| LG G Pad 8.3 priced for UK launch, full HD and quad-core for £259 Posted:  LG has slapped a price-tag on its recently-unveiled LG G Pad 8.3 tablet, but is yet to inform UK buyers exactly when they'll be able to get their hands on the device. Those hoping to pick up the device will have to fork out £259.99, with the Korean manufacturer only committing to a pre-Christmas roll-out in UK and Ireland. The device, announced at the IFA tech show in Berlin last month, is the first full HD device with a screen 8-inches or larger (1920 x 1080p) and packs a 1.6GHz Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor. There's a large 4600mAh battery, yet the device still weighs in 338g. Three way 8-inch battleRather than battle the 7-inch Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire tablets, LG's offering will have devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and the Apple iPad mini (and impending sequel) in its sights. In terms of price, the 16GB LG slate is cheaper than the Note 8.0 (£299) while its also £10 cheaper than the current-gen iPad mini (£269) Will the cheaper price point be enough for LG to battle the big two on its return to the UK tablet arena?

| New Mac Pro release set for Nov. 17, new MacBook Pro models next week? Posted:  Apple will waste little time getting new MacBook Pros into the hands of eager consumers if, as expected, it revamps the high-end laptop range next week. That's according to reports out today saying the company is likely to reveal new versions of its 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display machines at its October 22 event.

There's nothing concrete in the report, or leaked store inventories or anything like that, but the site does claim to have received the information from the same source that tipped it off about a recent iPod revamp. Make of that what you will. Mac Pro D-DayHowever, that's not all MacG's report has in store. It also claimed to know the release date for the eagerly-anticipated Mac Pro desktop tower, which boasts an intriguing cylindrical design and a wealth of power. So far, Apple has only committed to a "fall 2013" release window, but the French site has pinpointed November 17 as D-Day. Additionally the site is touting the expected iPad mini 2 and iPad 5 release date as October 31.
