For that price, you’ll get an 11.6-inch notebook powered by a dual-core E-350 1.6GHz processor, with Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit running the show.

If you’re looking for something a bit cheaper, Amazon is offering a lower-end model that features 2GB of RAM and 320GB of storage for $50 less. Your wait is over.

Fusion CA-IP500 Car Stereo eats your iPod

Fusion CA-IP500 Car Stereo eats your iPodCar stereos that are also iPod-friendly are nothing new. Thing is, we’re mostly talking about a dock, with your iPod sitting in front for thieves to spot. The CA-IP500 from Fusion Electronics is different. The face flips open so you can insert your iPod like you would a Cassette tape.

The device will work with the iPod Touch Gen1 & 2, the iPod Classic Gen5, 6 & 7 and the iPod Nano Gen2,3 & 4. Once in it’s slot, you control the iPod via joystick and touch wheel, just like on the iPod. You’ll also get a dot matrix OLED display, SRS Wos sound shaping, AM/FM tuner, 7-band equalizer, security code, aux-in port and of course it will charge your player while it’s inside. It will cost you $349, so while it isn’t cheap, it may help you avoid a broken window and a missing iPod.
