Toshiba reveals touchscreen U500-1EX laptop

Toshiba has announced a whole range of laptops, and amongst the pile is the touchscreen-equipped U500-1EX notebook. It’s got a 13.3-inch display, but this ain’t no netbook – instead packing a range of more high-end specs than your average ultraportable.

Performance is centred around an Intel Core i3-330 processor, running at 2.13GHz with a 3MB cache. There’s 4GB of DDR3 RAM, but just a 320GB hard drive, so you’ll want some external storage if you’re planning to use this as your main computer.

That 13.3-inch multitouch touchscreen runs at 1280 x 800 resolution and above it is an HD webcam with face recognition software pre-installed. There’s 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, LAN, Bluetooth 2.1 and a DVD rewriter, along with integrated graphics.

It weighs 2.15kg, and for the environmentally-conscious, there’s an eco utility and a dedicated button on the side of the device for reducing energy consumption. It has a 5-in-1 card reader, HDMI-out, two USB ports and an eSATA/USB port which can charge devices when the laptop’s off.

It’s yours for ?650.

LG’s New GT350 Lets You Social Network Like A Pro

0041f 1 LG’s New GT350 Lets You Social Network Like A Pro

The LG GT350 improves upon the earlier LG K𔖠, a messaging phone that has sold over five million units worldwide since its launch in August 2008. Both phones have slide-out full QWERTY keypads designed specifically for the textually-minded.

More powerful than its predecessor, the LG GT350 includes upgrades to its messaging and social networking experience. Opening its slider reveals a large, comfortable four-line QWERTY keypad, versus a three-line keyboard on the earlier model, which makes typing messages almost as easy as on a computer. What’s more, the 3-inch WQVA screen on GT350 is now fully touch enabled, an upgrade from the partial touchscreen on the original KS360.

Social networking is a strong suit for the LG GT350. Its entire interface is optimized for social networks, providing full integration with sites like Facebook, Twitter. It aggregates information from multiple social networks onto one screen, making it easy to instantly check status updates, keep track of friends and respond to messages. For direct access to social networking sites, the LG GT350 has a dedicated shortcut key on the keypad. In addition to social networking, the keypad also includes dedicated buttons for accessing push e-mail, the web browser and instant messaging.
