Custom Laptop Designs

Former Alienware product development engineer Oscar Zapata launched a new company this week, called NVousPC (very clever!) that customizes laptops with any color paint or image you want. You can choose different colors for each part of the laptop, including bottom, and upload images to their website to be printed on. If you don't buy a new computer from them (starting at $999), you can send in your old piece for a paintjob as well (starting at $186). Or you can just send it to me along with $8 and I'll hook you up with some sweet holographic unicorn stickers, maybe a few garbage pail kids, and top it off with some scratch and sniffs for good measure.

Review Asus Lamborghini VX1 laptop

It seems that having a laptop stamped with an Italian sports car brand is the in-thing these days. Acer has been hanging around the pit-lane with Ferrari, and Asus has teamed up with Lamborghini to create the VX1. It comes in a choice of black or yellow trim - Lamborghini's corporate colors - although there's more to the VX1 than a cool paint job...Acer's other team loyalty is AMD, so it's perhaps no surprise Asus has gone with Intel. The VX1 is a Centrino laptop. My review model came with a Core Duo T2500 processor clocked at 2GHz, although models with a Core 2 Duo processor will be available soon, Asus tells me. The chipset is the Intel 945PM, so there's no integrated graphics. Asus has gone for the Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 VX with 512MB of Turbo Cache, which is a souped up version of the GeForce Go 7400 but still far from a suitable solution for gaming on the move. This is rather disappointing considering the Lamborghini badge, and one would think that Asus would've fitted a more powerful graphics chip into the VX1.The review model also came with 2GB of DDR 2 memory - which is more in line with what you would expect from a top of the range laptop - and a 160GB IDE hard drive. It's disappointing (again) that Asus hasn't gone for SATA here - the machine's chipset supports it - as this is quickly becoming the norm on new notebooks. The optical drive is a super-multi DVD writer which handles all the common formats and DVD-RAM. It's not the fastest drive out there and it's not, alas, a slot-load unit.The optical drive is mounted on the left-hand side of the chassis alongside an ExpressCard 54 bay, a four-pin FireWire connector, an infra-red receiver and a standard VGA connector. There's no DVI or HDMI connector, which again is a shame on a machine so clearly targeting the performance end of the notebook market.The right-hand side is home to four USB 2.0 ports spread out along the length of the laptop; a multi-format memory card reader that accepts SD, MMC and various Memory Stick formats; a headphone and microphone socket, with optical S/PDIF output inside the latter; and finally a 56Kbps modem and a Gigabit Ethernet connector.
The VX1 ships with a carbon fibre-look laptop bag as well as a Lamborghini branded zip-up carrying pouch. This is a nice bonus, but again doesn't make up for the shortcomings.

Thinnest Laptop – Apple MacBook Air

One of my co-worker is looking for a “small and thin” laptop and I think her search is over. Apple MacBook Air was announced at Mac World this week. Check out the dimensions first: 12.8" wide, 8.94" deep, and 0.16" to 0.76" thin and weight: 3.0 lbs (1.36 kg).

The entire laptop is only 0.76” thick! That is the base + lcd for less than 2 centimeters! This makes this laptop to be the thinnest laptop in the world today. But the immediate trade off is that there is no CD/DVD drive attached and only one USB port. However, the MacBook Air seems to have a new generation of wireless solutions: 802.11n2 and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR wireless technologies. Remote Disc option allows you to easily access other Mac computers’ DVD drive.

To me, the real eye catching component is the multi-touch trackpad, yeah, just like the iPhones…
Another thing worth to mention about the “thinnest laptop” is the 13.3”” widescreen LED supports resolutions up to 1280 x 800. This means you gonna get crystal clear images and good coloring from it.
What’s need to be noticed is the CPU power is not so great considering you can only upgrade it from 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz, and the price nearly doubled (originally at $1799, now $3,098). But you also get an extra of 2GB RAM memory though.
Here are the full specs of the default model: $179913.3" Widescreen LED Backlit (1280 x 800)Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6GHz and 1.5GHz (4MB L2 cache, 800MHz frontside bus)1.8" 80GB HD (same type in iPod) or 64GB SSD optionMulti-touch trackpad2GB RAM (667MHz DDR2 SDRAM)Intel X3100 graphicsMagnetic latch1 USB 2.0 port, Micro-DVI, Audio out (analog)802.11n wirelessBluetooth 2.1 + EDRiSight camera built-in37 watt-hour lithium-polymer batteryNo optical drive built-in, but SuperDrive accessory available for $99

HP offers money for old tech equipment

Hewlett-Packard has decided to offer people in the United States money in exchange for their old tech equipment, the company announced Tuesday.
The PC maker has had a recycling program for years that lets consumers determine the value of their old tech equipment, then receive a credit for that value toward a new HP or Compaq brand product.
This new recycling program does not require people to buy anything to realize a monetary gain from giving HP their old tech equipment, though they are responsible for postage when mailing in the item. The shipping costs associated with a "Premium Service," in which FedEx picks up the old electronics, are taken out of HP's check to the consumer.

