consider purchasing a new notebook, or are you strong abundant to lug a notebook around, no matter how big or bulky? With more and more manufacturers coming up with ultra thin notebooks, it seems that we won’t need to be going to the gym so often in order to be able to lug our notebook around all day.

Acer goes super thin with Calpella notebook
February 26, 2010
Acer looks set to introduce a new line of ultra thin notebooks which will feature the Intel Calpella platform sometime in the second quarter of that year. Wistron will manufacture 13" models while Quanta Computer handles the 14" and 15" models. The notebook series has been dubbed Calpella Slim by Acer, although the final marketing name has yet to be finalized. Acer has plans to push Calpella Slim-based notebooks as its major product down the road, hoping that an ultra-slim design will become the norm in the industry. Let's hope that the price is right, too!

Apple files Magic Trackpad trademark
February 26, 2010
Apple filed for the Magic Trackpad trademark just today with the US Patent & Trademark Office. We don't have the full details about that device, although Magic Trackpad will most likely refer to an external peripheral device that targets desktop computers and notebooks which are plugged into external displays. After all, with more and more of OS X relying on multi-touch gestures, Apple will most probably offer desktop users a method to take advantage of such a system. Do you think that is just an ordinary trackpad which is taken from a MacBook, or is there more than meets the eye?

LG Display receives Microsoft Windows 7 Touch Logo certification
February 23, 2010
LG Display is first off the blocks among all the other hardware manufacturers to pick up Microsoft's Windows 7 Touch Logo certification, thanks to its 13.3" Capacitive In-Cell Multi-Touch LCD panel which targets noetbooks. It is different from your ordinary touchscreen products, since touch sensors are built into the display itself, making it useful for notebooks which are used outdoors frequently since light reflection and brightness declines are eliminated from the process. Mass production of the panel is expected to roll out in the second half of the year.
