LG ultrabook wraps 13-inch screen in thin bezel
Add one more ultrabook to the pile. LG's Korean site has revealed details on its X Note Z330, whose 15-mm thickness qualifies it for entry into Intel's exclusive club of supermodel-thin notebooks.

IHS: Amazon to ship 3.9M Kindle Fire tablets this quarter
When Amazon said the Kindle Fire was "the bestselling product across all of Amazon" a week ago, it didn't quote any numbers to support that claim. Luckily, that hasn't stopped the folks at IHS from compiling some data of their own, which suggests that Amazon will have shipped a whopping 3.9 million of the tablets by year's end.
