Laptop choiche

You might recall a couple days ago we covered the story from the Sony site that hinted at a new notebook that was on its way. Well more teaser shots have been leaked including a trailer and the image you see above. And all of them match the recent FCC filings that Sony is responsible including a computer with the exact dimensions pictured.

My only wish is that this guy will not only carry a BD drive combo but perhaps a touch screen. When you come to think about it though this might be an elongated Asus Eee PC.

A notebook containing private information on AT&T human resources and management was stolen from a recruit’s vehicle last month, the company revealed.
The notebook, which had no encryption or safety fortification further than a password lock, enclosed names, Social Security numbers, and income information for an unrevealed number of workers. Employees were notified of the burglary on May 22, 7 days after the theft, with regards to seclusion supervisory body, which 1st reported the story. In a correspondence to employees, AT&T said that, "The actions and safety measures we put in place to defend the safety of company-owned belongings and our employees private in sequence were not followed."

The Asus Eee PC T91 Tablet netbook was officially announced at the CES. Though the release date is set somewhere in March the guys at bit-tech.net have managed to get their hands on a pre-production Eee PC T91 sample.

According to bi-tech the most notable feature of Eee PC T91 Tablet is the touch-sensitive display with 1024 x 600 native resolution. This 8.9-inch LED-backlit display can rotate up to 180 degrees on a hinge. Not just the screen, but the hinge also rotates by 180 degrees and Asus claims that the Eee PC T91 is the smallest and the slimmest tablet PC up to date when the display screen is folded back on to the keyboard.

The Eee PC T91 is powered by Intel Atom Z520 processor with Intel US15W chipset, 1GB of DDR2 memory and 32GB SSD. It will also include Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11 b/g, 10/100 Ethernet and an integrated webcam. The Eee PC T91 also has options for GPS connectivity, 3G module and DVB-T TV tuner. This tablet netbook runs on Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3 installed. The Eee PC T91 meaures 225x164x25.2-28.4 mm(W x D x H) and weighs less than 1kg with battery attached. Asus has also announced that it is working on another version of this Tablet called T101 with a 10-inch display.

As concluded by bi-tech, “Ultimately, the quality of Asus’ touch screen software is going to determine the fate of this device because, without great software, you’re paying for a feature that might be useful on occasion, but is likely to be a hindrance more often than not. Having not spent time using the software yet, its impossible to gauge the fate of the T91 – keyboard and touch pad issues aside though, the devices build quality is a notch above most other Eee PCs and not too far from the S101. And given the amount of time between now and the expected end of April availability date, we expect the issues we encountered to be resolved. If touch is your thing, this might be worth a look.”

Coby has taken the wraps off their sub $200 line of netbooks and by sub we mean $199. But before you get your hopes built up Coby was quick to announce that its just a "market research project" although they said that they would be coming to the market (no release date of course).
