MacBook Air gets NVIDIA graphics, storage bump

Oct 14th 2008 2:58PM on Engadget

I'm sure the base price for the air used to be £1199 in the UK, and now its £1299. Funny how the base price in the US has stayed the same.

Skype coming for UIQ 3?

May 22nd 2007 5:13PM on Engadget Mobile

Well for one thing, the X-series plan from the UK carrier '3' offers skype calling as one of its features, and when the plan was announced they had 2 phones in the portfolio - the Nokia N73 and SE W950, which runs UIQ. At launch they only had the Nokia, but I'm not sure how things stand right now. Needless to say, I always took it for granted that a UIQ version of skype was on the way, otherwise they couldn't advertise it as a feature..

Sony's EV-DO-packin' VAIO VGN-TXN15P reviewed

Nov 8th 2006 6:47PM on Engadget

I don't know what laptops these sony-haters use, but I guarantee they aren't anywhere near as nice as this TX model..

I just with I could (legally) run OS X on it.

Nice. It reminds me of the Eames lounge chair.

Study: for most, all-in-one phones aren't

@ E:

As integrated and amazing as computers are today, I still have a phone, and a TV, and a stereo. I even have books! Clearly, integration doesn't mean the death of separate devices.

Study: for most, all-in-one phones aren't

For me, a phone is still a communication device. Calling, sms, email and in some cases web browsing / web services. I like phones that focus on these areas. I haven't been convinced by any phones that try to integrate mp3 playing or camera functionality. They just don't do it as well as my iPod or digicam.

Looks a helluva lot like the Sony TX series to me..

MacBook innards exposed!

May 18th 2006 3:47AM on Engadget

Tape, the first MacBook benchmarks suggest that it performs as well (if not better) than the pro. Really the only differences nowadays are the larger display and alu housing.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
