Lenovo AMD-based G455 and G555 set to arrive in the states

Posted in Lenovo by Conner Flynn on February 11th, 2010

Today Lenovo announced the forthcoming availability of two new additions to its G series. We don’t have full specs yet, but the G455 and G555 boast 14 and 15 inch screens with 16:9 screen ratios and both probably feature 1366 x 768 resolution.

Both will have your choice of Athlon II and dual-core Turion II processors, with ATI Radeon HD Mobility graphics. Both will be available in March for the budget price of $449. Lenovo is hoping that you buy these instead of a netbook due to screen size.

We haven’t heard much interesting news from Toshiba lately, but today Toshiba UK has announced the new Satellite U500-1EX, a portable laptop with a 13.3” multi-touch screen. The Satellite U500-1EX feature multi-touch capabilities and uses Microsoft’s Touch Pack for Windows 7 which allows users to flick through files and folders just by touching the screen.

It also features some other touch controls, like tap and double-tap, drag, press and hold, and flick and rotate. If you like getting all touchy feely with your laptop, why not give it a go for $889?

Posted in Lamps by Conner Flynn on February 10th, 2010

Just a few days ago we showed you the Recycled Apple iBook G4 Clock. Now we have a Recycled iMac G4 Lamp to go along with it, made from recycled Mac parts. It makes quite a geek statement.

The Recycled iMac G4 Lamp was made from the base of an iMac G4 that had died, but as you can see it was given new life. You better hurry if you want one as there is only one available. It’s just $125 from Etsy. Totally worth it if you are an Apple fanboy.

Sneezing electronics are the future

Posted in Radio by Conner Flynn on February 10th, 2010

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s how dust gets sucked into laptop vents thanks to the cooling fan. It can clog things up and affect performance and shorten the life of electronics in general. We need to take a cue from this radio. Once every six months, it sneezes, getting rid of dust that has accumulated inside.

It gives it a longer life and keeps things running cooler. Therefore sneezing is the future of electronics. As long as that sneeze doesn’t come with a cough and a runny nose anyway. I ain’t playing doctor to my radio.

My Pet Speaker lets your animals rock out

Posted in Pets by Shane McGlaun on February 10th, 2010

We all know that many pets like dogs have hearing that is much better than human hearing. That means that if the music you listens too hurts your ears, the dog’s ears probably really hurt. Pet Acoustics has announced a new device for pet owners called the My Pet Speaker that lets you play music for animals at levels that won’t hurt their hearing.

The device has a 3.5mm input and will work with any input source including CD players, iPods, iPhones and more. The speaker uses an omnidirectional design to provide quality sound anywhere around the speaker. The driver is a 4-inch unit and it has a frequency response of 200Hz ~ 12KHz.

Apple may lower price of the iPad

Posted in iPad by Conner Flynn on February 8th, 2010

We all love a bargain, and with the prices of Apple gear being what they are, you would love to save some money right? According to Credit Suisse analyst Bill Shope, Apple executives have said that the pricing will be “nimble” on the iPad. It depends on the demand.

Now that’s not the same as an official confirmation that there will be a price drop, but it makes a lot of sense. If they lower the $499 price point they might actually have competitors worried. A lower price would certainly help any fence-sitters make up their minds to buy.

Not sure if that will wake you or if you will think it’s just another geek dream though. The clock is battery operated and has a snooze button as well. Just $27.
