MSI GS70 gaming laptop is thinnest and lightest yet

Gaming laptops tend to tread on thin ice, as they are normally large and bulky in order to accommodate the parts within which require more space than a “normal” working-class laptop. And as physics would dictate, the larger an object is, generally speaking, it would be heavier. Not only that, the performance that you are able to coax out of a gaming laptop would still fall short of your home’s souped up gaming rig most of the time. Well, MSI intends to turn things upside down with the introduction of the MSI GS70 gaming laptop. For starters, the MSI GS70 gaming laptop is a definitely looker, coming in such a svelte body that you might mistake it for an Ultrabook of sorts. After all, we are talking about an ultra-thin and light brush aluminum chassis that measures less than an inch thin, tipping the scales at a respectable 5.7 lbs, clearly making this the thinnest and lightest 17” gaming laptop in the world. I guess MSI has succeeded in achieving the balance between portability and power on the go.
Just what kind of parts will you be able to find underneath the hood? For starters, the MSI GS70 would come with the latest 4th generation Intel Core i7 processor running proceedings from within, and it is accompanied by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M. You will also find a Killer DoubleShot NIC, a SteelSeries full color backlit keyboard with Anti-Ghosting keys, a 17” Full HD anti-reflective display at 1,920 × 1,080 resolution, a 2.1 speaker system with integrated sub-woofer featuring Sound Blaster Cinema, 16GB RAM, a quartet of USB 3.0 ports, a trio of audio jacks, and a 720p HD webcam.
Not only that, the MSI GS70 prides itself in being the first dual fan laptop with a special thermal solution design which will pull heat from the top side of the laptop, dissipating it instead at a 45 degree upward angle to deliver superior performance and a cool gaming experience even if you have cranked all the detail levels in the game to the maximum to work the MSI GS70. The asking price would start from $1,799.99, with two configurations to choose from.

Zipboard Roll-Up Travel Whiteboard

The idea of a flexible display is an enthralling one, but right now, the technology is not quite viable for mass production just yet, so you will just have to be happy with the phablets that are flooding the market at the moment. For those who tend to do a whole lot of traveling to deliver presentations, surely a whiteboard is an essential tool to have at the venue, especially with your collection of markers to write down your thoughts and ideas for the audience to mull over. Do not leave things to chance when you can carry the $29.99 Zipboard Roll-Up Travel Whiteboard around with you. Yes sir, this is one whiteboard that you can take with you anywhere you go, without having to be bogged down by bulk, and it is even small enough to be carried on a plane as hand carry luggage! The whiteboard will retract in the same manner of a scroll for supreme portability, and best of all is, the whiteboard surface would become rigid when it is extended. Each purchase will come with dry erase marker that are located in the base, while there is also an integrated eraser located on the back. Even better is, nothing will be erased even when it retracts, allowing you to “save” whatever you have jotted down for another presentation to a different set of audience at a later date.

Rain Boots with a Bluetooth Speaker

Continuing on with today’s theme of “things with a speaker in them” we present to you these Bloom FM Bluetooth Wellies. Or in less elegantly spoken American English: Speaker Rain Boots. Of course the American name doesn’t really matter since these limited edition (of 10 pairs!) boots are made in conjunction with UK based Bloom.fm. Although, you could ship a pair across the pond if you wanted. Look inside, there’s a pouch for your smartphone:

Each pair of boots has a speaker attached to one of the legs. It connects wirelessly to your device via Bluetooth and can put out 80db with a 5 hour playback time. You can really strut around to your own beat. I’m guessing these boots would draw some extra scrutiny if you tried to bring them past airport security.

