Acer certainly knows how to create stylish and glossy PCs in the market and recently they have unveiled their latest AspireRevo to the market. In fact, the AspireRevo is aimed at the low end market whereby when you just need a basic PC to do some mundane tasks, the AspireRevo is something you should seriously consider.
On the other hand, the AspireRevo is powered by the latest Atom platform and it comes with the following hardware configurations:
Atom 230 processor
2GB of RAM
250GB 2.5-inch HDD
My 2 cents:
So how much, you might be wondering? It would be retailed somewhere in the $299 region. Personally, I won’t think of getting such basic laptops as the performance is really sluggish. Just think of using back the old Pentium based single core processors, minus all the flashy features – that’s the Atom platform.
Just take a look at the Acer AspireRevo:

MSI recently unveiled their latest Wind Top AE1900 to the market at Hanover early this year and I can say the all-in-one PC is definitely a glossy one. Personally, I think that the Wind Top AE1900 is something you should purchase for your secretary as it would come with the sluggish Atom 230 or 330 CPU and I don’t think that it would be sufficient if you want to use it to play demanding games on your PC. However, I can see that the Wind Top AE1900 has a comfortable 18.5 inch display, which I think would be huge enough to get normal word processing tasks completed comfortably or even to browse the internet and view web pages using a bigger browser window.
And if you are wondering what the specifications for the Wind Top AE1900 are, here goes:
1,366 x 768 resolution touchscreen
Integrated GMA950 graphics
2GB of DDR2-533 RAM
160GB or 250GB hard drive
4-in-1 multicard reader
Dual-layer DVD writer
WiFi
Gigabit Ethernet
1.3 megapixel webcam
The MSI Wind Top AE1900 would be available for purchase for just $529.

Toshiba certainly got the brains to incorporate a chiclet type keyboard on their latest miniature Dynabook UX. Personally, I do have a thing for these type of keyboards as I think it’s really cool. I believe Sony might be the culprit, the one who introduced such keyboard into the market and now it’s catching on flame and every other computer manufacturers wants to include a chiclet keyboard.
And as for the Dynabook UX, it comes with these hardware, such as 1.6GHz N280 netbooks, the UX remains saddled with 945GSE graphics (not GN40), a 10.1-inch, LED backlit 1024 x 600 pixel resolution and 160GB disk.
If you are thinking that it might be cheap to purchase a netbook – you are indeed wrong as Toshiba is planning to sell their latest Dynabook UX for a whopping price of $600. Personally, I don’t think that anyone that are cash-strapped should get one of these netbooks as I think that you’ll be better off purchasing a dual-core instead.
Here’s how the Dynabook UX looks like:

LG is pretty smart by incorporating a high megapixel camera into their smartphone, dubbed as the Viewty Smart. In fact, I believe that this would be the first smartphone which comes packed with such a high megapixel camera – a whopping 8 megapixel capability.
On the other hand, the Viewty Smart also comes with WVGA display resolution, giving you sharp and crisp images. The camera also comes with ISO 1600 sensitivity, and DVD-quality video recording. Also, the latest Viewty Smart will have the newest S-Class user interface as well as other goodies such as 7.2Mbps HSDPA, integrated WiFi, AGPS, and 1.5GB microSD.
The Viewty Smart is just a mere 12.4mm thick and European consumers can look forward to purchase one with a contract starting next month.

Ever wanted your own lie detector? I think we all would some times, if not to just be able to call “BS” on your buddy when you know he’s telling a lie at a party. Before I introduce this nifty little gadget, let tell a joke. This is an old one I posted at Healthandmen.com while ago.
One day Kyle’s dad brought home a robot. The robot was special in that it could detect a lie and would slap the person who lied in the face.
Kyle returned late from school that day and his dad asked him, “Son why are you late from school?” Kyle answered, “Dad, we had extra classes today”. Much to his astonishment the robot jumped up and slapped Kyle on his face. His dad told him, “Son this robot is special in that it can detect a Lie and will then slap the person who lied. Now come on tell me the truth. “Why are you late?” “Dad, I went to a movie”, replied Kyle. “Which movie?”, his father asks. “The Ten Commandments”, says Kyle. Immediately, Kyle got a slap on the face from the robot. “Sorry Dad, I went to see the movie Sex Queen”. “Shame on you son, when I was your age I never watched obscene movies or misbehaved” Immediately, the dad gets a tight slap on the face from the robot.
Hearing the last sentence, Kyle’s mother comes walking out of the kitchen and sarcastically says to her husband, “After all he is your son!!!”
