If we stimulated both visually and tactilely, our user experience and our relationship to our tools change?

VIZIO announced of Windows 8

PC newcomer Vizio has announced their Windows 8 holiday lineup consisting of two all-in-one desktops, two Ultrabooks and a single notebook.

 All systems include third generation Intel Core processors and ship with Microsoft’s Signature seal of approval meaning bloatware will be kept to a minimum.

The 24-inch and 27-inch AIO systems utilize full 1080p displays described by PCMag as eye-popping although as I pointed out in a recent review of HP’s Omni 27 AIO, 1,920 x 1,080 is a relatively low resolution for such a large screen. The same would likely hold true for Vizio’s new 27-inch AIO, but I digress. Both systems use a 10-point capacitive touchscreen to take advantage of Windows 8’s interactive environment. A 2.1 audio system with built-in subwoofer comes standard as well. Select models will ship with an Nvidia Kepler-class GPU for added graphical processing power. Pricing starts at $998 for the 24-inch AIO with a 500GB hard drive.

 New for Windows 8 are two Thin + Light Ultrabooks; the first includes a 14-inch display while the latter ships with a larger 15.6-inch screen. There’s no touch support on board but Vizio hopes the multi-gesture trackpad will help make up for the deficiency.

 Look for these two portables to start at $849. Vizio’s new 15.6-inch isn’t touch-enabled either but will ship with a similarly-enhanced trackpad like those found on the Ultrabooks. Pricing here starts at $1,129, we’re told.


The company will begin taking pre-orders for the Thin + Light systems starting tomorrow. AIO Touch PCs will be available at Vizio.com and key retailers like Amazon.com, MicrosoftStore.com and Walmart.com this holiday season

15 megabits / s via satellite

Abandoned for ADSL and cable, there is a solution that continues to evolve: the satellite. And the U.S. supplier offering a new HughesNet, the "Gen4". With this new offering, flows increase: 15 Mb / s downstream and 2 Mbit / s transmission, or values ​​close to a good ADSL connection.

Limits, as often If the rates are attractive, the price is not $ 50 Basic (10/1), $ 80 for the offer "Pro" (10/2) and $ 100 for the offer "Max" (15 / 2). Then there is obviously the latency (ping), which is high. This limitation will never be removed: it depends on the distance between the satellites and the ground will remain high. In absolute terms, the minimum latency is 240 ms, excluding the latency between the ISP and the server.

 Unlike some European ISPs, HughesNet still imposes limits on volumes. Management is quite complicated: Subscribers receive 10, 15 or 20 GB of data transfer per month, with 10, 15 or 20 GB in addition to use during "peak hours" (2:00 to 8:00 am). In some offers, there is also a daily limit beyond which the speed limit is reportable but the next day (and combined). In the end, the offer is interesting for people who can not access the Internet with more conventional means (without limitation), even if the rates are high.
