SlashGear JapanWhen one hears of a custom laptop sleeve generally it means it will end up costing thousands of dollars. However, this simple little monogram sleeve isn’t exactly cheap but it won’t cost you a fortune either.

By Vincent Nguyen on Saturday, Apr 19th 2008 No CommentsAny still on the fence about purchasing a low cost ultra mobile pc should highly consider the Eee PC 900. Priced at just $549, it is impressively packed with an 8.9-inch LCD display with 1,024 x 600 resolution, an integrated 1.3 megapixel camera, 12 or 20 gigabyte of Solid State Disk (SSD) for Windows and Linux, respectively.
Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Review – MacBook Air killer?
By Ewdison Then on Thursday, Apr 17th 2008 4 CommentsLenovo probably wouldn’t admit it, but you get the impression they’re quite pleased with how they managed to crash the ultraportable party. Apple’s achingly-thin MacBook Air seemingly had just scant moments to enjoy the limelight, before leaked details of Lenovo’s own, Windows based rebuke, the X300, started to turn up. Before long, the company was putting out adverts surreptitiously suggesting that the Air’s compromises for extreme thinness and lack of connectivity meant that, unlike the DVD and ethernet toting X300, it couldn’t quite be called a “fully featured” ultraportable. It’s rare for a Windows machine manufacturer to try to so resolutely dismiss Apple – there’s usually at least a grudging respect – so when Lenovo sent an X300 to SlashGear we were keen to see how well it lived up to the claims.
Rock Pegasus P210 ultra-portable notebook – not for performance fiends
By James Allan Brady on Friday, Apr 4th 2008 2 CommentsClearly weight was the main concern in this notebook. It’s a 12-incher aimed at competing with the MBA and X300 and Portege R500, and it’s made by a company in the UK, and it sucks.
The Civilian Manila Envelope Case
By Abby McVay on Tuesday, Mar 18th 2008 No CommentsMost have probably seen the MacBook Air Manila Envelope sleeves that followed the release of the laptop. This leather version is just a slightly more chic twist to the slightly geeky sleeve.

Lenovo X300 ultraportable uses Samsung SATA II Solid State Drive
By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Mar 4th 2008 3 CommentsLenovo’s much-vaunted ThinkPad X300 is being hailed in some circles as the ultraportable to oust the MacBook Air, and a major chunk of its charm is the use of a Solid State Drive (SSD) rather than a traditional drive that can be subject to knocks and jolts. Samsung provided the SATA II SSD used, with the specific model capable of 100 MB/s read rates and 80 MB/s write rates, despite using 30-percent less power than a typical platter-based drive.
MacBook Air Patents – ports! Lots and lots of ports!
By James Allan Brady on Thursday, Feb 28th 2008 2 CommentsThere is some indication in some Apple MacBook Air patents that they are looking to up the number of ports on the notebook from 4 to 7-8. One of the ports includes and integrated Ethernet adapter.
iMacs getting processor upgrade too?
By James Allan Brady on Monday, Feb 25th 2008 No CommentsSo we all know that Apple hasn’t updated their precious MacBook Pro line in quite sometime, nor have they updated their MacBooks any time recently, so updates for both are likely on their way. The catch is, whatever processor/graphics/FSB the MacBook Pros are using/have usually gets passed on to the iMacs.
ThinkPad X300 by Lenovo reviewed by the man – Walt Mossberg
By James Allan Brady on Thursday, Feb 21st 2008 No CommentsOverall Mr. Mossberg seems quite pleased with the X300 and more or less says that even for the steep price it may very well be worth it. Really, he only has a slight indifference with the battery life, but his only major complaint when compairing it to the MacBook Air is that he says the Mac OS is far better than Windows.