Ball Returning Soccer Trainer

So, I am quite sure that many of us who follow the world of football (soccer for those living in the US) in the current summer transfer window would be twiddling their fingers anxiously, wondering whether Gareth Bale would actually make the jump to Real Madrid for what would possibly be a new world record transfer fee of 100 million Euros. Well, as you dream about your kid making it big on the world soccer stage so that you can be his manager and start living a jet-setting lifestyle, perhaps providing him with the right tools to practice consistently would be a good idea. Enter the $99.95 Ball Returning Soccer Trainer, which is a two-in-one soccer net that allows a player spend more time perfecting his or her game, instead of using the bulk of that time to retrieve balls. The Ball Returning Soccer Trainer comes with a sturdy steel frame that has been shaped like an X, where one side of it has been draped with a curved net. Whenever you kick a ball into this area, it will naturally follow an upward arc, before it rebounds with spin and height. This would mean one has to trap and control the ball before taking the next kick, inadvertently developing the fancy skills that are required of a professional. On the reverse side of the trainer, you will find that it comes covered with a taut, vertical net which is capable of absorbing most of the ball’s impact before returning it, so that you have an ideal surface to practice your shots on goal as well as one-touch heading and passing drills.

This Universal Docking Station brings some simplicity to your gadgets

We live in an age of mobile technology. Many of us can’t seem to get by without carrying at least one or two gadgets with us at all times. When you’ve got a phone in your pocket, a tablet and a laptop in your bag, and maybe a handheld console, things can start to look pretty hairy around your outlets at home. When this starts to happen, sometimes what you need is a low-tech solution to your cabling mess.

There are plenty of cable organizers on the market, but I really like the simple and pleasing design of this Universal Dock and Charging Station. While our gadgets are all metal, plastic and glass, this dock is nothing more than wood. Oak, to be specific. There are no special features to be found here. No wireless connectivity, no buttons to push. Just plain and simple wood.
The charging station provides room for eight different charging cables, and uses curved slots to help keep the cables in place, when not being used. If you need something simple and natural to keep track of all of your cords at home, then this $24 accessory might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Olloclip Telephoto Lens – Makes you an iPhone Photographer!

It’s no secret how much I love to take pictures. I just got back from a weeklong vacation, and I’m sure that I mad everyone crazy with all the photography. Funny thing is, while I had my entire arsenal of picture taking equipment with me, most of the fun shots were captured with my iPhone. It’s true, I left the Nikon behind on many occasions, not wanting to lug the sucker around. That being said, some of the shots I got could have been better… much better.
Check out the brand new Olloclip Telephoto + CPL, a nifty, quick connecting lens for your iPhone or iPod Touch that gets you twice as close to the action, and fits in the palm of your hand! Perhaps conditions require you to reduce or remove glare, or maybe you’d like the blue of the ocean to really stand out. You simply need to switch sides, and the circular polarizing lens will have what you need.
Forget about missing the shot, or wishing you could have just a tiny bit more creative control, the new Olloclip Telephoto actually allows you to set depth of field, and tinker with subject focus and, this highly portable accessory can also be used with the separately purchased 3 in 1 lens that includes fisheye, macro, and wide angle options.

You can pre-order the new Olloclip Telephoto at olloclip.com or get 3 in 1 lenses for under 70 bucks at amazon.com. Say Cheese!

Nexus 7 tablet announced

There are very few good, original movies these days. Most of what hits the silver screens are prequels as well as sequels of a particular franchise, and the audience continue to lap it up regardless. Well, I guess the same can be said of hardware, especially in the consumer electronics realm – narrowing it down to portable devices like smartphones and tablets. From the Samsung Galaxy S, we have seen it “grow” to end up at the Galaxy S4 at the moment, while the iPhone has ended up as the iPhone 5 till today, with whispers of an iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 on the way. The Asus-manufactured Nexus 7 tablet is no different, and it is all set to embrace a next generation model, simply known as the new Nexus 7. Just what kind of hardware can you expect this sequel to carry? For starters, this 7” tablet is touted to boast of the highest resolution for a 7” tablet in the world – at 1,920 x 1,200 pixels on its 10-point touch IPS panel at 323ppi pixel density. Apart from that, a quad-core 1.5GHz S4 Pro Qualcomm processor would keep it chugging along nicely without any slowdown, where it is accompanied by an Adreno 320 GPU, 2GB RAM, and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean right out of the box. Should you wish to hook up the new Nexus 7, it can do so via NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11n connectivity, with the option of wireless charging capability thrown into the mix. In front lies a 1.2-megapixel shooter, while at the back there is a 5-megapixel camera. Going on sale via Google’s online store in the US, expect the new Nexus 7 to hit other markets in due time. For those who were hoping that the next generation Nexus 7 tablets will arrive with the same price tags as before, you will be slightly disappointed. After all, better hardware does command a higher price point, does it not? Good thing Google and Asus have managed to keep overall costs relatively low still, where the 16GB model will retail for $229, which is $30 more expensive than its predecessor, but still a whole lot more affordable than the cheapest iPad mini. As for those who want to pick up the 32GB Nexus 7, you will have to fork out $269 for it.

