Earlier this year, we attended the Asus 2010 CES Event in Las Vegas. While there, we caught a glimpse of several upcoming notebooks the hardware giant had in store. One of the most anticipated products we saw was in the Republic of Gamers line up.
There's almost nothing hotter than a screamin' fast desktop replacement notebook. Sure, these machines aren't notebooks in the traditional sense of the word. If you really plan to take them on the road, you better not have been cheatin' on your sit-ups, sonny-boy.
It's not too often that we hear about Intel releasing new "unlocked" CPUs, which is what makes the release of the newest Core i5 and Core i7 processors
so incredible. For gamers who weren't able to spring for the ultra-expensive Core i7-980X Extreme Edition, the new K series is a great alternative.
It’s the notebook equivalent of a tank—with a force field around it. The Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 is able to withstand 70-mph winds and nearly 6 inches of blowing rain per hour. Or you can drop it from 6 feet 26 times. And while this fully rugged notebook looks the same as its predecessor on the outside, inside this Intel Core i5 machine boasts almost double the performance and increased protection without sacrificing battery life.
Panasonic released the newest addition to its Lumix line of high-end compact cameras. The new Lumix DMC-FX75 is a 14.1 megapixel shooter with a 24-120mm ultra-wide-angle f2.2-f5.9 lens and a 5x optical zoom. This camera can also record 720p HD video in the AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) Lite format.

The Computex convention in Taipei officially kicked off this morning, and that means you can expect a spate of product announcements at every turn. One of those comes from MSI, who has just announced their R5870 Lightning graphics card.
We recently wrapped up a review of one of Asus' hottest new mobile gaming monsters, the G73Jh. Change a single letter in that model name, and you're looking at a machine that is equipped with native WirelessHD integration, which will certainly rival Intel's own WiDi implementations in the months to come.
It has been about two months since NVIDIA officially unveiled their first pair of DirectX 11 graphics cards based on the highly anticipated Fermi architecture, the flagship GeForce GTX 480 and the GeForce GTX 470. As is typically the case, when NVIDIA--or ATI for that matter-- releases a new high-end GPU, lower-end, more affordable derivatives are eventually introduced to maximize yield of the chips.
Over the past year, Intel has had two major desktop-oriented processor product launches for the LGA1156 socket: Lynnfield back in September and Clarkdale at CES in January. But enthusiasts with overclocking ambitions haven't had much choice. Sure, there was the Core i7-980X "Gulftown" CPU, but that was for the more extreme owners of LGA1366 motherboards. Now, however, things are changing with Intel's release of the Core i7-875K ($342 list, ) and the Core i5-655K ($216 list, ).
Like the rest of the industry, HP has taken a huge liking to metals. So much so, that its entire line of laptops (netbooks not included) has been updated with this design material. The HP Pavilion dm4 ($905 direct) is not only covered in them, but it's one of the lightest laptops in the 14-inch category, and yet it toppled the competition in speed tests. Its major flaw is the gesture-enabled touchpad, which proved to be more bothersome than helpful.
