CES 2013: The Giada i53!

By -
While walking around the CES show floor, we stumbled upon the Giadatech booth. What we saw was a slimline PC running Windows 8 Pro. So we stopped and looked around. We were shocked to find out that the slimline PC was running off of a 3rd Gen Intel I5 CPU!

Why yes, that's USB 3!
Sure, this PC is not made for gaming, but it can handle everything else you throw at it!

Specs:
Intel 3rd Gen I5-3317U 1.7Ghz  Turbo Boost to 2.6Ghz
Intel HM76 Express Chipset
Intel HD 4000 Graphics DirectX 11 support
HDMI with support for 5.1 audio and 720P, 1080P and 2160P!!!
2 Mini-PCI Express Expansion Slots (1 mSATA SSD)
4GB DDR3 RAM (expandable to 8GB)
320GB or 500GB HDD

802.11B/G/N + Bluetooth
Gigabit Ethernet
USB 2 and USB 3 ports
VESA Mountable
Intel Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
Remote Control
4 in 1 card reader (SD/MMC/MS PRO/MS)

This little guy should be able to handle everything from being a media center, to office productivity and more. It does retail in the $559 area with an I3 variant around $489. Which is almost inline with lower end Ultrabook systems out now, to own a tiny desktop capable of I5 Ultrabooks at a lower price seems nice to me.

Updated: Question: Should A Cosplayer Be Kicked Out Of PAX East For Doing Her Job?

Day 1 Left, Day 2 Right Just to be clear, Jessica Nigri was asked to leave and change, she was allowed back in... But on day 1 of PAX east, she went dressed as Lollipop Chainsaw's star, Juliet Starling, without issue. Day 2 she went dressed as the same character in one of the multiple alt costumes and asked to leave to change. She returned in the cheerleader uniform from day 1 she was asked to change again, cover up, or leave entirely! Did I mention she was at the WB Games booth and is the official character model for the game? So what's the point of this post? Most of the Grotto staff come from a place in the US where people can go grocery shopping wearing A LOT less than what Nigri had on! Now if she were dressed in one of the alternate costumes from Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, then I can understand the issue. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+ and after the break, see Nigri's Day 3 costume! Updated 4/9/2012: Added

Greeting Geeks, In case you haven't checked it out yet, Nickelodeon has released their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. As a general disclaimer: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY'S TURTLES PROJECT . To put it simply, it's Teen Titans meets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). To put it more complexly...well...you'll have to hit the jump for that.
