Nexus II 7 a.k.a Refresh surfaces

US based retailer BestBuy announced its pre-order for the 16gigs and 32gigs variants.

Google launched the second variant of Asus Nexus 7, a hit of its time,  the Nexus refresh, some even are calling it Nexus II 7" (not sure which one is correct).  So far, the oral specs go like 

this: Snapdragon S4 Quad-core processor running at a clock speed of 1.5GHz and a 2GB of RAM on the top of it. 

Display size hasn't been changed, i.e 7" with a poppy 'n' creamy resolution of 1920*1200 pixels leaving a pixel density of  ~320 ppi. (the resolution on the benchmarks is 1824*1200 because of the onscreen buttons cover the remaining area) 

The tab is going to run on the upgraded 4.3 JellyBean version of Android, which promises to have exclusive improvements, including Bluetooth 4 LE allowing the battery to drain slower, as it lefts almost zero footprints of Bluetooth being turned on. Also, the overall RAM usage will be less(30 percent lesser than before), they say.

The AnTuTu benchmark I am showing is the same which Android Police revealed with their hands-on with this charm. [I haven't tested this product yet]. Nexus II 7 scores 18,000, which according to me will be great for a general tablet user.

Hasta-la-Vista,

have techie and geeky day ahead readers.

Acer Iconia Touchbook Is Here!!

           Hello gadgets lovers, in this post I am mentioning the recently launched Acer Iconia Touchbook, which is a member of the Iconia family. 

           In Acer's own website, it says that 

           "Acer Iconia is the world’s most advanced touchbook. Dual screens. Full touch interface. A truly unique experience."

           In this UNIQUE laptop, Acer has mentioned 2 screens, as the TOUCH says... and the lower screen is more responsive than the main screen (as the reviews say). The lower screen is made of a Gorilla Glass, so scratches are less-than-rare. Both the screens measure 14" diagonally. Well, the HDD space and RAM memory will vary from country to country and budget-to-budget. Besides, this 'Dual-Screen' laptop runs on Windows 7 OS and will sport Intels 2nd Gen-Core processors.The price of this 'Touchbook' is about INR. 70,000 (Ouch!!!)

            But many times, this laptop may be sluggish in performance, and there are many Cons of this device. So the regular laptops with Physical Keybaord would be a better deal....

Verdict: Instead of spending Rs.70,000 I would recommend to buy a HP Pavilion G42 laptop with Core i3 processor, a 3GB DDR-3 RAM, and a 320/500 GB HDD for only 33,000 Rs.

                    And,in the remaining money you can buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab or Apple iPad :) so smile....

Hope, you like this post also ;)
