VAIO Z Series
January 20, 2010
The Sony VAIO Z Series coming out this year is the most powerful 13 inch laptop we have seen yet. It features an array of quad SSD hard drives in a Raid-0 configuration, which means your data can read/write parallelly, 6.2X faster than standard laptop drives. The Intel Core i7-620M processor and the NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M GPU are another rarity among 13 inchers. This tiny powerhouse is not the lightest 13 inch on the market (at just over 3 lbs) but it could be one of the fastest. Click here for more photos and tech specs.
Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds
December 21, 2008
The ThinkPad W700ds is the successor of the ThinkPad W700, only with another screen. The notebook itself features a WACOM digitizer built-in but more importantly it incorporates a secondary 10.6in LCD which works out really well for a tools and pallets.
You have a choice of Intel Core 2 Quad processors and NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M GPU. With a max of 8 GB of RAM and 960 GB of SSD/HDD. The primary 17-inch screen is supposedly the brightest on the market. The W700ds starts at $3,600, and weighs 11 pounds. Start saving for this now because it will ship in January. (Unless the date shifts, as that is known to happen.)

8.9in Asus Eee Set To Launch Early
April 8, 2008
Now it seems Asus will release their 8.9in version of the Eee laptop a month earlier than originally planned. The larger Eee is now set to be released in May instead of June. Unfortunately the slight change in releasing the notebook early will mean that Intel’s new Atom processor originally slated for the 8.9in Eee will not be used. However all other specs remain the same with both XP and linux version available, as well as various sizes of SSD’s up to 12gb. The price for the new 8.9in Eee is expected to start at $499
