Hands-On With Toshiba AT270 Tablet

Toshiba isn't at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but we still caught a glimpse of one of the company's upcoming tablets. I managed to get a hands-on with Toshiba's AT270 (at least, that's what the tablet is identified as by the Android Operating System) at the Nvidia booth.

The AT270 sports Nvidia's Tegra 3 chip, which is why Nvidia was showing off the tablet at its booth. Toshiba showed several prototype tablets at CES 2012, this 7.7-inch model among them.

The 7.7-inch AT270 I played with at MWC feels more real than the prototype I handled at CES. The buttons are well-crafted, and the back is made of pleasingly-textured molded plastic. Along the bottom vertical edge is the headphone jack, a microUSB port, and a microSD card slot. The camera is at the upper right corner. While I don't have the actual specs on this tablet, I can say it's slim and lightweight and--most importantly--feels comfortable for extended one-handed use.

Toshiba's display appears to have beautiful colors--not surprising, since it's using a 1280 by 800 pixel super-AMOLED screen. Text looks sharp and crisp, as it does on Toshiba's current 7-inch Thrive. The AT270 is expected to replace the current Thrive, at an as-yet undetermined date.

Nvidia also notes that Toshiba's upcoming 13-inch tablet will also be powered by the Tegra 3. Toshiba says that model, shown in rough prototype form at CES, will have a wide viewing angle display and weigh around 2 pounds. The back of the model shown at CES was made of aluminum and the display resolution was not final. The reference design shown at CES ran Android, but Toshiba implied the tablet could, in the future, run Windows 8.

Toshiba is just one of the many tablet makers looking to use different mobile CPUs for different tablets. The company's Excite X10, which was introduced at CES, has a Texas Instruments OMAP processor.

"It's going to vary by product," says product manager Phil Osako.

Apple's March 7 iPad 3 Event: 5 Things to Watch For

Apple has made its March 7 iPad event official with an invite to the press, promising "something you really have to see. And touch."

Of course, Apple's not providing any more details, but that hasn't stopped the tech press from coming up with plenty of rumor and speculation. Even the name "iPad 3" is just shorthand for "next tablet Apple will announce." Here's what I'd look for at next week's event:

iPad 3 Rumored Tech Specs

The most likely feature for Apple's iPad 3 is a "Retina" display, or at least a screen with double the resolution of the iPad 2, at 2048 pixels by 1536 pixels. The upgraded display, combined with 4G LTE connectivity, may actually result in a slightly thicker frame than that of the iPad 2. For a processor, Apple watchers expect to see either a quad-core A6 processor inside the iPad 3, or a dual-core A5X.

The Vanishing Home Button?

The invite Apple sent for its event, which shows a small section of an iPad, has some tech bloggers in a tizzy because there's no home button on the iPad's bezel. But supposed pictures of the iPad 3'sfront glass panel shows the round home button intact, and it's possible that the image Apple sent is showing the side or the top of the device. I think the home button is sticking around.

Siri Says Hello?

Apple SiriA report last week on Apple.pro, a Chinese blog, suggested that Apple will bring the Siri virtual assistant to the iPad 3. This hasn't been a recurring rumor, but it seems plausible.

iPad 2 Price Drop

Best Buy has already dropped the price of the iPad 2 by $50 for all models, but last year, Apple slashed the original iPad's price by $100 after releasing the iPad 2. Once the new iPad launches, I'm guessing last year's model will get its own $100 price drop at all retailers--while supplies last.

Other Stuff: New Apple TV, iPods?

Earlier this month, the Apple TV set-top box sold out at Best Buy's Website, and it was no longer listed at Walmart. That led to speculation that a new Apple TV will replace the old set-top box, possibly with 1080p video support. The Apple TV box is not to be confused with the rumored Apple television, which probably isn't anywhere close to being finished.

I also noticed that Best Buy is having a sale on iPods. While there's not much buzz about an iPod refresh in the tech world, Apple hasn't updated its line of media players since September 2010. They're overdue for a facelift.

iPad 3 Display: A Possible Peek

Images from iFixit's analysis.

The screen in Apple’s next-generation iPadis said to be a standout feature of the tablet, and an analysis of what is purportedly one of those new screens supports the growing expectations.

Repairs website iFixit analyzed a screen obtained obtained earlier this month byMacRumors, which says the screen is that of an iPad 3, and confirms the unit has double the resolution of the iPad 2 screen.

An iPad 3 announcement is expected on March 7, and several leaks of the display indicate it will have double the resolution of the iPad 2. iFixit's analysis, available as a video, is of note because the people behind the online teardowns of most new gadgets are verifying the quality of the display. MacRumors isn't saying how it obtained the screen, but claims it is from an iPad 3.

