HP Folio 13 priced at $800 HP

The company’s first ultrabook, the Folio 13 is now available for a lower price tag of $800 at Walmart, about $100 less than the standard model available on HP’s website. With an announced battery life of nine hours, this classic and compact machine has good hardware elements inside.

Powered by a 13.3-inch display and a standard resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, the laptop at Walmart features Intel’s i3 2367M processor clocked at 1.4GHz, 4 GB of RAM memory, 128 SSD memory, a good number of ports, Intel HD Graphics 3000 plus a built-in webcam, Bluetooth and Windows 7 Home Premium.

The online retailer has also other models in stock with higher configurations but for higher prices too. Only the basic model gets a more reasonable price tag. Market analysts expect to see a revolution in sales of ultrabooks, with a new marketing campaign to begin next month. A flood of new models will be hitting the market in the upcoming months, so we hope we’ll get to see a reduction of prices as the number increases.

Toshiba Satellite P885 3D laptop launched 2012 Previews

Toshiba has added its glasses-free 3D technology to its second tier Satellite range with the launch of the P885 laptop. The device also boasts a Blu-ray deck and a HD screen

Toshbia has announced the Satellite P885 laptop, the first in the series to bring the company's glasses-free 3D technology into the mix.

Toshiba Satellite P885

The 15.6-inch Satellite P885 comes boasting a HD screen, Harman Kardon speakers and an Intel iSeries processor along with an NVIDIA 630 GT graphics card and DDR3 memory.

However, it'll be the presence of the glasses-free 3D screen on a mid-range laptop which will really make the headlines. Previously, Tosh had pioneered the tech on laptops like its high-end Toshiba Qosmio F750 3D laptop.

The laptop allows users to view 2D and 3D content simultaneously, with Tosh explaining that: "Using advanced Toshiba technologies, each model uses a lenticular screen that sends individual images to each eye, creating the illusion of 3D depth in every frame. An integrated webcam tracks the position of the face and adjusts the 3D image accordingly, ensuring an optimum viewing experience is maintained."

The impressively-specced device also features a Blu-ray optical drive and up to 1GB hard-drive. There's also an HDMI out, Bluetooth 4.0 and four USB 3.0 outputs.

The Satellite P885 will go on sale in the second quarter of 2012 for the very reasonable price of £599.

LG Xnote A540 Laptop with 3D launched 2012

Korea's LG Electronics has expanded its Xnote A540 notebook lineup with the 3D-capable A540-T/D and the 2D but AH-IPS equipped A540-P. The first of the group, the glasses-free, 3D-capable A540-H, was introduced at CES. The T/D uses passive 3D glasses and uses the webcam to track users' eyes, maximizing the effect.

The aluminum-bodied notebook can also convert 2D content to 3D when users press a dedicated button. The notebook is SRS Premium Sound 5.1-certified, but only has four speakers and a subwoofer.

All are powered by a quad-core, second-generation Core i7 from Intel and use NVIDIA's GeForce GT555M for graphics.

While release dates weren't shared, they are expected to arrive before the spring. LG will price the basic IPS, non-3D model at 1.93 million won (about $1,700), the base 3D, glasses-free model at 2.25m won (nearly $2,000), and the 3D model that requires glasses at 1.7m won (some $1,500).
