I'm assuming you don't mean dual core cpu? The a8 is single core unlike the mali gpu but still looks very good value.

This reminds me of the viewsonic gtablet I got for free, rooted it with hc and then gave away for free. It had decent hardware for how old it was, but weighed enough to kill someone if you needed to use it for self defense purposes
It wasn't "the hot thing" on the market though, so custom roms for it were rare because it'd be like putting a custom paint job on a Kia... fail.
If people buy these things and there is support in the dev community out there it could be good, but I keep hearing this voice in my head thats saying "you get what you pay for".

Seems interesting, but may be too good to be true (especially the price)

If the price is legitimately that low, no hesitation purchase from me

Need some 3rd party-no interest-help

Good day gentlemen (and lady nerds),
Though I consider myself knowledgeable in desktops, I find it better to include a third party to aid me in making a decision in purchasing a desktop. To make it easy...these are the things I'm looking for (to narrow the possibilities)
Will be going to Best Buy---I know...but I really have never had any issues with them...besides, the person helping can look at their website for specs.
Desktop options:
Pretty much open to anything (see??? It wasn't hard!!) Looking for:
dual layered dvd/rw lightscribe drive
at least 500gb
4gb ddr2 sdram mem
Price range --- up to $500 US (or 6 million pesos +QuePPC)
capable of handling photo and video editing without me having to wait 10 minutes to apply changes...
I just need to replace my current desktop, as it feels like its beginning to run on fumes (already 5 1/2 years old)---poor fella...
**off topic--went to Mexico as a child and found a coin...person told me that it was like 5,000 pesos and I was like, "Man!!! I'm rich!!!!" Went to a store...and came out with a stale, spicy piece of candy...rip off!!!
I dont know if its will be in your price range but!!!
Intel core i7 920 (the cheapestof i7 but can be OCd to 4ghz)
Nvidia Geforce 9600 and up (like 9800 or gts250) or a good ati card like 4870 (about the same power a Nvidia geforce 260 - but much cheaper)
about the other stuff -well if this all will be in you price range - then find something that is compatible with this!!
Good Luck!

500US is not 6 million pesos
500US = 6,651MX
We do not have a 5,000 pesos coin!
The biggest coin is like 20 pesos
Unless you came México before 1985...

You're wasting your time going to bestbuy.
I build systems regularly and you can get a brand new i5 system with a dedicated video card for about 600. It's more than you were looking to spend, but FAR superior to what you'd get at bestbuy for the money. If you're interested, I can piece something together at an online retailer and email it to you. I just hate seeing people pay more for less in a store.
Okay...how about this then?
Looked up a site...and just plugged in some specs...
can I do better than this at a 585 price????
Take something like Pentium DualCore E5200, cheapest 4GB RAMs 800/1066MHz (they actually might be cheaper lol), WD6400AAKS harddrive (640GB, fast, awesome), 400W Seasonic PSU, GTS250 GPU, Gigabyte G31 motherboard (or P35 ASUS or anything like that) plus other things you need (dvdrw, casing). I hope it can fit in 500$ (it's not that much tbh).
PS: You can easy overclock the E5200, all of them goes at least to 3.3GHz
This setup runs at $513 US...is this decent?
That's better, but the GPU I don't like (crappy drivers), plus harddrive would be better WD6400AAKS since it is faster. Why the hell did you choose crappy nvidia 7100 motherboard? Take cheapest G31 or P35 MoBo.
If this is maximum you can pay, take it. Still, the price seems pretty high for me.

We received an interesting tip today about a new LG Android smartphone named Optimus 4X. While the above render is not that conclusive, the thir screenshot reveals some rather interesting hardware specifications.
If this tip turns to be in some way true, LG Optimus 4X smartphone at its 8mm thin will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, boasts a 5.3 OLED HD touchscreen (an outrages 2650×1900 pixel resolution i would say), powered by a 2.2GHz processor, Mali T-604 GPU, 2.5 MB of RAM, 64GB of ROM (built-in memory storage), 4G LTE technology (up to 75Mbps), microSD card slot up to 32GB and a 3200mAh battery.
LG Optimus 4X also could sport an 18MP camera on the back, NFC-enabled, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and more. The whole list of specs looks out of this world for an Android device but in a world where the first Android tablet runs a Quad-core CPU since 2011. Who knows what 2012 has in stored for us. Anyways take it with a pinch of salt until get any kind of confirmation.

