The Bentley Laptop by Ego Lifestyle is big on luxury; lacks specs

, Oct 31st 2008 Discuss [0]

Wow. This thing is fancy. But fancy isn't necessarily the be all and end all of technology. Take this latest creation from Ego Lifestyle. It sure is fancy, but it lacks the guts to be a real competitor. Not that it's trying to compete in the standard laptop market or anything.  Read The Full Story

Personalized Whac-a-Mole game in covert, remote-control cabinet

, Oct 31st 2008 Discuss [0]

I'm not sure what's best about this Whac-a-Mole cabinet: the fact that it's hidden inside an innocent looking bookcase and opens at the press of a remote button, or the fact that you can have personalized mole-heads made to resemble your family, co-workers or favorite politicians.  Comprising five moles that randomly pop up, two soft leather mallets to batter them with, and an LED display to keep track of your score, there's also a drinks shelf and glass-rack above to calm you down after a particularly frantic session.

The ASUS S101 luxury netbook will launch in the US on November 1st, priced at $699.  That's the latest news on the hotly-anticipated high-end Eee PC, which eschews the usual netbook frugality to instead offer basic internet, email and general connectivity in a super-portable package.  Your $699 gets you a 0.75-inch thick chassis in "copper brown" or "graphite", both with chromed accents, while under the hood it's the usual 1.6GHz Atom and 1GB of RAM.

Runco CineWall In-wall projection system is super pricey

, Oct 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

I'm all for luxury items, but some things border on ridiculous. And in this bad economy, it's even more disheartening to see things you could never possibly afford. But that won't stop me from writing about it! In fact, check out the CineWall CW-95HD from Runco. This in-wall projection system utilizes the look of a flat screen TV, with the quality of front projection. It's hard to go wrong with that sort of combination. Read The Full Story

High Water Sound four-arm turntable with multiple music personalities

, Oct 16th 2008 Discuss [0]

Since vinyl purists are such, well, purists, it comes as no surprise that they favor different needle cartridges depending on the type of music they're listening to.  No problem if you only play, say, jazz, but if you're also partial to some reggae, string quartet and classic ABBA, that's a whole lot of switching and tweaking each time.  New York audio pros High Water Sound may have the answer: a modified TW-Acoustic Raven AC turntable with four separate, independent arms and cartridges.

, Oct 7th 2008 Discuss [0]

We've seen live images but this press shot of the ASUS S101 is the first time I've seen the luxury "fashion" netbook in something other than brown - an acquired taste, to be sure.  The ASUS Eee PC S101 is the company's high-end netbook, complete with an 18-25mm thick chassis, a minimum of 16GB SSD storage and an included 16GB SD card to boost that storage.

ASUS S101 hands-on: No ordinary Eee PC

, Oct 7th 2008 Discuss [2]

The ASUS S101 netbook went official last week and is already parading its super-skinny form to the admiring crowds.  Engadget China grabbed some hands-on photos of ASUS' so-called luxury "fashion" netbook, and it certainly looks to be thinner - 18-25mm in fact - and a more mature design than we've seen in other ASUS budget ultraportables.

, Oct 6th 2008 Discuss [10]

With economies around the globe sliding sourly down the pan, it seems an unusual time to announce a $1,600 chair.  Still, if people are going to be sitting glumly, contemplating their sinking shares, they may as well have something ergonomically sound to do it on: enter Herman-Miller and their latest uber-chair, the Embody.  Follow-up to the iconic Aeron, the Embody takes that fourteen year old design and adds even more flexibility and support.
