Lenovo's latest pro laptops pack 4K and Xeon processors

There are plenty of workstation laptops that claim to deliver on the promise of heavy-duty computing on the road, but they're not usually that much different on the inside than a garden variety portable. 

You can't say that about Lenovo's monster new ThinkPad P50 and P70 systems, though. The two not only offer things you'd expect in this class, such as color-accurate 4K displays and pro NVIDIA Quadro graphics, but Intel's first-ever mobile Xeon processors (specifically, the E3-1500M) -- you won't have to settle for an ordinary Core i-series chip here. If you need to crunch 3D models or video when you're out of the office, one of these rigs may be your best bet. That CPU upgrade also brings the kind of perks normally limited to desktops, including support for a whopping 64GB of memory and Thunderbolt 3 ports that can handle dual 4K displays.

LENOVO THINKPAD P50 & P70

Your system choice is dictated mostly by screen size. The P50 is the vaguely portable option, with a 15.6-inch display, a 5.6-pound body and a single Thunderbolt 3 port that complements the three storage bays and gobs of input. The P70, meanwhile, is Lenovo's first 17-inch mobile workstation since the oddball ThinkPad W700 from 2009, and has the specs you'd hope for in a beastly machine. If you're willing to lug around a 7.6-pound PC, you'll get four storage bays and a second Thunderbolt port.

You'll unfortunately have to wait until the fourth quarter of the year to snap up either of these ThinkPads. However, you at least won't have to pay a premium if you can go without luxuries like 4K. The P50 starts at $1,599 with a 1080p display, while springing for the P70 will cost $1,999 and up.

So this is basically / Asi que esto es basicamente... [SPANISH TEXT]

Si amigos, basicamente la idea del blog fue introducir a todos en el mundo de la tecnologia y hacer que esta no fuera tan "compleja" o "complicada" para todos. Ultimamente no hago reviews propios, ya que me tomo la molestia de elegir buenas noticias (que considero) para su placer informativo (bueno, las visitas me dicen que lo estoy haciendo bien) Pero, y si algun dia llegase a terminar todo? Regalar el dominio? Vender el blog? Nah, muchas veces me lo he preguntado pero... por algo senti el deseo de escribirles, desde mi misma mano y tecla, porque esto es lo que me apasiona: la tecnologia, la programacion, el llevar todo niveles superiores, exponenciar mi capacidad de analisis. De esto se trata todo, esto es basicamente el alma del blog: tecnologia. Actualmente me encuentro en otra ciudad, desde hace ya 1 mes. Las cosas han estado normales, pues dentro de lo que alguien podria definir de "normal". Gracias a Dios no me hace falta lo basico, desafortunad...

Child-friendly Galaxy Tab 3 Kids listed in Korean brochure

We're no experts in Korean back-to-school literature, but it looks as if one retailer has tipped Samsung's plans a little early. If the documents above are legitimate, then the company will launch a kiddie-focused Galaxy Tab in short order. The Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is said to be an 8.5-inch slate with a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, a 1,024 x 600 WSVGA display, 8GB storage, 1GB RAM and Jelly Bean. The company has also seen fit to include 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, a microSD card slot (no word on capacity) and a 4,000mAh battery. One thing that lends weight to the listing is that the device's model number is SM-T2105, which evleaks tersely described as a "Galaxy Tab for children" a month ago. There's more pictures over at the source, but not a single spec saying that this new device is resistant to jam-smeared fingers. Source: ENGADGET

The Ford Fiesta 2011 Was the Budget Hacker’s Dream (And No One Noticed)

The Ford Fiesta 2011 Was the Budget Hacker’s Dream (And No One Noticed) If you ever drove a Ford Fiesta 2011 SE and felt like it had hidden potential, you weren’t wrong — it was a software-defined vehicle before that was even a buzzword . While most saw it as a humble economy car, tinkerers and enthusiasts quickly discovered that the Fiesta was actually modular, reprogrammable, and surprisingly future-proof . With the right tools (and a bit of nerve), you could unlock features typically reserved for higher trims, all with minor hardware tweaks and some clever software work. Here’s a deep dive into the hidden arsenal of the 2011 Fiesta — and why it deserves a cult status among modders. The Secret Weapon: Shared Architecture Ford built the Fiesta using a highly modular electronic architecture . Many trims — from the base SE to the Titanium — shared the same PCM, wiring harnesses, and core modules . That meant you could: Add hardware from higher trims (like steering wheel...
