Hardcore gaming and notebooks are usually two terms that don’t mix. One of the things you have to sacrifice for the sake of portability in laptops is the performance factor which is required to render the heavy visual effects and physics in modern video games. But for those who have the money to burn, there are manufacturers who have come out with gaming notebooks which pack the punch in a small package. ORIGIN is one such company specializing in the high performance gaming hardware sector. Their latest creation is the EON18, which really packs

Want a thin and light laptop for business? Dell’s Latitude 13 laptop is aimed at the business type and is now available on the Dell site. Business doesn’t have to mean a boring looking laptop in this case.

It’s available in three customizing options: base, economy, and productivity, with your choice of Celeron M or Core 2 Solo CPUs, Linux, Vista, or Windows 7 OS, up to 2GB of SD-RAM, and a 160GB hard drive.

The starting price is $559.

Although we were quite sure that the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e was a 11.6-inch laptop with AMD Neo processors under the hood, a recent document on the company’s website showed us a new 10.1-inch model with an Intel Atom N450 processor clocking at 1.66GHz and SD+ 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, that looks more like a powerful netbook than a laptop.

Although there's nothing confirmed regarding price and availability, we're happy to tell you that the 10.1-inch ThinkPad X100e will bring similar specs with the bigger version, and that includes

Sure the Wii is cool with it’s motion control and Mii characters, but it isn’t exactly easy to carry with you. However, it is for this talented casemodder. Modder OMGPedoBear worked on this project for 3 months and the end result is a portable Wii laptop.

He created it from expanded PVC sheets, and put a 17″ LCD monitor in the lid. Games are loaded by placing the Wii DVD upside-down in the front-loading tray. There are also a couple of extra fans to deal with the heat.

The Wii laptop even has a full QWERTY keyboard for

The Acer Aspire 1820PT was revealed at the end of an Acer press conference, and now Engadget have managed to get one to review hands-on. What they’re saying is not far from the expected, read on to find out what’s in store for you.

The laptop features a firm, sturdy design, according to Engadget – the hinge is very strong, yet smooth, and there’s an accelerometer for when the laptop is in tablet mode. It also supports capacitive multitouch, as well as using the stylus for input. The stylus

OU_prof_puts_laptop_in_liquid_nitrogen_smashes_it_VIDEO'; Hey, students -- pay attention. Not to us, mind you, but to the syllabus provided by your professor. Kieran Mullen, a physics professor at the University of Oklahoma, has a fairly strict rule about gadgets in class: there won't be any, ever, under any circumstances. Balk all you want (understandable given his own clipped-on cellie), but if you sign up for this guy's class, you'll be flipping your phone to "off" and leaving your laptop in the dormitory. And if you try to blaze your own path and slip that netbook

You know what can't be easy? Making a netbook stand out amongst the hordes of them out there, and yet despite run-of-the-mill specs Fujitsu's done just that with the MH380. Maybe it is the rounded red lid or the small crater in its palmrest that doubles as a scroll pad, but the $449 netbook has struck us as more than just another Pine Trail netbook ever since its appearance at CES. We'd like to take that at face value, but given the fact that Fujitsu doesn't have the best netbook track record, we wanted to spend some quality time with it to find out if the 10-inch

Time to update you on another forthcoming update in the laptop world, this time concerning Lenovo's premier widescreen workstation range. Purported internal Lenovo slides from earlier this year show the new W701 and W701ds ThinkPads nonchalantly hanging out next to some pretty beefy spec sheets. The W701, which we saw passing through the FCC, is again listed alongside an Intel Extreme series CPU and a Wacom Digitizer, while its display quality has been upgraded all the way to 100 percent of the NTSC color gamut and 280 nits of brightness. Going stride for stride with it

I am betting that there are lots of people who work in offices in and out of the tech world that can relate to Dilbert and his office woes. I have had a few bosses that were as trying as Pointy-haired Boss and coworkers I wanted to kick in the groin.

If you are a big fan of Dilbert, a company called LTL Prints has announced that it is offering wall graphics from the strip. Just about every character from the comic is available from Dilbert and Dogbert to the Pointy-haired one.

You can get graphics sized for laptops or 7-foot tall graphics

After Dell bought Alienware in 2006, three execs decided to quit so that they could create their own company, Origin, and make high end gaming PCs like Alienware. Their first endeavor is finally here and is dubbed Eon 18. It’s a stylish and highly customizable gaming laptop with an 18.4″ full HD widescreen display, dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 208M GPUs, 7.1 high-def audio, and up to three 250GB SSDs.

It sure looks like Alienware, just without the alien logo. Right now it has a Core 2 Extreme Quad QX9300, but on Monday it will get a Core
