Lenovo Think Pad Reserve

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets


Ready to feel old, the venerable Think Pad computer is 15. Our friends at Engadget reported this earlier this summer (check out their fancy gallery of pics) but the popular computer is coming out in a swanky reserve edition that is wrapped in leather and looks a bit like a portfolio. The computer has a Centrino Pro Core 2 Duo L7500 processor, WWAN, 2GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD a 12.1-inch screen and a seven-hour battery. Each one is numbered and the maker of the Think Pad, Lenovo, will emboss the owner's name on the leather cover. To compensate for the heat of the leather, the engineers created a system to release heat through the sides. The leather also adds a bit of heft. The detail that really gets me about this one is the little antenna that pops up to help improve access to wi-fi networks. The reserve edition sells for $5,000.

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets


These are just darling, don't you think? They're the latest stick type mp3 players/USB drives from Sony. Available in a beautiful mix of pastel colors (blue, gold, pink, and violet) and black (classy), the cap is covered with a design in Swarovski crystals. Sony has announced that the 'NW-E010 series' will be available by the end of next month in the Japanese market (they get everything first it seems!) and no word on when they might make an appearance here in the U.S. Pricing is expected to be around 18,800 yen for the 2GB versions and 24,800 yen for 4GB.

Oooms Wooden Memory Sticks

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets


Some things, cool or creative as they may be, just strike me as hilarious. And these Wooden Memory Sticks by Oooms had me laughing out loud when I first saw them. Maybe it's because they're so life-like that it brought to mind visions of shoving a stick into my computer and expecting it to store my data for me. And they look so realistic because they are real -- they're handpicked branches from the woods that are professionally handcrafted into USB storage discs.

Available in 256 mb, 512 mb, 1 Gb, and 2 Gb memory sizes and measuring about 2cm x 2cm x 10cm, they cost between 45 and 80 euros each. All laughter aside, it's a really neat idea.

Phillips and Swarovski's Active Crystal Collection

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets


There's always room for more bling in our lives, sometimes in the most unlikely of places. It's not that I haven't seen decked out USB drives before, but I guess I just figure if you're going to go there then do it right and go all out. The Phillips-Swarovski Active Crystal collection definitely goes there, squeezing as many Swarovski crystals as possible onto some very cute electronic gadgets. For USB drives there's the 1 GB "Heart Beat," a two-piece locket style, and the 1 GB "Lock-Out," and retractable padlock shaped one, both of which will sell for $179.

The collection also includes headphones and earbuds with large crystals embedded in each ear piece. Available in 4 different designs they will range in price from $79-$149. The entire line is scheduled to come out this August.

Calder Laptop Cases

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags


Very simple in design, Calder laptop cases are understated and classic inside and out. Crafted with full-grain leather made by one of England's oldest tanners, the cases also have a hand-laid carbon fiber shell that's amazingly strong while not being too heavy. A silk velvet lining and suspension system protect your laptop from damage in your travels, and the whole setup reminds very much of an instrument case as opposed to a shoulder or tote bag (which is no surprise considering they make guitar and violin cases as well). Available for £2020 through the Bill Amberg store.

Microsoft Surface

by Anton Friant (RSS feed) —



OK people, here it is, the iPod of 2020 - the Microsoft Surface. Although slightly less portable than everyone's favorite gadget today, Microsoft is rigorously positioning its concept device for the kind of widespread consumer - and commercial - craze that only Apple have been able to drill up. As you can see from their flash video, good ol Gates and Co want every last one of us to be able to use this touchscreen surface to do everything - from consumer applications like organizing and sharing photos, music and video - to consumer uses like in-restaurant ordering and bill paying.

If you're as awed by this as we are, check out the hands-on demo over at Engadget!

Comfy and Relaxed: Henry Beguelin Men's Bags

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Okay, I'm not a man so I can't write about these Henry Beguelin men's bags from the angle of "I'd sure love to have one." But I can say that any guy I see carrying one will score a second glance and bonus fashion points, in my book anyway. Depending on your own personal style, they most likely appeal to earthier types who care about their appearance and want something nice, but also like the comfortable and natural "lived in" look. To me they nicely communicate two things: "I'm successful" and "I'm not stuffy." Not an entirely easy thing for a bag to do.

My favorite of the bunch, this Italian cracked leather computer bag with shoulder strap, sells for $1,750.

