In June 2011, Bennington revealed to <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerrang!" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Kerrang!">Kerrang!</a></i> that Linkin Park has begun working on new material for their next album. He explained, "We've been working on a new record for the past two months. The music is great and we're well ahead of where we're expecting to be. There aren't a whole lot of noises going on, but there are a lot of good songs. It will probably get a very polarized reaction. Which pleases me. As an artist, I want a reaction." The singer added that the band would be looking to tackle controversial topics on their new album, rather than the more personal subjects of their older material. "We've learned how to write serious songs and serious lyrics. We've learned how to deal with politics, faith and other things. Those are things that can get preachy really quickly, which we don't want to do. So you need to learn to talk to people and not at people", he said.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-89" style="line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkin_Park#cite_note-89" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[90]</a></sup></div>

Rick Rubin will be a producer on the new album. "Typically we'll have a once-a-week meeting to go listen to the songs that they're coming up with and talk about them. For so early in the project, they are much further along than they have been on the last two albums we did. On <i>A Thousand Suns</i> there were still a lot of irons in the fire. We knew, 'OK, we can't do this forever. Let's leave this batch and we'll come back and address it when we start up again<span style="padding-right: 0.2em;">'</span>", Rubin said.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-90" style="line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkin_Park#cite_note-90" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[91]</a></sup></div>

In July 2011, Bennington told <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stone" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Rolling Stone">Rolling Stone</a></i> that Linkin Park aims to produce a new album every eighteen months, and that he would be shocked if a new album did not come out in 2012. The band continues to record and produce new material even while touring. Bennington commented on Linkin Park's schedule, stating, "Touring for two years is excruciating. When we would tour for two years even the most resilient person in the band, at the end of that, was fucking miserable."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-91" style="line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkin_Park#cite_note-91" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;">[92]</a></sup> He further elaborated on their ideas in an interview with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="MTV">MTV</a> saying, "We do have a really great head start.

We're getting word today from <em>Tech-On!</em>that the outfit unveiled a 13.3-inch sheet of flexible color e-paper as well as two new glasses-free 3D panels in a separate session at the conference. New <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/19/e-ink-shows-concepts-galore-at-sid-2011-snowboards-radios-the/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">e-paper solutions</a> loomed large at SID, but we were surprised by the lack of flexible screens. Sony's managed to deliver both on a display that weighs only 20 grams and measures a mere 150-microns thick, a feat made possible by the use of a plastic substrate. The sheet boasts a 13-percent color gamut, 10:1 contrast ratio, and 150dpi resolution.<br />
<br />
As for the 3D LCD displays, Sony joined a slew of other manufacturers in showing off its special brand of the panels. These new displays, ranging from 10-inches to 23-inches, apparently employ a new method for delivering <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/18/toshibas-tablet-ready-glasses-free-3d-display-debuts-at-sid-20/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">3D to the naked eye</a>. This particular method uses a backlight positioned between an LCD panel and another backlight for 2D images, and can be easily be switched off for 2D viewing. Of course we would have liked to see these screens in the flesh, but alas, Sony decided to play coy. Hop on past the break for a shot of the new 3D panel.<br />

We quite naturally did no such thing, poking and prodding at the slimline laptop -- which still feels supremely well built -- but we also went that one step further, by putting it through a trial we didn't dare subject our review unit to: a</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/hps-probook-6x45b-line-handles-a-spill-with-aplomb-on-video/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">spill test</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">. Well, it was a less a spill and more of a steady stream of water that we doused the X1 in, which might explain why it eventually gave out and shut down on us. Lenovo says that the keyboard tray can only handle 25cl of water before throwing a self-protect switch and turning the computer off. Given enough time to fully dry out, our unfortunate test subject might even have been brought back to life, but our efforts at restoring it were met with failure. You can see the H2O-based carnage after the break, though we should note that Lenovo managed to perform this test three times without taking the X1 out of commission... before we came along and ruined its spotless record.</span><div style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

It will be available for pre-order on the carrier's website starting May 19th, and be available in stores on May 26th for the usual $199.99 on a two-year contract. That, of course, gets you the first PlayStation Certified handset with console-style controls -- a real D-pad and PlayStation face and shoulder buttons, plus a pair of miniature touchpads for dual-analog gameplay on the go. You'll also get seven games pre-loaded on the device (including <em>Madden NFL 11</em> and <em>The Sims 3</em>) but, as we saw in our recent <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/21/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-for-verizon-hands-on-video/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">hands-on with the Verizon version</a> of the phone, you won't get Sony Ericsson's custom skin -- the carrier has instead opted for a mostly stock UI with only some SE wallpapers and widgets. As Verizon also notes, those opting for the phone will have to sign up for both a Nationwide Talk plan and a smartphone data package as well, the former of which start at $39.99 a month, while an unlimited data plan will run you $29.99.