HP calls its new program the HP Consumer Buyback and Planet Partners Recycling Program. The program offers money in exchange for any brand of PC, monitor, printer, digital camera, or smartphone that HP determines still has some sort of value. It's part of HP's effort to recycle 2 billion pounds of electronic junk by 2010. As of now, the company has recycled more than 1 billion pounds of e-waste.
It's like Antiques Roadshow for techies, only you don't have to go to the fair to find out what your attic junk is worth.
HP has a quote Web site for the buyback program that lets consumers input the specs of their old tech equipment and receive a free instant quote.
In testing out the system, I discovered that HP offers examples from a drop-down menu, but will also accept items that have been modified, and it offers a place to put in the modified configuration and evaluate it. For example, I found that an old Dell Inspiron notebook with a 20GB hard drive, 256 MB of RAM, a Pentium III M 1.0GHz processor, and loaded with Windows XP Professional is worth about $60.
If your tech junk is determined by the online tool to have no value, you're out of luck for financial gain, but if it's an HP or Compaq brand product, you can still opt to mail it to HP for recycling.
I took it one step further and tested out the value of the same old Dell laptop against HP's U.S. trade-in recycling program, which is another option for consumers. On trade-in, the same old Dell Inspiron gets me an $86 credit.
Given this economy, I'd say it's worth your time to look up the value of your electronic junk on HP's site and make that trip to the post office.

CES 2009: Everything connected and mobile

LAS VEGAS--The undeniable winner coming out of CES 2009 is Palm. The smartphone maker took a giant step toward a much-needed comeback by announcing the Pre and accompanying mobile operating system, WebOS.
The Pre announcement garnered a ton of pre-show buzz, and dominated news coverage on the opening day of the event. But the Pre wasn't the only thing noteworthy about this year's gadget extravaganza here. High-definition televisions got Internet access and lost their wires, Netbooks and notebooks became harder to tell apart, and wireless products came in some surprising packages.
As the show comes to a close Saturday, here's a look back at some of the most important themes that emerged

High-definition television makers are getting real CES is usually a competition among TV makers to see who can make the largest screen or thinnest set. While there was still an element of that here, the top-tier television manufacturers also competed another way: to find who could make the new HDTV most accessible to the mainstream consumer in a down economy.
Toshiba's Scott Ramirez put it best: Sure we could make a 150-inch TV. "But nobody buys those."

Dell's Mini 10 Netbook debuting on...QVC?

We've been waiting for a 10-inch version of the Dell Mini 9 Netbook (still one of the most popular product pages on all of CNET) for some time now, and after a sneak peek behind closed doors at CES, it's finally here. Sort of. Dell says:
The Mini 10 is scheduled to debut for advance orders (February 19) on QVC at 9 p.m. Eastern. A full Mini 10 overview is available at Dell.com, and the system will be available for purchase directly from Dell in the U.S. and other countries beginning February 26.
Yes, that's right--if you want to be among the first to preorder the Dell Mini 10 (which starts at $399), you'll have to tune in to QVC.
Here is a slide show showing off the system, and some of the available color options. Click through to read up on the relevant specs, direct from Dell.

Rumors surface of 11.6-inch Acer Aspire One

If you feel the 10.1-inch Aspire One AOD150 (pictured) is too stingy with screen estate, and the 12.1-inch Dell Inspiron Mini 12 just too darn big, you'll probably want to wait for this. Blog site macles suggests that an 11.6-inch version of the Acer Netbook, Acer Aspire One Pro 731, is in the works. If this is true, it means Netbooks will start invading another niche market currently populated by only the Vaio TT series.
This new model targets the prosumer and business user, which is similar to the positioning of the HP Mini 2140. Besides the high-resolution 1,366x768 display, the other noticeable improvement is the redesigned keyboard with flat keys much like those on the MacBook and Sony Vaio.
Unfortunately, the rumored model is said to be based on the current Atom Z530 processor with integrated Intel GMA500 video chipset. We were hoping for the next-gen Atom N280/Intel GN40 platform which is said to be able to handle 720p video.
Our only concern is that since this model targets the business crowd, we might see a premium placed on the 11.6-inch model. We'll know more once we get closer to the release date of the Acer Aspire One Pro.

