still remains one of the most important technology fairs in the world, although the lure of Ces Las Vegas and the Mobile World Congress (not to mention the IFA in Berlin) are the highlight events for the industry of computers, tablets, mobile phones and consumer electronics. Computex Taipei 2014 edition was officially opened yesterday and as usual the main ads have already gone into the scene. The vendor, by the hosts Asus and Acer (the latter with the first fruits of his first wearable gadget) to arrive at HP, have put a strong emphasis on the new face of computing, riding a well-established trend, one that has the appearance of the tablet and hybrid products and convertible “2 in 1″. A little ‘seats and a little’ notebook, with the most diverse digressions in terms of form factor.

so many novelties in the window, even at the level of accessories, such as the concept of universal wireless charger (compatible with the specifications of the Wireless Power Consortium’s Qi v1.2) sported by New Zealand PowerbyProxi. A crock capable of delivering 7.5 to 15 watts of power to power wireless and more phablet smartphone (or wearable devices) contemporanemaente or a single tablet. Designed to take service in your home or even in public places, such as restaurants.

Intel draws the smart future PC: thinner and lighter than the iPad Air Surface
As always fierce at Computex, Intel this year he tried to play for the wildcard to amaze professionals and amateurs. The novelty perhaps more importantly which has lifted the veil of the giant Santa Clara is in this sense a working prototype of a tablet PC with the habit of being thinner than the iPad Air. Based on the new generation of chips Broadwell Y “Core M” to 14 nanometers, and with on-board Windows 8 operating system, this device, called “Llama Mountain,” was presented without cooling fans and record the thickness of only 7 2 mm. Despite the 12.5-inch screen also the weight is 670 grams. A second concept, with 10-inch display, even reduced to 6.7 mm (with a weight of 500 grams). We are facing a new horizon for the ultra-light mobile PCs?

Perhaps, if we talk about a concept that will never see the market and whose mission is to “inspire” in terms of design manufacturers Intel’s OEM partners. The tablet in question, however, is its ability to blend well with the idea of ​​post-PC computing era. What? For example, the high speed loading and goodwill of basic programs and apps. In other words, an object faster than any computer ever given birth so far with Intel processors, connected with the outside world via USB 3.1 port (which could be used to charge the device) and connectors and obviously used in conjunction with a separate keyboard, equally thin.
