Dell Launches New Printers, Workstations

Dell Launches New Printers, Workstations

Direct marketer Dell took the wraps off a new line of laser printers aimed squarely at rival Hewlett-Packard’s workgroup and business printing market, introducing five new monochrome and color laser printers with high page counts and competitive prices. Dell also rolled out two new Precision workstations which may not have a lot of visual flair, but boast significantly improved zip-to-dollar ratios.

Dell’s new printer offerings include:

  • The Laser Printer 5310n is priced at $999 and is intended for large groups with big black-and-white printing needs, offering speeds up to 50 ppm at letter sizes, numerous expansion options, and low operational costs.

Logitech Rolls Out New Gaming Peripherals

Logitech on Tuesday added two new computer peripheral products to its growing line of G-series devices for gamers. The Logitech G3 Laser Mouse is priced at $59.99 and will be available in August, while the G11 Keyboard will hit store shelves in July for $69.99.

Microsoft Targets Gamers with Laser Mouse

Microsoft today began showing off a new wired laser mouse they are targeting towards gamers. The Laser Mouse 6000 will be available for $54.95 in October.

The Laser Mouse 6000 uses laser technology to deliver what Microsoft says is maximum precision and superior control. It has an ergonomic design, advanced software that allows the user to shift between speed and precision controls and a gaming toggle feature for switching between different used action sequences. The mouse also features a magnifier tool for enlargement and editing of on screen text.

Kensington Debuts Mobile Laser Mouse

Kensington Debuts Mobile Laser Mouse

Kensington has announced three new laser mice to be available in October using 2.4 Ghz wireless technology and laser tracking which lets the mice operate with high precision on a wide variety of surfaces. Kensington claims the technology, scanning at 800 dpi, is up to 20 times more accurate than other LED-based optical mice.

For the desktop, Kensington will offer the three-button PilotMouse Laser Wireless and the six-button PilotMouse Laser Wireless Pro (suggested prices $49.99 and $59.99 respectively) with programmable buttons, tilt-wheel 4-way scrolling, extended battery life, and a range up to 30 feet.

But the standout of the pack

IoGear Launches 5-Button USB Laser Mouse

Another day, another mouse announcement. This time the word on the street is about IoGear’s new 5-Button USB Laser Mouse, which the company says is the first peripheral of its kind to offer an immediate application shortcut. It is available now for $39.95.

As the title implies, IoGear’s mouse has five buttons. One of these buttons is deemed an “instant access” button which allows users to one click open a Microsoft Office application. There’s also a customizable “shortcut” wheel which allows for common tasks to be done in each application.

Protection with Lasers

The new OptoShield OS3100 Laser Light Safety Scanner employs laser light to monitor motion within set safety zones.  In dangerous workplaces where employees need to work in tandem with moving equipment, robot stations, or automated guided vehicles, the Laser Light Scanner avoids accidents by shutting down the machine when the human gets too close.

“We believe the introduction of the OptoShield represents an important product and underlying technology for STI in our quest to be a ‘one-stop’ supplier of automation safeguarding products and services,” said Joseph J. Lazzara, CEO of Scientific Technologies.

Intel’s Silicon laser

Working with the basic material of computer chips, Intel Corp. researchers have constructed an all-silicon laser that could lead to computers one day harnessing light waves rather than electrical currents to shuttle data swiftly.

Today, lasers that power fast optical networks require exotic — and expensive — materials and are mainly used in vast communications networks. With everyday silicon, the capacity and efficiency of light waves could be used cheaply in much smaller environments.

As a result, the movement of data within computers would keep up with the ever-increasing speed of microprocessors, breaking through an increasingly problematic bottleneck that exists for users of complex programs, such as video editors, large businesses and governments.

Logitech Unveils World’s First Laser Mouse

Combining laser with Logitech’s powerful MX processing engine and Fast RF wireless technology, the Logitech MX 1000 Laser Cordless Mouse sets a new performance benchmark for responsiveness andaccuracy.

Laser is the latest in a long list of mouse firsts for Logitech, a roster that includes the first commercially available mouse in 1982, the first cordless mouse in 1984, and the first cordless optical mouse in 2001. Now, Logitech introduces the first mouse with laser tracking technology.

Canon debuts laser class 510

The new Canon LASER CLASS 510 offers a small footprint in a user-friendly device. It will be available later this month through Canon authorized dealers and Canon Business Solutions locations. Thesuggested retail price is $1,695.

“Despite the growth of e-mail, fax still remains a reliable technology that continues to support the daily correspondence of organizations,” said Chris Sedlacek, assistant director, Canon U.S.A. Integrated Business Systems “A powerful imaging device such as the LASER CLASS 510 can serve the primary needs of organizations and also compliment operations when an electronic document can’t be opened or e-mail systems go off line. Products like the LASER CLASS 510 also remain the key transaction method for mortgages, legal documents and medical referrals.”
