noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 10:05:00 +0000

HP has always tried to do something different that actually makes it stand out in the crowd. It always came up with different products and the recent one to its kitty is Sprout – a Windows 8 PC with 3D scanning and a projected second screen. Isn’t the move by HP a commendable thing? The product developed is a result of a tremendous partnership between HP, Microsoft, Intel and 3M.

The innovative and revolutionary step taken by HP is surely going to cost a little more. So, if you have been planning to invest a little more on your next desktop, then why not chose the one that allows you to do multiple things at a time. Need to know more about the product? iYogi brings a full review of this product only to make it easier for you to pick the best from the lot.

Sprout – a complete package of computing, scanning and projection

Sprout from HP is a perfect blend of great computing experience, 3D scanning and quality projector. It is basically a 3D scanner and a projected touchscreen attached to a Windows 8 all-in-one desktop.

The most stunning part of the Sprout is the built-in scanner, projector and a real sense 3D camera.

On top of the HP sprout, 23-inch monitor called Sprout Illuminator is fixed which carries LED lights, and a combination projector and quad camera. The best part, you don’t have to stress your eyes onto a projection screen as Sprout comes with a 20-inch, 1024x768-pixel display, which reflects onto a large capacitive touchpad, called a Touch Mat.

The Illuminator of Sprout carries 14.6 megapixels camera for clearer and specific identification of documents or objects that are placed on top of the projector. The third role of the HP Sprout is the scanner. You don’t have to look out for any other object here as the Illuminator projector only acts as a scanner. Since, the projector comes embedded with an Intel Real Sense 3D Camera, so the projector very conveniently determines 3D data. Sprout is very much similar to Kinect as it also holds the capability to view three-dimensional things. So, any item placed right below the projector is copied at the tap of the icon and both 2D and 3D items are reduced into flat graphic designs.

Top and Bottom parts of Sprout

HP launched Sprout with an aim to provide the users a product that not only allows them to work on a regular Windows 8 touchscreen, but also that lets them scan and work on the bottom projected screen. As a user, you can very easily work on the bottom projected screen and can use the top display as the application space.

Hardware

The Sprout from HP comes inbuilt with a fourth-gen Core i7-4790S desktop PC with Nvidia GeForce GT745A graphics and Windows 8.1 OS. This is surely a great package that has a lot to offer. It sounds interesting even for the game players, who love to spend quality time playing games. It is so, because Sprout carries 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive with 8GB of cache.

Conclusion

HP has definitely tried to offer something different to its customers through Sprout, which is a great combination of a PC, 3D scanner and a projector. Priced at $1,899, Sprout has already entered the markets of US. So, if you are ready to spend a little more and want to experience the latest invention by HP, pick the Sprout now through retail stores, including Best Buy and the Microsoft Store.

Motorola Brings To You The Incredible Sequel To Moto X

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 07:11:00 +0000

The next-gen Motorola Moto X is faster and more gorgeous than before. If you’ve been a Moto fan for quite some time, this handset won’t disappoint you, albeit it will add more flavors to your experience. Its reliable performance and build quality has bridged the gap between it and its rivals. With various customizable design options available, it’s truly a flagship product revealed by Motorola this time. It truly hits all the right notes with a powerful high-end handset.

It flaunts curved backing, similar to its predecessor and offers a remarkably comfortable hold. It’s more accommodating in comparison to its rival handsets. You won’t find it troublesome at all while flicking trough this incredible device.

With a 5.2-inch OLED display, which is brilliant and vivid, and 5.08 ounces weight, it helps you gain more screen unlike its predecessors. The OLED display flaunts Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and 1080p resolution. This flawlessly designed handset has trimmings upgraded from plastic to metal, which imparts an aesthetic touch to its design, giving you a luxurious feeling. Moreover, you’ll get two color options for the front side and 17 for the back.

It comes equipped with Android 4.4.4. Kitkat and is capable of updating to Android L. Along with this, it contains the usual bundle of Google apps such as Drive, Gmail, Chrome Browser, Maps, etc. It also has various handy software tricks such as digital and search assistant, Moto Voice, which you can activate by simply touching the device. But while using Moto Voice, there are some admonitions that you need to cater to. You need to be in a quiet room and your speech should be clear. You also need to give it ample time to register your command. In addition to this, you’ll also get some preloaded apps from the carrier.

This new version of Moto has jumped a leap in terms of camera, boasting away its 13-megapixels, which can record video in slow motion and in 2,160p ultra HD 4K. Besides, the camera has only a handful of feature, which might be a little disappointing for you if you expect too much out of its 13-megapixels. Simple features like geo-tagging, panoramic shooting and HDR are there. The front-facing 2-megapixel camera can record in 1080p HD. You can take photos while shooting a video and can also pause live recording as per your convenience. More so, you can launch the camera with just one flick of your wrist like in its predecessor.

