Review: Razer Blade R2 Gaming Notebook

Razer Blade R2 Gaming Notebook

Razer, a company known primarily for making gaming-specific mice and keyboards, released its first Blade laptop — in fact, its first computer — in early 2012.

The original Blade received mixed reviews, and the company wasted no time in hustling out an update. The original model is actually still being sold (originally $2,800, it’s now $2,300), but Razer is clearly hoping you will jump for this update, which confusingly has the same name as the original model, for “just” $2,500.

HTC shows off one X+

The One X+. You have to get to for the Shift key just to category it out, but as names go it's neither unexpected nor inaccurate. In fact, it paints just the right picture, because this is still the same global.

On the hardware front, the One X+ has a quicker Tegra 3 alternative that clocks in at max of 1.7GHz,an enlarged 2,100mAh to keep the locomotive turning over, a capacity boost to 64GB.

Most other specs stay the same, including the 8-megapixel rear camera, 1GB of RAM and the lovely 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 Super LCD 2 display. The UK handset we played with was also trapped on 3G, exit it unable to party on the budding British LTE scene,

In terms of software, HTC's skin has been customized to work on top of Jelly Bean and brings a host of slight improvements from both Google and the company.

Sharp 5-inch 1080p display eyes-on: You want to get your next phone

Sharp’s new 5-inch, 1080p LCD panels have come out to wow at CEATEC, and at 443ppi they already have us looking at our current phones with disappointment and disgust.

Fewer layers mean the image appears closer to the top level of glass. There’s no touch layer in place yet.

Sharp is keeping its customer details close to its chest, and the company wouldn’t say who it was talking with regarding actually putting the new 5-inch display into products. Although the company is already an Apple supplier, right now the Cupertino firm doesn’t have a 5-inch device in its range.
