HP'S new and sexy 2530p- 12-inch notebook

HP has announced a 12-inch uber-thin notebook, the 2530p. I got a chance to play with this thin baby recently at the HP offices and I am very impressed with the portability of the 2530p. The 2530p features Centrino 2 technology so it's got really good performance and is available with either the ULV or LV processor option giving you the choice of performance or battery life. The 12-inch screen displays at 1280x800 and you can outfit the 2530p with either a 3-cell, 6-cell or 9-cell battery. I was extremely impressed with how light and thin this baby is and I would love to get my hands on an evaluation. The 2530p can be configured with an internal optical drive which is pretty cool for such a small notebook.

Intel's URBANMAX

UrbanMax is a mobile computer prototype measuring just 1 inch thick, looking like a tablet PC but with a sliding keyboard and a 11.1-inch touch-sensitive wide display that tilts up to a laptop screen level.
It will feature the N-trig's DuoSense digitizer technology, characterized by a battery-free pen, 0 pressure capacitive touch, multi-touch functionality, and low power consumption.

"N-trig's DuoSense technology allows OEMs and ODMs to produce innovative new mobile and wireless computing devices that are not currently available on the market today," said Amihai Ben-David, CEO of N-trig. "We are excited to be collaborating with Intel and other Tier 1 players who are recognizing our breakthrough and innovative technology."



The touch and pen digitizer is located in front of any size LCD display, and is thin, lightweight and transparent, supporting Windows XP Tablet and Windows Vista operating systems support, with on-board upgradeable firmware. N-trig created the battery-free electrostatic stylus providing the power source from the magnetic energy produced by the excitation coil located in the digitizer, while the user can access the tablet either using finger touch or this stylus. The surface is a capacitive sensing system featuring fast response time, drag and drop, scroll, flicks and select.





The precise input is accomplished using palm rejection capability, which differentiates between unwanted contact and intentional input.
You can also use multiple fingers to manipulate files, thanks to the multi-touch support, which allows for zooming, panning, rotate and double-tap via the Hands-on Gestures technology.
This is the information we have at the moment about the Intel UrbanMax high-end tablet and we can conclude that when it’ll be available on the market it will be the top model of its kind featuring the latest computer technology.

Dell's Ming Laptops

In May Dell made available some nice laptop cover designs based on the 15.4-inch Inspiron 1525 model. They were created by the designer Michael Miyahira from Brooklin, and the notebook design line was called Mike Ming Extreme Edition. It featured Sea Sky theme and Bunch O Surfers covers.
Now, the same designer came up with other cool creations for the Studio 15 and Studio 17 Dell laptops, to offer the customers the possibility to personalize their new acquisitions.



"The technology behind creating Dell's Art House series of laptops allows me to share my visual creations with people who are inspired by art and who want to express their own individually unique sense of style," says Michael Miyahira.



These Special Art Edition urban designs for Dell Mike Ming line have a fluid organic style and you can choose from Red Swirl, Seaweed or Sunburst. Dell Inspiron 1525 is again the base laptop configuration and it starts at a price of $799.



Characteristics of the laptops include built-in web camera, capacitive touch media control buttons, slot load drives, optional mercury-free LED displays, backlit keyboards, built-in mobile broadband for high-speed transfers, Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 3GB memory and 320GB hard drive.



"It's exciting and fun discovering new artists around the world who can create emotional ties, uniqueness and personalization with individuals' personal technology," said Michael Tatelman, vice president of global consumer sales and marketing at Dell. "The Special Art Edition designs reflect our customers' desires to add another level of individuality to everyday life."

Acer Aspire Predator Gaming PC launched

This is quite possibly one of the meanest looking computers you will ever lay your eyes on. The Aspire Predator from Acer is their top of the line gaming machine, meant to aid you in your quest to destroy anything and everything that stands in your way, from Alien hordes to Danny Glover.

The front panel mechanically rotates up to expose the glorious innards, from hot-swappable HDDs to USB ports. Behind the connections (in the belly of the beast, perhaps?) you're inundated with the highest possible tech available, from the 4TB of hard disk space to the 8GB of RAM. The entire thing is powered by an Intel Core2 Extreme quad-core processor with 1333MHz FSB, while a two-way enabled NVIDIA SLI takes care of the graphics.

There's also liquid cooling and dual Gigabit LAN technology to completely eradicate lag from your fragfests.

Needless to say, all this tech will cost a pretty penny, and that pretty panny adds up to be $4,500. But if you're serious about your PC gaming, how can you really afford to not own one of these machines?
