Lenovo - Dual Screen Notebook



This one won't win an award fro being the prettiest, but it definitely wins one for being the geekiest looking in our books.

Behold the Lenovo Thinkpad W700ds - jam packed with your choice of Intel Core 2 Quad processors,a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M GPU, up to 8GB of RAM and up to 960GB of SDD / HDD storage.

"The primary 17-inch screen is supposedly the brightest on the market, and if there wasn't already enough to make you drool, it packs an integrated WACOM digitizer as well. However, this 11 pound package starts at $3,600, so you'd better be ready to break out the piggy bank come January when this beast is set to ship."

We aren't all hard up for this one though. It looks a little too overkill in our tastes.

Mini Dell


Dell today officially unveiled the Inspiron Mini 9.
This small, easy-to-carry device stands ready to connect teens, tweens, travelers and “Tweeters” to their online world be it surfing the Web, chatting with friends, blogging, streaming content, uploading photos or enjoying favorite online videos, music and games.
The Inspiron Mini is an affordable Internet companion that can be fine-tuned to fit users’ specific needs and deeds. It is currently not available yet at the Dell Malaysia Store, but we do believe it will appear on the site sometime soon.

With a starting weight of 2.28 lbs (approx 1kg), digital nomads will value the Inspiron Mini’s durable design, with sealed keyboard and reliable solid state drive (SSD) memory storage.
A bright 8.9 inch glossy LED display (1024x600) presents most web pages with no left-right scrolling, and the keypads are large and easy to navigate. Standard built-in Wi-Fi means quick and easy wireless internet access to hotspots in the home, on campus, in a local coffee shop, in the office or at a conference.

Sony Ericsson Bluetooth watches

Convenient, good looking and distinctive, the Bluetooth™ MBW-200 range of Bluetooth™ watches is an expansion of the highly successful Bluetooth™ MBW-150 range. With three different sophisticated designs to match your personality, be the first among your friends to control your phone with your watch.

Missed an important call or SMS because you couldn’t hear or find your phone at the bottom of your handbag? With the MBW-200 this is now a thing of the past. Using innovative Bluetooth™ technology, the watch displays the caller ID and vibrates as your phone is ringing or when you receive an SMS. Reject or mute the call with a button on the watch or use the Bluetooth™ headset or mobile phone to answer the call and start chatting.
“The MBW-200 series is the next step in the development of Bluetooth™ wireless technology.” said Karmen Mandic, Product Business Manager, at Sony Ericsson. “Now women can buy a Bluetooth™ watch that gives them both wireless functionality and an opportunity to express their personal taste. We’re all looking for products that make our lives more convenient. With a glance at your watch you can see who is calling, what the time is and with a push of a button you can change your music or use it as a music remote control when your phone is on the other side of the room– all in one stylish device.”

Moto Aura


Back in 2002 (or as some may argue, late 2001), Motorola wowed us with the V70. Stylishly slick, it's swivel form factor came as a breath of fresh air to a market that was flooded with chunky candy bars and noisy clam shells that clicked louder than they rang. The top layer of the metalic phone swiveled around the display screen to unveil a *gasp* blue backlit keypad, and functioned as the earpiece.

Today, some six years later, Motorola is again wowing us with another phone. Based on the same swivel concept as the V70, the AURA is more than a mere upgrade of it's "predecessor". For starters, there's probably more technology involved in the 16,000,000 (16 million) color 300 dpi display than there was in the entire V70. Naturally, such a high-tech creation deserves nothing but the best protection, and that's exactly what the Grade 1 62-carat sapphire crystal lens is.
A smooth swivel motion is ensured by the use of a Swiss-made main bearing, which works hand-in-hand with a custom-engineered rotating mechanism that consists of nothing less than 130 more ball bearings. To round things off, the housing is coated with PVD, the same stuff they use to coat luxury watches.
The Motorola AURA will be available in the USA for a cool US$2,000, so you had better start saving up now!
