Laptop - evolution - Asus Taichi - Windows 8


Always there is time in technology arena that something so good comes-in that it has potential to change the way things work and that time is now. Laptop Generation is continuously being bombarded with innovations and design and recently the Tablet market creating its own space. But I ended up seeing the grand offering Asus Taichi showcased at Computex 2012. Innovative dual display sleek design of Asus Taichi is a sign enough to see what could be expected in Laptop arena in coming days.


Asus Chairman Launching Asus Taichi at Computex 2012:
(see the demo though I found it little hard to follow to slowly speaking Asus Premier, No Offence. ;-))



One of the important things that i think for laptop are the displays - I read a lot on laptop. And Asus Taichi pack HD IPS display with resolution 1920x1080. Primary display which lets you use it as a laptop and When the lid of laptop is closed metro UI is available on the secondary screen and its just a touch thin device. Running Windows 8 this is available in 11.6 and 13.3 inch models. This also packs in the Ivy-Bridge Corei7 processor with 4GB RAMs, so performance isn't something that should be doubted about these laptops.  It just looks polished - I am one of the few folks who doesn't like android interfaces on Tablets. (The reasons there of I will put in another post). I doubt that this would be available in India anytime soon.

Let's hope Asus decides to launch it here too.

Reviving the blog.

2012 has come back with lots of things that I want to get back to, and that includes reviving this blog. My focus on technology is to make things simpler and easier -  to reduce time it takes to do something - to do something innovatively - or maybe to just do the normal chores more peacefully with ease.

Examples of me keeping things simple.
1. Used Nokia N70 high tech phone of its time for last 4 years until recently when I changed to an Android.
2. I still have a AMD Sempron 2500+(1.4Ghz only, muhhahah) k8 architecture Desktop which my mom uses at home. We decided not to upgrade as it is still faster than many PC;s and works as breeze. Just keeping pace with my Macbook Pro.
3. Look at my old post why we don't need faster more power wattage CPU here.

Coming back on reviving this blog.
I will keep myself on themes:
1. Doing faster - easier 
2. On Applications that enable us doing so..
3. Mac - what keeps or helps getting my work done - which can be of use.
4. My experiments and optimization for android for keeping it simple and quick to do things.

Chow for now!