Data speed is relatively fast over this and the average download and upload rate is also commendable. On average, sites load quite fast over this and installing any games or apps takes only a few seconds. Apart from this, its processor is incredibly swift and graphics intensive games play quite smoothly on it.

Power-driven with 2,300mAh battery, this phone has a standby time of 10.4 days. Though battery is passable, but it is not highly impressive. With moderate usage, it can survive one working day without a charge.

Its US starting price is $100 and $500 both on- and off-contract respectively. With the world immersed in the pool of black slabs and boring color options, this device will make you feel like it’s truly designed for you and reflects your personal style.

Uday Challu, co-founder and CEO of iYogi has shared that, “Led by Madison India Capital and existing investors, PE firms have already committed $35 million to the company”. This statement clearly affirms the expansion plans of the company and that they have already taken the first steps towards realizing this goal.

This planning is in sync with the company’s idea of venturing into newer geographical regions such as Europe, Latin America, and also Asia. So far, the company has already entered into partnership with Telephonica, a leading telecommunication brand in Spain, thereby flagging off the iYogi operations in the country. In addition to this, iYogi is in talks with several telecom companies across Australia, West Asia, and India to start off similar services in their regions of operation.

Going by the history of the company’s performance, it is just a matter of sometime before one could say that iYogi has indeed entered the prestigious $1 billion-revenue club.

Otterbox’s Defender Series Case – Stronger Protection to your Mini iPad

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 05 Aug 2013 12:31:00 +0000

Are you looking for any gear that can protect your iPad mini from falling or breaking down? If, yes, then we suggest that you stop looking further. The new Otterbox Defender Series Case can protect your device in a relatively easy manner. Here, iYogi reviews the Otterbox’s Defender case and highlights its sharp features and put light on its specifications.

Available at a reasonable price of $39, Defender Series Case isn’t very stylish but it can definitely protect your mini better than most. The case is made of four-part case with a heavy duty cover, which makes it powerful enough to protect your device from breaking down. Also, Otterbox provides an easy-to-follow instruction video, which can help people in using the case comfortably.

As per iYogi reviews team inspection, the Defender looks pretty slim with two-piece plastic shell that snaps onto the device. It provides soft strips to hold the back of your mini along with thin plastic screen protector that leaves open space for iPad’s ports, buttons and microphone. Next, we observed that the device has black silicone layer that fits around the plastic shell.

The Defender also features rubber flaps for mini’s lightning port, headphone jack and mute switch and its silicone layer is pretty rigid while the button covers are easy to press and the flaps are smooth enough to remove. There is also a thick and hard plastic cover in the Defender that doubles as a stand, however, it is easy to get on and off and it also attaches at the four corners of the mini rather easily.

iYogi reviews team also observed that the cover also provides screen protection when your iPad mini is not in use, also inside the cover, there’s a stand that pops up and allows you to change your mini in landscape orientation. The user can also change it into upright, movie-viewing and lower typing angle as per your need and convenience.

There is no doubt about the protection feature of Defender as the case has better withstanding power than any other case in the same price. You can hands on with Defender Series at a reasonable price of $39. Though not prettiest but Defender certainly is a good protection tool for your iPad mini.

Ouya – Your Gaming Destination

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 13:29:00 +0000

If you are looking for a quick yet reasonable gaming console then Ouya is definitely going to attract you. iYogi reviews Ouya, a little gaming console and brings in light the most amazing features of this console. Here’s a look.

Priced at $100, Ouya console comes with a wireless controller packed in an attractive little box, about the size of a Rubik’s Cube. The console is developed with the help of Tegra 3 processor running at 1.7GHz and 1GB of RAM, with 8GB of flash storage. iYogi reviews team noticed that it is like a mid-tier tablet designed to work with your TV instead of a touchscreen.

The hardware of Ouya isn’t very impressive but with such a reasonable price that isn’t bad either. iYogi reviews team takes a close look at the product and finds that the shape of Ouya gaming console is similar to the popular design of the Xbox 360 controller. Further, Ouya is packed with two sticks, a D-pad, four face buttons (labeled O-U-Y-A), shoulder buttons, and triggers and its layout is fine, but the quality is a little subpar.

iYogi reviews team also finds that the initial set up of Ouya is simple and it is just like contemporary consoles with fairly simple and unattractive menu staring at four words: Play, Discover, Make, and Manage. Coming to the performance of Ouya, well the Ouya platform is based on Android 4.2 and the same is customized with Ouya menus, stores, fonts, and prompts, all fit to use on a big TV. Ouya runs its own store and the players cannot access the Google Play store.

iYogi reviews team discovered that Ouya’s biggest problem is that it cannot represents the Wild West of game development, with no clear “Killer app.” However, the best part of Ouya is that it delivers good hardware on the cheap as well as free development kits based on an operating system Android. As per iYogi reviews team verdict, the Ouya gaming console could have been a great gaming console, only if it has major streaming service such as Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, or sportify. However, with that price range it isn’t a bad deal either.

