Sleek, simple and utilitarian. That’s what this conceptual Macbook Pro cooler embodies. Hidden beneath the Apple logo is a fan and heatsink, which sucks out the heat. I’m not sure how you’d connect the extra USB and Firewire, but who cares, this thing is bad ass!

The specs for the Vaio TT were leaked yesterday and today Sony has confirmed the world’s lightest Blu-ray 11-inch Notebook. The TT line will be available sometime this fall.
Hit yesterday’s post to get the breakdown.
Official press release and pics after the ‘leap’
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 23, 2008— Sony today took the wraps off the world’s lightest computer with Blu-ray Disc™ technology— the VAIO® TT Series notebook.
Housed in a lightweight carbon-fiber chassis, this new model weighs just 2.87 pounds and is less than 1-inch thin.
“This engineering marvel packs the power of HD technology into an ultra-light, ultra-portable notebook,” said Mike Abary, senior vice president of VAIO product marketing at Sony Electronics.Select models play Blu-ray Disc movies in full HD 1080p resolution when connected to a compatible HDTV. These units can also record, store and play back personal content on high-capacity BD media.
It features an 11.1-inch widescreen display (measured diagonally) with Sony’s XBRITE-DuraView™ LCD technology, delivering 100 percent color saturation for a wide range of vibrant colors and true-to-life picture quality. This technology also produces a brighter screen thanks to an energy-efficient white LED backlight so you can view photos in crystal-clear resolution.
The display is ideal for Blu-ray Disc movies. Since many HD films are shot using a 16:9 aspect ratio, the unit’s extra-wide LCD is constructed with the same dimensions. This minimizes the black bars that typically appear, letting you view movies in their intended format.
For those who prefer to watch content on a big screen television, the TT model also has an HDMI™ output connector so you can connect it to a compatible high-definition TV for a larger viewing experience (connector cable sold separately).
It is equipped with Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology for powerful PC output and energy-conserving features that deliver long battery life.Select VAIO TT notebooks feature a dual channel 256GB (128GB X 2) solid state drive (SSD) with RAID technology. The result is quicker boot-up times, faster application launches and overall enhanced performance.
The PC integrates wireless Wide Area Network (WAN) technology provided by the Sprint® Mobile Broadband Network and its latest mobile network technology, EV-DO Revision A. For this, a separate Sprint service subscription is required.
The notebook comes with the choice of Windows Vista® Home Premium, Vista Business and Vista Ultimate operating systems. Windows® XP Professional is also available on select models.All models are ENERGY STAR® 4.0 compliant, hold an EPEAT Silver ranking and incorporates such eco-conscious features as a mercury-free LED backlit LCD.
The TT model starts at $2,000. The BD version will go for about $2,700, while the SSD model (128GB) for around $2,750. It is available in a premium carbon black, silk black, champagne gold and crimson red.

Samsung have today announced the release of their Toshiba beater, the NC10. You may remember the Raon Everun being shipped the other day. Well if you were impressed by those specs then these will send you to notebook heaven. Carrying a maximum of 160GB of storage, 1.3 megapixel camera, WiFi and Bluetooth. The screen is 10.2-inch SuperBright Non-Gloss LED which allows for easy viewing outdoors, ‘Protect-o-Edge’ casing so when it crashes you can throw it out the window. They even include an antibacterial keyboard that uses ‘incredibly small, nano-sized silver ion powder’ to kill every germ imaginable!
Released in October to Europe the price is still unknown.

Asus added 4 new computers to their line up today and the feature set ranges from practical to just straight up odd. Hit the leap to get a spec breakdown, but you should know a few of the big takeaways: facial recognition login (look ma, no hands), 8 second startup (aka Express Gate) for commonly used apps, a Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) that allocates battery life preserving energy use by as much as 35%, and a built-in Air Ionizer (huh). Not all features are available on all models, and the screen sizes for the lappies range from 10 to 15-inches.

Raon announced their mini-notebook earlier this month, the Everun Note carrying 1024×600 7″ touchscreen display and a 1920×1200 resolution. The tech specs show off just how much technology we can fit these days into such small spaces featuring an AMD Turon 64×2 Dual Core 1.2GHz processor, 2.5 hours of battery life, 1.3 megapixel camera, 1GB of memory and 60GB of storage. On top of all that Bluetooth and WiFi are included and all of that weighs 1.63 lb and can fit in your hand bag. Now that is tecnology.
Priced at $849 the Everun Note is available now.

Samsung today announced their new R610 Blu-ray laptop aimed at making a dent in the multi-media market. Sporting a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels it supports full HD and with a 16:9 aspect ratio it makes viewing those HD movies even more enjoyable. The machine itself has an array of specs including a 1.3 megapixel web camera, 4GB of RAM, 320GB hard drive, WiFi and Bluetooth. However, if you’re a gamer this definatly isn’t the laptop for you, carrying an entry-level nVidia GeForce 9200M GS graphics card you’d only want to be playing pacman and tetris on this machine.
The R610 seems to be a fairly good all rounder and we can expect a realease in October with a price of £799.

Dell finally set a launch date for the Latitude E4200 and E4300 laptops, which we originally announced 8/13. Expect them September 16th. Course, Dell transposed the intro copy from the E4300’s page to the E4200’s, so who knows what’s accurate. But since their specs are similar, excluding screen size and a few other things, it’s probably safe to say they’ll go public together.
Hit this Dell page for a complete breakout of specs and to clock a chick grasping one with her ‘cold dead arms’ - at least that’s what she looks like she thinking if you were to try steal it.

‘Another one Sony?!’ I hear you say, well yes, Sony today announced yet another notebook in a long line of releases, but this one is different. It contains a Blu-Ray player and other features commonly seen in the more expensive high-end products, and still manages to keep a price tag of only $1000. With a 15.4-inch screen and new Intel 4500 graphics it comes in blue, grey and silver and will ship this fall. A base system is also available for $650 with 3GB of memory instead of the Blu-Ray’s required 4GB of memory.
