New ASUS Pro Line of Business Notebooks Price in Pakistan
ASUS has Lenovo square in its sights with its ASUS Pro brand of business notebooks. Based on Ivy Bridge silicon (longer upgrade cycles in business, Haswell will come later), the ASUS Pro lineup is clearly designed to mimic the no-frills design of Lenovo’s ThinkPad line. Although not new to Computex, this is the first time we’ve talked about ASUS Pro on the site.

We’re now on the third iteration of Intel’s Ultrabook strategy, and with Haswell’s launch now behind us we’ll be seeing a lot of new laptops and Ultrabooks with the new CPUs. After some early missteps, we’re hopeful that this will be the proverbially charming third time. Acer and ASUS have shown off some of their offerings, and now it’s time to look at what Sony is up to.

New Razer Haswell-based Blade, Blade Pro Gaming Notebooks Price in Pakistan, Review
New Razer Haswell-based Blade, Blade Pro Gaming Notebooks Price in Pakistan, Review
We’ve spent a fair amount of time with the first two generations of Razer Blade, and honestly really enjoyed most of it. The original Blade released as a highly ambitious 17” Sandy Bridge gaming notebook from a company that previously had no history in the PC space. While the design was very polished, it had issues with performance, thermals, driver stability, and above all, price. The second generation Blade released with Ivy Bridge and improved on all of its predecessor’s issues – far more compute and GPU horsepower, a refined cooling design, and it was a good bit cheaper, to boot. Now, with Haswell right around the corner, we have the third generation of Blade. And this time, there are two of them.

New Toshiba Portege Z10t Notebooks Price in Pakistan
Convertibles that can jump between being tablets and full-on notebooks are becoming an increasingly popular option due to both the design of Windows 8 and, to a greater extent, the gradual convergence between those product types. We’re not quite at the point where anyone has nailed it without making some kind of serious sacrifice, but we’re definitely getting there and the experimentation by different vendors is nothing if not interesting.

New Mythlogic Callisto 1512 (Clevo W550EU) Ultrabook Price in Pakistan
While boutiques and SI’s have traditionally had a pretty decent stronghold where the consumer desktop was concerned, the notebook market has been a lot more unstable. Vendors like AVADirect, CyberPowerPC, iBuyPower, Puget Systems, and today, Mythlogic, are all essentially at the mercy of primary ODMs like Clevo, Compal, and MSI to give them whitebooks they can custom build for their customers.

New HP Spectre XT TouchSmart Ultrabook Price in Pakistan, Review
New HP Spectre XT TouchSmart Ultrabook Price in Pakistan, Review
As we saw last week with Mythlogic’s Callisto 1512, ultrabooks in the 15.6″ form factor are strange beasts. It’s pretty clear the industry as a whole is moving towards thinner, lighter notebooks at every traditional size; Intel’s ULV processors aren’t as fast as the standard voltage parts, but they’re close enough that it can be difficult to justify the added bulk of a thicker machine.
