LG has been talking quite a bit recently of heating things up concerning their mobile offerings. So far, they’ve catered more towards the mid-range subset of users. But that all changes in early 2011 when the phone above you is released. The only things you need to take away from it right now are this: Dual-core, 8mp camera, and 1080p video recording. The biggest selling point will of course be that this LG phone (internally nicknamed “Star”) will be...
Apple certainly has the world gunning for them in the tablet space. Though unlike most of the hardware I’ve actually seen thus far, the AigoPad N700 tablet has me most excited. The specs include a 7″ WVGA display, 512MB RAM and up to 32GB of storage. Flash 10.1 support and 1080p video playback have also made the cut. Orchestrating the whole shebang is the tried and true Android 2.1. Powering it all is the single most exciting piece of the N700 — the...
Until the GTX 580 was released, the GTX 460 was the best bang-for-your-buck card — especially true if you picked up a second and ran them in SLI.

But if you can look past that, the possibilities are far more forward thinking than a GTX 460. However, there may be something more worth...
Those looking for the next latest and greatest gaming laptop can call off the search and bring in the dogs. Alienware has just what you need with the M17x R3 (Revision 3). This 17″ monster packs the latest AMD 6870/6970 mobile GPUs as well as the option for an Nvidia GTX 460 if the mood strikes. Look for massive heatsinks (relative) to accompany the pixel pushing hardware. Powering it all is a 9-cell 93Wh battery that should in theory give it more than 47 minutes...
PC gamers and builders who don’t stop until the last enemy has been fragged know the importance of high frame rates. Up until now, it was either the Nvidia GTX 480 or the ATI 5870 (single-GPU) cards that offered the most performance for your dollar. But on Nvidia’s high-end card, the GTX 480, one shader sectoin (32 cores worth) has been disabled from the start. Naturally, such a move signals a bigger, badder card further on down the road. Though as...