Verizon ready to hawk Netbooks?

Verizon Wireless is poised to sell at least one Netbook in the next few months, according to reports in Bloomberg and TheStreet.com.
Both outlets cite unnamed sources, but Bloomberg's source, said to be someone close to the project at Verizon, says a partnership is being negotiated with more than one PC maker. No word on what the service contract for a Netbook from Verizon would entail.

Currently, Verizon doesn't sell a 3G-enabled Netbook, but chief rival AT&T does. AT&T sells Acer Netbooks for $99 with service through RadioShack, and also sells Dell Mini Inspirons through the wireless provider's Web site. Though Verizon isn't confirming the report, a move to sell Netbooks is widely seen as a way to keep up with its rival.
The report suggests Verizon is working with more than one PC vendor, and Dell seems like an obvious candidate as one of them, though a Dell representative did not have an immediate comment. Dell already has a relationship with Verizon parent company Vodafone, which has sold Dell Netbooks in Europe since September 2008.
So who could be the other Netbook maker? A similar rumor floated around the Web last week regarding HP hooking up with Verizon. HP had no comment, but provided a statement from Kevin Frost, HP's general manager of consumer notebooks: "It's natural for carriers the world over to be interested in HP's broad portfolio of thin and light minis. We are talking with carriers all over the world. We are talking with carriers all over the world."
Netbooks are the fastest-growing category of PCs in the last year. Starting from virtually zero in late 2007, 10 million Netbooks were shipped by the end of 2008, accounting for 7 percent of all portable PCs shipped.
The limited capability of Netbooks is also intended to be their appeal: they're basically good for getting online and doing light word processing. But their small size makes them easily transportable, and having the ability to access the Web easily and from anywhere only increases their value. Though the bundled Internet-service model has failed in the U.S. in the past, our reliance on the Web makes it seem like this model could fare better this time around.

Verizon confirms plans to sell Netbooks

Verizon Wireless has confirmed earlier reports that it's ready to enter the Netbook market. Spokeswoman Brenda Raney, who was quoted to a similar effect in an Internetnews.com story Friday, said Saturday that the plan is for the company to start selling 3G-enabled Netbooks by the end of the second quarter, or by June.
Unfortunately, Raney could offer little else in the way of details regarding pricing or potential PC partners. Crave's Erica Ogg suggested Dell would be an obvious partnering candidate. Dell already has a relationship with Verizon parent company Vodafone, which has sold Dell Netbooks in Europe since September 2008. However, a similar rumor floated around the Web last week regarding HP hooking up with Verizon.
Verizon's chief rival, AT&T, already sells Acer Netbooks for $99 with service through RadioShack, and also sells Dell Mini Inspirons through the wireless provider's Web site.

Paint problems continue to vex Dell

Just weeks after blaming paint issues for delays in shipping some models of the XPS m1330, Dell has acknowledged that the same problems have affected the much-hyped multihued Inspiron line as well. Apparently the fancy colors that are the centerpiece of Dell's marketing are the very colors causing delay; the black and white Inspirons are shipping more or less on schedule. As with the XPS m1330, Dell is characterizing the issue as a problem of scale--they're struggling to produce a consistently high-quality finish as they manufacture larger numbers of the machines. "We'll continue to work directly with suppliers to ultimately increase our production on color notebooks," writes Digital Media Manager Lionel Menchaca on the company's Direct2Dell blog. He went on to say that unexpected parts shortages also contributed to the delays. Notably absent from his post was any estimate of how long it will take to work through the order backlog.
Meanwhile, customers who've been waiting a month (or more) for their shiny new laptop have expressed every emotion from frustration to anger to resignation in comments on the Direct2Dell post. "I got a bonus from work in July, and was buying myself a pink laptop with that money," writes commenter Fay Nehring, "but now it looks like it could be a Christmas present to myself."

Dell XPS m1330

The flagship of Dell's new laptop line, the 13-inch XPS m1330 is the first Dell laptop we've seen where design clearly came first. It's among the thinnest and lightest 13-inch systems we've ever seen, but offers pretty much the same powerful CPU, graphics, and networking options as the larger 14- and 15-inch models, plus an LED backlit display. The XPS m1330 starts at $1,299. Check out our full Inspiron review.

