The IDF Beijing 2001 is always going to be big for far eastern firms, but it seems that MeeGo are looking to make a big splash too with a new look. China is the ideal marketplace for MeeGo and it looks as if they are going for it out there, but so far, all we know about the Meego device is that it has a 10.1 inch display, is 10 mm thick and will be running a Z670 1.50 GHz processor with around 1 GB of RAM

We have not seen many laptop or netbook cooling pads for a while, but this one from Targus is a very interesting design and therefore demands to be looked at.

There is a fascination to produce small but very useful tablet devices and this one found in China is no exception. It offers a neat little 8.9 inch touch screen display and is powered by a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N450 CPU along with the normal 1 GB of RAM and a handy 120 GB hard drive.

Heat can do so much damage to a laptop and the thing is you do not even know that the damage is being done until it is too late and it is time to buy a new laptop. This could easily been avoided with an investment of around $20 on a laptop cooling stand. Now it seems that buying a laptop cooling stand such as this one from Belkin is not such a crazy idea after all.