Kingdom Rush Frontiers – A Real-Time Gaming Experience

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:58:00 +0000

Are you looking for a challenging, charming, and real-time gaming experience? Well, Armor Games ‘Kingdom Rush Frontiers’ in iOS is here to fulfill all these requirements. iYogi reviews Kingdom Rush Frontiers and tell you how entertaining this game is for you and your kids.

The Kingdom Rush Frontiers landed earlier this month is one of the best tower defense games on mobile and the fans of its previous version ‘Kingdom Rush’ will be very familiar with the Frontiers gameplay. For people who like frenetic strategy, endearing artwork, and great personalities of Frontiers gameplay, Kingdom Rush Frontiers is an ideal game. iYogi reviews team finds that the game consists of cartoon soldiers as they seek to defend their lands. The game will also provide mission briefs and updates on the story.

However, the campaign in the game appears a bit scattered and the gimmicky enemies used in the gameplay are hard to kill. iYogi reviews team notices that the overall medieval theme and mechanic Armor used in this game perfectly reflects the original game i,e. Kingdom Rush. The game will also provide you a glimpse of Indiana Jones in one of the temple stages and a fun pirate-themed stage in other stages. The Kingdom Rush Frontiers also allows you to hire pirate stage keeping the gameplay exciting throughout the time.

iYogi reviews team noticed that the game will give you an access to four types of towers that you can upgrade. You can also upgrade individual powers, manage heroes, and deploy special powers like falling fireballs and reinforcements. The only difference that we noticed in this sequel is that the highest level towers have different looks and powers now as compared to Kingdom Rush. However, the fundamental gameplay elements remain unchanged.

iYogi reviews team finds that the game has introduced new enemies like tribesman, mummies, and lizard people. It’s hard to say that Kingdom Rush Frontiers is a true sequel of Kingdom Rush, but the new levels, heroes, theme, and content makes it a worthy purchase. You can enjoy the amazing gameplay with Kingdom Rush Frontiers at a price of $3.

N-Trig DuoSense Pen 2 -Now Play Around With Styluses on Windows and Android

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:27:00 +0000

Are you looking for a pen that can help you to take easy notes and even sketch on your Windows 8 or Android tablet? Well, it seems the new N-Trig DuoSence Pen 2 is designed to fulfill all these needs. Along with providing a smooth and comfortable sketching or painting experience, the N-Trig DuoSence Pen 2 can improve you writing skills with its pointed nib. iYogi reviews team gives you a close look at the feature of this amazing pen.

The N-Trig DuoSence Pen 2 is a pressure-sensitive drawing tool, packaged with certain laptop and tablet that runs with Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Android. The pen is packed with 256 levels of pressure-sensitivity, a hover mode, and programmable buttons. Going to the design of the N-Trig DuoSence Pen 2, iYogi reviews team found that the pen is slim, black, and tipped with a small plastic nib. It also has an AAAA battery, which is quite powerful.

The N-Trig DuoSence Pen 2 has a negative side too, it seems the stylish black pen is smaller in length and it almost hides in hand, while using it for navigation. However, if you feel your fingers are not good for such a task on a multi-Touch screen, then you can definitely give a chance to DuoSence. As per the iYogi reviews team inspection, the DuoSence Pen 2 is rather smooth and perfectly slides over the tablet screen, and there seems to be no lag in communication between pen and tablet.

Coming to how DuoSence is as a sketch tool, the pen is pressure-sensitive but its inadequacy in app implementation brings it little down from other styluses in this category. However, the plastic nip of DuoSence is slim and very close in diameter and this makes it perfect for sketch and drawing purpose. On the same hand, iYogi reviews team also noticed that the pen is quite slippery on the tablet surface and the nib isn’t springy enough to capture light dots accurately on the digital page.

The good thing is, the DuoSence uses palm rejection technology and will allow you to put your hand on the screen while drawing. It is also good at writing and PDF annotation and it can allow you to write down quick notes and annotations without any strange lines appearing on the screen. So, if you are cursive writer, the DuoSence is not at all a bad deal for you.

As per iYogi reviews team, the N-Trig DuoSence Pen 2 is likely to be a decent addition and it is good for sketching and taking notes.
