When Vizio entered the Windows PC market earlier this year, company CTO Matt McRae told us that the manufacturer “didn’t skimp on a single thing” on its very first line of PCs. The laptops stand out because they’re free from ugly stickers, bloatware, and clunky design, and Vizio wanted to package it all with an affordable price to revolutionize the PC industry. Our own Sean Hollister reviewed Vizio’s 15.6-inch Thin + Light and he certainly found an affordable, attractive laptop, but his experience was marred by the computer’s three-hour battery life, laggy touchpad, and unresponsive keyboard.
This time, we’ll take a look at the smaller 14-inch Thin + Light, with a 1.7GHz Core i5 processor and 128GB of solid state storage….
Watch out for iPad mini rumors! They’re dropping left and right, and odds are, at least a few of them are going to be on target.
The latest state that the so-called iPad mini will be thinner than the Kindle Fire the overall thickness that of the iPod touch 4G. That would put the smaller iPad at 7.2mm, nearly 25% thinner than the new iPad. The device’s screen reportedly measures 7.85-inches although there doesn’t seem to be a consensus among reports concerning the device’s form factor and design. It might look a large iPod nano rather than a small iPad.
According to a report published by Japanese Mac site Macotakara, the prototype for the rumored iPad mini looks like a 3rd generation large iPod nano. This means the device likely still uses employs tapered sizes although perhaps in a different fashion. The report also states that a 3G model is planned, too, although it doesn’t state if 3G is included or optional like in the current iPad lineup.
This different design and capabilities would likely help Apple sell the iPad mini without cannibalizing the full size iPad’s sales. It’s within reason that the iPad mini will not use a retina screen and use smaller storage options — maybe just 8GB. That said, expect Apple to use the dual-core A5X SoC to give the iPad mini as much computing horsepower as possible.
Reportedly the Foxconn will start making the device in Brazil this September with the announcement and release coming prior to the holidays.

Question by : How does the oled result in the tv being made to be so thin?
Best answer:
Answer by CedricIn a LCD/LED screen, each pixel don’t emit their own light; they are only a filter. LCDs need a back light behind the “filter” to actually light them up. In a LCD, the back light is a cold cathode tube, which is kinda big. In a LED, they are LEDs lights, so smaller than a LCD, but still not perfectly thin.
In a OLED screen, each pixel emits their own light, so there is no need for an additional layer behind. This result in a thinner screen.

NEC did it again: about 11 months after unveiling the world’s slimmest smartphone at that time, the company is ready to release another super-thin Android phone with a set of impressive specs (via Japan’s biggest mobile carrier NTT Docomo). Dubbed MEDIAS ES N-05D [JP], the handset will hit Japanese stores in February or March this year.
NEC rolled out quite a few Medias-branded Android phones in recent months, but this model is just 6.7mm thin and has the best specs.
Here are the main features:
- Android 2.3.6
- waterproof body
- 4.3-inch LCD with 720×1280 resolution
- 8.1MP CMOS camera with NEC’s Exmor R for mobile engine
- dual-core MSM8260 CPU (1.5GHz)
- 1GB RAM
- 4GB internal memory
- Bluetooth 4.0
- Wi-Fi
- NFC e-wallet function
- infrared connection
- digital TV tuner
- microSD card slot, microUSB slot
- 1400mAh battery
- connectivity to Casio’s G-SHOCK GB-6900 watch
- size: 130×67×6.7mm, weight: 110g
The MEDIAS ES N-05D might reach markets outside Japan at some point in the future, but there is no official word from NEC yet.
