Transparent laptop screen, that's right I said transparent laptop screen. Is this insane or what. I stumbled across this while searching for a monitor for my latest build. I could not believe my eyes. This would look great on a tablet, but where would they put the electronics. Gizmodo says that Samsung will be selling this within a year but I'm not sure. I guarantee you wont see it on my desk until the price drops about a year or so after it is released.

Motorola Xoom
New products are not the only ones that catch my eye. A product that has been out for a while but is offered at a good price can be just as exciting. After a little research however that excitement can fade. For example this Motorola Xoom for sale on www.woot.com has a great price compared with the last time I saw it, but is it really a good deal.
10 inch tablets, I want one. I want one now. But, I want a good deal and I am willing to wait for just the right tablet at just the right price. This Motorola xoom caught my eye. But after checking some mainstream online vendors this price is nothing to scream about. The prices I have found are as follows:
 |
Motorola XOOM 10.1” 32GB Android Tablet with Wi-Fi$349.99
|
www.newegg.com $379.99 re-certified
www.tigerdirect.com $399.99 refurbished
www.amazon.com $448.01 new
www.staples.com $499.98 new
amazon.com had some refurbished for a cheaper price but I did not recognize any of the vendors. I never purchase from a vendor I have not researched thoroughly. Also note that the price jumps up from the refurbished to the new products. The price difference of $30 dollars for a refurbished is good if this is exactly what I want and I am going to buy it anyway. If I was planing to buy it new the price difference of about $100 might tempt me to buy refurbished. But I am holding out for a significant price reduction on the Acer Iconia w500. For anyone that wants a low end 10 inch tablet with no frills I found this Arnova tablet at tigerdirect. You should check the specifications and reviews but at $169.96 it is an affordable tablet.

What this is about.
I love everything tech. Technology is the most wonderful thing in the world to me. It is my rainbows and unicorns. It is my kung-fu. Every time I go online something new and exiting is there waiting for me to witness it. I like cutting edge tech and old school alike. Like an addict I must check my list of sites to make new discoveries and get my fix. In this blog, I will share my discoveries and my thoughts on these discoveries with you.
