In Win's Tou desktop case has glass and class all over it

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="In Win's Tou desktop PC case is made " data-src-height="413" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/06/in-win-tou-desktop-pc-case.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">At Computex, Taiwan-based In Win has once again brought out its funky-looking desktop cases, but this time there's a new star on the stage. Dubbed the Tou (meaning "transparent" in Mandarin Chinese), this ATX full tower features several 3mm-thick tempered glass panels that are screwed onto an aluminum structure. And since the coated glass is semi-transparent, you can just about see the desktop's innards if you switch on the LEDs inside, which can be controlled via the touch panel above the two front USB 3.0 ports. When the internal lights are off, the desktop is pretty much just a mirror, but you'll want to degrease your fingers before touching any part of it.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Sadly, at the moment the Tou is still at concept stage, so we couldn't squeeze a price or date out of the reps. When the chassis does become available, you'll know as soon as we do. </div></div>

Visualized: Intel's Haswell Core i7 overclocked to 6.88GHz on an ASUS motherboard

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Visualized ASUS overclocks Intel's Haswell Core i7 to 688GHz" data-src-height="413" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/06/asus-rog-cooling.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">After winning yesterday's Corsair Overclocking competition at Computex, the same folks were brought over to ASUS' ROG event earlier today, where they overclocked an Intel Haswell Core i7-4770K from its typical 3.5GHz to a staggering 6.88GHz -- just a tad less than yesterday's 6.98GHz -- on an ASUS Maximus VI Extreme motherboard. As a bonus, the DRAM frequency was also pushed to 4.1GHz, which is believed to be the fastest yet on Haswell. As usual, the overclockers poured liquid nitrogen onto the chip every now and then to keep it cool, thus giving us the above photo opportunity. </div></div>

ASUS teases upcoming mechanical ROG 'Armor Keyboard' for gamers

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="ASUS ROG announces the Armor Keyboard with mechanical keys for gamers" data-src-height="413" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/06/asus-rog-armor-keyboard-1370318410.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">ASUS' ROG presentation here at Computex wasn't all meaty graphic powerhouses -- it also displayed a new mechanical keyboard for discerning <s>typists</s> gamers, albeit underneath a piece of black cloth. We were told that the temporarily named "Armor Keyboard" wasn't quite ready to show off its design just yet, but when it comes out towards the end of Q3 this year it will, surprisingly, boast the title of ASUS' first in-house-designed mechanical gaming keyboard. As you'd expect, this backlit device will feature "ultra-responsive" mechanical key switches, as well as dedicated media and programmable hot keys located along the periphery. We'll be keeping an eye out for more information about it later this year, naturally.</div></div>

New Huawei P6-U06 spy shots show off black, brushed metallic body

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" itemprop="text" style="text-align: left;"> <div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Huawei's P6U06 gets another round of spy shots, this time " data-src-height="349" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/huawei-p6-u06-2.jpg" style="height: 349px; margin: 4px; width: 619px;" /></div>Quite frankly, Huawei's 6.18mm-thick P6-U06 is quickly becoming the company's worst leak in this half of 2013. Following yesterday's spy shots of said phone in black, today we received three new ones courtesy of an anonymous tipster, and this time we have a close-up of the brushed metallic back of the phone. Interestingly, the camera looks different than the one -- what appears to be a dual-SIM model -- in the TENAA filing, and we also noticed that the volume rocker is on the left side of the phone this time, while the headphone jack is now located at the top left side instead of at the bottom left. The overall shape of the device matches what we've seen before, though.<br /> On a related note, we've also been notified of an upcoming Huawei launch event in London on June 18th (Huawei Device chairman Richard Yu told us he's attending), and we wouldn't be surprised to see this slim phone popping up there -- hopefully alongside the mysterious Edge that was leaked in March. Two more shots of the P6-U06 after the break.<br /> <strong>Update:</strong> Meixcan blog <em>Circular</em> got hold of a couple of photos -- embedded after the break -- of the P6-U06 lit up. One of the shots reveal that the phone features a 1.5GHz quad-core chip, 2GB RAM and 8GB of storage space, along with Emotion UI 1.6 running on top of Android. We're not sure if the "No SD card found" message is an indication of microSD expansion, though.<br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Huawei's P6U06 gets another round of spy shots, this time " data-src-height="350" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/huawei-p6-u06-3.jpg" style="margin: 4px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Huawei's P6U06 gets another round of spy shots, this time " data-src-height="369" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/huawei-p6-u06-1.jpg" style="margin: 4px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="New Huawei P6U06 spy shots show off black, brushed metallic body" data-src-height="500" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/huawei-p6-u06-mexico.jpg" style="margin: 4px;" /></div></div></div>

ZTE Geek unveiled with 2GHz Intel Clover Trail+ and a terrible name

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="ZTE Geek makes a quiet " data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/zte-geek-idf.jpg" style="margin: 4px;" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Oh ZTE you cheeky monkey. Towards the end of day one at IDF in Beijing, we stumbled upon this awkwardly titled Android Jelly Bean phone that is the Geek at ZTE's booth. Needless to say, this is yet another phone powered by an Intel processor -- a 2GHz Clover Trail+ Atom to be exact, which is what Lenovo's K900 also has. The rest of the device isn't too shabby, either: you get a nice 5-inch 720p display with Gorilla Glass, along with an 8-megapixel main camera, a 1-megapixel front-facing camera, 8GB of storage space, 1GB of RAM, 2,300mAh battery and wireless charging. Radio-wise we see UMTS 900/2100 courtesy of Intel's XMM 6260 chip, and there's also the usual lot of 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 LE and GPS.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Design-wise the Geek takes a huge step away from the Grand X IN and shares a similarly clean look with the Grand S, but without the black eye around the main camera. This particular unit had a glossy white finish as well, but we'd prefer a matte finish for a more premium feel. Since ZTE admitted that it had to rush this prototype for exhibition at IDF, we'll come back to the build quality once we see a final retail unit. Until then, check out our hands-on video and the press release after the break.</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-c241ae8c" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/c241ae8c/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=26533709&disablebranding=0&view_secret=26533709" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>

