acer travelmate p645 x313 reveal unveil release

In the market for an ultrabook? Soon, you’ll have two more options to choose from. Acer just announced a pair of new ultraportables dubbed the TravelMate P645 and TravelMate X313. Here’s a rundown of each.

TravelMate P645

Powered by Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, the Acer TravelMate P645 (pictured above) ships with one of two touchscreens. One is a 1920 x 1080 display on an IPS panel, while the other offers a scaled-down resolution of 1366 x 768. Both screens measure 14 inches. The Acer TravelMate P645 with the 1080p screen offers dedicated graphics in the form of an AMD Radeon HD 8750M GPU with 2GB of RAM, while the Acer TravelMate P645 that’s paired with the 1366 x 768 display will pack an integrated Intel GPU. Weighing 3.31 pounds, the going rates for the Acer TravelMate P645 notebooks will start at $950.

Aaaaannd now for the more flamboyant option. The Acer TravelMate X313 (pictured below) is a convertible notebook, meaning that it can transform into tablet mode. The X313 wears an 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 IPS touchscreen that, at 0.39-inches thin and a feather-like weight of 1.74 pounds, sounds pretty easy to carry around. Powered by an Intel Core i5-3339Y processor, the TravelMate X313 sports 4GB of RAM, a 120GB SSD, and Intel HD 4000 graphics. Acer claims that the TravelMate x313 gets six hours of battery life. Like its bulkier brethren, the Acer TravelMate X313 will also start at $950.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage

Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

This tiny ThinkPad can’t quite keep up with the MacBook Air M2

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