Put under the microscope, the alleged iPad 3 display has double the linear resolution of the iPad 2 -- from 1024 by 768 pixels to 2048 by 1536 pixels -- which is higher than full 1080p HD video resolution at 1920 by 1080 pixels, and should display much sharper images. The improvement would be similar to the difference between a 3.5-inch iPhone 3GS display and the double-resolution iPhone 4/4S screen.

If this is indeed the type of display used in the new iPad, it will be interesting to see whether Apple will use the same Retina moniker it used for the double-resolution iPhone display. As my colleague Matt Peckham points out, in Apple’s book, Retina refers to displays with pixel density of more than 300 ppi (pixels per inch). At 9.7 inches and double the current resolution, an iPad 3 display would have just over 260ppi.

iFixit couldn't power up the screen with iPad 2 hardware, as the current iPad display uses a different connector than the one MacRumors obtained. This suggests that the new display will have different power requirements, and will hamper modders from getting a higher-resolution display with thieir older tablets. But take a look for yourself.

Initial Impressions: Dell XPS 13

We have a final production unit of Dell's Ultrabook, and it's one of the nicest PCs the company has produced in years.

Back at CES, we gave you the details on Dell’s first Ultrabook, theXPS 13. At the time, I said "it may be the best laptop Dell’s made in years," based on a very limited demonstration. Now I have the final production model in my hands, and I’m pleased to say my impression stands. The XPS 13 is by no means the perfect laptop, but my initial hands-on impression is extremely positive. A full review with benchmarks and a lot more hands-on use will be forthcoming, but I wanted to let you know what I think before the system goes on sale next week.

Dell makes a big deal about the size of the XPS 13, and they’re right to: it’s sort of impressive. While slightly thicker than the 13-inch Macbook Air, and just a touch heavier (we measured 2 pounds 15.8 ounces, where the Air is 2 pounds 15.1 ounces), the XPS 13 actually has a significantly smaller footprint than Apple's hot laptop. While the screen is the same size as the 13-inch Air, the XPS 13 is actually less wide and less deep. An Ultrabook that’s acctually smaller than the comparable Macbook Air is no mean feat, and it’s definitely not the kind of thing you expect from Dell.

Speaking of the display, its resolution is 1366x768, which is a bit lower than the 1440x900 resolution of the Air. It’s also a 16:9 aspect ratio instead of 16:10 on the Apple product, so it’s slightly wider and slightly shorter. It gets quite bright, though the glossy screen makes it hard to use in bright, direct sunshine. Off-axis viewing is reasonable, though I've seen better, and I'm spoiled by the IPS displays on premium tablets.

The system I’m testing is the entry-level $999 model, which features a 1.6GHz Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. The entry-level Macbook Air costs $300 more and gives you the same RAM and SSD, but a very slightly faster (1.7GHz) Core i5 CPU. Dell also offers configurations with a 256GB SSD for $1299, and with a 256GB SSD and Core i7 2637M for $1499.

The performance of this entry-level model feels quite snappy. The system boots up quickly, and wakes up from sleep in just a couple seconds when you open the lid. Applications launch quickly. It’s the performance you expect from a good Core i5 CPU and fast SSD.

The keyboard is actually quite nice. The key travel is sort of short, but that’s a problem with all these super-thin laptops. If found it quite easy to type quickly and accurately, which is a step up from a lot of Ultrabook keyboards. Oh, and it’s backlit, too. The trackpad is a new “clickpad” that clicks anywhere over the entire surface. Even near the top of the trackpad you get a satisfying “click” to let you know you’ve...well...clicked. The pad on my review unit is a little finicky, but I'm promised a driver update any minute now that should improve sensitivity and scrolling.

The software loadout bears mentioning. The XPS 13 test system I’m using has a very clean build, with no Dell Stage software. JThere's only the Dell support stuff, a Webcam utility, Skype, McAffee, and Windows Live Essentials. Boot up for the first time and you won't see much on the desktop or taskbar. I’ve been informed that the very first batch of XPS 13 systems will have the usual Dell software loadout with Stage, but that the second run of systems (shipping around April) will feature the very lean software configuration I’m using. I’m thrilled to see Dell trim the fat; these days, people know how to get the software they like on their PCs.

After spending an afternoon with the XPS 13, my opinion is just as favorable as it was when I first laid eyes on it at the start of the year. It’s a system that is so un-Dell-like (and I mean that in the best possible way) that I’ve actually carried it around the office to show it to coworkers, most of whom are similarly impressed. I reserve final judgement until I get some hard performance numbers and spend a lot more time with it, but for now, it feels like the only thing stopping me from running out and buying one myself is the knowledge that Intel’s Ivy Bridge chips will be shipping in a few months, and I really want a laptop with one of those.
