Will the Apple iSlate rule?
There is no doubt that there is a market out there for new tablet especially if it comes from Apple as they are likely to have a readymade market to use. If the Apple iSlate is as good as we are expecting then this device is likely to take the market by storm and make the other computer maker think harder as to which direction they will be taking their products in. This would be great for the consumer as they will have the choice of Apple or possibly choose a similar product made by another firm.

There was time when the launch of a new Alienware laptop would have gamers and fans scrambling over each just to catch a glimpse of it, but things seem to have gone rather sterile since the brand became part of Dell. Even this new machine, launched in Japan has not really got the crown going, sure it is a Alienware machine with seventeen inch screen and running the very latest Intel Core i7 processor, if and when we get to this baby close up, the price tag is going to say something like $2,000! Features: A 17 inch 1440 x 900 widescreen TFT LCD display, a 1.60GHz Intel Core i7-720QM CPU, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4870 1GB GPU, a 4GB DDR3 SDRAM, a 500GB HDD, a DVD burner and Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS This Alienware M17x is priced at about $1,997 Source [Tech Fresh] Post from: Laptop Pimp Blog – Laptop Reviews for Laptop Whores Has Alienware lost its appeal? 1 – Featured Laptops , Alienware Laptops , dell launch new alienware , the alienware m17x Related posts No related posts.

The first that you are going to notice about this netbook is the colouring, as it comes in eco friendly colours as if you need to be reminded that you have just bought a green machine. Apart from that the netbook is almost identical the Sony Vaio W ten inch netbook, but what you cannot see is the fact that this netbooks case has been made from at least twenty per cent recycled materials and it is ready for buyers to pre order on Amazon.

Computers and laptops are notorious for collecting dust, anyone who has taken off the cover of a laptop or base unit will be shocked at what they find, in a lot of cases it is a wonder how the computer kept running with all of the extra filling inside. The easiest way to keep the inside of a computer dust free is with clean air and this is where the Ninja comes in handy. It offers a pressurized air duster to force those little invaders right out of every hidden space.

With this fully mobile device and a laptop the user would be able to monitor their home or business from anywhere in the world, after all there must nothing like witnessing your home being robbed when you are a few thousand miles away!

It seems that all not well within the computer industry and the founder of Acer, Stan Shih has been telling it how it is, or rather how he sees it anyway. We know that many large businesses have been suffering for a long time and more recently the pressure has been on. According to Stan Shih there some major computer brands that we all know of that will not make it, he is not talking this year or next, but over the next twenty years the top brands in the US will be a lot different to what we see now

For those of you who have been for the next big ASUS 13.3″ Ultra Thin and Light laptop, look no further as we have just spotted the UL30Jt at CES 2010, featuring an Intel Core i7 CPU and 1GB Nvidia GeForce 310M graphics card, this is certainly a whopping improvement over its predecessor, the UL30Vt-X1, which I am actually using to blog this post from CES. The ASUS rep said this isn’t the final but a similar laptop should be available in 4-8 weeks

With everything getting smaller these days, it’s only natural that flash drives get smaller too, although they are limited to how small they actually can go because of the components etc. This is the Pico USB flash drive; this is only 4 mm thick but offers the user the opportunity to have 8, 16 or 32 Gb’s but still manages to be the size of your thumb nail.

This is Lenovo’s first venture into a very exciting market, the smartbook market, yes we need a category! But just to recap, a smartbook is a device that combines specs of a smartphone with that of a netbook. So this is the Lenovo Skylight, it is an ARM powered device, which makes it a smartphone, but it is comes in clam style casing and has features that you would expect to find in a netbook. It is an interesting concept, but will it catch on
There is a big market in retro style gadgets and equipment, the reason for this is not completely known but although it could have something to do with the style and class of the good old days. This USB microphone looks just the one that broadcasters used during the 1930’s expect the quality of the sound recording is so much better than some of the microphones on the market today, but one of the main selling points is just having this on your desk, it looks so cool.

These are an extension to the already huge range of smaller computers being released by HP, they offer the consumer a deal of choice with specs and of course price as this also matters to the consumer these days. You have the HP Mini 2101 and the 210, they have the popular rubberised covering on the lid which is easy grip etc and a chicklet style keyboard. Prices appear to start at around $329 which is a nice price.