See that Type-A USB jack? The one with the blue stripe sandwiched between the round AC jack (with its green light) and VGA and HDMI ports? Yeah, that's Sony's Thunderbolt implementation according to a trusted source. A bit of digging reveals that the "<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/27/sony-teases-freestyle-hybird-pc-tablet-slider-and-next-gen-ult/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Ultimate Mobile PC</a>" teased by Sony above is actually the same VAIO Hybrid PC leaked by <em>Sony Insider</em> back in March said to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/19/sony-crafting-vaios-with-chrome-os-external-gpus-and-thunderbol/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">feature an external dock</a> with one USB 3.0 jack, HDMI, Ethernet, AMD Whistler discrete graphics, and a Blu-ray Disc writer. Naturally, the dock attaches to the VAIO's Thunderbolt jack.<br />
<br />
What we're trying to get our heads around, however, is Sony's choice for a USB connector instead of the Mini DisplayPort used by Apple's dual-channel 10Gbps Thunderbolt implementation. The decision to go USB was first brought to our attention by site <em>Gula Digital. </em>We've long known that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/exclusive-apple-dictated-light-peak-creation-to-intel-could-be/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Sony would be a Light Peak partner</a> in some capacity. And the decision to go USB certainly echoes those <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/intel-unveils-light-peak-10gbps-optical-interconnect-for-mobile/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">first prototype interconnects</a> demonstrated by Intel that combined a hybrid USB 3.0 connector with an optical interface and electrical connection to carry power. We also like the idea of being able to connect a USB 3.0 hard disk without first attaching an adapter. What troubles us, though, is a statement made by the<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/USB-if" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">USB Implementers Forum</a> last summer expressing reservations with Intel's proposed interconnect:<blockquote style="color: #6e6e6e; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-top: 20px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">"USB connectors are not general purpose connectors and are not designed to be used in support of other technology applications or standards or as combo connectors."</div></blockquote>Perhaps Sony has worked out a licensing arrangement with the USB-IF? We don't know. But we're told that Sony's Thunderbolt implementation is definitely using a USB connector and definitely <em>not</em> using Mini DisplayPort. But we'll wait until this thing ships before complaining about Thunderbolt fragmentation too loudly.<div class="clear" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative;"></div></div><div class="post_footer" style="display: inline; float: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative; width: 650px;"><div class="post_footer_left" style="display: inline; float: left; height: 36px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 8px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative;"><table class="spanks" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><tbody>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Allow us to explain. The 0.33-inch thick slate is a hair thinner than the newest edition of the iPad, and while that's all fine, well and good, it's the other aspects that truly push it ahead. Samsung uses a slightly larger 10.1-inch display (compared to the iPad 2's 9.7-inch IPS panel), yet manages to craft a slimmer / taller product that actually weighs less than its primary rival. The Tab 10.1 still comes out feeling astoundingly rigid, and while you could chalk it up to being a personal preference, we're a fan of the aspect ratio here. It's just easier to handle with a single hand, and the extra real estate proves even nicer once you have a gander at the 1280 x 800 screen resolution.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

The top bezel is dotted with a 2 megapixel camera, while the edges are surrounded by a matte silver finish. Flipping it on the rear, you'll get an 3 megapixel camera (capable of shooting 720p video), an LED flash and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The top left edge is home to a pronounced power / sleep button and a volume rocker, while the left and right edges are free of oddities outside of a small speaker grille on each side. The rear edge houses a microphone hole as well as Samsung's own dock connector input.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The plastic back on the Tab 10.1 is the only real design aspect that's somewhat less premium than on the iPad 2, but if that's what shaved the weight, we guess we can't kvetch too loudly. Still, our backplate remained in tact throughout a gauntlet of TSA inspections, and we've no concerns whatsoever about the build quality there.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Internals</h5><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">While the pixel density lags just a bit behind the G-Slate, the 1280 x 800 resolution mates well with the 10.1-inch panel. It's glossy, sure, but what Honeycomb tablet isn't? Despite the shine, this is most certainly one of the nicer mobile displays that we've seen, with colors popping and viewing angles impressing all eight of our friends who gathered around to watch an admittedly bizarre Star Wars - Harry Potter mashup clip. You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone unsatisfied with the display, to be honest, and that's just the start.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is just one of the crowd when it comes to processing power; NVIDIA's Tegra 2 silicon is powering things, with a dual-core 1GHz clock speed keeping things on the up and up. It's worth noting that our Limited Edition unit has 32GB of internal storage capacity... and that's it. There's no microSD card slot, and we're anticipating that all WiFi-only models will ship as such. Sammy's yet to clarify, of course, but those requiring a way to add additional storage should probably keep an eye out for the Tab 10.1 3G.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Samsung's media connector is chock full of possibilities. The package ships with a simple USB adapter, but there's always the possibilities of enabling video out, audio out, etc. through optional dongles in the future. As for connectivity? Our unit was equipped with Bluetooth 2.1 and 802.11b/g/n WiFi radios, and we're still playing a wait-and-see game when it comes to 3G.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Performance and battery life</h5><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The 1GHz CPU found here may be ever-so-slightly dated compared to the speed demons found within superphones like the</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Galaxy S II</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">, but it still runs circles around most everything within Android 3.0. A cold boot took under 20 seconds, and once the lock screen popped up, we were into the camera application and shooting 720p video in under three seconds. Anyone with a mid-range Android phone will attest to the presumed impossibility of that feat, but we swear it happened. Thrice.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

As far as tablet touch experiences go, the Tab 10.1 delivers one that's world class. We struggled to find ways to slow this guy down, and despite a full day of multitasking, swiping through applications felt as brisk as it did after a fresh reboot.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

We tested the Tab 10.1 using the standard Quadrant benchmark that was also used in our G-Slate and Xoom review, and using an average of six runs, we landed at 1,970. That's a bit more than our in-house Xoom (1,801) and G-Slate (1,879), but somewhat less than the Iconia Tab A500 (2,228).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

As for longevity, it's worth pointing out that the newly trimmed Tab 10.1 packs a 7,000mAh battery, which actually trumps the 6,860mAh battery found in the (now) <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/25/samsungs-original-galaxy-tab-10-1-renamed-the-tab-10-1v-thicke/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Tab 10.1v</a>. A slimmer shell with a more capacious battery? Sold!