The phone is gonna be massive?
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
LG needs to establish itself as one of the top phone manufacturers. This is the kind of phone that would put them on top.
Sounds like somebody just added all his wet dreams into one model and then just doubled all values for good measure going "teheeheeeee". That phone is physically impossible to build atm inside a reasonably small and thing phonesized case, I'd say. Plus, a way to large jump. Why would a maker give up all the sales he can do with minute little improvements from year to year? That Mali GPU must be a wonfrous chip, if it wants to beat all other phones at 3D speed at that resolution. But who knows, maybe the pictrues are misleading and it's actually a huge brick

No I don't think vapourware will help LG. This is very very fake.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Just saying, I would buy any phone if it had a 2650×1900 resolution (at a reasonable price).
But yeah... definitely a fake.
The comparison written in Korean said...
the UI is Touchwiz 5.0
and the Screen using OLED isn't make sense.
I guess it is fake about the spec..
The one who post that comparison make a mistake, or a joke to us.
but, who knows? only LG does..
But one thing I'm pretty sure, LG would name one device called 4X in the future.
this is a fake news and fotos
if design on real phone, was like the one on pictures - this phone would be priceless)

Help me find a good notebook

First, I won't buy it soon. Just looking for one to have ideia about what notebook to choose. So, being launched until end of 2013 isn't problem for me.
So, I want:
-Processor: Intel Core i5 or i7 (Ivy Bridge, if possible).
RAM: 6 to 8 Gb
HD: + or - 500 Gb, or a SSD with a big capacity.
Screen: 14 to 16 inches, maybe FullHD.
Keyboard: Not needed, but numeric keyboard is a good. A must is retro-iluminated keyboard. Maybe controls for music (Play/Pause, Backward (forgot the word!!!), Next and volume control.
Graphics Card: No need for the best, only something that can play games quite nice, as playing won't be the main use.
Weight: The less, the better.
Size: The thinest as possible.
Connectivity: 1 HDMI, 1 VGA, 3 or 4 USBs (preference for 3.0, at least 2.0), CD/DVD Reader/Recorder. Blu-Ray not needed, but optional. 1 SD/MicroSD (there is a notebook that hava Micro SD?). Don't use many others. Bluetooth not needed, but if possible, I want.
Color/Finish: Piano Black or something Grey. Suggestions accepted.
Another things I may have forgotten, please ask.
Use will be browsing, wathing movies/series, light to medium editior programs usage, gaming, songs (a lot) and, of course, Android user things.
Thanks for the help.
It will serve you well.

Yes I know, got one myself. Asus K53SV-SX838V. It got an I7 2670QM 2.2Ghz, 8GB Ram, Nvidia GT 540M 1GB, 640GB HDD.
But well you got look for yourself, Asus K53 is the serie I have, they have them in several options, I got the better option. This one should fill your needs for sure.

I've always been partial to Toshiba. Never had any hardware related problems with them.

I have an HP, and although they aren't that reliable, their performance is outstanding, especially the dv7 series. Go for one of these, Toshibas are also extremely durable and reliable.
OK. Thanks for your help. I was just searching for ideas.

Computer specifications thread.

Just an off-topic post. Wondering if anybody else built their own computer on here, and if so what specs and what was the overall price? Mine is as follows:
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 AM3+ socket motherboard. USB 3.0 slots, 6 SATA III ports, 4 RAM slots supporting up to 32GB, Award BIOS v6.
AMD Athlon II X3 450 3.2Ghz - unlocked 4th core, now a Phenom X4 B50 3.2Ghz.
ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT610 GPU, 2GB memory.
8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport 1333Mhz - overclocked to 1600Mhz.
Some crappy £20 case with a 500W power supply included.
7.1 HD Sound Card.
That's about it. Cost me £280 in total, and it gets 5.2 on the Windows Experience index (would be 6.9 if the GPU didn't let me down on Windows Aero)
This could go in here :

I have a pretty large keyboard. Goes by the name of the Dell SK-8135. I use this for gaming, I much prefer having large keys that let you know when you have pressed them than some laptop keyboard on which the buttons will register a press if you drop a paperclip on them.

I KNEW IT! I knew Apple was in the Android game. Look at them, doing what they do best. Taking everything in the world, and changing 2-3 letters, and making it their 'own'. Oh Apple, you so sneakz.
Inb4 Apple sues THL for making phones that look like other phones and do things other phones already do and then adds those things so their phone can do it too.
They patented copyright and patent-infingement, only Apple can duz that.
Technology Happy Life.
That's priceless. HTC should change their name to that.
I wonder if HTC or Samsung would go after them for these.
Lol, nice find.
The 'thL' logo even resembles that HTC logo from the bootloader.
No LTE
It's even funnier that you can buy them in bulk for a discounted price. LOL

They're not once you realize that:
A. The CPU is actually terrible
B. The screen is awful despite being 1080p.
C. The software is buggy (even their screenshots have errors in the notification tray!)
D. You get essentially ZERO support from them, and in broken English!
Are all the reviews there shills?
If they aren't then these may not be half bad if you're ok with probably noisy pictures, 3G, a 2000 mAH battery (that's terrible for a 5") and pretty much (at least, I would expect) no support.
As for shipping, I found this
how much total cost i spend to receive this phone to my country and do you receive payment with paypal from indonesia?
Dear verdy,
Hello.
1.It will cost $11.6 by Register Air Mail .And the total is $261.59
2.You can pay with Paypal, Western Union/Credit card.
Thanks for your requirement.

hey, for unlocked (decent) smartphone this is a freakin great deal. for someone who wasnt as big a phone geek as myself it would be an incredible device. i dont care how "bad" the proccessor is, dollars to value wise this is amazing. nice find.
