These amazing Dell Design Studio laptop covers somehow slipped past us, but that does not diminish their charm. Even our die-hard Mac lovers swooned at graphic designer Emil Kozak's Danish doodles, which are part of Dell's (Product) Red line of notebook covers, and whose proceeds go to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. The $65 price tag may be a stretch for some, but the covers' quirky designs ...

While 3-D TVs and slate PCs stole most of the attention at CES, there were plenty of interesting developments afoot in the normally mundane world of laptops and netbooks. (Yes, we're lumping them together. What is a netbook but a laptop for people with nothing to do but check Facebook?) There were laptops made out of recycled plastics, new connectivity technologies, surprising Linux demos, and ...

We're sure someone out there has already dubbed this the year of the tablet, and it's hard to blame them. Gadget makers all over CES were showing off slate and tablet devices of every stripe, some running NVIDIA's Tegra platform and Android, and some using Intel hardware to push Windows and Linux. But through the chaos, clear trends were forming, dividing lines being drawn. There were also a ...

AT&T is finally getting in on the Android party, promising to soon carry handsets from Motorola, HTC, and Dell. In total, five separate devices will be launching in the first half of 2010.

We're sure that all of you by now have at least heard of 'The Jersey Shore,' and that a few of the more masochistic among you have probably even watched the show. The latest piece of trashy reality TV from the now misleadingly named Music Television (MTV), has offended everyone from Italian Americans, to year-round residents of Seaside Heights, to the non-orange-skinned natives of Staten ...

While the computer's history might not stretch back too far, the ride has been anything but mundane. In fact, so much happened and changed with the computer in such a short span that it's not always easy to keep track. Organizing alphabetically is a good start, which is exactly what Neatorama did in a recent post.
The "Alphabet of Computing" breaks down the good, the bad, and the ugly of the ...

Some of us treat laptops like tanks, but that hard, plastic casing can only stand up to so much punishment. And if you've ever had the misfortune of paying for a laptop repair, you know the fix doesn't come cheap. CNET News wrote about computer repair company MicroReplay's list of the most common ways people send their laptops to the grave. According to the list, liquid on the keyboard is the ...

Your hard drive is like your pet; if anything were to happen to it, you just don't know what you would do. And it doesn't help that it's constantly being attacked on all sides by viruses, breakdowns, and overheats. To help deal with the problem, Dell announced yesterday that it will be offering encrypted solid state drives (SSD) from Samsung in the coming months, making Dell one of the first ...

The video posted after the break comes courtesy of Korean site, AVING, where the convertible tablet was apparently just released. ...

You know who's blabbing again? That reclusive set of business people who always seem to be "familiar with the matter," that's who. This time, they've got the Wall Street Journal in a twist over renewed rumors that Dell is "preparing a move into cellphones as early as next month." Next month, is of course the big cellphone coming out party known as Mobile World Congress in Barcelona -- an event ...

Dell decided to tease the Consumer Electronics Show crowd with only a few details of its Mini 10 netbook computer, which comes with built-in GPS. We don't yet have details on how capable this device will be in regards to geotagging, directions or other functionality. We also don't know when -- and at what price -- the Mini 10 will become available, but we'll provide more details as they ...