Dell's inspiring new Inspirons

The new laptops Dell is announcing today have already been leaked, discussed extensively online, and even confirmed by Dell, but today's official launch event is still worth a mention.

Unveiled on a fashion-show-like runway at Macy's in Herald Square, the new laptops are basically upgraded versions of Dell's existing workhorse 1505 and 1705 models, now with Intel's new Centrino Duo platform, 802.11n support, and a fairly radical (for Dell) new design. Also new to the party is a 14-inch laptop (our new preferred size for mainstream users) known as the Inspiron 1420, and the hot-to-trot XPS m1330, an upscale, superthin 13-inch model. All are available to order starting today.
We'll have photos and video of the New York launch event later today, but for now, let's take a peek at the actual systems.
Dell Inspiron 1520/1521Replacing the popular E1505, the new 1520 adds Intel's Santa Rosa platform to the mix, with an Intel 965 chipset, up to a Core 2 Duo T7500 CPU, 802.11n support, and optional Blu-ray drives and EV-DO. The model uses AMD processors instead, and both come in your choice of colors, from Midnight Blue to Bubblegum Pink. The 1520 starts at $848, the 1521 at $749.
Dell Inspiron 1720/1721A sequel to the E1705, which we admired as a highly configurable desktop replacement, the new 1720 offers the same upgraded Intel Centrino Duo parts as the 1520, as well as the optional Blu-ray drive and EV-DO, plus a Nvidia GeForce Go 8600 graphics chip. Dual hard drives and resolutions up to 1920x1200 are also available. The differs in its (you guessed it) AMD CPUs, and the same rainbow of color options is available. The 1720 starts at $999, the 1721 at $899.
Dell Inspiron 1420Honestly, 15-inch laptops seem so bulky and dated now, it's not surprising that people are flocking to 14-inch models instead for mainstream, middle-of-the-road use. The new Inspiron has the same high-end CPUs and video card options as the 15-inch models, but in a smaller--and we think more attractive--package. The 1420 starts at $799.

Images: Dude, that's Dell's flamingo pink

From Apple's fruity iBooks to Gateway's Legally Blonde edition pink 450, colorful laptops are no longer novel.
However, the names Dell has given the eight colors of its new Inspiron line of notebooks--flamingo pink, sunshine yellow, spring green, alpine white, ruby red, jet black, midnight blue and espresso--are fresh and ripe.
Count on Crave for sneak peeks! Just click on the photo for more images of Dell's delicious new colors.

Toshiba adds a boatload of new laptops

With all the excitement over the new color (and the groovy 13-inch XPS m1330) last week, the guys over at Toshiba must have been kicking themselves. Instead of just giving their laptop lineup a new paintjob and some upgraded processors, they've got a whole stack of new and revamped systems, emphasizing the company's commitment to the HD DVD format (which may or may not be the best long-term plan, but that's another story).

We've always liked the Qosimo line of high-end media center laptops, and the new 15.4-inch Qosimo F45 is no exception. We primarily like these for their Harman Kardon stereo speakers with built-in subwoofer--this is one of the only 15-inch laptops we've seen with a subwoofer--and the handy AV control pads, which look like tiny iPod wheels planted right next to the keyboard. The new Qosimo avoids the rainbow of colors offered by Dell, instead opting for what the company calls a "striking piano-key white glossy finish."
One of the four available configurations, the $1,649 F45-AV412, has an HD DVD drive (although we're still not convinced 15-inch laptops need high-def drives), while the non-HD-DVD configs run from $1,299 to $1,349.
Meanwhile, the new Satellite U305 is a totally different beast. It's a 13.3-inch small business laptop, and while it isn't as flashy as other 13-inch laptops such as the Apple MacBook and Dell XPS m1330, it is available in both Santa Rosa versions (using Intel's latest Centrino Duo platform) and an exceedingly thrifty non-Santa-Rosa version, using older parts, but starting at just $899.

For laptop gamers (and there are a few of you still out there), Toshiba last week revealed the new Satellite X205, a 17-inch desktop replacement that is one of the first laptops with Nvidia's DirectX-10-compatible GeForce 8700M GT graphics processing unit. Of course, that doesn't come cheap, and the X205 (with a red flame lid design) starts at a whopping $1,999, with an HD DVD drive.