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">While inbuilt speakers -- particularly on tablets -- are rarely ever worth writing home about, we had to give these guys a shot. The Tab 10.1 has a single speaker on both the left and right edges, and while they were more than sufficient for emitting the standard array of bleeps and bloops necessary to alert of us what's going on, they're hardly headphone replacements. Using 'em to emit audio for a voice-driven movie is more sensible than using 'em for audio, but there's a reason Samsung tosses a set of earbuds in with the package -- they're the preferred method of listening.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Software</h5><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">We mentioned earlier that we had a tough time getting this guy to stutter, and we're giving at least some credit to the stock v3.0.1 build of Android that's thrown on here. Not that we've got anything against TouchWiz UX, per se, but we've always been big fans of Google's untainted Android experience. If you'll recall, we heard back at CTIA that Sammy would be yanking TouchWiz "in select regions" -- we've a hard time believing that the US is included there, but at least on our LE model, there's only a few instances where Samsung's fingerprints are shown on the software.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

It's highly probable that it's simply unpopulated due to us having this tablet a solid month before its general release, but either way, calling what we saw here "underwhelming" is quite the understatement.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Of course, the dedicated Gmail app is nothing short of outstanding, and it remains one of the major reasons for heavy Gmail users to stick with Android over any other tablet OS.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Colors didn't wash out as easily, and indoor performance is predictably marred by unhealthy levels of noise. The built-in flash aids in that to an extent, but let's not kid ourselves -- you aren't going to be proud of any of the photos you take on the Tab 10.1, you'll just be somewhat pleased that you captured a moment you may have otherwise missed. Have a look at the gallery below -- we'd say the results are on-par with a lower-level point-and-shoot camera, but actually snapping shots with a giant tablet isn't nearly as easy.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The 720p movie mode is markedly better, as proven in the video embedded above. Despite having reasonably nice results here, shooting video (and even still images) on a tablet still feels like a fool's game. We were constantly stared at while attempting to capture this footage as discretely as possible, and felt as if we were doing something inherently wrong all the while. Maybe we're just overly worried about our image -- but maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't be using a 10.1-inch slate to take photographs and shoot video.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Wrap-up</h5><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">We know, we know -- it's starting to sound like a broken record around here, but would we really be making progress if it didn't? Without qualification, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the best Honeycomb tablet to date, and this time, it's by a country mile. There's simply not another Android 3.0 tablet on the market today that matches the Tab 10.1's style, placing it a lap ahead of the other, more cumbersome Tegra 2-powered alternatives.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">It's quick, nimble, and easy to hold, and it's both thinner and lighter than the heralded iPad 2. There's no question that we prefer the handling of the Tab 10.1 over Apple's alternative, and with the improvements coming with Android 3.1 (and in time, Ice Cream Sandwich), it's going to be mighty hard to overlook this device come</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/05/samsung-says-galaxy-tab-10-1-is-still-on-schedule-ipad-2-be-dar/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">June 8th</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">.

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">There's just no other way to say it: the iPad 2 finally has a real competitor. If Samsung could somehow undercut Apple by even $25 here, the choice would be obvious, but it's going to have a whale of a time convincing the masses that a Samsung device is superior to one Designed in California when prices are equal. That said, we'd still recommend the Tab 10.1 over the iPad 2 for heavy Gmail users and all-around fans of Android.

We thought it'd be the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/29/verizon-document-suggests-lg-revolution-will-have-netflix-pre-in/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">first with Netflix</a>. We thought a lot of things about the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/lg,revolution" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">LG Revolution</a>, but now we're closer to knowing the truth. According to documents uncovered by<em>Droid Life</em> the phone is coming next week, May 26th, and it is, indeed, shipping with Netflix, which you can watch on its 4.3-inch, 800 x 480 touchscreen. The LTE-equipped phone will be running a version of Android 2.2 that will surely have seen some cosmetic <em>enhancements</em>, not the least of which is Bing integration. Yes, it's been Binged, but if the price is right, maybe that's not the end of the world. As to the price: no word on that yet, but "wireless charging" is listed as a standard feature, so at least you won't have to pay extra for a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/14/lg-revolution-gets-fulton-inductive-charging-back-htc-and-samsu/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">chubby battery door</a>.<br />

Also, if you don't blink, you'll see the 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens and the chiclet keyboard. As for the live version of "Jessie's Girl," that's anyone's guess.<br />

The 336 CUDA cores inside this second-gen Fermi card, predictably, perform slightly better than the GTX 460 and fall just short of the 560 Ti, but it does eke out a victory over similarly priced competition from AMD. The only thing that kept reviewers from wholeheartedly endorsing the various (and often overclocked) flavors of the 560 was the tiny difference in price between it and its relatives -- tacking on the letters Ti and its 48 additional stream processors costs as little as $15 after a mail-in rebate.

