Looking for a 3-D laptop? Here are a few of note
There has been much talk over the past two years about 3-D televisions, 3-D movies, and even handheld 3-D game consoles. Less widely discussed is one of the easiest and most versatile ways to get into stereoscopic 3-D: the 3-D laptop. After seeing a handful of 3-D systems in the past few years, 2011 has become the year of the 3-D laptop, with half a dozen crossing our desks so far this year. Here are a few

If you stroll down to your nearest retailer, be it JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys or even Harvey Norman, you will find many great laptops for under $1000. And not just any old laptops -- you'll find laptops that have Intel Core i7 processors, 4GB of RAM, lots of storage space (for most models), and some will even have discrete graphics rather than strictly relying on the graphics that are built in to the CPU.
As with all laptops though, it's the feel of the chassis, keyboard and touchpad, and the look of the screen that are most important. Be sure to check them out in the store before buying to make sure they are comfortable and that you will be able to use them every day without getting frustrated.Read more


Framingham teachers praise new laptops

New laptops being used in the schools are more than passing muster with local teachers, who say the devices have been a big plus in and out of the classroom.
The computers, which cost a total of $500,000, represent the largest major technology purchase in the district in years. One was issued last month to every teacher at the elementary school level and some in the middle schools. The funding also bought close to 100 projectors that are being shared among the classrooms this fall, said Stephen Yap, the district's interim technology director.
"To me, it's been a success," Yap said of the rollout. "We didn't get too many complaints."
On the contrary, teachers have been raving about the Dell Latitudes, which they've been able to integrate with other classroom technology such as interactive whiteboards to visit websites and access other virtual content.
