Toshiba outs Satellite E45t / E55 mid-range laptops, Intel models have Dragon Assistant pre-loaded

Toshiba outs Satellite E45t / E55 mid-range ultraportables, Intel models have Dragon Assistant pre-loaded

A few months after introducing its Kirabook flagship, Toshiba is back with some mid-range laptops that bring some of the same understated design elements. The 14-inch Satellite E45t Ultrabook and the 15-inch E55, announced today, have the same pared-down look as the Kirabook, except they're made of aluminum instead of pressed magnesium, and the bottom isn't made of metal but rather, textured plastic. The screen resolution is also lower, at 1,366 x 768; these are middle-of-the-road machines, after all. On the bright side, they all support 802.11ac WiFi -- of a surprise on otherwise humdrum systems like these. The E45t, which will be sold only at Best Buy and on Toshiba's site, comes in just one configuration, with a Core i5 Haswell processor and a 500GB hard drive paired with an SSD. Perhaps most interesting, though, is that the E45t will come with Dragon Assistant on board for simple voice commands (think: shutting down the computer, doing a web search, controlling multimedia playback, et cetera). You can expect to find that next week, on August 4th, with a suggested retail price of $818, though a Toshiba rep told us it'll likely sell for $799.99 once it actually hits shelves. Just a heads-up.

The 15-inch version, meanwhile, will be offered with either a Core i5 processor and touchscreen (that's the E55t) or a quad-core A6 APU. There are actually two AMD models: one configuration comes with a touchscreen (that would be the E55Dt) and one has a non-touch panel (that's the E55D). Strangely, the non-touch model also offers lesser storage; that has a 750GB HDD, while the touch version goes up to a full terabyte. Either way, you get a number pad, which you won't find on the 14-incher, though you'll be missing out on that Dragon Assistant app with the AMD models. These will be available in September, a little later than the 14-inch model, with the non-touch E55D going for $580 and the touchscreen E55Dt priced at $700. We haven't yet confirmed pricing for the E55t, that lone Intel-based model, but we'll update this post once we do.

Tablets for government: Surface Pro from Microsoft

Microsoft Surface Pro

Tablets for government: Surface Pro from Microsoft

The tablet has become an integral part of the mobile plans of many agencies, complementing and, in? some cases, even replacing laptop and desktop PCs. Different models of tablets have different strength and weaknesses, and which one is right for your agencies depends on your own needs. This week, we take a close look at five popular tablets and what they offer agencies.

The Surface Pro from Microsoft could be a popular choice among government IT administrators, given its large, clear display and processing power. But the larger size and weight of this device might make it less popular among some end users. Its price starts at $899 for 64G versions, $999 for 128G and a just-released 256G version for $1,200.

What works for government agencies

The Surface Pro?s 10.6-inch ClearType HD wide-screen 10-point multi-touch display is nice and bright, though there are some visibility problems in indirect sunlight or brighter environments. The keyboard cover that came with the model we tested snaps into place, and when combined with the built-in ?kickstand,? it provides a pretty close approximation to a notebook or desktop experience.

The Intel Core i5 processor with Intel HD Graphics 4000 and 4G of memory is a powerful combination, making the Surface faster than tablets that rely on the lower power Atom Z2760. We were able to open and run multiple apps without any noticeable sign of lagging, allowing an agency user to multitask effectively.
The Surface Pro had a decent number of accessory ports, including a full-size USB 3.0 port, a Micro-SDXC card reader and a MiniDisplay port. The power adapter also has a full-sized USB port, which lets users charge another device at the same time.

What might not work for government agencies

The Surface Pro does come with some security features. For instance Windows 8 Pro?s built-in BitLocker feature can encrypt the Surface Pro?s hard drive. However, there are no hardware-based security features, as some agencies may require.

And as might be expected of a device with a powerful processor and the ability to run multiple apps, battery life can suffer with heavy use.

Like the keyboard cover port, the power adapter port is magnetic, which can be a safety bonus in some situations. However, that port is also where the pen device is stored. So users can?t charge the tablet while storing the pen. Those who need to be able to recharge while on the go might end up losing the pen.

Probably the biggest issue users might have with Microsoft Surface Pro is the weight. Two pounds might not seem like a lot, but after holding it for more than five minutes, users will feel it, and they probably won?t like it. This might eliminate the Surface Pro from consideration from certain types of jobs, such as certain medical environments, but it should work well in places such as the classroom.

Next-gen Nexus 7 said to launch in coming weeks

Nexus 7 2 Release Date

A new report claims the next-generation Nexus 7 tablet is just around the corner. According to Digitimes, Google and ASUS are planing to launch a second-generation Nexus 7 in late July or early August. The tablet will reportedly feature an upgraded 7-inch display with 1980 x 1200-pixel resolution along with a quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera and a 5-megapixel camera on the back. It has been estimated that Google could sell as many as 8 million units worldwide, however some analysts are skeptical because of the increased number of low-cost tablets available today. The second-generation Nexus 7 is expected to be priced between $199 to $249 for the Wi-Fi only model.
