Hard Drives come with preinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium in 250 GB, 320 GB or 500 GB capacity. Three USB ports adorn either notebook, and it is an optical DVD drive. A VGA output for both. There is support for up to 4 GB of RAM, either in the CR600 or CX600 if MSI does not specify what the standard specification.

ASUS has a sick looking transformer version of one of its gaming notebooks. Unfortunately you can not exactly go to the store and buy.

The Transformers Edition Laptop from ASUS is based on the G60 gaming laptop, with a 15.6 “HD display, a quad-core processor, an Nvidia GeForce GTX GPU hot 260m, and other information due a computer that all powerful robot mimics. It even has a turbo button for instant overclocking. Rumor has it that this model is a voice activated command “transform” to enable this feature (Author’s note: The rumor is entirely based on the hopes and Dreams of this author).

The disadvantage is that it was an ad hoc production as a prize for people who pre-register with Odeon Cinemas in the United Kingdom.

This is by far the most interesting looking laptop cooler I have around. Unfortunately it is in your laptop, so that although it looks very good, it is not seeing a whole lot. The strange shape of this USB cooler is inspired by an octopus. Although I would say it’s incredibly debatable as to whether it actually looks like an octopus. It is at least a draw the attention, while it keeps your laptop much more cool.

It has a double fan, so will hopefully be enough for laptops, which tend to burn hot. If it is not actually used, it can be folded for easy storage. This also means that it is much easier to slip it in your laptop bag and take it with you when you’re on. To the fans in operation, then plug it into the USB port on your laptop. It is a pretty basic gadget, but it makes things much easier for you.

A handful Netbook makers ship their laptops with simple black slipcase. Some not. And there are certainly a number of shops, third slip covers on Amazon or eBay. But you know what? Not one of them has the geek CRED this handmade NES controller Netbook sleeves.

Flickr users mendicon says his girlfriend, which is the case for the Acer Aspire One Netbook. The case seems to be felt, and it does not look like it has a lot of cushioning. Thus, while it is likely to hold the computer, scuffed and scratched, it is not to protect the laptop from damage, if you look out the window of a moving vehicle or something. And unfortunately, I’m pretty sure you do not use it to play Zelda. But it’s still pretty awesome.
