Recent advances in processor technology have lead to a bottleneck in communication with memory. Trying to overcome this barrier with the currently used method — smaller, better designed semiconductors — is impractical due to the higher power necessary to transport data at higher rates. Scientists at MIT believe they may have discovered a way to circumvent this limit — the use of germanium lasers.

The Pro X2 stores up to 4,000 photos or 3 hours of video with its 8 GB capacity and allows you to upload your data through your Wi-Fi network with unprecedented wireless performance.

The old axiom that you can’t upgrade a laptop has never been less true. Sure, your nay-saying, desktop-bound friends who repeat it have a basic kernel of truth in their favor – the core guts of a mobile machine are pretty much set in stone. But if you’re not looking to completely revamp a computer (which can hardly be called an upgrade anyway), aftermarket manufacturers have found plenty of clever ways to skirt the issue of expandability, and… Read More
