TD Tips – the most stylish laptops money can buy
Last week saw the best digital cameras you can buy for under 200 quid but today on TD tips we’re getting a little more flash. What with the release of the £2,999 limited edition Sony Vaio Bond Z Series laptop today – I posed this question to the TD team:

Sony launches limited edition Bond Z-Series Vaio – Facebook stalk people like 007

Toshiba SCiB battery could start a revolution, assuming the revolving mechanism is battery powered
Toshiba is apparently in the process of inventing and testing a revolutionary new type of battery, that it claims will be available next year.

Hack makes Dell Inspirion Mini a little bit bigger inside
Clever hardware hacker JKKMobile has made a bit of a name for himself on the netbook “scene”. In the past he’s installed touchscreens, Ubuntu where it shouldn’t be and all sorts, and posted videos of his achievements on YouTube – all narrated with his excellent slightly-creepy east-European accent. Now he’s done it again with what looks to me, the layman, like a surprisingly simply hack – he’s upgraded the solid-state hard-disk inside the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, showing just how easy it is to replace the 4, 8 or 16GB SSD with one much bigger – on his video he goes for 32GB.

Sony continues to speed ahead with the rollout of its new VAIO range of PCs, with the introduction of the NS1 Series of notebook PCs and the JS1 Series of all-in-one desktops.
Sony states that the PCs are designed for everyday home use, which would suggest that they’re not the most powerful systems the company has ever produced. They’re no pushovers either.
The NS1 Series of notebook PCs feature an Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB hard drive, a Blu-ray combo drive, 15.4-inch X-black 1,280 x 800 LCD, and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 graphics unit…
Toshiba makes small thing bigger on the inside – 250GB SSD on the way this year
Toshiba’s bulking up its solid-state drive range and boosting the capacity of its 2.5″ model – so the cheap little netbooks of the world can come with more storage space without straining their little batteries too much.
The new 256GB solid-state drive will “roll out” of the Tosh factory in the fourth quarter of 2008, ideal for those exciting Christmas presents containing ultra-portable mini PCs. With a read speed of 120MBps and a write speed of 70MBps thanks to its 3.0-Gbps SATA connection…

Sony unveil the Vaio TT – the world's lightest laptop with Blu-ray
This is the 11.1″ Sony Vaio TT notebook PC. Nice, isn’t it? Sony reckons it’s the world’s lightest notebook PC that has a Blu-ray option. I’m not going to test them on that – I’ll just take them at their word. You’re not lying to me, are you Sony…?