It looks like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-ipads-micro-sim-explained/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Micro SIM</a> (announced with Apple's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">first iPad</a> last year) is destined to shed a few more grams, an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Orange/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Orange</a> spokeswoman said -- contradicting <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/10/bloomberg-apple-working-on-cheaper-smaller-and-dual-mode-iph/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">an earlier rumor</a> claiming that Apple is trying to kill off the chip altogether. SIM cards in their current form have been in use for over a decade (a Micro SIM is simply a standard chip without the extra plastic), and today's devices look nothing like the cell phones of 2001, so it's no surprise that the SIM we've come to love and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/official-apple-now-offering-iphones-unlocked/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">loathe</a> has run its course. If adopted only by Apple devices, however, a new form factor would be an incredible setback for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iphone+unlock/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">iPhone unlockers</a>, since an unlocked device is useless unless multiple carriers offer a compatible SIM.

We know, that name just rolls off the tongue. What's remarkable about the 12C is that the dual cameras on its back go all the way up to 8 megapixels (to the EVO 3D's 5), which will be creating quite the tasty workload for the 1.4GHz Qualcomm <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/msm8255,review" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">MSM8255</a> chip contained within. A qHD (540 x 960) screen resolution also keeps up with HTC's latest, though the 4.2-inch, 3D-capable display on the Aquos offers more pixel density and less in absolute real estate. Android 2.3, replete with some evident customizations, will serve as the OS, and 720p video recording in 3D will also be available when Sharp launches the 12C in Japan on May 20th. Rest of the world?

This is the Samsung Series 5 ChromeBook, which plays to Google's new standard "Chromebook" spec --in short means they'll each come with a dual-core Intel Atom processor and an "all-day" battery, which Google says will provide 8.5 hours of continuous usage here. Samsung's particular clamshell will have a 12.1-inch, 1280 x 800, 300 nit screen, weigh 3.26 pounds and come with dual-band 802.11 WiFi, optional global 3G, two USB 2.0 ports, an HD webcam and a clickable trackpad that Google tells us has thankfully been revamped <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/09/google-cr-48-chrome-laptop-preview/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">since the CR-48</a>. You'll be able to order one from Amazon or Best Buy beginning June 15th. It'll cost $429 for the WiFi version and $499 for worldwide 3G -- which includes <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/07/google-partners-with-verizon-for-free-3g-data-allowance-with-eve/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">100MB of free Verizon data per month</a>, just like the CR-48. PR after the break.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update:</strong> Amazon's Series 5 listing details some additional specs -- we're looking at a dual-core 1.66GHz Intel Atom N570 chip, a 1 megapixel webcam, and a 16GB mSATA solid state drive here, as well as an SDXC card reader, and VGA-out via an "optional" dongle. The press release also mentions a Li-ion battery good for 1,000 recharge cycles, though it doesn't mention what efficiency will be like after that.<br />