JBL WR2.4 headphones introduced

When it comes to the world of headphones, making a particular purchase decision is not all that easy. After all, there are so many models to choose from, and you do not want to end up forking out money for something that does not offer as much bang for your buck as you wished. Well, one name that I am quite sure is able to serve up decent value for money would be JBL, and one of their latest headphones would be the JBL WR2.4. Of course, right off the bat, most folks would notice that the JBL WR2.4 headphones is missing the cord, which is an all too common feature in majority of the headphones out there, leading us to only one conclusion – this is a wireless device which will hopefully live up to the family name.
In a nutshell, without a cable to tether the JBL WR2.4 headphones to a compatible music playback device, you will be able to enjoy untethered freedom to move around, as long as the headphones remain within range, that is. We are looking at approximately 100 feet (30 meters) of reception range, while the nuilt-in rechargeable batteries will let you extend freedom from the AC outlet, too, delivering up to eight hours of continuous playtime.
Apart from wireless convenience, the JBL WR2.4 headphones have also been specially designed to be comfortable to wear, too. It is lightweight in nature, and comes with generously sized padded cups as well as a fully adjustable headband. This would allow you to wear the wireless headphones without suffering from fatigue or feeling hot between the head despite wearing it for an extended period of time. The WR2.4 headphones comes with semi-closed back acoustics to deliver naturally enhanced sound quality via their 18 Hz to 20 kHz sound range, while it has an uncompromising 2.4 GHz digital bandwidth for reception that remains untainted by transmission noise, sporting 32-ohm impedance to deliver a wide range of listening volumes. Running on a pair of AAA batteries, the JBL WR2.4 headphones can be yours for $99.95 per pair.

iPad Pocket Projector

I clearly remember when I first caught sight of a pocket projector – it certainly bowled me over with the possibilities, but after getting one, I rarely used it. Come to think of it, it has seen action just a handful of times, so much so that I can even count it on a single hand. I suppose it does not cater to my needs, but enough market research and case studies must have been done in order for pico projectors to be approved and manufactured. Those who tend to make business presentations on the go might find this $249.95 iPad Pocket Projector a boon, especially when you need to throw that money making pitch among a group of potential investors, instead of meeting them one by one. The iPad Pocket Projector says it all, where it can hook up directly to an iPad for it to instantly display enlarged views of photos, movies, and presentations. It will arrive in a physical form factor that is smaller than a smartphone, tipping the scales at under 5 ounces, where it will plug into your iPad’s 30-pin charging port, making your iPad look like some sort of Borg entity. In a nutshell, you can transform a small room into a mini movie theater of sorts sans complicated setup or cables. The iPad Pocket Projector will come with a 35-lumen LED that delivers 6″ to 60″ diagonal images from 8″ to 78″ away with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, the projector’s resolution maxes out at 640 x 480 pixels, but thankfully there is a manual focus wheel that helps you fine-tune image clarity, alongside controls for the audio level. The LED itself has been rated for 20,000 hours, and it will play nice with all iPads, the iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS, and third and fourth generation iPod touch.

