The Flybook V5 luxury notebook has just been launched in America after a successful run in Europe. This unique and feature packed lappie is priced at MacBook Air levels but offers more features and higher specs. The Flybook can be used as a tablet PC and includes a swivel touch screen for this purpose. Many other tablets force users to use a stylus as they can’t properly track human touch. It features an Intel Core 2 Duo Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) processor with 2GB Memory and an 80GB HDD. It has a 1024 x 600 resolution WXGA TFT LCD display with a built-in 1.3 Megapixel camera. The notebook includes a finger-print scanner for user authentication and can be used with HSDPA/EDGE/UMTS/GPRS and GSM wireless networks. It has Bluetooth and WLAN as well as two USB 2.0 ports. The battery is a swappable 6-cell Lithium-Ion and when fitted, brings the total weight of the system to just 1200g. Dimensions are 235 x 163 x 30mm and for those who don’t fancy the bright gold casing – black, silver and pink models are also available. With a price tag of around $3000, you can be sure it’s not looking to compete with low-cost notebooks like the Eee PC. Flybook says they are already working on a new version that will be seen in late November. Its main feature being a screen that can be read in bright daylight. Tuesday, 10 June 2008
HP’s Voodoo division has overhauled its Omen PC which is designed for very high-end workstation and gaming use. The full 22-inch tall tower is sleek and minimalist with an aluminium chassis and includes a 7-inch, 800 x 480 display on the front for useful information or to play videos or music. The internals have been completely redesigned which, according to Voodoo, makes it extremely quiet. It features one of the first uses of a quad radiator and has the mainboard positioned at 90 degrees to take advantage of heat naturally rising. Cooling is provided by a Voodoo designed water cooling loop which would be essential if using the up to 2x CPUs and 4x GPUs. At the top end you’ll find a pair of 3.2GHz Core 2 Extreme QX9770 processors, 8GB of 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM as well as support for next generation technology from ATI graphics and NVIDIA. The case has tool-free side panels that can be replaced with leather, wood or glass plus internal and external LEDs that offer aesthetic appeal as well as lighting your workspace when adding components. No word on specific configurations but expect a price anywhere between $6,500 and $20,000 depending on spec. No launch date has been set as yet but should be sometime this year.
