There's no shortage of multitouch-friendly all-in-one desktops to choose from these days, but you can now add one more to the list: Lenovo's new C325. This one packs a 20-inch 1600 x 900 display (also available sans multitouch in the basic configuration), along with a dual-core AMD E450 processor, integrated Radeon HD 6320 graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, a maximum 1TB hard drive, and a built-in DVD burner (no Blu-ray option, unfortunately), among other standard fare. It's also available in your choice of black or white, with prices starting at $699. Check out the gallery below for a closer look.

drag2share: Westone's 4 R-Series quad-driver IEMs pack Acoustic Symmetry, cost $500

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/24/westones-4-r-series-quad-driver-iems-pack-acoustic-symmetry-co/

Remember those impressive Westone 4 in-ear monitors that came out late last year, priced at a whopping $450? Well, the company's ready to best itself again -- and have audiophiles open their wallets a bit wider -- with its new 4 R-Series. This latest set is relatively similar to the 4, still packing Westone's EPIC cable (now detachable) and four balanced armature drivers, but will set you back an extra fifty bucks in the name of Acoustic Symmetry. Westone claims the 'phones achieve an "extremely tight tolerance of +/- 2dB between earpieces," meaning your sound should be extra consistent from both buds. The 4 R-Series buds are expected to arrive before the year's out, so in the meantime we'll just direct you to the PR past the break.

drag2share: ViewSonic rolls out $200 ViewPad 7e Android tablet

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/24/viewsonic-rolls-out-200-viewpad-7e-android-tablet/

We've already seen it available for pre-order at Amazon and spent a bit of time with it ourselves last month, but ViewSonic's only just now officially getting its ViewPad 7e Android tablet out the door. It'll be available by the end of the month if it hasn't hit retailers already and, as expected, it will set you back an even $200. That unfortunately only buys you Android 2.3 (with an SPB shell on top) and not Honeycomb, but the specs are otherwise somewhat decent for the price, including a 1GHz ARM A8 processor, dual cameras, a "RiteTouch" 7-inch capacitive display, 4GB of storage with a microSD card slot for expansion, and HDMI output. As is often the case with low-end tablets, however, one key omission is official support for the Android Market, but you do at least get access to Amazon's Appstore, as well as plenty of pre-loaded apps including Twitter, Kindle, and TuneIn Radio.

drag2share: T-Mobile Springboard and Galaxy Tab 10.1 finally get official launch dates

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/25/t-mobile-springboard-and-galaxy-tab-10-1-finally-get-official-la/

Clutching at its chest and panting as it nears the finish line, T-Mobile has finally announced the release date for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 on its not-quite-4G network. You can write November 2nd in your diaries as you struggle to remember which century it was that you decided to wait for the as yet unpriced magenta version of the tablet. T-Mobile's Springboard will be arriving five days later, on November 7th. The Huawei Mediapad-with-shiner-shoes packs a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 5 megapixels in the rear, 1.3 up front and has a crunchy Honeycomb center. Inexplicably, the company still won't 'fess up about pricing for this guy either, so we'll just repeat what we've heard a hundred times before -- it'll be under $200 on contract.

[Thanks, Cliff]

drag2share: Svelte Dell XPS 14z Ultrathin Laptop Comes To America [Laptops]

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5852608/svelte-dell-xps-14z-ultrathin-laptop-comes-to-america/gallery/1

Dell calls its new XPS 14z the thinnest "fully featured" laptop on the planet. It's super slim at 23 mm, has a great display, is a zippy performer and weighs less than five pounds. And now, it's America's own.

The XPS-14z had already made news in China, but Dell is now shipping it here in the U.S. too. So let's get this "fully featured" thing out of the way first. Dell uses the term to mean the thinnest laptop with an optical drive and discrete graphics (a processing unit that's dedicated just to graphics). That's a marketing push. Dell should have dropped that language, because it just invites comparisons. It is much thicker than any number of laptops that lack an optical drive. However taken on its own, this a damn thin, damn fast little build with a great display.

Depending on how you spec it out, the XPS 14z comes with either a Core i5 or Core i7 processor, 7200 RPM SATA HDD in 500 or 750 GB options, or a 256 GB SSD if you don't dig platters. It's got a slot loading DVD +/-RW, optional NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M graphics card, and a seriously nice-looking 14" 720p (1366 x 768) display that seems like it just floats above the keyboard. The anodized aluminum body and island keyboard both feel quality. It has more ports than an island in the sea (Mini Display, HDMI 1.4, USB 3, USB 2, Ethernet, media card, microphone, headphone) and will play nice with your 3DTV. With a solid state drive, it weighs 4.12 pounds, the HDD version clocks in at 4.36 pounds.

It's at that magical price point where fast-selling faeries dwell, starting at $999 for the Core i5 version with integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics. It runs up to $1599 fully loaded with a Core i7 and discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M. [Dell]
