HP Envy 17 3D Review

HP Envy 17 3D is a gorgeous high-definition 3D display. Blu-ray. Beats Audio provides good bass. Bundled 3D glasses fit over prescription glasses.

HP's second-generation Envy laptops combines sleek design, solid construction, and high-end components, all for a reasonable price. The latest version of the Envy 17, one might call it generation 2.5, adds 3D capabilities.

This gigantic HP ENVY 17 3D is a fabulously large at 16.38″(W) x 10.83″ (D) x1.25″ (min height) / 1.52″ (max height) and weighs in at 7.37 lbs.

Even ignoring its 3D credentials, the Envy 17 3D is an impressive beast in almost every regard. Starting off with its design, the aluminium-finished lid features a 'Carbon Relic' pattern imprint that's far more durable than the usual shiny plastic and won't pick up even a hint of fingerprints.

Connectivity includes Wifi b/g/n, external 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN RJ-45 connect, 3 USB (3rd shared with eSATA port), HDMI, RJ-45, Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner, two headphone jacks, 120 W power adapter, mini-Display Port, 1 extra SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port, internal slot-load optical drive, HP TrueVision HD webcam with built-in mic, 5-in-1 integrated Digital Media Reader. A high definition webcam and attractive, slot-loading Blu-ray drive round out the Envy 17 3D's high-end appeal.

Western Digital 6TB Drive selling for $549.99, the new My Book Studio Edition II 6TB drive is being geared more toward the Mac than Windows. Western Digital is targeting it specifically to creative pros and businesses that need to store a large number of high-definition videos, photos, and other hefty files.

● Massive 6 TB capacity;
● Extra-fast performance with four interfaces (FireWire 800/400, eSATA, USB 2.0);
Cool, eco-friendly operation with WD’s drives with WD GreenPower Technology that consume approximately one-third less power than standard dual-drive external storage systems and efficient convection cooling architecture and power-saving mode and designed without a fan to run quietly;

A capacity gauge tells owners how much free space is left. And if one of the disks ever needs to be replaced, WD promises that the system is easy to open and get inside.

Motorola Xoom WiFi Android Tablet

Motorola Xoom WiFi Android Tablet is competing against Apple's iPad 2. The device sports a 10.1-inch widescreen touch display and uses Google’s Android 3.0 “Honeycomb” operating system. Powered by a 1-GHz dual-core processor, the Xoom offers dual cameras and user-interface perks on a 1280-by-800 HD display.

Motorola Xoom WiFi Android Tablet, a 1GHz dual-core processor and 1 GB of RAM, MOTOROLA XOOM delivers exceptionally fast web-browsing performance. The latest Google Mobile services include Google Maps 5.0™ with 3D interaction and access to more than 3 million Google eBooks and apps from Android Market™. MOTOROLA XOOM also supports a Beta of Adobe® Flash® Player 10.2 downloadable from Android Market, enabling the delivery of rich Flash based web content including videos, casual games and rich Internet applications.

The current model also supports 3G data communications over Verizon Wireless’ network. However, priced at an unsubsidized $799 ($599 with two-year commitment to Verizon), the Xoom’s price competitiveness against the iPad 2 has been lackluster at best.