New Trent Airbender Mini now available

So, you have decided to pick up a spanking new iPad mini for yourself, and want to take all the necessary precautions to ensure that it remains as scratch free as possible, at least until the next generation iPad mini arrives, so that you can sell off your current iPad mini at the highest price possible? That is definitely a thought, but I prefer to look at gadgets this way – it is always best to maximize its purpose, and if it involves using said device without any protective case or screen protector so that it will not sully the efforts made by the device’s designers, then so be it, never mind the fact that there is the very real possibility of me introducing the concept of scratches to my shiny new device. Well, the New Trent Airbender Mini sort of brings the best of both worlds, and it also ups the productivity ante for iPad mini owners, too. Basically, the New Trent Airbender Mini has been touted to be the ideal portable case solution for those who want maximum protection for their iPad mini, regardless of where they are, whether they are at home, in the office or in the great outdoors. The outdoors? Yup, that is correct, this bad boy will come with a shock and splash resistant case, thanks to a rubberized exterior which will ensure that all openings are properly plugged, all the while offering full-body protection to the iPad mini without hindering usability.
Not only that, it comes with the convenience of a removable iPad mini case that has an integrated screen protector, ensuring that scratches and smudges will never get to your beloved iPad mini, all without sacrificing on touch screen sensitivity. Sporting an ultra low-profile, built-in keyboard, it will hook up to the iPad mini via Bluetooth, ensuring you can type out all those documents in a jiffy, with great ease and comfort. If you are interested, the New Trent Airbender Mini can be yours for $39.95 a pop.

Moshi debuts second generation Codex case

When it comes to your brand new notebook, just how far would you go to ensure that it looks and remains in pristine condition as far and as much as possible? Some of us would do things like purchase a protective sleeve for it, while others would go the extra mile and have one of those keyboard protectors, to make sure that the keyboard of the notebook itself will not be left “naked” to the threats of dust settling in between the keys, where that will definitely reduce the amount of performance you can enjoy from your notebook in due time. Well, here would be a solution for paranoid androids out there – a second generation of Moshi’s protective Codex case for the MacBook Air as well as Retina MacBook Pro. This new version will boast of an aerodynamic profile alongside stylish new design details, and the Codex MacBook case plays nice with all models of Apple’s MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro laptops. Codex can be described as a modern, lightweight carrying case that has been specially tailored for the MacBook family, delivering not only protection but insulation as well from the daily wear and tear, while making sure you look good even as you work.
On the outside, the Moshi Codex will be made out of a kind of high-resilience polymeric hybrid material which delivers a sleek, brushed metal-like appearance. These next generation Codex cases have also been updated where they will include an attractive binding to deliver additional durability and style. Not only that, the Codex for MacBook Air also comes with a newly curved, aerodynamic aesthetic, making sure that the main reason you purchased your MacBook Air – for it to remain slim, will also be recognizable after slipping the Codex on. The Codex will be available in both Steel Black and Brushed Titanium for the 13” MacBook Air and 13” Retina MacBook Pro for $70 a pop, while it comes in Steel Black for the 11” MacBook Air at $65, with the 15” Retina MacBook Pro version going for $75.

Chipster iPhone Case takes minimalist cases a bit too far

When you go out and buy a new smartphone, you usually end up dropping a couple hundred bucks, if not more. So it makes sense to spend a little extra money to protect your investment. I’m not talking about those extended warranties that don’t help when you drop your phone and crack the screen. No, I’m talking about cases that save your phone when you drop it. It’s a smart idea, since buying a new phone the second time around tends to cost even more, since you won’t be paying that subsidized cost. With that in mind, I have an interesting case to show you today.

The Chipster iPhone Case has to be one of the most confusing products I’ve seen in a while. Generally, the reason a person buys a smartphone case is to protect their phone. So at the very least, it has a nice rubber or plastic coating that can take drops, hits, and scrapes like a champ. So why on earth would you make a case out of chipboard? If you’re not familiar with chipboard, it’s basically just a thick paper stock made from recycled materials. What’s more, it only covers the top and bottom of the iphone on the front. Even the sides are completely exposed.
The only feature that this case has is that it can store up to three credit cards. While that is a nice feature to have, plenty of other cases offer it. And while the $25 price isn’t exactly expensive, you can find others in that price range that are actually going to offer some protection for your phone.

