US-based consumer electronics supplier Dell has unveiled its latest all-in-one desktop PC that caters to users who wish to have a working station with big touchscreen display minus the bulk of traditional desktop PCs.
The new Dell XPS 18 is equipped with a huge 18.4-inch touch screen display with full-HD resolution (1080p) and will be offered in three different variants. Looking closely inside, it is powered by Intel processor ranging from the cheapest Intel Pentium 2117U processor (with 1.8GHz, 2M cache) to Ivy Bridge Core i3-3227U (1.9GHz, 3M cache) or if you prefer a more high-end variant, the Core i5-3337U (2.7GHz 3M cache).
The starting level has the following specs: Intel HD Graphics 4000, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 320GB SATA HDD, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, Windows 8 64-bit, wireless keyboard and mouse and pre-loaded McAfee anti-virus (trial version). The higher-end models differ only in terms of processor and RAM (the second tier offers 4GB while the highest offers 8GB). All models weighs 4.85lbs which is a tad heavy for the ladies specially if they want to carry it around the house. Of course, it still depends on individual preferences.
Interested customers can now pre-order the XPS 18 AIO PC at Dell’s website. The desktop models cost $ 900, $ 1000 and $ 1349, respectively and are expected to ship by next month.

Lamborghini Pregunta has made a reappearance along with an asking price of $ 2.1 million or 1.6 million euros. The car’s history is quite complicated from the time it made its first appearance on 1998 at the Paris Auto Show and in 1999 at the Geneva Motor Show. The original concept was based on an order made in the 90’s for a concept car similar to Lamborghini’s Diablo car but with a shape that should not be confusing as to other concept cars.
The car, currently owned by Autodrome, was bought from Carrosserie Hueliez, the one who placed the order back then. Lamborghini had since been owned by Audi after a series of ownership transfers from Chrysler to the Megatech Group, then to Tommy Suharto before settling down with the Audi. As to the car’s specs and features, it is made of carbon fiber construction with a 530hp V12 engine giving it a top speed of 207mph.
The Lamborghini Pregunta sports a rear-wheel drive design which is different from the Diablo’s all-wheel drive. It is also fitted with a lot of “Aerospace” and Formula One features such as cockpit ergonomy (combat jet-derived), dynamic air intakes, and Marelli instruments (F-1 type). Anyone who have that extra $ 2.1 million may contact Autodrome through their website.
Vuzix, a company that’s into video glasses retailing, has been in the industry for several years now.

Just recently, Vuzix has announced that they are launching the fully digital see-through video glasses dubbed as Star 1200XLD.

As for its augmented reality features, the Star 1200XLD has motion tracking sensors of 3DOF and a full HD resolution camera that can be integrated for tracking and recognizing tangible objects. The camera has this unique feature of allowing 3D content that is computer generated to be locked and kept in a place then be used as an overlay to cover the user’s view of the real world. It also features a USB interface and can be used as a pair of see-through glasses that have the capacity to provide augmented reality through an ocular video eyewear embedded with a wild field of view measuring 35 degrees.
The displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, full-color enabled support, and resolution of 852 x 480. All of these features add up to Star 1200XLD AR Glasses’ hefty retail price of $ 4999.
