Kohjinsha’s dinky swivel-screened MID, the PA-series, isn’t the only unusual rotation happening on the company’s stand at CEATEC. They’re also showing off this dual-screen beast, currently in prototype form, packing twin 10.1-inch LCDs for some mobile widescreen action. SlashGear Japan stopped by to grab some live photos for us.
Sony’s final new VAIO announcement this week is the VAIO CW Series, a range of 14-inch 16:9 aspect notebooks available in a series of moderately striking colors.

Sony have officially announced their VAIO X ultraportable, the super-slim 11.1-inch notebook first debuted back in September.

SlashGear Japan caught up with it at CEATEC this week for a few hands-on shots.

If Acer’s Aspire 1410T (aka the Timeline 1810T) took your fancy but you’re a multitouch convert, how about a convertible tablet version of the same ultraportable notebook? macles have spotted the Acer Aspire Timeline 1820T, ostensibly the same 11.6-inch 1,366 x 768 notebook with an Intel CULV 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor and 2GB of RAM, but gaining a rotating screen hinge and a multitouch-capable touchscreen.
Laptop bags are an important part of your mobile productivity kit. Without a laptop bag you have to carry your computer by hand, which looks pretty silly honestly. A good laptop bag can also protect your sensitive gear from rain should you be caught outside and from spills.
