Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny In One 23 Monitor

Lenovo ThinkCentre M83 Tiny In One 23 & Part two video. 

Normal size, is theThinkCentre Tiny in One 23 monitor. This 23” LED LCD 1920X1080P monitor is specially designed so that theM83 Tiny fits inside. Mounting it was a breeze and adjusting it for work is easy with tilt, swivel and lift. Flip open a door on the back, pull out a connecting bar, and drop in the entire M83 Tiny. When you slide the connecting bar back into place it automatically connects the outputs of the M83 Tiny to the monitor. Now you have two USB 2.0 ports on the side, two 3.0 ports on the front, a headphone/mic combo jack, even a display port. There was no speaker in my review unit, but one is available in options. But we just plugged a small speaker into the audio jack when we needed sound. When connected, these two independent components come together to offer a complete workstation. This duo is aimed at businesses, providing them with the ability to upgrade system components and even systems quickly without having to replace the entire unit. As of 2/11/15 MSRP of the monitor was $279.00, but I've seen it for $249.99.

The PORTABLE INDUCTION 2X from FagorAmerica. Induction cooking is the most efficient way to cook. The 2X utilizes 90% of the energy produced compared to 50% used by other cooking methods.

A new kind of portable Bluetooth Speaker. Honest!

New from BenQ, famous in multimedia technology, is their treVolo electrostatic Bluetooth speaker. It’s the world's first portable Bluetooth speaker with electrostatic technology. Many music enthusiasts feel electrostatic technology delivers superior sound quality. But electrostatic speakers have been big and power hungry. Now, thanks to BenQ, that’s no longer true. The BenQ treVolo design, with its collapsible wings and bi-directional sound, captures an incredible range of sounds. Dual amplification and precision-tuned small woofers deliver clean, accurate lower notes that electrostatic speakers alone miss. I’m very impressed with theBenQ treVolo’s sleek metallic housing and powerful looks. The 12-hour battery life lets you take your music anywhere in style. And so you can stay in-touch while listening, an integrated noise-canceling microphone enables you to sound better than ever when you answer your phone through the system. Frequency response 60 Hz - 20 kHz / Bluetooth 4.1 / Inputs: 3.5 mm stereo input, USB audio / aptX Support. It’s available in silver and in black. $299.00. There is a lot of information about this new electrostatic speaker system technology on the company website.

Have a thin laptop, but a fat powerbrick to drag along. No more!

When you get a thin, easy-to-carry-notebook computer, you’re often forced to carry a large, ungainly looking power supply to charge it. At Showstoppers, a company called Zolt changed that with a new laptop charger that they say is the world's smallest and lightest. Dubbed the Zolt Laptop Charger Plus, it’s actually more than a power brick for your computer. The top of the Zolt has 3 USB ports built in that allow it to charge multiple gadgets at the same time. One USB port can power your laptop, (up to 70 watts, which company says is about 90% of all laptops) while the other two can charge other USB devices, like your smartphone, and tablet. At three inches long, 1.3” in diameter and weighting just three ounces, it is the smallest I’ve seen. Available in three colors, it also features a fold-down plug that rotates 90º to squeeze into tight spots. 110V to 240V voltage. The Zolt Laptop Charger Plus ships with a 6ft. laptop charging cable, 7 Interchangeable PC tips and Travel Pouch. Retail price when it’s available in Spring, will be $99.99. It’s available for preorder for $79.99.
