MSI launched their newest gaming notebook today called the GX723. This notebook is most definitely a desktop replacement, measuring in at 17-inches and featuring a serious 512MB GeForce GT 130M graphics chipset for great graphics that run smoothly.
The notebook also features Turbo Mode, which makes for overclocking of the Core 2 Duo processor. However, this will only work if the notebook is plugged in and not running on battery power. Five speakers are built in that create Dolby sound in super confined area.
The display features a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution and 4GB of RAM is included along with the option of a 320GB or 500GB hard drive. Other features include a 2-megapixel webcame, a 6 or 9-cell battery, Wi-Fi, and a Blu-ray or DVD-drive. We don’t know when the MSI GX723 will be available or how much it’ll cost, but we’ll keep you in the loop.

Review - Mini Notebook/Netbook Roundup
Some manufacturers call it "Mini notebook PCs", while others call them "netbooks". But it is all thanks to ASUS Eee PCs that were first launched in 2007 that opens up a new market for smaller form factor notebook PCs.
The Mini notebook PC / netbook is equipped with Intel Atom processor that is designed for low power consumption which provides a longer battery life. It is, however, not intended for performance. You can use it to surf the web, check your email and create a word document or Excel spreadsheet, but it will not stutter if you want to do programming or image and video editing.

BlackBerry Storm 2 Live! Well, It’s Thinner
They don’t them CrackBerry for nothin’. The site recently posted shots of what’s purported to be the sequel to the smart phone you either love or hate. Based on the photos of the Storm 2, it certainly looks slimmer than the original, and it appears as though the phsyical buttons along the bottom are now touch sensitive.The only other feature you can make out from the pics is a 3.2-MP camera
We’ve already heard that this device will rock Wi-Fi, but the biggest question I have is how much work RIM has done to improve the touchscreen/typing experience. I’m guessing we won’t see the Storm 2 until the Fall, and by then both the Pre and (I’m guessing) and next-gen iPhone will be on shelves. Will this follow-up make serious waves or be as exciting a sequel as the Samsung Instinct S30? Time will tell.

Cube H200D PMP adds an HDMI output, a few color options
Cube already caught us off guard last month with a 1080i-capable PMP, and this month it's outdoing itself once more. The H200D has yet to be fully detailed, but we do know that it'll rock an expansive touchscreen, an HDMI output, RMVB support and arrive in red, blue or grey. Too bad it'll take a flight to China to ever find one, but here's hoping someone over on US soil takes a hint.

Verizon’s Subsidized Netbook Not Worth The Money
At LAPTOP, we’re big fans of the netbook category, but we also realize its limitations. So when we heard today that Verizon is going to be offering an HP Mini 1151NR (an HP Mini 1000 with a different model number) for $200 in exchange for signing a two-year mobile broadband contract and agreeing to monthly rates of $40 to $60 a month, we were highly skeptical.
Sure, it’s great to have access to Verizon’s speedy EV-DO network from anywhere, but given the low-end hardware itself and the astronomical amount of money you’re committing to that netbook over a period of 24 months, you’d have to be a complete sucker to fall for this deal.

Phenom II Processors and DDR3 Memory
They say that a whole stadium of people wishing the same thing at the same time can make it come true. For example, if they all start meditating with a photo of a certain tree in a forest, picturing it on fire, that very tree may really ignite. We don't know whether this psychological experiment has to do anything with reality. We just never tried it. :) But imagine how many reviewers and interested users said that it made no sense to upgrade from DDR2 to DDR3. So it must be really hard for the new memory type to justify its existence, even if there are some technical prerequisites for it already. We understand that we cannot expect any qualitative leap in performance, especially in case of similarly clocked memory modules. However, we decided to publish a thorough analysis of the situation.

Albatron storms back with 10.2-inch ultrathin netbook
Nice timing, Albatron. With the whole world feeling that the time is right to enter the quaint and mysterious realm of "thin and light" netbooks, this just proves that you're totally vibing with money-hungry suits the world over. Truth be told, there's not much we know about the admittedly striking laptop above. It's got a 10.2-inch panel, weighs around 2.2 pounds and packs at least an audio input and output. We're promised that more images and even a video are on the horizon, so hold tight, vaquero.

Fujitsu Working on the Development of 'Venus' Processor
Fujitsu has just announced that it is currently working on the development of an eight-core chip entitled Sparc64 VIIIfx that is expected to become the world's fastest central processing unit. According to available details, the processor, codenamed 'Venus', is expected to be capable of delivering a performance equal to 128 billion calculations per second, which will make it 2.5 times faster than any of Intel's current high-end chips, the company says.
According to Fujitsu, the Venus processor has been designed to take advantage of the company's 45nm CMOS technology and is to be 2.5 times faster than what Intel currently has to offer. In addition, the upcoming processor will be 3 times faster than the chip maker's current SPARC64 VII, designed as a quad-core CPU on a 65nm process technology.

LG KF300 Review
The mobile phone world isn't always about pushing at the envelope to try to produce something flashier, cleverer and more trendy than what has gone before. Sometimes it is about producing a handset that does a straightforward job, and does so for an audience which lacks the flying fingers of today's touchscreen lovers.
That's what the KF300 from LG tries to be. A 'slim and stylish flip phone for those who prefer an extra large keypad and changeable font sizes', says LG's website.
