Once a well-known developer and vendor of computers and related products and services, Compaq has finally reached the point where its name is about to become history.
And by “become history” we don't mean to say that it will make some grand achievement, but that it will finally become a thing of the... |

The fourth quarter of Lenovo's fiscal year 2012 ended on March 31 and the company has finally finished tallying its sales and purchases.

Lenovo's workstation line is always growing, even though it is already quite large, and now we get to lay our eyes on the ThinkStation E31 series. The ThinkStation E31 series has just two members, which are really the same hardware configuration with different clothing and luggage. The big one is a full tower... |

ASUS, like many other companies, sells fully configured systems in addition to individual hardware parts, so it stands to reason that it would have a gaming line of desktops and laptops.

In case it wasn't already clear, HP is not, in fact, the only company to refresh its product line today, although it does have the largest collection of new or updated devices to talk about.
For those who missed it, HP released thirty devices for the business market alone, which means that the Pavilion noteboo... |

There are three desktops in Maingear's product lineup that use Intel's new central processing units, so we may as well cover them here, like we did with Digital Storm's and Velocity Micro's machines. We should have probably mentioned HP's dvt6 and dvt7 workstations, but those things are lap... |

Acer didn't go through very good times in 2010 and 2012, in no small part due to the collapse of the netbook market.

Now that Intel's Ivy Bridge central processing units are finally live, PC makers are busy launching computers powered by them, and HP is no exception.
The reason we used the word “presents” instead of “launches” in the title is the simple fact that HP did not, in fact, launch any all-ne... |

Among the large masses of people around the world, a relatively small percentage actually know enough about the subtle and not so subtle differences between desktop and laptop PC components.

It looks like some Japanese built to order (BTO) desktop PC makers really can't wait for the Ivy Bridge processor platform, having hurried to be the first to release computers equipped with the latest motherboards.

It looks like PC case makers haven't been slacking off, with Nox Xtreme joining its peers (BitFenix, Raidmax, etc.) in launching or upgrading such things.
Granted, that isn't quite accurate. Nox Xtreme hasn't actually done either of those two things at all.

There is a new high-end case for sale, one that has a fair chance of overshadowing most others, even rival high-end ones, through its price alone if nothing else.
