Awesome Laptops

It’s actually from a Mexican Pepsi ad, but we think this cushy laptop pillow is cool enough that someone should sell it as a novelty item; it gives new meaning to sleeping on the job.

Squeeze more juice out of your MacBook with HyperMac’s 222Wh external battery; it’s good for 32 hours and a ridiculous 52 times for your iPhone; of course, it does weigh almost 5 lbs.

Acer finally drops official pictures for the Aspire One 751, above; the 11.6″ barely-a-netbook features an Atom 1.3GHz Z520, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, and weighs just under 3 lbs.

New at Glennz: his witty vector art is making the jump from tees to laptops, with 24 skins that fit 13″, 14″, 15″ and 17″ notebook lids; they’re all priced the same, regardless of the size.

With slash-proof shoulder straps, wire mesh front/bottom and tamper proof zippers, Metro’s Theft-Proof Laptop Bag will foil pickpockets–as long as they don’t make off with the bag itself.

Self-billed by Fujitsu as the world’s fastest UMPC, the FMVLUC50N is a mouthful and a small handful; you’ll get an 2GHz Atom CPU, 5.6″ touchscreen, 1GB RAM and up to a 120GB HDD.

Evelien Lohbeck’s Notebook is a series of reality-questioning animated shorts that are themselves encapsulated in a stop-motion short; anyone else feeling a bit M.C. Escher-ish?

Going hand-in-hand with the Sony VAIO P’s own stylistic inclinations, Vaja’s leather ivolution Suits may be pricey, but they’re hand-crafted cases whose colors you can customize.

HP’s Pavilion dv3t is now available: it features a 13.3″ 16:9 HD (1280×800) screen, HDMI out, Altec Lansing speakers, up to 8GB RAM and a 512MB NVIDIA GeForce G 105M.

Dell’s updated Studio 15 laptop is available and all about the options: choose from a 720p, 900p or 1080p 15.6″ LED display, up to a 512MB Radeon HD4570 and optional BDRW drive.

Sharp’s Mebius PC-NJ70A 10.1″ metbook is the first to walk the talk with a 4″ LCD touchscreen trackpad; it features 854×480 happy pixels that’ll accept both fingers and styluses.

Talk about “iconic” design: beyond looking like a familiar desktop element, Tryi Yeh’s Apple Mac Folder features a multi-touch screen and ultra-thin design; still, what’s with that keyboard?

It’s tough to find any real differences between Dell’s Vostro A90 and Mini 9, because there aren’t any: the real changes are the lack of bloatware and North American tech support.

A shot across the MacBook’s bow, Acer’s Aspire 3935 apes the unibody with a brown brushed metal chassis, 13.3″ LED backlit display, chiclet keyboard and multi-touch trackpad.

TechCrunch’s CrunchPad tablet now sports a slimmer design, an Intel Atom chip, bottom-up Linux OS and new Webkit browser version; Michael Arrington calls this the B.5 version.

Fresh for their Spring/Summer ’09 line, Hard Graft’s Y/U laptop sleeves and cases all sport a grey wool felt / black elastic herringbone motif; our favorite is their Y+U sleeve and pouch.

Samsung’s Mondi is a powerful handset with a 4.3″ touchscreen, slide-out QWERTY, WiMAX internet access, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, 3MP camera, HDMI out and 4GB of internal memory.

The Toffee Slim is a vertically-oriented laptop bag that’s definitely a snug fit, which isn’t too out of line for its intended passenger: MacBooks, MacBook Airs and other 13.3″ laptops.

A slightly tweaked version of yesterday’s N110, the Samsung N120 keeps the same 10.1″ display but gets a full-sized 12.1″ keyboard and an increased battery life of 10.5 hours.

Samsung’s 10.1″ N310 notebook is an oddball; its curvy design and colors make it look like a toy, but the LED display, 3G module and 93% chiclet keyboard are crave-worthy features.
