With Calligrapher Prestige Dual Function Stylus (phew!) IChic Gear takes a very different bias: instead of putting a pen in a pen, the Swiss company has a stylus pen. His appearance could not be more traditional, with a form to promote a good grip.
It is a fountain pen rather heavy: light pens fans, go your way. iChic Gear has chosen not to use Parker cartridges, cartridges fine focusing. The autonomy is likely to be limited, but additional cartridges are provided: what pen before losing to overcome refills. Writing is after all quite nice considering the price.
The stylus pen Virtuoso Touch Kensington is very classic: a metal tube that is half a centimeter in diameter, with a slightly grainy matte finish available in black or gray, light enough not to weigh heavy enough to we feel it. Nothing to say so on the quality and strength.
Behind her is a pen cap, and is compatible with Parker cartridges. This is fortunate, however: the cartridge is provided by default in a miserable quality. Be careful though: some cartridges "compatible Parker", slightly shorter or slightly longer, does not necessarily in the pen (this is for example the case of Fisher Space Pen cartridge).
Apple
is not at all in the camp of supporters of the pen: it is precisely the
denial of this piece of plastic is easier to lose than to use that
allowed the creation of the iPhone and iPad. The pen, however, remains relevant for writing quick notes, annotating documents, drawing. Many Stylus capacitive screens are also pens, they work equally well on a screen ... on paper. Practice? Useful? The response in our test!

In recent days, the great wave of Ultrabook. Acer, Lenovo or Toshiba have recently introduced models that inspired quite frankly the MacBook Air. If the ultraportable Apple will have competition in the coming weeks, manufacturers embark on this segment timidly. According to DigiTimes, no more than 50 000 models were produced to deal with the initial application. It must be said that the market for personal computing is at half mast. In addition, some manufacturers may have learned the lesson of the iPad. Many had produced large quantities of tablets and currently have the greatest difficulty in selling them.
Most of these models will arrive on the market next month. Intel, which firmly believes in the concept, planning a conference on the subject on Sept. 14. The
semiconductor giant has well resolve the various problems relating to
technological Ultrabook and hopes to quickly find new partners. Intel's
goal is ambitious, but for now seems out of reach: ensure that by the
end of 2012, the share of Ultrabook represents 40% of mobile phone sales
to the general public. Intel is also disavowed by one of its partners, Asustek, which estimates that this target will be missed. On
the other hand, Asian society already promised that the next generation
of Ultrabook expected in April 2012 will be sold cheaper. These models will feature architecture Ivy Bridge. Anyway, it's a funny way to advertise the current generation.