Luvaglio's Million Dollar Laptop

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets


Information and details are sketchy, but Luvaglio is apparently planning to unveil its latest luxury gadget -- a $1 million dollar laptop -- sometime in the near future. So what does that much money get you in the world of portable computers? There seems to be an intentional feeling of mystery surrounding the whole thing, with limited pictures released and an invitation only website. But rumor has it there's a glossy black piano finish on the outside, a self-cleaning screen, a Blu-ray drive, and a diamond-encrusted (of course) power button.

For a million dollars I hope the rumor-mill missed some major features, or else that better be one big power button.

Ego Love Edition Laptop

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

The Love Edition Laptop from Ego is the ultimate way to show the love of your life that you care - assuming that she (or he, if you're so inclined) likes gadgets even more than jewelry. It's a laptop computer that was designed just for Valentine's Day! The laptop is covered in soft red or pink leather and embellished with a heart on the top. Each one includes a silver heart pendant that can be engraved with the message of your choice. No pricing information has been released, but it's a limited run so a higher guess is safer than a lower one.

Cenario Arttops Laptops

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets, Art

Arttops are a line of laptop computers from Cenio that have, as the name suggests, very artistic tops, which set them apart from the crowds of white, grey and black laptops out there. The art is designed by Dutch artist Selwyn Senatori, who put together a blue "King" arttop and a pink "Queen" design. The laptops, unlike some of the bejeweled cases we have seen in the past, are actually fairly good in the performance department with Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz processors and 1GB of DDR2 RAM and over 100GB HDD, though the screens are a little on the small size, at 15.4-in. for the "King" and 14.1-in. for the "Queen." Only 100 of each will be build and they are set to retail for $2,986 (king) and $2,915 (queen).

Pat Says Now Diamond Mouse

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets, Jewelry

A mouse plastered in Swarovski crystals is one thing, a mouse decorated with a scattershot arrangement of diamonds is a whole other thing entirely. Swiss company Pat Says Now, makes a wide variety of mice in shapes like ghosts, fish and cats. They also do custom mice for businesses. But the mouse that is making the news is their diamond and gold mouse which sells for over $24,000. Cute, but me, I like diamonds on my fingers not under them. I'm actually more intrigued by the Liquidmouse, a customizable mouse which has moving contents inside a fluid (you can customize the fluid color and what floats inside.

laptop@home

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

laptop@home is a line of soft laptop accessories designed by Mike and Maaike that are intended to make using your laptop a bit more comfortable, especially if you prefer to actually work with it on your lap than set up at a desh. The PocketTop ($50) is a mobile workstation/laptop bag, with pockets for accessories. The CushTop ($35) is a lap desk that keeps the heat from the laptop from building up on your legs, as well as giving you a more comfortable angle for typing. The SleeveTop ($40) is the most streamlined of the line, very thin with built-in cooling pads for lap work.

Million Dollar Jewelry PC

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

We love Engadget's coverage of CES just as much as we love seeing some of the hot new gadgets to come out of it. Our feeling for the Jewelry PC are not quite that strong, despite the fact that it is, according to the makers at Moneual labs, the "world's first million dollar personal computer." It doesn't look that impressive even though it includes real diamonds and other jewels, but it runs "a Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 FX, Windows Vista Ultimate, 8GB of DRAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX 768MB of RAM, 2TB of 7,200 SATA storage, Blu-ray or HD DVD drive and ... [has] a 7-inch built-in screen, TV tuner and 7.1-channel sound." Unless you like the really traditional (bordering on old-fashioned) look of the computer, you might simply be better off going for a flashier, more modern computer and buying your diamonds separately.

Medion Swarovski Notebook

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

Adorned with over 300 pink and clear Swarovski crystals, Medion's Limited Edition Swarovski Notebook Computer is a cut above your average laptop. Despite the fact that the notebook appears to be gray in the photo, it is actually a light shade of pink, too. The computer has an Intel Centrino Duo 1.73GHz processor, 1024MB memory, 100GB hard disc drive, DVD-RW and a two-speaker high definition audio system, but it is the sparking flower design on the front that is really going to sell the machine. Price: £1,000 ($1,905).

Mottainai Crystal USB Drive

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

This gem of a USB drive is made by SolidAlliance and is known as the Mottainai. The 2 GB memory stick looks like gold, although it is actually made of bronze, and has beautiful, multi-faceted crystals from Statsuma Kiriko embedded in it. Apparently, it was made "as a tribute to the Japanese craft industry," although we suspect the manufacturer didn't mind the idea of adding a little bling to computers, either. Price: $765.
