drag2share: Sony's First Ever 4K Home Theater Projector Shoots Super Resolution for Super Cash [Projectors]

4K video might be our inevitable future, but for now it's prohibitively expensive and rarely available. Sony's taking care of the latter part with its new VPL-VW1000ES projector—four times the resolution of 1080p (!) for mega, mega bucks.

Sony's many-charactered projector has some serious eyeball muscle: 2,000 lumens of brightness, the aforementioned insanely-high 4096 x 2160 output, and a lens capable of beaming out a 200-inch image. This sounds great! Except it costs "under" $25,000, which probably means very, very close to $25,000. If you're a person with $25,000 to spend on a projector, your retinas will be tickled. Well, at least they will be when you can find 4K video to play. Which might be a bit of a wait. At least the thing is gorgeous to look at in the meantime. [Sony]

drag2share: ASUS Eee Slate B121 slabs it up for the enterprise market

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/08/asus-eee-slate-b121-slabs-it-up-for-the-enterprise-market/

Temper that excitement. This isn't the rumored quad-core, Kal-El running Transformer 2. Still, ASUS is doing its best to port the tab buzz to the enterprise set with its quietly introduced Eee Slate B121. Unlike its tablet PC bretheren, this business-minded slate runs Windows 7 Professional atop an Intel Core i5 processor, and comes loaded with the security tweaks necessary for the corporate road warrior: like Computrace LoJack for remote location and data wipe, and a Trusted Platform Module microchip that stores encrypted data. Also tacked on to the $1,500 12.1-inch package are a Bluetooth keyboard and Wacom Digitizer stylus. As for the specs, well, there's a 1280 x 800 LED Gorilla Glass display, 4GB RAM, 64GB of storage, dual USB 2.0 ports, mini-HDMI out, SD card slot and 2 megapixel front-facing camera. No official word on exactly when this biz-friendly tablet'll be available, but now would be a good time to convince your IT department to order it up. Be sure to hit the source below for the company's soft sell.

drag2share: Viewsonic's $200 ViewPad 7e Android tablet now available for pre-order

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/08/viewsonics-200-viewpad-7e-android-tablet-now-available-for-pre/

Viewsonic has been at the low-cost Android tablet for some time now, and it showed no signs of letting up on that effort at IFA last week, where it debuted its new ViewPad 7e. If that managed to pique your interest, you'll be glad to know that the device is now available for pre-order for $199.99 (though there's still no promised ship date). That will buy you a 7-inch screen, a 1GHz Cortex-A8 processor, Android 2.3 for an OS, 4GB of built-in storage, a microSD card slot for further expansion, and even a mini HDMI port that will let you output full 1080p video.

[Thanks, Peter]

drag2share: Western Digital, Seagate and Hitachi square off in 3TB hard drive roundup

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/08/western-digital-seagate-and-hitachi-square-off-in-3tb-hard-driv/

We've seen 3TB hard drives trickling onto the market for the better part of a year, but it's only now that we're seeing more UEFI-equipped motherboards that can actually handle all that storage capacity. So, the benchmarking wizards over at HotHardware decided now would be a fine time to pit a few of 'em against each other, rounding up models from the likes of Western Digital, Seagate and Hitachi and subjecting them to a grueling battery of 28 tests. We'll leave it to you to peruse the scores, but suffice to say the Seagate Barracuda XT swept about half the benchmarks, and notched a close second the rest of the time. But is it worth spending an extra $30 over Western Digital's consistently trailing Caviar Green? We'll leave that to you and your wallet.
