Edison's lightbulb once replaced candles, and the phones have overwhelmed telegraph... Now it's robotics era time! Do you still think that the robots are imbeciles and too mediocre. Leave your prejudices, welcome to reality.
Of course, robots today seems to be quite a dupe, unable to make a simple choice or bear any kind of responsibility. But nevertheless, it's just a beginning, and who knows maybe they think the same way about us? One day we see the world standing with a human face and shaking our hand to greet us, but tomorrow we might reveal that underneath this person's skin there is a rigid embedded structure making all our world change at once.
Robots have invaded the world, but the smartest one is carefully hidden in the underground workshops and laboratories far away from the eyes of a common user. And only some of them were approved to show itself to the publicity. One of such outbreaks became a Pepper robot.
Japanese manufacturers - the Softbank, in particular - may be accused in humanizing the machines, but anyway it's better, than keeping some one hand absurdly looking dummy, which could be easily mistaken with a speaking pot. The humanoid with a chest-mounted screen tablet, if frankly speaking, is actually somewhat you do not imagine after watching fiction movies.
Pepper robot will be able to express emotions and communicate with its owner to perform a variety of interactive roles, starting from the babysitter to guardsman at your home. This is a self-learning machine, which can observe and remember the behavior of the owners accumulating constantly growing experience. If new data apears, it gets uploaded in the cloud storage so that other robots could also use the recently interpreted for them information. And this is exactly how the people behave themselves with each other.
Excellent news: you do not have to go to Japan, Softbank Pepper to get the humanoid robot because it's preparing to launch in the United States before the end of this year. There's no mentioning about the price, but as a starting point, you can consider the price on its native land, which is ¥ 198,000 equaling to $ 1883. And perhaps you will train it so perfectly, that he will be able to save at least up to a few extra minutes a day of your personal time, or maybe even take your job on his own eventually.

This is not surprising, that the Sharp company knows better about the sharp eyed frames being one of the best TV manufacturers who has announced first about smartphones deprived of this flaw.

It will create a sensation for sure, considering that the laptop itself and the pre-installed Windows 8.1 explicitly tease Apple.
The variety of choice among the laptops is not big with such a diagonal size, therefore we can expect Alienware to bite off a huge piece of "apple" from the other side, as you know the Alien is a predatory beast.

Just keep the children away from the fury capable to rain down on the enemies. Moreover it has become lighter and slimmer giving it additional skills to perform all kinds of moves you want it to make.

Also there's a possibility to use additional Alienware Graphics booster, if you want to increase your FPS for gaming even higher. It awakes when the 4th Generation Intel Core i5 Processor acquires enough energy to launch, then the electric impulse rushes and ignites dual-link 1600 MHz RAM, whose memory capacity depends on the two options of your choice: 8GB and 16GB and lights up a customizable LED backlighting of keyboard together with the eyes of Alien logo meaning that the laptop is ready for action. But you won't frighten your enemies with the specifications only, so you have to add some efforts and mastery to overwhelm them once and for all.
And let's speak about the pricing. You can jump to the official site to examine every variant in detail, but prepare to see the first price tag at $999 and then all the others with only increasing amount: $1099, $1399 and $1599 respectively. This progression shows us that that the bigger price is the more aggressive build is chosen.
