    Intel Teases 9.5-Hour Battery Life From Haswell-Based Core i7

    I want to see the battery life of an i7 laptop with decent discrete graphics (8770M, GT 650M or of the like) and with a large battery like the 100 W/h, 8550 mAh in my HP. I bet 10+ hours would be possible just surfing the internet on Intel graphics, and 2-3 hours intense gaming.

    Lenovo K900's Intel Processor Scores High in Benchmarks

    Sure it may be really fast, but does that matter if it has terrible battery life?

    Samsung Announces Enhanced Series 7 Chronos Ultrabooks

    The Series 7 Chronos looks like my ideal laptop for Windows 8, with the 15" 1080p touchscreen, great graphics for the size, the nice build quality and (supposed) battery life. Too bad it'll probably be $1600+ for the base non-touch model.

    AMD Radeon HD 8790M: Next-Gen Mobile Mainstream Graphics Preview

    I wonder how the new 8790M would compare to my 6770M (now re-branded as a 7690M XT)?

    HP Announces Price For Tablet-Laptop Hybrid Envy x2

    I'd rather have an AMD E2-1800 or even a C-50, with a $500 price tag, then maybe.

    HP Surpasses Apple in PC Sales Thanks to iPad Shipment Dip

    iPads really SHOULD NOT be counted as PCs. Yes, they're technically computers, but they're far from being in the same realm as desktops and laptops.

    Is Intel Going to Kill its Celeron Processor Brand?

    If only they thought it out, they could have made their product line this way: Atom is Core i1, Celeron and Pentium could have been merged into Core i3, the current i3 could be i5, the i5 could be i7, and the i7 could be the Core i9. Boom, all the previous bad connotations are gone and people...

    Dell XPS 14z Ultra-Thin Laptop Rolls Out in China

    Gimmie at least GT 525M or AMD 6490M graphics, and I MIGHT consider it. With the GT 520M, it might as well just have the Intel graphics and save battery life.

    It's the "World's First" 7.1 Surround Sound Headset

    I think I'll stick to my 6.1 1000 watt home theater surround sound system for my computer. Headphones don't even compare to my speakers when playing games on my basement home theater computer.

    HP Artist Edition Laptop

    For sale is my HP dv6-1260se Artist Edtion laptop. Only thing is that it needs a new battery (it takes a 6 or 12 cell). Everything else is fine with it. Will include original software (Corel Paint Shop Pro X2, Video Studio X2, Sketchpad, Magix Music Maker 14). I've taken good care of the laptop...

    Regarding RAID in HP dv7-6195us

    I looked through the HP support forums, and it appears that HP laptops don't support RAID, and that the drives show up as 2 separate disks in Windows, each the same size. I've been wanting to get that laptop too, and it's a little bit of a downer that the computer doesn't support RAID.

    ASRock Teams With Fatal1ty For AMD MoBo

    Too bad it doesn't have Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty sound onboard, or even include one with it. I'll stick to Gigabyte, Asus and MSI.
