A few weeks ago Microsoft launched Windows 8.1 with Bing which is 100 percent identical to usual Windows 8 we have to know from the past two years.
The only difference is the fact it comes with Bing as the search engine by default. Microsoft is offering heavy discounts to the OEMs who are offering this OS on their laptops.
The Asus F200MA is one of the first to be launched with this new operating system and is already up for sale on a French online retailer for about €250.
Asus F200 MA specifications include 11.6 inch display, 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, 500 gigabyte hard disk drive, 2GB RAM, Intel Celeron N2830 bay trail processor, 1x USB 3.0 and 2x USB 2.0 ports.
Fujitsu has announced its latest tablet running Windows 8.1 – ARROWS Tab Q335 / K, which features a display measuring diagonally eight inches. The unit features processor supplied by Intel.
This tablet is meant for business applications and will make its debut in October this year. What can we expect from it?
* 8 inch display
* Intel Atom Z3735F quad core processor
* Intel HD graphics with graphics media accelerator (311 – 646 MHz)
* 1 gigabyte of RAM
* Dimensions: 126 x 9.9 mm
* Weight 400 grams
The processor runs at 1.33GHz and boasts a turbo boost speed of 1.83GHz. As expected it runs the latest version of Windows which is v8.1 and since it is meant for professionals, it runs Windows 8.1 Pro.
Since the Fujitsu ARROWS Tab Q335 weighs just 400g it is very light and useful too.
Acer has finally made its inexpensive fanless laptops Aspire E11 and V11 for sale. This is a small laptop that sells for mere 250 dollars.
The V11 is similar to the E11 and it adds a touchscreen display. We had a chance to play with the E11 and we found this laptop to be thin and light.
Both E11 and V11 offer performance that is good enough for basic tasks with all day battery life.
It shall be noted that since the processor is very, very power frugal, you should not expect its 7.5 watt processor to match the performance of a 15w haswell CPU.
Asus has launched two new mini PCs in the market which are VivoPC VM42 and VM62N. It features polycarbonate shell with aluminium alloy cover that bears concentric circles like the new Zenfone phones.

Of course the show stopper is the VivoPC VM62N that features Intel Core i3 4030U processor and Nvidia GeForce GT 820M GPU that is perfect for casual gamer who do not pushes all the settings to max.

Giada has launched D2308 tiny desktop with Intel haswell processor and Nvidia GPU. The Giada D2308 runs on Intel haswell processor and measure mere 9″ x 6.8″ x 2.15″ which means that they are very compact.
While there are many other tiny desktops available in the market like Zotac Zbox EN760 this one is also very small. In fact it is slimmer than Microsoft’s Xbox One and runs full fledge Windows 8 operating system. This is how it looks like.
Giada will offer some more variants of this model. First is D2308U which combines Intel Core i7 4500U processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX750 GPU. Second is D2308V which comes with an i5 4200U CPU and GTX650 graphics from Nvidia.
