QUALCOMM WORKING ON QUAD-CORE PROCESSORS FOR WINDOWS 8 NOTEBOOKS

Qualcomm is known for its line of low power ARM-based processors for tablets and smartphones. The company doesn’t make chips for laptops or desktop computers at the moment. But that could change when Windows 8 hits the market later this year.

The ultrabook will run 430 pounds (about $687) in the UK. That’s not bad at all because computers aren’t exactly cheap in the UK. Even in the US, ultrabooks usually start at around $800.

MODMYPI BUILD CASES FOR THE RASPBERRY PI COMPUTER

The Raspberry Pi has got everything that a typical computer has, except for a case. The $35 computer has a processor, memory, USB and Ethernet ports. Unfortunately, it hasn’t got a protective case. It is basically only a system-on-a-board.
