Hi Tech Gadget

Dell just recently launched three different models of laptops. The selling prices of 13.3″-monitor 1310 and 15.4″-monitor 1510 are USD $749 and $599 respectively; while the big-screened 1710 has not been tagged with price yet. These three models have been adopted with a super slim design which helps in losing the weights.

The first time for Samsung to release Aura series laptop is in last year. Although this production line is still relatively new, its reputation is quite high. This time, the newly launched laptop model, R410, implemented 14.1″ monitor, Intel 45nm Penryn CPU、ATI Radeon Xpress 1250M display chips、DVD recorder combo、130mega pixel camera、built-in WiFi and bluetooth technology, and also the ExpressCard port.

You may guess this gadget is light in weight. Yes, it is. It’s only 2.5kg, and will first launched in Europe. The price is set to be £499 only.

Fujitsu is always well-know for its laptops, and is so popular to the teenagers nowadays. Now, Fujitsu, in order to catch with the hot trend of “natural beauty” and “environmental-friendly”, have manufactured a new wooden case laptop, converted from its FMV series.

However, Fujitsu is now the first one to made wooden-cased laptop. In fact, ASUS has already manufactured a similar one not long ago. Although it is only a conceptual products and will not involved in mass production, this kind of “green” products should always be promoted and recommended. I sincerely hope that the laptops in the future can be more bio-degradable, and this is the real way to become “environmental-friendly”.

Us-based company, Everex, in order to compete with ASUS, decides to launch a so-called “Enhanced Mini Notebook” - Cloudbook MAX. Apart from changing to 9″ WVGA（1024×600）screen, Cloudbook also implemented bluetooth, GPS receiver, 2 Mega-pixel Webcam, 802.11b/g WiFi、80GB HDD、2GB DDR RAM and S-video etc. Sounds enchanced, right?

Cloudboook also includes 1.6GHz VIA C7-M’s CPU，together with VX800 IGP chips set，maybe there is WiMax too. However, the price hasn’t been disclosed yet, but I don’t think it gonna be cheap in any way.

Desktop version of EeePC is one forms of the EeeDT plan from ASUS. But is it really look the same as the picture above? To me, this EeePC picture is more or less like a PS3. Nonetheless, ASUS still haven’t released any new pictures at the moment. Anyway, it is a focus product in 2008, and its relative information must be released in the near future (after computex?).

Did you ever your notebook is crammed with data, pictures and videos? Does it only take you days to fill up the 64GB of your notebook? What will you think if you can get 128GB harddisk from Toshiba’s Dynabook SS RX1? Within Dynabook, it has a SSD of 128GB, KDDI CDMA wireless LAN, 1.2GHz C2D U7600 CPU, 2GB SD RAM and 1,280 x 800 pixels of 12.1″ monitor.

So, what’s the price of it? With such cool configuration, you need to pay USD$4,112.65 to take it back to your home. However, even if you are willing to pay, you still need to wait until next month. Be patient.

It can be treated as the war for the low-priced notebook, after the provoke from ASUS EeePC. In fact, in addition to EeePC, there are many other low-priced Notebook models comes into play. This includes ONE, Cloudbook and G10IL. This time, Northtech announced another Notebook model whose selling price tends to be smaller than USD$300. The name for this Notebook is known as “Gecko”, and same as EeePC, it uses a CORE called “Linpus Linux Lite”. Another configurations of Gecko includes:

• 1. Processor: 1GHz Via C7M ULV
• 2. PATA harddisk
• 3. Internal display card
• 4. 7″ Monitor
