Awesome Laptops

The idea of a notebook with a handle isn’t new, but Zhang Shouze’s Briefcase Laptop is both aesthetically and functionally awesome: the handle also tilts and elevates your lappie.

Booq’s Vyper XS3 is more like laptop armor than a sleeve; it features a water-resistant cross-weave ballistic nylon exterior with non-scratch interior lining and 1/4″ molded foam.

It’s no M6500, but Dell’s Precision M4500 packs a lot into a 15.6″ form factor with a 1GB Quadro FX 1800M or 880M, Core i5/i7 CPU, 3 MP camera, backlit keyboard, and Gobi 2.0.

Green is not our color, but thankfully Incase’s reworked Neoprene Sleeve Plus comes in black and grey; it boasts a new inner border and extended faux-fur lining to increase protection.

Dell’s Vostro may be targeted at small businesses, but the 3000 series will rope in a few consumers too; it sports sleek aluminum-class chassis, Core i5/i7 CPUs, and 13″-17″ screens.

HP’s EliteBook 2740p tablet targets business users; it packs a touch/pen screen, Core i5/i7 CPU, military-spec magnesium alloy case/DriveGuard tech, built-in GPS, Wi-fi, and Gobi 3G.

Panasonic’s Toughbook H1 Field is a rugged 3.4 lb tablet; it features a MIL-810/IP65 chassis, 10.4″ touchscreen, Gobi EV-DO/HSPA module, Atom Z540 CPU, 2 GB RAM, and 64GB SSD.

Asus’ G73JH-X1 laptop joins their RoG line with droolworthy specs for only $1,500: you’ll get a 17.3″ 1920×1080 display, Core i7 720QM, 8GB RAM, and 1 GB Radeon HD 5870.

Give your old t-shirts a new lease on life with Hello Rewind’s laptop sleeves; send them a t-shirt and they’ll turn it into a custom 13″ or 15″ padded laptop sleeve in 4-8 weeks.

Choosing a Gelaskin can be a bit like eating only one thing at a buffet, but we’d gladly dine in hell with Frank Miller; they now offer skins pulled directly from the pages of 300 and Sin City.

We’re digging the bare-bones, industrial aesthetic of the inclinepro; it’s a 7 oz. laptop stand made with aerospace-grade aluminum that both raises and angles up to a 17″ MacBook Pro.

We’ll actually be disappointed if Apple’s Tablet doesn’t look like this MacView concept; it features two multi-touch LED screens, 1 TB SSD, 4 GB RAM and docking into an iMac-style stand.

Dell Alienware’s M11x packs a 15″ laptop into a sub-12″ form factor; it features an 11.6″ 720p screen, Nvidia GT335M card, 6+ hours of battery life, and DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA-out.

Slim and light at 1″/3 lbs. but well-equipped, Sony’s 13.1″ carbon fiber and aluminum Vaio Z boasts a Core i5 or i7 CPU, HDMI-out, 3G, hybrid graphics system, and 512 GB SSD.

Sony’s Vaio F tops out their entertainment notebook line with a 16.4″ 16:9 1080p screen, HDMI-out, GeForce GT330M or 310M, up to 8 GB RAM, standard Core i7, and optional Blu-ray.

Bring the boom to your boxers with Logitech’s Speaker Lapdesk N700; it’s a quirky combination of ergonomic, air-cooled comfort and integrated stereo speakers for your laptop.
