Microsoft’s Windows 8 on tablets is more than a sideline or gimmick, according to an analyst. Instead, it’s a necessity for the Windows franchise.
We’ve never had the chance to play with a USB monitor before, so when Lenovo offered to send over the ThinkVision LT1421 we told them that we’d most certainly take a look at it for them. The ThinkVision LT1421 is a 14-inch wide flat panel monitor that supports up to 1366×768 resolutions and uses a standard USB 2,0 port for the video stream and as a power source. The point of this unique monitor is to offer those that travel a way have a secondary monitor for ad-hoc meetings, without the need of projectors. This would obviously appeal to those that use a laptop for business meetings, sales presentations, academia and a wide variety of other applications. Priced at under $200 ($190,67 shipped to be exact) it makes owning a second screen for on-the-go user affordable.

The Dell XPS 14z is the smaller successor to the very popular XPS 15z. A great spec sheet, anodised aluminium and magnesium alloy design and discrete graphics make it a killer in its segment. But there is a hitch. Those of us who’ve been spoilt by Ultrabooks, those Macbook Air-ish, sexy, lightweight performers that take up as much space as a thin folder, will tell you that it’s pretty tough to come to terms with a 4-plus pound laptop with a bulky power adapter. Ultrabooks will change the face of laptop design, but until then, there are many of us who require powerful machines, and if it’s one of those you’re looking for, you might have to settle for something a tad more robust. The Dell XPS 14z which was first showcased at Dell World a couple of months ago might fit the bill.

A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed the Acer Aspire S3, one of the three ultrabooks available in the Indian market. This week, I get my hands on the ASUS Zenbook, the most high-end Ultrabook available in the market today. For a laptop that boasts of inbuilt Bang & Olufsen speakers and sticks to the ethos of the Intel Ultrabook, does the ASUS Zenbook justify its premium price tag?
