Most laptops are all the same these days, with very few exceptions. But when those exceptions creep up, we can’t help but take a closer look. So is the case with Toshiba’s Satellite U845W, which oddly sports a display aspect ratio of 21:9 on a 14.4-inch display. Now, this means that movie buffs will be able to watch 2.35:1 movies on this puppy without any black bars. So it’s clear right off the bat: this thing is built for entertainment.
But is it comfortable when you’re doing everything else?
We went hands-on with the laptop earlier this month and found a few features that make such a fat, stodgy screen a little more usable. For example, there’s a split-screen type feature built in that allows you to arrange windows based on pre-determined tiles, or custom tiles if you have the time to personalize a bit. So you drag and drop a Firefox window into one tile, and it automatically sizes it to cover the right-hand third of your screen, while maybe a movie plays in the left-hand two-thirds of your screen.
The issue is that you basically need to buy these new movies, download them (in whatever way you see fit) or watch YouTube. Most of our other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu don’t yet support the ratio. However, you can still watch a movie on Netflix in the standard 16:9 ratio with enough room for a little light browsing on the remaining real estate of the display. And certain programs like TweetDeck give you the most comprehensive view you’ve ever experienced, displaying 7 columns at once.
The notebook is powered by Intel’s 3rd gen Ivy Bridge processor, and promises at least 7.5 hours of battery life, complete with backlit keyboards and either 32GB SSD or 256GB SSD. It sports a display resolution of 1792×768 and comes equipped with Ethernet, HDMI, and 3 USB 3.0 ports, plus a sleep and charge port, meaning you can power up your smartphone or whatever else while the laptop is closed and asleep.
It’s a tad heavier than most everything on the market right now, at 3.5 lbs, but with that texturized rubber finish it is certainly comfortable in the hand. This is clearly a niche notebook but an interesting approach for Toshiba to take in a land of monotony.
The Satellite U845W will be available for purchase on July 15, 2012 starting at $ 999.99
Although we managed to get our mitts on the Wii U and updated GamePad here at E3 following Nintendo’s keynote, the recently unveiled Pro Controller turned out to be harder to find. We were thankfully able to visit the company’s amusement park massive booth on the show floor where we discovered the wireless peripheral, along with a GamePad, tethered to a demo of the upcoming Rayman Legends. Join us past the break for our initial impressions.

It was just yesterday that Nintendo unveiled the Wii U Gamepad, but today is the big announcement. Everybody welcome the Wii U.
The new console, coupled with the Gamepad, will change gaming entirely, according to Nintendo: “at its core, Wii U changes gaming, how you interact with your gaming friends, and it changes the way you enjoy your TV.”
That means Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Video and YouTube, along with the brand new form of gaming brought about by the marriage of the Wii U and the Gamepad.
The Gamepad sports a pressure-sensitive touchscreen along with traditional buttons and directional pad. Nintendo also packed an NFC reader/writer and a gyroscope/accelerometer.
The Wii U will support two different Gamepads.
The new controller will allow for viewing multiple screens (one on the TV of course, and one on your Wii U Gamepad), which the company showed off at their keynote this morning at E3. For example, in PikMin3, the Gamepad will display a three-dimensional map, allowing for a little added perspective.
The company is also introducing MiiVerse, which Nintendo refers to as a Main Street for gamers. Each of your friends will be displayed there in avatar form, and you’ll be able to share screen images, send text messages, and display your recent scores within the bubble hovering above your Mii.
Eventually, you’ll be able to join MiiVerse from any web-enabled device including the 3DS.
Nintendo promises that an ecosystem like MiiVerse will actually make you better at gaming. Especially in Super Mario Bros. U, MiiVerse will allow in-game communication with your friends to unlock hidden areas or beat an especially difficult level.
Nintendo has said its developing deeper games like PikMin3 to bring back the deeper game play to consumers, in a time when light gaming has picked up steam. But the company also wants to prove that even third-party titles will be mind-blowing on the Wii U.
The example used was Batman: Arkham City, Armored Edition, which was just unveiled on-stage. The Gamepad also comes into play here, allowing users to guide certain weapons with accuracy only offered by an accelerometer and gyroscope.
After a barrage of trailers, Nintendo has now moved on to talk about the fitness and music genres, talking about the Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus. But the Gamepad aims to make WiiFitU even more accessible. In a quick trailer, the company demoed how someone can do almost everything on the Wii Fit U through the Gamepad, if for some reason the TV is already in use.
The same idea holds true in the music department. For example, Nintendo’s Sing game will now display lyrics on the Gamepad itself, allowing for the singer to turn and address the group instead of staring at the TV.
The Wii U will be available around the holidays with no pricing information at this time.

Acer and Asus may have introduced Windows 8 machines in every form factor under the sun yesterday at Computex Taipei, and here’s another from compatriots MSI — the Slider S20, a “convertible ultrabook” with a hardware keyboard that slides out from under the screen. The sliding mechanism works well, with just the right amount of resistance and a satisfying pop into place. It comes across somewhat like an oversized Motorola Droid, with the useful exception that the keyboard doubles as a stand in the laptop-style configuration.
Obviously the Slider S20′s closed mode makes some compromises in thickness and weight next to a traditional tablet, but it wasn’t too unwieldy — and it’s important to note that there’s a full-fledged computer…

Think about it for a moment: do you recall a single instance when you were actually glad that you answered a telephone call from a blocked number? Unless that bill collector turned out to be your future spouse, the answer is likely no. Now, Google Voice users will find an extra perk in the online settings that should take the edge off of receiving calls from unknown sources. You’ll now find the ability to screen anonymous callers, whereby the system will prompt the individual to state their name, and only then will your phone ring. From there, you’ll have the option of answering the call, sending it to voicemail, or even listening in as the caller leaves a voice message — kinda like back in the days of answering machines. Similarly, you’ll also find the ability to apply this same screening process to callers who aren’t in your address book. As proof that Google isn’t a total grouch, it’s also thrown in a new option that allows you to customize a warm greeting for those contacts who are, in fact, in your address book. After all, it never hurts to show some love.
