Pixel Lab Unveils RippleNote PLK570 Gaming Laptop
By Andrew | December 19, 2007
While a month ago, the news in the air was an exclusive laptop from Korea’s own Pixel Lab and then it’s easy to understand if the lid design would be embraced by the people. And now the Korean firm is in news for offering another RippleNote lineup. The 17-inch PLK570 features some appealing hardware too, counting a WXGA+ (1,440 x 900) panel, NVIDIA’s GeForce 8700M GT, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 160GB 7,200RPM SATA drive, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, gigabit Ethernet and WiFi to boot. Other flaunting features include Bluetooth, a multi-card reader, DVI / S-Video outputs, FireWire and audio in / out ports. I am still not swayed if it would cost $2,466 but would suggest you to wait and watch the show.

W5Fe Notebook by ASUS
By Andrew | August 20, 2007
Overshadowing the doubts of ASUS coming out with the cheapest UMPC ever, the company has lately unveiled its new W5Fe series of notebooks in India. This 12-inch electronic product comes packed with a unique external display known as “SideShow”. The USP of the display resides in its feature to switch on without starting the entire system, thereby displaying preferred information via text, images and audio. The high-resolution swivel webcam gives this product every reason to flaunt itself with wireless video communiqué.
The features of this power-packed device doesn’t end here as operating on Windows Vista with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor; the notebook carries 1.5GB of DDR2 RAM, 160 GB hard disk, a TV-Out, 3 USB ports and 8in1 card-reader.
With 12.1-inch WXGA LCD display, the device is ready to hit its prospective user at $2,423. But I am still hopeful that ASUS update its portfolio soon by adding the tag of producing the Cheapest UMPC till date.
