Origin PC upgrading pre-Ivy Bridge orders with new silicon, asking nothing in return

Sure, you may need to shop around to find a replacement for that 11-inch number Dell pulled off the shelves, but that doesn't mean you need to miss out on a free Ivy Bridge upgrade. Origin PC tells us that it's offering the very same silicon swap as Dell to folks who pulled the trigger on any of its laptop and desktop PCs before Intel's big launch. If your order hasn't shipped yet, you're looking at an upgrade. Now if only we could find a manufacturer willing to hand out free GPU upgrades.

Microsoft Exec Explains Why The Surface Pro Tablet Has Terrible Battery Life (MSFT)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 100 days ago

In our review of Microsoft's new Surface Pro tablet, we mentioned the device's terrible battery life. In most cases, it only lasted about four hours on a charge. That's pretty bad compared to most laptops the Surface Pro is competing with. Microsoft's Panos Panay is doing a Q&A session on Reddit today about how the Surface Pro was built. Here's what Panay said when asked about battery life: The product was designed to take full advantage of Windows 8 coupled with the Ivy Bridge core processor from Intel. We created a product that did not compromise speed, performance in any way... Read similar

EA launches Origin for Mac alpha, includes free Bookworm

www.tuaw.com Randy Nelson 113 days ago

Electronic Arts announced today that it's bringing its Origin service to Mac, and that an alpha version of it is now available for download. According to EA, the alpha is being opened up to "a few thousand" users in North America and Europe. You can get the client from the Origin web store's demos page. Since this is an early release meant for tire-kicking, the actual Origin Store isn't yet available from within the app. Those who download the alpha, however, will be gifted with a free copy of PopCap's word-forming puzzle game Bookworm in the My Games library. It will remain there after the ... Read similar

Michael Dell sent an email to employees today telling them why the company will be awesome after a private-equity buyout. Because the company is in ongoing negotiations with investors, Dell filed a copy of the email with the SEC. The company's founder and CEO has a lot of PR work to do with Dell employees, some of whom could get the short end of the stick if any of the proposed deals with Silver Lake or other interested parties happen. Under the Silver Lake deal, all stock options that are underwater will be canceled, reports Ars Technica's Sean Gallagher. Employees will get $13.65 per sh... Read similar

Hands-on with Razer's Edge, a $999 gaming tablet / home console

www.engadget.com Ben Gilbert 130 days ago

The PC ecosystem is no longer as simple as it once was -- first there were desktops, then laptops, then tablets, then all-in-ones. Buying a PC now is more nebulous than it ever was. You could build your very own rig, piece-by-piece, or you could buy one of the many, many pre-fab options out there (or some mixture of the two, of course). And then there's even more outside-of-the-box options, like Razer's recently re-introduced Edge (aka "Project Fiona"), which occupies a space all its own. Part laptop, part tablet, part home console, and part portable console, the Razer Edge is the fruition o... Read similar

Fortune has officially said what many of us who have already gotten our hands on Apple's newest computer are thinking: the latest iMac is the "best ever." If you haven't played around with one yet, get down to an Apple store and see one for yourself. The images you've seen dancing around the web don't do it justice. More than ever, this Apple product makes its predecessor look stale and boring. Or, as I've said before, the new iMac makes the old iMac look like it was designed by Dell.

Satechi has just started shipping the new Smart Trigger, a US$44.99 Bluetooth add-on that makes it simple to turn your iOS device into a timer remote for your DSLR.
