HTC launches Desire V, Desire C and One S in Singapore Source: http://vr-zone.com/articles/htc-launches-desire-v-desire-c-andone-s-in-singapore/16252.html June 12th, 2012

HTC Asia has announced the launch of their next generation Desire series phones - Desire V and Desire C - with Beats Audio technology, and the One S which claims to be the slimmest and most elegant phone yet. All three phones will be available on 16 June, this weekend.

The gaming laptop has a sleek aluminum black finish, green back-lit LED keys and green-lit halo on the power button. One unique feature of the Razer Blade is the Switchblade User Interface (on the right of the keyboard) that allows you to bind an infinite number of commands, skills and macros to the 10 dynamic adaptive tactile keys with custom icon overlays for the game you are playing. While the Razer Blade looks to be a great portable gaming laptop, we wondered if there are many gamers who would bring their gaming laptop wherever they go, set it up and play their favorite game. Most of the gaming laptops today are designed to be desktop replacements, and to remain stationary on your table in your room than to be lugged around with due to their bulkiness. According to a Razer spokesperson, the company has done their research and surveyed online gamers with regards to this trend of mobile laptop gaming. But unfortunately, Razer is unable to share the figures and findings on that. So you may be asking, how much is the Razer Blade? Well, the Razer Blade will retail at S$3,999.99 and is going to be available this Thursday, 14 June. Needless to say, that is more expensive than the other gaming laptops, and even the new Macbook Pros that were recently announced at WWDC. Not to mention, the Razer Blade will not be using the third generation Intel Core processors, but the second generation ones which the company said is sufficient to run the latest games. But if you want a out-of-this-world gaming laptop and don't mind paying such a high premium,

The HTC Desire C is designed as an affordable smartphone for users who are getting their first Android phone, or upgrading from an existing one. It features the latest HTC Sense 4.0, powerful battery, access to thousands of apps on Google Play, and runs Android 4.0 ICS. It is available in red, white and black finishes, and priced at S$338 (before telco subsidies).
