We’ve spent a lot of electronic ink telling you to . The C1760nw's two-line LCD display and control buttons are minimal, but effective. The menu structure is nicely laid out, making options easy to find. A blue light directly above the controls indicates the status of Wi-Fi connections. You can also manage the printer via Wi-Fi or Ethernet using the unit's HTML configuration interface. In addition to the PC and Mac drivers, the C1760nw offers remote-printing features, including printing from mobile devices and via email. As with most low-cost color lasers, paper-handling features on the C1760nw are sparse. The front face folds down to create a 150-sheet, open-faced input tray on the bottom of the unit. A 10-page, removable bypass tray sits directly on top of it. The bypass tray allows you to print envelopes and other one-offs without unloading and reloading that main tray, as required with the single-tray . The output bin integrated into the top of the unit holds 100 sheets. The C1760nw lacks automatic two-side printing (duplexing), however, onscreen prompts walk you through the manual process. You can easily reach most of the paper path for clearing paper jams by folding down the panel on the back of the unit, and the toner cartridges are accessed via a panel on the right side of the unit. Though cheaper than the C1660w's, the C1760nw's toner is still no bargain. The 3.5 cents you'll pay per black page is around the average for entry-level inkjets, but the additional 5 cents for each additional color is high. Black toner is sold in $70, 2000-page units and the 1400-page cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges cost $70 each as well. Those are the high-capacity supplies. Dell also sells the 700-page cartridges the C1760nw ships with, but unless you want to pay over 7 cents per page (cpp) for black pages and over 8 cents per color, we recommend against them.

March was another ho-hum month on the usage front for laptops and tablets running Windows 8 and RT, according to AdDuplex, a cross-platform network for Windows Phone and Windows 8 app developers. Few new releases appeared during the period to affect usage patterns, . The one new release that did appear—the HP Envy m6 laptop—immediately broke into the month's top 10 usage rankings. Microsoft's premium tablet, the Surface Pro, showed some usage gains during the month, but it's still deep in the rankings compared to other Windows 8 devices and its RT slate sibling. Surface Pro jumped to 25 in the table, up from 52 place in March. Still, it only has 0.5 percent of the usage pie.
is receiving a refresh of its own, though the alterations are subtle tweaks rather than a substantial overhaul. slight that you might not even notice them if they weren't pointed out. A new in-app volume indicator allows you to fiddle with the music volume independently of the overall system volume, and a tweak to the Now Playing screen now shows a list of songs queued to play after the current track. Buried deep in the Preferences tab of the Settings charm, the update also includes a new option that allows the Music app to scan your local music collection. It then compares those file signatures against its cloud-based music library, and any song matches it finds are then made available for streaming to any Music-supporting device. .
Nvidia today fired the next salvo in the GPU arms race: The GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. Nvidia and arch-rival AMD have decided that 30 frames per second at 1080p resolution is the gaming sweet spot, and so the GPU designers have set about beating each other over the head to build the best chips for delivering that performance at a $150 price point. While both companies happily oblige gamers craving higher performance-those with the financial means to satiate their hunger, that is-it's the mainstream products that generate the most cabbage. And they're certainly justified in designating 1080p a "mainstream resolution," since that's the spec most consumer-oriented 23- and 24-inch displays deliver. To that end, Nvidia is looking to chop the legs out from under AMD, which announced its own "1080p sweet spot" offering- -just last week. AMD set a price target of $150 for Radeon HD 7790 cards in order to compete with boards based on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 650 Ti, which until then had been the sole occupants of that price bracket. AMD maintains that its 7790 is on average 20 percent faster than Nvidia's original 650 Ti. But Nvidia announced that existing GeForce GTX 650 Ti cards with 1GB of memory will now sell for just $129. The new and faster GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost-which Nvidia claims is on average 40 percent faster than the original 650 Ti, and 10- to 20-percent faster than AMD's pricier Radeon HD 7850-will sell for $149. But there's a slight catch: The 1GB 650 Ti Boost cards won't begin shipping until early April. The models Nvidia says consumers can buy today come with 2GB of memory and cost $169.