<br />
Samsung creates another industry-first device.<br />
<br />
SAN FRANCISCO - May 11, 2011- Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, today announced its stylish Series 5 Chromebook, the world's first Chromebook built on the principles of speed, simplicity and security.<br />
<br />
"With the creation of the Series 5 we are again pushing the boundaries of innovation by introducing an entirely new product category to the notebook market," said Scott Ledterman, director of mobile PC marketing at Samsung Enterprise Business Division. "This partnership has allowed us to combine Samsung's design and engineering expertise with Google's simple, secure software to provide consumers with a revolutionary notebook to fit today's web-centric lifestyle."<br />
<br />
"Samsung's reputation for innovative design and hardware development makes it a great partner to introduce one of the first Chromebooks," said Caesar Sengupta, Director of Product Management, Google. "We look forward to bringing a much better computing experience built around the speed, simplicity and security of Chrome."<br />
<br />
Elegant Design, Power Performance<br />
With its elegant shape, slim 0.79-inch body and simple Titan Silver or White finish, the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook embodies fashion and function.<br />
<br />
The 12.1-inch Super Bright display is both anti-reflective and anti-glare for a consistently vibrant visual experience across a variety of light conditions, from outdoors to dimly lit environments. The Series 5 display's 300nit brightness brings all forms of media alive in vibrant color.<br />
<br />
Today mobility is a deciding factor for consumers. The Series 5 weighs 3.3 lbs. and has a battery life of up to 8.5 hours, including five hours of video play for all-day use without the need to recharge. The Series 5 battery has a lifespan up to 1,000 cycles, three times longer than conventional batteries, which reduces the need for replacements. *<br />
<br />
The Samsung Series 5 packs power with an Intel® Core™2 Duo N570 1.66Ghz processor, giving you the versatility and performance you need for a one-of-a-kind web experience.<br />
<br />
Simple, Secure User Experience<br />
Google developed the Chrome operating system with three key factors in mind: speed, simplicity and security. The average out-of-the-box laptop starts up in 45 seconds. By contrast, the Series 5 starts up in less than ten seconds. When waking from sleep, a user simply opens the lid, and it's ready to go. This means that wherever you are and whatever you're doing, your computer won't slow you down.<br />
<br />
For a secure experience, Chromebooks run the first consumer operating system designed from the ground up to defend against the ongoing threat of malware and viruses. They employ the principle of "defense in depth" to provide multiple layers of protection, including sandboxing, data encryption, and verified boot.<br />
<br />
The Chromebook has also reduced concerns about security and data loss by moving everything to the cloud. If the Chromebook is ever broken or lost, all of your files are saved online.<br />
<br />
Web-centric Entertainment, Unrelenting Workhorse<br />
The Series 5 enables today's digital entertainment lifestyle by simplifying browsing, social networking, application usage and multi-media viewing. An optional VGA adaptor can connect to a second monitor or television, while audio inputs connect to a microphone, headphones or external speakers. The HD Webcam completes the Series 5's audio-visual package.<br />
<br />
When there isn't time for entertainment, the Series 5 can get down to business. Productivity is enhanced with the Chromebook's stylish and comfortable island keyboard, which delivers performance that can't be matched by a virtual keyboard.<br />
<br />
Connectivity<br />
Samsung Series 5 will connect you to your data anytime, anywhere through 3G, WLAN and a 4-in-1 Card Reader. Verizon Wireless has partnered with Samsung and Google to provide 3G connectivity for the Series 5 in the U.S. Verizon will provide up to 100MBs per month of Mobile Broadband service included with device for two years. Simple and easy additional data packages are also available for users requiring additional space.<br />
<br />
The Samsung Series 5 will launch in the U.S. June 15, 2011 from Amazon.com and BestBuy.com. The Wi-Fi + 3G model will retail at $499.99, and the Wi-Fi only model will retail at $429.99.<br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">They almost succeeded. The aluminum lid makes a striking first impression, as do the matching chassis and chrome accents. Meanwhile, the etched checkered patten makes the design seem richer</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><em>and</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">has the added benefit of repelling fingerprints, though it also creates the optical illusion that the chassis is thicker than it is. And while the "champagne" color isn't so aptly named -- it's a cooler, silvery shade in all but the dimmest light -- we think it's a good match for the textured metal surfaces. The overall effect is modern, though we wouldn't go so far as to call it futuristic. Most of all, we're pleased that Toshiba tucked its all-caps logo in a corner of the lid, as opposed to emblazoning it front-and-center as it's wont to do.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">And yet, when you lift the lid the notebook suddenly looks less refined. We stared down this laptop for a long time, trying to put our finger on what made us have a change of heart. Then it came to us: the plain, slightly shiny keys make for an incongruous match for the metal-clad body. The keyboard's backlighting helps distract from its plasticy finish, but it only kicks in if you're in a dim room or touch the keyboard. Likewise, the touchpad has a hard, plastic feel though it does mirror the chassis' checkered pattern. All this is hardly a deal-breaker, of course, especially when we're talking about a $900 system. It just seems to us that if Toshiba and Best Buy were going to go elegant on this one, they should have gone whole hog.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">We're told that Best Buy insisted the E305 weigh less than five pounds, and it comes in just under the limit at 4.95 pounds. That's not bad, considering that a metal-clad 13-inch notebook could easily top five, although what the E305 shed in pounds it's kept in girth – at 1.2 inches thick, it's still on the chunky side. On the bright side, though, it feels sturdy in the hand, thanks to that rock-solid aluminum body. And because the battery sits flush with the system, there aren't any bulges on the bottom, which makes it easy to slip under your arm while walking. And if for some reason the durability doesn't hold up, it comes with a relatively long two-year warranty (not including accidental damage / klutz protection, of course).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The E305 offers a healthy selection of ports, including three USB 2.0 ports, along with a USB 3.0 port that's also home to Toshiba's sleep-and-charge technology, which allows you to charge USB-powered gadgets even when the notebook is asleep. Similarly, the headphone jack will charge a music player even if the laptop isn't powered on and fully awake. Besides those, the E305's got HDMI and VGA output, a mic jack, an Ethernet port, and a memory card reader.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">We won't mince words: the E305's chiclet keyboard is supremely comfortable. As much as we kvetch about how the keyboard looks chintzy, it's well spaced, with amply sized left and right Shift buttons. Typically, it takes us a day or two to warm up to a new keyboard, but this time we barely had a learning curve, and were typing 94 words per minute (a good score for us) not long after unboxing the laptop. What's more, the panel felt sturdy through some bouts of furious typing, and even with our pounding the keys barely made any noise.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Unfortunately, we can't say the same about the trackpad. For the first time, Toshiba opted for a clickable pad -- a concept that's apparently easier to imitate than successfully pull off. The touch area is divided into left and right click zones, with a neat line to make it obvious where your finger should be. The problem is, it constantly registered right clicks, even when our finger was planted firmly on the left side. And because the buttons are narrow, it's easy for your finger to land on a too-high spot where clicks don't register at all. After about a week of testing, we had more luck, but really, it's not a good sign when a successful left click is enough to make you feel like you've won.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The trackpad is certainly spacious enough for multi-touch gestures, and also includes a narrow, invisible strip on the right edge for single-finger scrolling. We have to give credit where it's due: given all the hassle we ran into just trying to left click, gestures felt surprisingly smooth, and worked reliably.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The 14-inch uses Toshiba's TruBrite technology, which means, marketing speak aside, that this is one glossy panel. Given that, we were pleasantly surprised at how well we were able to follow a movie while watching from odd angles. We had no problem making out the action from the far left and right sides, though we had a little more difficulty watching a movie head-on with the screen dipped forward -- the more we lowered the screen, the more washed out the colors appeared.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The 220-nit display was bright enough for us to comfortably work and watch movies for long stretches, though splurge and you'll find similarly sized notebooks with more eye-popping screens, such as the</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/28/samsung-series-9-900x-laptop-review/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Samsung Series 9</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">. And although the E305 has a Blu-ray player, you'll be limited in how much you can enjoy those high-def movies, as the screen has a run-of-the-mill 1366 x 768 resolution. That said, Blu-ray movies looked crisp and played smoothly at full screen with faithful color reproduction.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The E305 is endowed with Dolby technology, and not the Harman Kardon audio you'll find in Toshiba's high-end Qosmio systems. You're not going to hear any pounding bass notes here, but we've also heard far tinnier speakers in our day. As for the volume, the speakers were loud enough that we could still hear The Doors and The White Stripes from across our apartment, and over the sound of our noisy printer and Joan Rivers dissecting the royal wedding on TV (yes, really). In short, the speakers will be powerful enough when you're hanging out alone or with a few friends, but you'll want to fall back on external speakers the next time you decide to host a rager.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The E305's webcam stops short at VGA resolution. Though that's fine for video chats, a fair amount of detail gets lost in still photos. And although the lighting in our pictures and clips looked natural, the colors took on a slightly bluish tint. The good news is that setting up the webcam for facial recognition -- a process that requires you to align your face with an onscreen avatar's -- took all of 30 seconds, and the notebook recognized us instantly when we later used it to log into our system.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Like the E205, the E305 packs Intel's Wireless Display technology, which lets you mirror your display (and whatever HD content you happen to be watching) on an HDTV or monitor -- sans cables, of course. This time, though, it features the second generation of WiDi, which can stream 1080p content, a step up from last year's limit of 720p resolution.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">We're happy to report that WiDi is as easy to set up as always. The notebook comes bundled with a small adapter made by Netgear ($100 on its own) that you plug into the wall with an AC adapter and then connect to your monitor or HDTV using an included HDMI cable. Press the power button in the back and then push the Wireless Display launch button on the E305's keyboard deck (that's the one on the far right). After you press the launch button, you might notice a pause of up to 10 seconds while your laptop finds the adapter. When it does, you'll have to manually select the adapter you want (in the event you bought more at $100 a pop to use with other TVs in your home). That's odd, given that laptops can automatically connect to familiar wireless networks. In this case, though, you'll always have to manually select the adapter.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

