We’re having trouble figuring out whether this is a netbook or a super powered digital photo frame. Either way it is powered by 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, and comes with HDMI output, 1GB of RAM, 2GB of flash memory, Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, a webcam, mic, and speakers.

LG has just announced their new LG X-Note R590, which will be powered by an i7 CPU (820QM or 720QM), and featuring 4GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce CT 230M with 1024MB of VRAM, a 15.6” LED Backlight monitor with a 1600×900 resolution, 500GB of HDD, WiFI ABGN and with Windows 7 Home Premium as well as AION an MMORPG.

If you are really yearning for an ultra thin laptop, but don’t want to sacrifice screen size or power in the process, then the Dell Latitude Z is the perfect choice for you. It comes with 4GB of DDR3 RAM, four-cell battery, Gesture-enabled touchpad, a soft-touch Black Cherry finish, two USB ports, one DisplayPort, Wi-Fi, optional built-in 3G wireless, 2MP autofocus integrated webcam and microphone, Bluetooth, and a gorgeous 1600×900 16-inch display with a touch interface.

Nokia certainly doesn’t want to get left behind in the age of the netbook. They have just introduced their new Booklet 3G, which boasts an impressive set of features for the rumored price of $799. The netbook will come with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530, a 120GB HDD, plus integrated 3G, a swappable SIM card, A-GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi.

The Averatec N3400 has caught our attention. It has the sweet spot LCD size of 13.3″ between comfort and portability. It’s also light at 3.8lbs. It looks like the outer shell is made of aluminum, but the rest of the casing seems quite “normal”. The other specs are Intel T3400 2.16Ghz (a CULV would have been cooler), 13.3″ 1280×1024 with 1.3MP webcam, 3GB DDR 2m 800Mhz (8GB max), 250GB hdd, DVD drive, 3x USB, 3.5mm audio in/out, VGA, Multi-format card reader, WiFi-N, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet. Let’s just hope the battery stands out and a there’s a backlight for the keyboard.

Sony finally reveals the Vaio W Series after much pressure from the market. We do know it will come with the following standard specifications. Intel Atom N280 processor, 1GB RAM, 10.1″ LCD display at 1,366 x 768 resolution, Intel GMA 950 graphics chipset, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The only downside though is the battery. It’s only 2 to 3 hours.

The second gen Latitude E6400 XFR is now released and is carrying on the tradition of the first one. You can immediately see the difference of this one visually compared to the earlier model.
The XFR can handle the DoD’s MIL-STD 810F heat, dust and vibration requirements, the PR481 “ballistic” armor provides twice the impact protection of magnesium alloy and the whole thing is well-sealed enough to handle direct blasts of pressurized water. The specs include a Core 2 Duo, a 6MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M and an integrated 4500MHD driving a sunlight-readable 14.1 inch WXGA display. The size is 2.2-inch thick and a 8.5-pound package that is 15% thinner and 5% lighter. Amazing. Of course this will come for a price that’s still TBA.
