Acer’s WQHD S7 Ultrabook finally hits the US next week
While we found the S7 a “near perfect” machine, one of our gripes was that Acer didn’t offer any versions with a 2,560 x 1,440 high-res display in the US. Now the company is dropping off Wide Quad High-definition (WQHD) S7 laptops in the states, and has already specced out two samples packing a 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. The S7-392-6425 will be $1499 and use Intel’s i5-4200U processor, while the S7-392-9439 is priced at $1,799.99 with an i7-4500U. You can snag both next week at a variety of online and retail outlets including Frys and Amazon.
HTC One for Sprint gets its KitKat update a little early
HTC must feel that it’s best to underpromise and overdeliver. While the company told American One owners that they wouldn’t get KitKat on time, the 535MB Android upgrade is already available on Sprint; eager subscribers just have to check for an update to start downloading. More patient types can wait until February 11th, when the carrier will begin pushing the OS to all users. There’s no word of an accelerated launch on other US networks, so Sprint customers may be sitting pretty for the next couple of weeks.
[Thanks, Mike]