We do suggest keeping your notebook out of sight -- as you can see below, the laptop is always one step ahead, and the video doesn't align perfectly with what's playing on TV.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">This won't surprise you, but E305, like other notebooks refreshed this year, graduates to an Intel Sandy Bridge processor -- a 2.3 GHz Core i5-2410M CPU, to be exact. In addition, the notebook runs Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) and comes with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB 7,200RPM drive. As for the HDD, it employs hybrid drive technology, which combines traditional hard drive storage with 4GB of flash memory that's used to remember commonly used documents and applications -- in theory making them quicker to load. During a week of testing, the E305 was able to keep up with us while we ran Tweetdeck at full screen and used Chrome for email, Facebook, online banking, YouTube, and keeping up with various blogs. All this while running a full system scan using Norton Internet Security, mind you. In short, the performance was brisk, though frankly, it's hard to fully appreciate a laptop's power when a wonky touchpad makes even the most rote tasks feel painstaking.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">As for graphics, the E305 has Intel's integrated HD graphics -- a staple among low- and mid-range laptops. Its score of 4,547 in the gaming benchmark 3DMark falls thousands of points short of what you'd get from a discrete card, but it still trumps many of the scores we've seen from similarly sized machines with integrated graphics. In real-world terms, that's just fine for basic photo editing and playing simpler, not-too-graphically-intensive games.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Not something you typically find in a mid-range consumer laptop, eh? Though Toshiba is shy about saying just who its partner is, you'll get your answer just by poking around the menus -- it runs on Clearwire's network, of course, under Sprint's brand. You can activate the service in Best Buy, but the notebook also comes with a utility from which you can subscribe through Best Buy. If you all you want is a day's worth of connectivity, you can snag a day pass for $10, but you can also sign up for a month to month plan or a two-year contract. Either way, those options both come out to $45 a month in data fees.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

In our own test, which involves playing the same video at 65 percent brightness with WiFi on, we eked out five hours and seven minutes. Throughout, the laptop's temperatures stayed relatively cool. After playing a Blu-ray movie for awhile and running a virus scan, the fan whirred loudly, and the vent on the right side became warm -- though not hot -- to the touch. The right side of the palm rest inched up a few degrees, too, while the left side (the one farther way from the vent) stayed downright chilly, thanks to that aluminum finish.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Our one complaint is that the launch pad for the webcam software sits on the edge of the desktop and flaps out when you roll over it, which frequently got in our way. As for third-party software, though our review unit came with Norton Internet Security installed, those of you who pick one up through Best Buy will get a complementary one-year subscription to Kaspersky Anti-Virus software (not to mention, 90 days of Geek Squad support).

It's a crying shame, then, that something as basic as a touchpad could make this laptop stumble. Were it not for its jumpy, imprecise trackpad, we would have awarded it a higher rating, and the only reason we didn't dock it more is because this is something Toshiba can address through a driver update, as other companies have done after enough people wailed about the touch experience. Given all of its redeeming qualities, we suggest at least heading to a Best Buy store and handling one in person. But if you find yourself frustrated by unintended right clicks, remember that it's not likely to get easier with use -- not without a nudge from Toshiba, anyway.</div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

This time we moved up to the full 27-inch size, sporting a Core i5 processor that hums along at 3.1GHz. This is the processor you get if you opt for the pricier configuration of the bigger model and resist the urge to make any other customizations -- but cycle-hungry users can spend an extra $200 to step into a 3.4GHz Core i7.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Pushing pixels to that 27-inch, 2,560 x 1,440 resolution IPS panel is an AMD Radeon HD 6970M graphics card with 1GB of GDDR5 memory.

