A few days back, the Laptop Pimp took a look at the HP Mini 1000 and he was pretty interested in the little netbook from HP. But, will the Vivienne Tam Edition of the Mini 1000 make the cut? Let’s find out.
When it comes down to Specs, you are looking at the exact same computer as the normal Mini 100. The $150 price difference between the two machines is a matter of the case. This makes sense, seeing that Tam is a fashion designer, and this edition of the Mini has a beautiful red case with a
When it comes to laptop accessories, the standard mice and bags are all to common. But the Arbella Laptop Cool Table might help reinvent the laptop-couch-potato’s’ habits.
There are a number of plastic-slab tables out there, but none quite like this one. And as any Laptop Pimp will know, a hot laptop on the “important area” can;t be good for the “troops.” Overall, the Laptop Cool Table is really simple. Two USB powered fans frun on the bottom of the table to keep your lap and laptop cool.
This is great for new powerful laptops or o
The biggest news today came from HP, as the company released information about the first consumer-targeted multi-touch tablet notebook, the TouchSmart TX2. (Catch our coverage here.) cNet dug through the dirt and found a great video from N-Trig, which partnered with HP to produce the new notebook:
Who knews Epson was in the netbook game. Apparently, they are, and they rolled out the new Endeavor Na01 mini today in Japan. Available for about $484, teh Na01 mini can’t print your photos, but it can display them on a 10.2″ display.
Just what we needed, another netbook.
I won’t get too much into the specifics, as I doubt too many of the LaptopPimp readers are going to rush out to Japan and pick one of these up. But, just in case, here are the specs:
Ringing in at around $780, the Gateway M-7818u is tricky. It sure looks a lot like the Samsung X460, with its stylish red accents. But, the comparisons stop right there. Beyond a flashy coat, the M-7818u is a clunker.
The first thing to realize is that the M-7818u is a special configuration on the Gateway M-series made only for Office Max. Yep. Office Max. Friends, if you are going to Office Max to buy a computer. Well, you shouldn’t be.
Before anything else, this is a budget model no
It’s a sad day for the Laptop Pimp. One of his favorite print magazines, PC Magazine, will be pulling its mags off the news stands and taking it all online. The Ziff Davis glossy has been a mainstay in the computer news and review industry for 27 years. And while it isn’t over completely, say good by to reading it on the train or plane.
According to AdAge, the magazine’s move to strictly online is a natural progression, as print advertising is falling and online readership i
The LaptopPimp sees a lot of laptops, but rarely does he drool over one like this! HP unveiled the Touchsmart TX2 this morning, and boy am I excited to see what the first-ever consumer multi-touch tablet has to offer, other than the obvious presure it puts on the PC and Mac laptop market.
Starting around $1,150, the TX2 is a trend setter for sure. Not only does the multi-touch display offer a tablet orientation, you can use any number of the movements we have been craving since Minority Report featured Tom Cruse soving crime with hand gestures. That means dragging, resizing
