Joybook Lite U101 from BenQ

-
BenQ decided to launch its own Atom-powered netbook this weekend during the IT Month in Taiwan and it's called the Joybook Lite U101. At first glance the Joybook Lite U101 might not seem that different to every other model already out there, but BenQ is the first to offer a 16:9 display on a netbook.
The rest of the specs are fairly standard for netbooks these days, an Atom N270 CPU, Intel 945GSE chipset, 1GB of DDR2 memory (512MB for Linux versions), a range of hard drive options including 80-160GB mechanical drives, as well as 4-16GB SSD options.
Other features include built-in 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, 10/100Mbit Ethernet, a 1.3Megapixel Webcam, a 4-in-1 memory card reader, a D-sub connector, three USB 2.0 ports and a headphone and mic jack. The Joybook Lite U101 weighs in at 1.1kg and measures 258x189x32mm (WxHxD)
For price €398 (US$503/£331) you get a model with 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and Windows XP Home, as well as a 3-cell battery that BenQ claims will give you 4H of battery life. An extended 6-cell battery will also be available as a cost option. Speaking of options, a model with HSDPA/HSUPA 3G connectivity will also be available at a later stage. (via Fudzilla)

Panasonic Toughbook 40 Best Rugged Laptop

PC Mag Dustproof and immune to splashes and strong jets of water Panasonic Toughbook 40 Best Rugged Laptop - The Panasonic Toughbook 40 is an almost indestructible, ultra-customizable 14-inch armored data carrier. It's fully rugged, which puts it in a class above semi-rugged systems like its 14-inch peers the Dell Latitude 5430 Rugged and Panasonic's own Toughbook 55 Mk2. The Toughbook 40 can take a six-foot fall and carries MIL-STD 810H, MIL-STD 461G, and IP66 ratings—it's dustproof and immune to splashes and strong jets of water, though it can't survive actual immersion underwater as some smartphones can. Heavy and expensive All of the ruggedization makes the Toughbook 40 heavy and expensive, of course. Expect to pay north of $4,000 for this 7-pound brute if you're buying a single laptop. But nearly everyone who buys the Toughbook 40 isn't just buying one. They're buying a fleet for a police force, line technicians, or other similar organizations, which ty...

Alienware m16 R2, Gaming Laptop with a Sleeker Design & Affordable Price

  Alienware m16 R2 Photo: PCMag The Alienware m16 R2 is a rarity among modern laptops. That’s because normally after a major revamp, gadget makers like to keep new models on the market for as long as possible to minimize manufacturing costs. However, after its predecessor launched last year sporting a fresh design, the company reengineered the entire system again for 2024 while also limiting how big of a GPU can fit inside. Alienware was able to rework the m16 into a gaming laptop with a sleeker design, it’s more compact, has longer battery life and a more affordable starting price than before. The m16 R2 has a single display option: a 16-inch 240Hz panel with a QHD+ resolution (2,560 x 1,600). It’s totally serviceable and for competitive gamers, that high refresh rate could be valuable during matches where potential advantage matters.

Cocoon Collection's Laptop Bags

-
Image
Now here’s something interesting in the computer bags/cases department. A company called “Cocoon Innovations” will be introducing a new lineup of bags next week at CES 2009 called the “Cocoon” Collection. The collection will feature a complete lineup of laptop computer bags, totes, portfolios, and accessories for the digital lifestyle. What makes the bags unique is a propriety feature on the interior of each bag called the “The Grid”. The Grid is a proprietary “universal, elastic organization system” for “customized digital device storage.”. I’m guessing it’s some sort of stretchable durable plastic that molds to the device – but it’s simply a guess. [ www.krunker.com ] VISIT THE SITE...