It's the same design that Apple's been hawking for a few years now. It still looks good, modern and understated styling matching your modern and understated life, but we're left wanting some updates. That SD card slot is still dangerously close to the DVD-ROM slot (which still won't accept Blu-ray discs), and the power button is still in exactly the right spot to confound new users and frustrate experienced ones as they accidentally hit it every time they reach to tilt the display back.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Obviously the gaming selection is still a little limited here, but</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><em>Half-Life 2</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">and</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><em>Portal 2</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">played full-res without a hitch. As you'd expect a 1080p clip loads quickly and cycles just fine -- we had five simultaneous 1080p clips going without a hint of frame drop on any.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">In fact about the only the only thing that really caused a stutter was trying to edit a 4K video clip in REDCINE -- it was still workable, but we had to view it at half-res to get the preview render looking smooth. Hardly a deal-breaker. If you're looking for more synthetic benchmarks, we scored 8,465 in Geekbench, a 30-second 720p clip exported from iMovie in 20 seconds, and a 1080p clip took under a minute.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">So could a pro-level user, someone who spends their days in Photoshop or Premiere or even REDCINE be happy here? Yes, surprisingly, they could -- especially with the addition of an internal SSD (a $500 option for 256GB) and a high-speed external storage array connected via Thunderbolt. It wouldn't be our choice, and whether it makes sense to buy something like this versus a dedicated machine with an external display is another question entirely, but if you wanted to, you certainly could.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">However, for a general consumer setup we can't help but think this is a bit too much. The vastly more affordable and still hugely capable 21.5-inch model makes a lot more sense for a lot more people. But, for ease of setup, aesthetic appeal, and overall performance and flexibility, the iMac is as hard to ignore as ever.</span><br />

The company also trotted out three lightweight models for the corporate set, including the 12.1-inch EliteBook 2760p convertible tablet, which has been <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/08/hp-elitebook-2760p-tours-the-fcc-shows-up-online-starting-at-1/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">rearing its head</a> around the FCC as of late. Although it's an update to the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/hp-adds-elitebook-2540p-and-2740p-to-the-lineup-brings-the-powe/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">current-generation 2740p</a>, it sticks with its tried-and-true metal design. But -- surprise, surprise -- it steps up to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/SandyBridge/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Sandy Bridge</a> Core i5 and Core i7 CPU options, promises 5.5 hours of battery life with the standard six-cell, and will be one of several models compatible with HP's newly minted (optional) prepaid data service, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/09/hp-launches-datapass-to-sell-prepaid-3g-data-plans-service-pigg/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">DataPass</a>. Is this the Windows 7 tablet you've been looking for? It's on sale now starting at $1,500 -- <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/06/htc-flyer-stylus-on-sale-at-best-buy-for-80-because-matching-g" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">stylus included</a>.<br />
<br />
Next up is the EliteBook 2560p laptop, an update to the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/hp-adds-elitebook-2540p-and-2740p-to-the-lineup-brings-the-powe/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">12.1-inch 2540p</a>. This one, too, has a tough aluminum-and-magnesium-alloy build, but it gets the good ol' Sandy Bridge treatment and also shifts to a 12.5-inch display -- a screen size that's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/07/lenovo-posts-thinkpad-x220-specs-online-includes-ips-display-s/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">rarely</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/20/thinkpad-edge-e220s-available-now-for-749-runs-spreadsheets-li/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">stretched</a> to 16:9 proportions. And, HP claims it's the only laptop of its size with a built-in optical drive, if sacrificing optical discs isn't a compromise you're willing to make. Look for it on May 23 with a starting price of $1,100.<br />
<br />
Lastly, there's the ProBook 5330m, a 13.3-incher that's trying hard to win over Generation Y-types just dipping their toes into the workforce... and who will call in sick if their work machines aren't trendy, or something. In addition to a dual-tone aluminum chassis, it plays cool with a backlit keyboard, Sandy Bridge Core i3 and i5 CPU options, and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/BeatsAudio/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Beats Audio</a> -- a first for an HP business system. On the inside, meanwhile, it offers TPM circuitry and optional Intel <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/vPro/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">vPro</a> processors -- perks for the IT managers likely to buy these in bulk. These are on sale now, starting at $800.<br />