DynamoGo Powered R/C Cars

If there is one particular bane of modern day toys and gadgets, it would be this – most of them would require some sort of power source to run. The kids who grew up in the 1980s (and earlier) had their fair share of toys that did not require batteries, such as dolls and action figures, although there were also other toys like little robots of Nintendo’s Game & Watch which required batteries. Remote controlled cars and robots have always run on batteries, but this time around, the trend is bucked with the introduction of the $19.99 DynamoGo Powered R/C Cars. As its name suggests, the DynamoGo Powered R/C Cars would not need any kind of batteries to keep it going. All you need to do is crank it up with your hand, and you are good to go. Each purchase will come in either red or green shades, so hopefully you end up with one that matches the color in your home. Of course, having to crank these puppies up each time before you play also means the amount of play time is rather limited, and you might have to do far more cranking than actual playing in the long run, but think of the amount of moolah you would have saved in the long run from not purchasing batteries!

Vinylize turns old records into glasses

The last few years have given rise to a new breed of people. They can be found at vegan coffee shops, using the Instagram app to take “artistic” photos of their coffee next to a book that looks interesting, so that they can tweet it to their friends. We call these people “hipsters.” When not in a coffee shop, you can also find them in record stores, letting you know why you shouldn’t listen to music unless it’s on vinyl, because digital music is an affront to your ears. Hipsters do tend to be fashionable, which is why I’m not surprised to see a company making glasses that are marketed to this specific demographic.

Now don’t get me wrong, I understand the appeal of listening to vinyl. I just think that some people take it to an extreme. A company called Vinylize is more than happy to take money from these people however. By bonding a vinyl record with cellulose acetate, they are able to cut out the frames for a pair of glasses that will let everyone know just how much you love your records.
The glasses come in a variety of styles, including the classic hipster frames that you see above. You’re going to be paying a hefty premium on these, however. For a pair of sunglasses, you’re looking at around $440. If you want prescription lenses, you’ll need to send them an email for a quote. I actually think the concept of recycling old records is a great one, however, the price is going to be hard for all but the most fanatical of vinyl lovers.

Selfloops announces Android ANT+ accessory

Selfloops as well as ANT+ have come together to roll out what they call the Android ANT+ accessory, which so happens to be a smartphone charger which would allow Android connectivity to the ANT+ ecosystem that comprises of sport, fitness and health products. This particular Android ANT+ Accessory would end up as the gateway for millions of current Android devices (those that run on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread and higher) to display a wide array of data including heart rate, foot speed and distance, bike speed, power and cadence from any certified ANT+ sensor, all the while linking Android applications to the millions of available ANT+ products that are manufactured by such notable brands including Garmin, Timex, and Geonaute.
Selfloops co-founder, Christian Del Rosso, said, “We’re extremely excited to now offer this innovative accessory to consumers. This is the only smartphone accessory that will enable ANT+ in Android devices with versions 2.3.4 and higher, which covers over 85% of the Android installed base. Existing solutions only cover Android 3.1 and upward (43% of the installed base) so we are thrilled to offer a device that brings ANT+ to the mass population of Android users.”
The Android ANT+ Accessory would hook up to an Android device using USB, where it also doubles up as a charger, which would extend the battery life of a connected smartphone. The accessory itself will adhere to the Android USB Accessory Protocol, hence it would also play nice with devices which so happen to miss out on USB OTG (on-the-go) capabilities. Applications that were written using the official Android ANT APIs from ANT Wireless will be 100% compatible with the Selfloops Android ANT+ Accessory. For those who are interested, Selfloops happens to have developed a couple of ANT+ Android apps (Selfloops and Selfloops Group Fitness) which can be downloaded the Google Play Store. The Selfloops Android ANT+ Accessory will burn a $115 hole in your pocket, and if you place a pre-order now, expect it to ship later this October.

