By Laura Khalil January 6, 2011

This is the first 4G capable tablet for both companies and has been designed for the super-fast mobile broadband speeds of T-Mobile’s 4G network.

The Streak 7 features Google’s Android 2.2 operating system, a dual core 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and full support for Adobe Flash Player. It also comes equipped with a the rear-facing 5 megapixel camera for high-definition stills and video recording. The front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera with the preloaded Qik Video Chat application provide video-calling over T-Mobile’s network as well as Wi-Fi. The device is also Bluetooth 2.1 capable and comes with 16 GB of internal memory and SD Card slot with support for expandable memory up to 32 GB.

“Dell is continuing to create the very best in entertainment, mobile and gaming experiences,” said Steve Felice, president of Dell’s Consumer, Small and Medium Business unit. “With Streak 7 on the blazingly fast T-Mobile network, families, students and mobile professionals will gather, share, and find new ways to interact and keep in touch.”

The new Streak 7 will feature Dell’s Stage user interface. Later this year, Dell will add syncing to Stage so people can keep their photos, contacts, calendars and other personal content synchronized across their Dell Stage-equipped devices.

The Dell Streak 7 also comes preloaded with unique content and applications to entertain the whole family, including: T-Mobile TV, BrainPOP, Zinio, Qik Video Chat, Blockbuster, Kindle for Android, Let’s Golf demo, Slacker Radio and Zoodles.

The new Dell Streak 7 Tablet is expected to be available in the U.S. in the coming weeks at T-Mobile retail stores and directly from Dell. No word on pricing yet for the Dell Streak 7, but we’d expect to hear that shortly.

Dell’s new G16 is a larger, more powerful budget gaming laptop

An open Dell G16 laptop with its lid open.

Dell's G-series gaming laptops are meant to provide a budget-friendly option for gamers, especially when compared to their more expensive Alienware machines. But the new Dell G16-7620 looks to be a beast of a gaming laptop.

This a significant departure from past G-series machines. The previous-generation G15 was decent, but compared to the Alienware lineup, it lacked the best cooling, graphics, refresh rates, and other mainstays of high-end gaming laptops. The G16 appears to be different.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon vs. Dell XPS 13

Dell XPS 13 9310 Featured Image showing display and keyboard deck.

Dell's XPS 13 sits at the top of our best laptops list and our list of the best 13-inch laptops. It's a near-perfect combination of design, aesthetics, and productivity performance resulting from years of improvements. Lenovo's IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon is a 14-inch laptop that seeks to compete with the XPS 13 by providing a slightly larger display in its own sleek and modern package.

The IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon has a faster CPU and a gorgeous OLED display, while the XPS 13 provides good enough performance and its own spectacular OLED option. Does the Lenovo's speed trump the Dell's excellent design?

Inspiron 15 3000 -- $300, was $419

First up on the chopping block is the Inspiron 15 3000, a great little laptop if you're looking for a budget-friendly device for work or study. The Intel Pentium Silver N5030 may not be as powerful as their i-series CPUs, but it's still powerful enough to run the basics well, especially if we're talking about productivity software. The RAM is admittedly a bit on the low side at 4GBs, but the 127GBs storage is a bit more reasonable, although we'd still probably grab an external hard drive to help supplement the storage. Where the Inspiron 15 3000 shines is the FHD screen, which comes in at 15.6 inches, giving you tons of screen real estate to do your work. The other upside is that there is a lot of space for a big keyboard, so this can be handy if you tend to type a lot. Of course, if you want something a bit more substantial but not necessarily gaming-related, we have some other great laptop deals for you to look at.
