HP Envy 17 3D Review

Hp has staked its say they making a number of the best media center desktop replacement laptops on the market today with the Envy type of premium laptops. While there are additional 3D-enabled laptops available, like the Lenovo IdeaPad Y560D ($1,399, 3 Stars) and ASUS G51J-1B 3D ($1,700, 3.5 Stars), the Hp Envy 17-1190N (3D) ($1,599.99 direct) puts a 3D display in the superior quality package.

Design
The 3D version is physically just like the non-3D Envy 17, and our general impressions of the design and construction remain the same (and some of those observations are obtained from that earlier review). By using a slim, but heavy, aluminum and magnesium chassis, the Envy 17 is less of a desk-hogging system than many of its 17-inch counterparts, leading us in order to it with the (still slimmer) 17-inch MacBook Pro. The similarities even extend to the backlit keyboard and oversize clickpad. The same subtle pattern of imprinted squares covers the wrist rest and back of the lid as we’ve seen on other Envy laptops, and the construction feels rock-solid and durable. A lot better, this is certainly one among the few truly fingerprint-proof laptops we’ve find.

NEXI - Robot with facial expressions

A latest invention by MIT Media Lab is a new robot that is able to show various facial expressions such as 'slanting its eyebrows in anger', or 'raise them in surprise', and show a wide assortment of facial expressions while communicating with people.

This latest achievement in the field of Robotics is named NEXI as it is framed as the next generation robots which is aimed for a range of applications for personal robots and human-robot teamwork.

DESIGNING

The head and face of NEXI were designed by Xitome Design which is a innovative designing and development company that specializes in robotic design and development. The expressive robotics started with a neck mechanism sporting 4 degrees of freedom (DoF) at the base, plus pan-tilt-yaw of the head itself. The mechanism has been constructed to time the movements so they mimic human speed. The face of NEXI has been specially designed to use gaze, eyebrows, eyelids and an articulate mandible which helps in expressing a wide range of different emotions.

The chassis of NEXI is also advanced. It has been developed by the Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics UMASS (University of Massachusetts), Amherst. This chassis is based on the uBot5 mobile manipulator. The mobile base can balance dynamically on two wheels. The arms of NEXI can pick up a weight of up to 10 pounds and the plastic covering of the chassis can detect any kind of human touch.

CYNTHIA BREAZEAL: HEAD OF THE PROJECT

This project was headed by Media Lab's Cynthia Breazeal, a well known robotics expert famous for earlier expressive robots such as Kismet. She is an Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT. She named her new product as an MDS (mobile, dextrous, social) robot.

FEATURES OF NEXI

Except a wide range of facial expressions, Nexi has many other features. It has self-balancing wheels like the Segway transporter, to ultimately ride on. Currently it uses an additional set of supportive wheels to operate as a statically stable platform in its early stage of development. It has hands which can be used to manipulate objects, eyes (video cameras), ears (an array of microphones), and a 3-D infrared camera and laser rangefinder which support real-time tracking of objects, people and voices as well as indoor navigation....

Dell announcing their MacBook Air competitor

Currently the slimmest powerful laptops in the market are MacBook Air and other one is Samsung series 9 which is little bit more power than MacBook Air. And now Dell is ready to announce their version of ultra slim powerful laptop which would compete against MacBook Air.

A report from Wall Street journal mentions that Dell is almost ready to announce their version of slim laptop.This would be not the first time when Dell would launch a slim device to attract the users as in 2009 they had launch sleek Adamo and that laptop was little bit low powered and it was quite expensive as it was of $2000.And even then Dell tried with other laptop like these but they never got that much popular.
