Toshiba Satellite NB105 Netbook not that great
It looks like the Toshiba is going to release the same low-margin UMPC’s that everyone else has already released. Toshiba’s newest ultra portable is, the NB105. Back in July, Toshiba was showing off a touchscreen UMPC and talking about how the “six or seven” netbook market segments it had identified meant that it wasn’t going to compete directly with the Eee PC. Unfortunately the NB105 has nothing special to show off it is expected to have a 8.9-inch screen, 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and Windows XP. No final pricing details yet, but the NB105 is expected to be available in Mexico in November.
Alienware shows off Radeon HD 4870 X2 gaming computer
Alienware has already released a gaming rig with NVIDIA’s top-end GTX 280 graphics card, but if that’s not your fancy, we suggest that you look at ATI’s Radeon HD 4870 X2 as well. This card offers 2.4 teraflops of graphics power, is available in the company’s Area-51, Area-51 ALX, and Aurora desktops, each of which also available with dual HD 4870 X2 cards in a CrossFireX configuration. To be able to run a computer with that card, however, you will also have to change the power supply to 1200 watts.
Dell releases new Latitude E series
Dell is releasing a bunch of new laptops today, and the first are new Latitudes. Just like we told you some time ago, the E series is replacing the D series, with seven new models in total. The E6500, E6400, E5500, and E5400 are usual laptop models with 15.4 and 14.1-inch displays, while the E4400 and E4200 are ultra portables and the E6400 ATG is a tough notebook. The 12-inch E4200 is the lightest business laptop Dell has ever made, weighing only 2.2 pounds, while the 13.3-inch E4200 weighs 3.4 pounds. Dell has told us that the batteries on the usual laptops can last for up to 19 hours, which sounds to good to be true. The new models also are available with a backlit keyboard, and can be used with dual pointing devices. Consumers can also add a fingerprint reader, and WWAN options including WiMAX.
Dell's Latitude E-series roadmap
Here we have Dell’s Latitude roadmap displaying up until Q1 of 2009. You may recall when we broke the E-series news back in February. Sadly the details of each of the new E-series is still to come. Until that time arrives, sit back and relax knowing that Dell’s thinner, lighter Centrino 2-based E-series laptops with amazing “all day batteries” and an emphasis on design are coming very soon.

Acer to release Blu-ray-equipped 16 and 18.4-inch laptops
Acer has released many laptops in the past year, but that doesn’t stop them from expanding their selection even further, with the company now reportedly planning on releasing a pair of new notebooks sporting Blu-ray drives and high res screens. It is not entirely offical at this time, but DigiTimes reports that the laptops will consist of a 16-inch and an 18.4-inch model, both of which will feature a “Full HD panel”. Unfortunately at this time, we have no other details on the laptops, but they will be priced between $1,900 and $2,240 when they released in the second quarter of this year.

Fujitsu Lifebook P8010
Fujitsu’s Lifebook P8010 is a beautiful ultra portable that looks to be just as nice as the Macbook Air. The processor may not be any good because it is called a SL7100 VL processor. We do not know the real speed. The Lifebook is under the FCC’s review and should be available soon.
Specs:
Three USB 2.0 ports

FlipStart PC price drops by 50%
We have seen many gadgets drop in price but never a drop from $1500 to $700 in a single day. They must want to sell them fast because they have a new version coming out soon. Most likely they just weren’t selling like predicted.
