Toshiba might have brought two entirely new lines of ultrabooks to the public over in Berlin at the IFA 2012, but that doesn’t mean the old Portege Z830/Z835 has been forgotten. One of the best 13-inchers from last year has been refreshed and rehashed,...

What started off as a pretty boring and uneventful press conference in Las Vegas turned into a real feast, at least for ultrabook fans. Samsung has unveiled no less than four different ultrabooks at CES 2012 and, after talking about the whole new Series...