Introducing Dell's new Vostro line

It seems like a long time since Dell introduced a brand new line to its menu of laptops and desktops, instead of adding onto the current lineup of Inspiron, Latitude, and XPS systems (the long-lived Dimension line was finally retired in June).
Dell on Tuesday revealed an entirely new family of systems, called Vostro (Latin for "yours"), aimed at small businesses with 1-25 employees who need business-level systems that don't require full-time IT people to manage.
"For too long, entrepreneurs have been forced to fit either consumer or large corporate solutions into their unique environments," Dell Chairman and CEO Michael Dell said in a statement. In real-world terms, that means Vostro desktops and laptops won't include any of what Dell calls "trialware" (we call it "bloatware"), but will include simplified proprietary networking software and versions of the Dell PC Tune-Up and DataSafe Online programs found in the newest Inspiron systems. Vostro systems will also have a dedicated sales and support team, trained to work with small businesses.
Vostro systems available today include:
Notebooks: Vostro 1000 (AMD-based 15-inch for $449), Vostro 1400, 1500 and 1700 (14, 15, and 17-inch Core 2 Duo models, starting at $549 to $799)
Desktops: Vostro 200 mini-tower or slim-sized case, Intel-based, and starting at $319
Hardware-wise, these new systems don't differ much from the current Dell lineup (but Dell expects to introduce a high-end Vostro desktop in August), and the online support and backup services are apparently only free for the first year, but in principle, we like the idea of a line that falls somewhere between consumer systems and systems aimed at larger businesses, which are expected to have at least some basic IT infrastructure

Gateway joins color-laptop trend

Actually, we're declaring the color-laptop trend to be no longer a trend, but rather a standard feature. A few weeks ago, Dell, not exactly known for its cutting-edge designs, announced that it would offer a fleet of in a range of color choices. And now even Gateway has launched two new notebook lines--the 14.1-inch T series and the 15.4-inch M series--available in three colors.
Inside the red, blue, or gray exterior (subtly pattered with a series of dissolving spheres), you'll find a computer that's classic Gateway: plenty of configuration options ranging from inexpensive to moderately priced. Every new T series or M series laptop includes a Core 2 Duo processor (though not always the latest version of Centrino, an integrated Webcam, and snazzy media controls. Upgrade options include HDMI, fingerprint reader, 802.11n Wi-Fi; the M series also offers the option of a 1080p-capable display and discrete ATI graphics.
The best part is the price: the T-6815 and M-6816, available at retail stores after July 22, start at $899. But don't think Gateway cheaped out on components to hit that price point: we've had a gray Gateway T-6815 in our offices for a little while and have to say that we're pleased. At that price, it won't blow our benchmarks out of the water, but it did give us plenty of performance for basic computing tasks. And it just looks so much more expensive than it is. Read the full

HP has a whole lotta’ new laptops to launch, possibly at a press conference this Tuesday if Notebook Italia is on the money. The designations are a real mouthful, so brace yourself: in all, we could be looking at Pavilions numbered dv2600, d6600, dv9600, and tx1300, and new HP G7000 and HP G6000’s also coming in the form of Compaq Presario F700 and F500 models. There are a crazy amount of specs here, so it’s probably safe to say that there is a machine to suit your requirements. Screen sizes range from 12.1 inch with the tx1300 up to 17 inches with the dv9600, CPUs range from 1.6GHz Core Duos and 1.7GHz Athlons up to 2.2GHz Core 2 Duos.

The Fujitsu U810 is an example of an MS Windows-based mini laptop and is therefore PC compatible. It has a 5.6" LCD screen, 1GB ram with 40GB hard drive. For wireless connectivity, you get WiFi a/b/g and Bluetooth. The unit has a qwerty keyboard. Surveys reveal that web browsing, reading email with attachments, managing personal information (such as agendas), downloading pictures, and word processing make up most of our usage when we are on the move. The Fujitsu U810, and its peers, can accomplish all those tasks, and can also provide communication via Skype

What is it in a nutshell?

A mini laptop is a computer about half the size of a regular laptop. It has smaller screen, hard drive, memory, and usually slower CPU. Mini laptops and the MS Windows Mobile platform are not the same thing and should not be confused. Here, we discuss mini laptops that use the standard Windows platform (or, in some cases, the Linux platform). Although standard laptops are quite portable, your lifestyle or work style may demand something even more mobile. Mini laptops weigh about 1.5 lb, and they fit in most handbags, or even large pockets. They are able to meet most of your computing needs without too much loss in performance - or at least that is their aim.
