ExoPC gets delayed again

Shane McGlaun | Oct 4, 2010 12:04 PM CDT

ExoPc has been talking up its slate computer for a long time now and the thing has run in a number of issues that have resulted in long delays. The ExoPC was set to ship this month based on the order it was pre-ordered in. That shipment will not happen for many users due to a manufacturing error that resulted in damaged machines.

The manufacturing error had to do with a faulty piece of equipment on the Pegatron assembly line where the ExoPC is built. The faulty equipment was responsible for the touchscreen install and was pressing too hard, resulting in cracks in some of the screens. The faulty gear has to be replaced, leading to a delay in shipment. A stronger LCD with the same specs has also been sourced for the ExoPC.

ExoPC did receive a small amount of 32GB units that will ship starting on October 18. The majority of owners will not see their machines at that time. The 64GB SSD is also delayed so only the 32GB version will be shipping to start. More of the 32GB machines will arrive on October 29 baring other issues and will include some 64GB units. Shipments on those are set for the first week of November. To say sorry for the new delay, each pre-order tablet will get a free stylus and a free stand.

You don't have to look very hard to realize that the big feature that various manufacturers in the tech industry are pushing this year is 3D. The number of 3D capable computers, Blu-ray player's and TVs is constantly increasing on the market today even though by most accounts consumers aren't adopting 3D in the capacity that manufacturers hoped. That hasn't stopped Toshiba from pulling the covers off a new 3D notebook called the Satellite A665 3D.

AVADirect ships powerful X7200 gaming notebook

Shane McGlaun | Sep 24, 2010 12:04 PM CDT

Gaming notebooks are some of the most powerful notebooks that you can buy and because of all that power, they tend to be some of the largest and most expensive machines you can buy. AVADirect has announced that it is now shipping a new notebook called the X7200 that has some insane specs that will make mobile gamers drool.

The big notebook can be fitted with a pair of the new NVIDIA GTX 480M GPUs in SLI mode. A single 480M is powerful on its own, but a pair will make the notebook performance better than many gaming desktops. The X7200 has an aluminum skin and can be fitted with up to 12GB of RAM. It also features a pair of USB 3.0 ports.

Inside the chassis is enough room for up to 2TB of HDD storage or 1TB of SSD storage. As you can figure with the specs of the machine, the price won't be for the gamer on a budget. The X7200 notebook starts at $2700. For that much money, you get an Intel quad-core processor, 3GB of RAM, a single GTX 480M, and 500GB of storage. I would bet fully optioning the notebook would double that price or more.
