Editor's Letter
S
eason’s greetings and welcome to the 2011 holiday edition of Tech in Style magazine! The last few months of this year are absolutely packed with new launches and technology innovations, which is both extremely exciting for us and also admittedly a bit daunting, when you're trying to compile a gift list. We’ve dived through the new additions to detail what features are important, and who they'd be perfect for. Let me take you through a brief example: If you’re serving up a family Christmas you want to share, there is a beautiful new all-in-one (AIO) with 27 inches of screen real-estate the family can gather round. Alternatively if you want something more active, the new bundled WAVI Xtion lets you can play games controller-free on your HDTV. At the other end of the scale, if you plan to take a holiday in the New Year, an Ultrabook or tablet will certainly be the perfect travel companion, as they are extremely lightweight and thin.
Despite all the fun and games, we’re not forgetting the business folk. The Eee Slate B121 offers both touch and pen control on the large 12 inch display. Running Windows 7, it has native support for a huge range of professional and business applications from the likes of Adobe, Microsoft and many more. We hope you enjoy our new edition of Tech in Style magazine, and between issues please come and join us on our website at www. techinstyle.tv and Facebook page at facebook.com/techinstyle.tv.
