Sony launches VGC-LJ25L notebook/desktop PC hybrid
No, this isn’t a concept, it’s actually a new PC from Sony – though whether the VGC-LJ25L is a laptop or a desktop is open to question…

Yesterday we saw the first pictures of the Eee 901, which is an updated 900 model with a few noticeable differences exterior-wise, and with a new Intel Atom chip.
It appears June is the month for product announcements and launches, with the 901 due to hit retail on June the 3rd, for under $650 (£325) reportedly. Another…
ASUS updates Eee 900 with new motherboard, dubs thee Eee 901
The Eee 900 has been out for just a week, however ASUS has declared it’s time for an update. Meet the 901, which has slight changes to its exterior, and a new Intel Atom chip buried within the 8.9″ sub-notebook.
Other changes include several metal finishings to the casing, including on the screen hinge (which is also lacking the power button now), on the keyboard, and trackpad, plus two microphones. One other thing worth noting…
German kiddywink creates best PC mod ever – Chernobyl power plant
I like this youngster’s style, and the finished result has left me with a tongue drooling in desire, however it’s claimed he created this PC case mod due to the Chernobyl map in the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Why not the real thing?
He’s only 16, so wasn’t even born when reactor 4 exploded in 1986 – but his case mod is impeccable, and even opens up to reveal the innards…
Nokia's "highest production value" N-Gage game Reset Generation will be given away for free on PC
OK, so Nokia’s making a game called Reset Generation for its N-Gage platform. It used to be called “Project White Rock”, but now it has a proper name. And very nice it sounds too. Well done to all at the focus group.
Reset Generation is going to be the big-budget, blockbuster game that has everyone FLOCKING to N-Gage, apparently – but it’s also going to be given away for free on PC. It sounds like Nokia has gone INSANE.
This confusing and topsy-turvy distribution system…

Dell shows off their sexy green desktop PC – phwroar!
It’s not often you hear the words ‘desktop PC’ and ‘sexy’ side by side, unless you’re referring to an iMac, but by gosh – look at this Dell!
And it’s not often you hear ‘Dell’ and ‘sexy’ said next to each other, either. Want more to like about it? Well for starters, it consumes 70% less energy than the average desktop PC, with the mini tower being 81% smaller to boot, as well. Shipped in recycled…

LaCie has extended its Rugged Hard Disk range with the addition of a 500GB model. The Hitachi Travelstar 5K500 2.5-inch drive is protected by a scratch-resistant aluminum shell and a shock-resistant rubber bumper, and comes in two versions — both with USB 2.0 connector but one adding a FireWire 400/800…
Five of the best ASUS Eee PC rivals, plus all the news on rumoured Eee models…
Last year, the Eee PC from ASUS launched, cementing sub-10″ ‘budget’ notebooks in the history pages forever, as other major manufacturers scrambled to keep up with their phenomenal success. Even the gadget-models at I4U News snuggled it into their boobage, as you can see!
ASUS is keeping ahead of the game, with several models already released, and more out shortly. There’s the original 7″ 4G Eee, which had a 4GB flash drive and cost £219, the French model with integrated HSDPA, a touch-screen model with boosted internal storage, and the 8.9″ Eee 900 which also has an increased memory and storage, and importantly the option of Windows XP instead of the Linux OS. Not forgetting that strange report from a few weeks ago about a desktop Eee…
There are still rumours flying around about more models, with June pointed at as a likely month for them to launch an Atom-powered machine, instead of containing a Celereon processor like before. This will give it a longer battery life, and improved performance. A 10″ model is also being planned, according to ASUS, which will hopefully be out later this year.
In the meantime, let’s take a look at the various Eee PC bandwagon-jumpers, below…
