The Ultimate Lenovo Netbook of the year 2010 – Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid! We heard hybrid car that can drive on the road and sea, but this is the first time we hear Hybrid Netbook.

This netbook has 11.6-inch multitouch screen. It comes with Intel Core2Duo processor and 16GB SSD to run Windows 7 Home Premium and Lenovo’s customized Skylight Linux interface. Two OS in one hardware, that’s why we call it hybrid.

The coolest part is only when you pull the screen from its shell, it will then morph to the customized Linux OS with multitouch keyboard work like tablet. By the way, we can’t see it act in real until June this year!

Although laptop is so common nowadays, some people still stick to their desktop. Desktop still best value for money for user that do not travel a lot. Apple iMac is one of the best desktop computer!

From 17-inches few years ago to 19-inches ( I have one at home) and now 27-inches LED-backlit HD monitor. 17-inches monitor not suitable for movie lover anymore, since HD getting common.

Let’s see what you get in iMac 27-inch:

CPU: 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Display: 27″ with 2560 x 1440 resolution

Memory: 4GB DDR3

Hard Drive: 1TB

Graphic: ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics 256MB

It comes with wireless keyboard and magic mouse standard. Magic mouse not that sensitive, yet still awesome.

To me, 27-inches monitor is like a small TV. Is it good to face 27-inches monitor in on hand long distance for whole day work? Maybe our spectacular will get thicker after use iMac.

Price at ~ $1699 USD.

Apple iPod Touch 3rd Generation 64GB

AhTim — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 02:17:29 +0000

I have won two set of iPod Touch over the last 2 years. First one was iPod touch 16GB 1st generation, then iPod touch 8GB 2nd Generation early this year.

iPod touch has changed my life in listening music, play games, watch video clips and most importantly – Internet surfing on WiFi. No other portable device can compete the speed of Internet surfing to iPod touch!

Now it comes to the 3rd generation – huge 64GB storage!

What’s New in iPod touch 3rd Gen? Other than larger storage, it features iPhone’s voice control, graphic enhancement, and faster processor.

Disappointment is it still does not have a build-in camera. If you’re looking for a perfect iPod touch, I’ll suggest you to wait for the next upgrade with camera.

Price at ~ $399 USD. Available in 8GB and 32GB model too,for cheaper price.