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 9, 2011 – HP today expanded its notebook PC line with products and services that provide an optimal combination of sleek style, ultra-portability and high performance to deliver an outstanding mobile experience.<br />
The company also launched HP DataPass, a pre-paid 3G mobile broadband service available in the U.S. across HP's business notebook lineup and expanded HP Beats Audio technology to a business notebook and consumer Mini PC.<br />
HP furthered its FORGE business notebook design framework with the HP ProBook m-series and EliteBook p-series models and built upon its MUSE consumer notebook design philosophy with the HP Mini 210, Pavilion dv4 and ENVY 14.<br />
<br />
<strong>New products and services include:</strong><br />
- Less than 1-inch thin, the HP ProBook 5330m features a dual-tone color scheme, brushed aluminum chassis and backlit keyboard and is HP's first business notebook to offer BeatsTM Audio, which allows listeners to hear music the way the artist intended.<br />
- HP's smallest and lightest EliteBook at only 3.68 pounds, the newly designed HP EliteBook 2560p includes a 12.5-inch diagonal high- definition (HD) display, high-performance Intel® processor, and is the only notebook in the industry with an integrated optical drive in this form factor.<br />
- The redesigned HP Mini 210 sports vibrant new colors, HP Beats Audio and HP QuickWeb 3.0, creating an ideal mobile companion for on-the-go consumers.<br />
- HP DataPass is a pre-paid 3G mobile broadband service that allows users to purchase wireless broadband data using major mobile carriers in the U.S. without being tied down by contracts, hotspots and set-up fees.<br />
<br />
<strong>HP ProBook 5330m – thin, stylish and affordable</strong><br />
Designed for savvy business professionals who value style, performance and affordability, the HP ProBook 5330m measures less than 1-inch thick, weighs 3.9 pounds and sports a 13.3-inch diagonal HD screen for exceptional portability. It also includes a backlit keyboard, making it easier to type in low-light environments.<br />
<br />
The new ProBook is powered by the latest second-generation Intel Core i5 and i3 dual-core processors and includes the HP Fingerprint Sensor and TPM for enhanced hardware-based data security. Optional Intel vPro technology helps deliver cost savings and improves security and remote manageability.<br />
<br />
<strong>HP EliteBook 2560p and 2760p – light, powerful and travel-ready</strong><br />
Available in a stylish platinum color, the ultraportable HP EliteBook 2560p Notebook PC and EliteBook 2760p Tablet PCs blend modern design and precision engineering.<br />
The HP EliteBook 2560p sports a thin, clamshell design with a lightweight 12.5-inch diagonal LED-backlit HD, 16-inch x 9-inch display, and an integrated optical drive for added on-the-go convenience. Offering the same functionality as a conventional business notebook along with the flexibility of a writing tablet, the 12.1-inch HP EliteBook 2760p allows for pen use or finger touch.<br />
<br />
Both EliteBook models offer second-generation Intel Core i7 or i5 dual- core processors, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 and vPro technology. They also feature full-size 7,200 RPM hard disk drives and solid-state drives (SSDs) for longer battery run time, increased durability and quieter, cooler operation.<br />
<br />
<strong>HP Mini 210 – stylish, on-the-go computing</strong><br />
With the addition of Beats Audio, the redesigned HP Mini 210 is the ultimate companion PC, offering high-quality entertainment plus productivity while on the go. Weighing under 3 pounds and measuring less than 1-inch thin, the stylish HP Mini 210 delivers up to 9.5 hours of computing.<br />
<br />
The new Mini 210 design provides a modern, streamlined aesthetic with a sleek upswept back and is available in five colors – sweet purple, charcoal, crimson red, luminous rose and ocean drive.<br />
<br />
The Mini 210 also features HP QuickWeb 3.0, allowing users to be more productive by connecting to the web within seconds of powering the mini. QuickWeb 3.0 includes a customizable widget dashboard and syncs to Windows® bookmarks. Users can chat with friends on Skype, update Facebook posts or tweets, and view their social calendars all in one place.<br />
<br />
<strong>Innovative technologies for enhanced consumer experiences</strong><br />
The sleek, full-performance HP Pavilion dv4 features improved HP CoolSense technology that includes a simplified user interface of on, off and auto. CoolSense uses advanced hardware and intelligent software for a notebook that feels noticeably cooler. Weighing under 5 pounds, the dv4 boasts a 14-inch diagonal HD LED BrightView screen and comes in two HP Imprint colors – espresso black and pacific blue.<br />
<br />
Also featuring HP CoolSense technology is the award-winning HP ENVY 14 notebook PC. Combining power, mobility and aesthetics, the ENVY 14 includes new second-generation Intel Core processors, USB 3.0 and a new HP imagepad that uses image sensor technology for advanced gesture support and more fluid control. The premium machine boasts a precision-etched metal alloy case with a 14.5-inch diagonal, HD BrightView Infinity LED display for an eye-popping viewing experience and Beats Audio for fuller, more detailed sound.<br />
<br />
Protecting personal information and simplifying password management is easy with HP SimplePass with One Time Password, now available on the Pavilion dm4, dv6 metal and dv7 metal notebook PCs. HP SimplePass helps prevent phishing fraud by providing unique ―one-time‖ passwords that are linked to each individual user's fingerprint. These one-time passwords, generated every 60 seconds, grant more secure access to websites that store financial information.<br />
<br />
<strong>Docking and display solutions for a customized workspace</strong><br />
The new HP 2560p Docking Station makes it easy for business professionals to maintain the connectivity and comfort of their notebook while working from a fixed station. The docking station offers four USB ports and eSATA, DisplayPort and VGA ports for added connectivity to peripherals and compatibility with an array of video devices.<br />
<br />
HP's slimmest business display to date, the HP Elite L2201x display easily connects to a notebook with a single DisplayPort connector. Its sleek easel stand design and external power supply free up limited desk space in smaller office cubicles and the brushed-metal finish matches HP's EliteBook business notebooks. The HP Elite L2201x features a wafer-thin display panel measuring less than 0.4 inches thick and a 21.5-inch diagonal, LED backlit panel that eliminates the use of mercury and provides solid state reliability.<br />
