Sometimes tradition gets a bit boring and for some people the laptop is becoming a mere work tool, so it seems that by changing the shape and the design of the laptop fun could be brought back into personal computing.

The Revo Round laptop is just that round! Its unusual design is aiming to blow the laptop market apart and create a nice little niche within the multi million dollar industry.

Posted on January 21, 2010 by David Allen

How many people do know that use the MacBook Air? It seems that this machine has fallen out of favour with the Apple fans that are rather more keen on the MacBook Pro.

This is from MIC Gadget; it comes with a satisfactory list of specs that include: a 13.3 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display, 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU, 1 GB of RAM, a 160 GB hard drive, a 3 cell battery and