VTech InnoTab 3 tablet for kids

Kids learn from their parents by example, so the old “do as I say, and not as I do” saying does not apply here. In fact, living out such a principle could prove to be very damaging to your little ones as they grow up in the years ahead. Kids who see their parents carry a tablet around too, want to have a tablet that they can call their own. The thing is, kids are not the most tech savvy bunch of people out there, and neither can you guarantee that they are the most careful tablet users, too. If only there was a company that rolled out tablets which target just kids alone, and VTech steps in to fill this void in the form of the InnoTab 3 tablet for kids.
Needless to say, with a name like the InnoTab 3, you can be sure that there were prequels before this, and it will continue from where the popular InnoTab 2S left off. In fact, the InnoTab 2S can be said to be one of the first children’s learning tablets equipped with with Wi-Fi connectivity, and the InnoTab 3 will be able to pack quite a powerful punch in a compact size and a price that parents would not cringe at, making it the ideal first learning tablet for your little ones. InnoTab 3 will be able to introduce children to a world of age-appropriate educational content thanks to VTech’s comprehensive app store called the Learning Lodge. How apt! With the Learning Lodge, one can explore hundreds of games, e-books, videos, and music among others.
Hardware specifications of the VTech InnoTab 3 include a 4.3” touchscreen display, a new directional pad and tilt sensor, a 2-megapixel, 180° rotating camera with over 55 photo features and special effects, a quartet of different media players (e-book reader, MP3 music player, photo viewer and video player), 2GB of internal memory that can be further expanded via a microSD memory card slot, an e-book, “What’s that Noise?” right out of the box, as well as free downloadable desktop themes to boot. The InnoTab 3 will retail for $69.99 a pop when it is available.

Easy To Use Powered Nail Clipper

It seems that we are all into automatic stuff these days – anything that ain’t automatic just is not going to cut the mustard. After all, they did say that if you want to prevent anyone from stealing your car, just buy stick – as car thieves these days are unable to drive stick, so they will most probably settle for an automatic car.

Fast forward to the 21st century, and the power of electricity would help you shorten those claws in the form of the $39.95 Easy To Use Powered Nail Clipper.

It has a 0.5″-long x 1/16″-wide alloy bit which will spin at 500-rpm, allowing it to use its precisely beveled blades to safely and gently trim nails each time you gently nudge your fingernail against the bit, and all of this is done without having to squeeze the fingers one bit, neither do you need to bend your wrist or risk cutting the cuticle. Easy as pie, no?

Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom announced

Samsung’s latest puppy to hit the market might have arrived at the wrong time, as it could very well have done a whole lot better if it were to be a trailblazer a couple of years ago. Having said that, let us not judge a particular device before using it, so here we are with the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, where it will once again take advantage of the insanely popular Galaxy name of device. Armed with a moniker like the Galaxy S4 Zoom, you can be dead sure that this particular smartphone is serious about the photography department, and we as end users are certainly more than happy to see features such as 10x optical zoom thrown into your everyday smartphone. Is it a phone? Is it a camera? I will leave its primary function to the owner of the Galaxy S4 Zoom, since he or she would know best what they are going to do with it. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom can be said to be the realization of Samsung’s dream to conjure a single device which is capable of playing the role of an industry leading smartphone in addition to being a high-end compact camera. I guess they have more or less achieved their ambition at the moment in the form of the Galaxy S4 Zoom, where it boasts of the aforementioned 10x optical zoom, and will be accompanied by a 16-megapixel CMOS Sensor, OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and Xenon flash, all running on the most recent Samsung Galaxy S4 technology in order to set new standards for perfect mobile photography for the others to follow.
There is the presence of an all new Zoom Ring which is said to make photography with the Galaxy S4 Zoom all the more natural, letting you shoot more often instead of spending time to go through the various control dials as found on a regular digital camera. Android 4.2 Jelly Bean would be the operating system of choice, although it remains to be seen just when the Galaxy S4 Zoom would be released, and for how much?