Toshiba's Portege Z10t detachable Ultrabook debuts at IDF

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Toshiba's upcoming detachable Ultrabook debuts at IDF 2013 Beijing handson" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Right after Intel's somewhat mundane announcement of the Ultrabook Convertible and Ultrabook Detachable sub-brands at IDF in Beijing, SVP Kirk Skaugen surprised us by whipping out an unnamed laptop coming from Toshiba, so we jumped onto the stage to get a sniff of the only two units at the venue. Judging by the looks of it, we're confident that this is actually the Portege Z10t that hit the FCC last month -- the vents, camera and logo on the back match those in the drawing (embedded after the break) filed in the application.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/dsc0332.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013-2013-04-10-3.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="426" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013-2013-04-10-4.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013-2013-04-10-5.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013-2013-04-10-6.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-detachable-idf-2013-2013-04-10-7.jpg" width="640" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> As you can see, unlike Toshiba's previous Windows 8 convertible laptop, this second attempt is a detachable and features an absurdly large hinge sleeve, with the small release mechanism positioned in the middle of the hinge. The keyboard looks pretty slim in most parts, yet it also packs a backlit keyboard plus both a trackpad and a pointing stick; and most importantly, overall the docked device doesn't seem to be top-heavy. The 10-inch tablet itself also comes with a few handy ports, including a USB 3.0 port, a micro-HDMI socket and a full-size SD card slot, all located on the right-hand side along with the power socket, volume rocker, headphone jack and power button.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> The reps from both Intel and Toshiba were rather tight-lipped about this elusive device (the latter even said his folks have yet to come up with a name), so all we know is that this is powered by an Ivy Bridge processor (with vPro embedded security options) and it'll be available in Q2 this year. As always, stay tuned here for the eventual announcement.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Toshiba's Portege Z10t detachable Ultrabook debuts at IDF handson" data-src-height="438" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/toshiba-portege-z10t-fcc.jpg" style="margin: 4px;" /></div></div>

ASUS FonePad official: 7-inch tablet with phone functionality, priced at $249 (hands-on)

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="ASUS FonePad official 7inch tablet with phone functionality, priced at $249 for 16GB handson" data-src-height="533" data-src-width="800" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/img9041800-1361800437.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">We already knew ASUS was prepping a product called the FonePad, a 7-inch tablet with built-in phone functionality (yes, just like the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0). Well, ASUS just formally unveiled it here at Mobile World Congress, which means we've got a few more details to share than we did previously. First off, the speculation about its specs was all true: this does indeed have an Intel processor -- a 1.2GHz Atom Z2420, to be exact -- along with 1GB of RAM, a PowerVR SGX540 GPU, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and an HSPA+ radio. What's more, the 4,270mAH battery is said to get up to nine hours of runtime, which would put this in the same league as other Atom tablets we've tested recently.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">In terms of hardware features, the FonePad has a smooth metal back (available in gray and gold), making it drastically different in appearance from the similarly sized Nexus 7. 'Round back you'll find a panel where all the usual antennae are, and hidden underneath are both the micro-SIM slot and the microSD reader. That microSD slot, by the way, supports 32GB cards, which should come in handy considering this has just 16GB of built-in storage. Additionally, the tablet has a 1.2-megapixel front camera, attached to a 7-inch, 1,280 x 800 IPS display. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The FonePad will be available in Europe for £179 / €219. Here at MWC, ASUS also confirmed a US dollar price of $249, though we had heard rumblings it wouldn't actually be sold there. It arrives in March, but the specific on-sale date hasn't been revealed yet. We're hoping to test one ourselves soon enough, but until then, stay tuned for the usual round of hands-on shots.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><b>Update: </b>Our hands-on photos and video are in! Enjoy!</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-d1c01ab7" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/d1c01ab7/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=16094601&disablebranding=0&view_secret=16094601" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>

Alcatel One Touch Fire joins the Firefox OS cuddle party, we go hands-on (video)

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Alcatel One Touch Fire" data-src-height="358" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/alcatel-one-touch-fire.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">ZTE may have had a head start in the Firefox OS race ahead of MWC, but Alcatel's also got something similar to ride on the waves of some "500 million Mozilla users." Suitably dubbed the One Touch Fire, this entry-level phone is basically a rehash of the budget One Touch T'Pop announced back at CES, packing a 3.5-inch HVGA TN display, a 1GHz processor, 256MB RAM, 512MB storage and a 3.2-megapixel camera. There are also the usual bunch of radios: WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, FM radio and UMTS 900/2100 and 850/1900/2100 (up to 7.2Mbps for download and 5.76Mbps for upload). Underneath the removable 1,400mAh battery you'll find a microSD slot that'll take anything up to 32GB (a 2GB card is included), as well as a slot for an old-school Mini-SIM card.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">We got the chance to play with the Fire earlier today and while the glossy plastic body -- in either orange or pink -- felt solid enough, the performance wasn't quite there yet: the touch and software response were significantly sluggish, as you'll see in our hands-on video after the break. On the brighter side of things, the surprisingly large loudspeaker on the back produced some punchy bass, but don't expect too much from its audio quality. Alcatel has a few more months to grease up the phone before its June launch across Latin America and Europe, so we'll be able to give it a proper score then. Press release after the break.</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-1af9a2ab" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/1af9a2ab/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=67225493&disablebranding=0&view_secret=67225493" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>
