We talked a little bit earlier of a SATA HDD Enclosure with a touchscreen, but this time we will talk about a “simple” aluminum HDD enclosure from Transcend, which is available in both 120GB or 250GB (SATA HDD), and can be connected to your PC thanks to a USB connector

While most of the laptop makers are busy popping out Santa Rosa-equipped laptops in the market, Acer seems to have some different plans. The company’s design team has worked with BMW Group Designworks USA to launch four new luscious, glossy laptops that come with a lustrous interior. The new lineup dubbed Gemstone includes four new models, the Aspire 5720, the 5920, 7720 and the high-end 9920. The last one rocks a 20-inch display, camera, digital TV tuner and HD DVD drive. Moreover, these four machines are the first to incorporate Dolby Home Theatre Virtual Surround-approved while a few of them will come with the option of Intel’s TurboMemory technology codenamed Robson. Forget the innards; the only thing that Acer wants here is to offer its customer some beautifully designed machines. There is no word on pricing at the moment.

Generally we reserve this feature for already-released consumer products, but with everyone now the proud owner of “the last gadget I’ll ever need,” we figure that we’re forced to look in a new direction for devices to collectively critique. And with the hundred-dollar-and-change OLPC XO finally in full-scale production, what better candidate to help us stray from the traditional format? Keep in mind, though, as you’re tearing the charitable unit apart, that it’s not really meant for the readers and writers of Engadget (at least not yet), and therefore you’re gonna look pretty silly suggesting Alienware-esque specs for a project whose goal is financial prudence. That being said, there are still a number of changes we can think of that would benefit the kiddies while still keeping the green plastic wonder under budget. Like, how about a keyboard with some tactility that one can actually touch type on? And while we love the philosophy behind open-source software, the sad truth is that you need to at least be familiar with Windows in the business world — and with Microsoft offering $3 basic installs to developing countries, why not let these machines dual-boot? Finally — and this one is for you conservative types over at the News Agency of Nigeria — NickNeg and friends should probably stop wasting time with those ineffective filters and simply make the machines incapable of displaying flesh tones instead.
Sony’s made no secret of its plans to give its VAIO SZ line of laptops a Santa Rosa refresh, but it looks like the company’s now let loose a few more details, including the all important word on pricing and availability. In addition to that Santa Rosa boost, these ones (dubbed the SZ6 series) all come equipped with 13.3-inch LED backlit displays, along hybrid hard drives boasting 160GB of traditional storage and 256MB of flash memory. According to Laptoping.com, a range of different pre-configured and build-to-order models are available, coming equipped with your choice of Core 2 Duo T7500, T7700 or T7250 processors, and an option of standard 120GB, 160GB, or 200GB hard drives if you’re not quite ready to hop on the hybrid bandwagon. Look for these to set you back between $2,060 and $2,700 depending on the configuration, with them apparently set to ship on August 1st.
Let’s just jump to the point — the current fastest dual core processor from Intel for the consumer is the Core 2 Extreme X6800 that runs at 2.93 GHz on a 1066 MHz FSB.
