Lenovo has entered the 3D world with their new IdeaPad Y560d 3D notebook, which has now gone on sale through the company’s online store. The new notebook uses the TriDef 3D system and is priced starting at $1399, depending on the various options you hook it up with. The TriDef system consists of the display, the glasses, and the software. The latter is of particular interest as Lenovo says the “TriDef Media Player” and “TriDef Photo Transformer” software will be able to convert and display conventional 2D video or photos as full viewable 3D

Adobe has officially started serving up Flash Player 10.1 on its download pages. This will be the first runtime release of the Open Screen Project, which aims at enabling consumers to “engage with rich internet experiences seamlessly across any device, anywhere”.

What? Did Intel release a new processor or something? HP is just the latest PC vendor to make the Core i7 jump as it plans to put its new TouchSmart 600 Quad series up for sale starting today. The beefed up 23-inch all-in-one starts at $1,699 with options for a 1.6GHz Core i7 720QM or 1.73GHz Core i7 820QM Intel quad-core processor. Otherwise, the rest of the specs remain unchanged for this Windows 7 AIO. Still, if you've been waiting to pull the trigger since hearing about this update from our December leaks, well, keep refreshing that source link boy, it'll be

Back in the beginning of December, when Dell outed its business-oriented, 17-inch Precision M6500 laptop, it boasted some pretty meaty specs: Core i7 CPU, up to 16GB of DDR3 memory, a choice of ATI FirePro M7740 or NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800M graphics chips, plus support for up to three storage devices, and a 1920x1200 LED-backlit display. Well, it's added some new configuration options today, including USB 3.0 and a Core i5 processor, making this one bad boy all around. There's no word on the pricing yet, but the previously available Core i7 configuration runs around

In the market for new desktop machinery? Gateway's gone ahead and given its gaming-centric FX series a facelift for the new year -- nothing Alienware-esque crazy, but we do like the accessible ports up top, right next to the control dial for LED-infused lighting effects. Enough about the superficial, let's go inside: a 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 processor, ATI Radeon HD5850 with 1GB discrete memory, 1.5TB HDD with additional expansion bays, up to 16GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and a $1,299 starting price. There's a 16x DVD drive, and if you don't mind forking over a

For me, the all-in-ones are always better than a customary desktop and especially when you consider the HP TouchSmart 600 Quad series, there is hardly anything to argue. The processors in the previous variants were good enough to make the TouchSmart 600 perform well but, it seems that HP wasn’t itself convinced and hence it has released a beefed up version of the all-in-one.

The 23-inch all-in-one will now be available with 1.6GHz Core i7 720QM or 1.73GHz Core i7 820QM Intel quad-core processor options and the starting price

For some among us, the VAIO E series is the pinnacle of modern mobile computing design. Then there are other, saner individuals, who prefer the understated aesthetics of what are commonly termed business laptops. For that latter group, we have a whole glut of new Toshiba notebooks to look at, highlighted by the delectable looking Portege M780 above. Much in the vein of HP's 2730p, it's a 12.1-inch convertible tablet PC, with a spill-resistant keyboard and rugged features (tested to withstand drops from up to 1 meter), but its biggest attraction will still likely

Toshiba is making a few new additions to their line of notebooks. They have now announced four new machines available from right now in the US. This includes the 15.6-inch Tecra A11, the Core-i7 packing Qosmio X500 , Satellite Pro L450 and Satellite L500.

More details and specs below.

These didn't quite make it off the boat before CES, but if it's a new Toshiba laptop you've been searching for, you can still get some satisfaction before the end of this month. The outfit has just announced that four of its machines are available in the US starting right this very moment, including the 15.6-inch Tecra A11 (starts at $879). This one packs an integrated numpad, NVIDIA GPU, an undisclosed new Intel CPU and a charcoal black chassis. Moving on, that Qosmio X500 workhorse that we first heard about late last year finally has its shipping papers (and a $1,549
