El Segundo, Calif. — The time when more computer memory was considered a necessity for improved PC performance may be coming to an end.
A recent study by IHS iSuppli indicated that design changes — including the adoption of ultra-slim laptops and the fact that Windows 8 did not require additional DRAM to function properly — has OEMs scaling back how much memory is now being placed in devices.
Las Vegas – Samsung Electronics rolled out its International CES offerings early introducing today two new Ultrabooks.
The new devices, the Chronos and Ultra, are part of the Samsung Series 7 family.
The Ultra is a super-slim model featuring a 13.3-inch Full HD display. There is also an option to add a 10-point multi-touch to the Ultra. The device weighs 3.6 pounds and has a bare metal finish.
El Segundo, Calif. – Shoppers are not being swayed by the hype surrounding Ultrabooks and all-in-one PCs, but are sticking with low-priced laptops and desktops.
Also causing sales problems for these high-end systems are the public’s infatuation with tablets and smartphones.
IHS iSuppli reported that only 6 percent of computer sales took place in the premium, $1,000 or higher, price band in 2012.
New York – Microsoft at midnight today, after months of anticipation, officially launched Windows 8, the Surface tablet and Windows Phone 8.
