These Thinkpads may look like your boring tray-table business notebook but what you dont know is that the Windows 7 14.1-inch capacitive touchscreen laptop is the first capable of four finger multitouch and it’s fingertastic!

ThinkPad X200 and T400s

Due to hit next month is a wave of Windows 7 machines and Lenovo’s getting a little jump with a multitouch update to the X200 convertible and a new multitouch version of the T400s. A faster Core 2 Duo processors into the mix along with a two-finger capacitive multitouch screen, the new X200 Tablet is pretty much what you’d expect, butmultitouch T400s update, since the screen is actually a little nicer and can register up to four fingers. To take advantage of all this new functionality, Lenovo’s bundling in a new app called SimpleTap, which brings up an icon-based control panel for settings like volume, screen brightness, and other system functions, as well as quick app and web bookmark launchers.

All this pretty cool stuff will cost you: the multitouch T400s will start at $1,999, while the multitouch X200 will open at $1,729. (There’s also a new X200 outdoor screen option for $1,779.)

Apple MacBook Wheel: Laptop With No Keyboard

admin — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 05:38:02 +0000

As I was stumbling through news on the first week of January, I reached Onion News Network’s site with a video of the new Apple MacBok Wheel, the Laptop with no Keyboard. It is one of Apple’s latest inventions, and it is currently creating raves in the Internet. A revolutionary laptop that has a sleek touch sensitive click wheel instead of a keyboard.

As I was watching the video, I can’t stop myself from giggling with one of the remarks from a Mac lover that tested the Apple MacBook Wheel, quoted as saying “I never really realized how much I hated the keyboard until I saw this thing”. He took 45 minutes trying to write a simple email to a friend and he now concludes that he loves the MacBook Wheel because of the absence of the keyboard, and it is from Apple.

My personal verdict, though I have not used the said product, IT WILL NOT be easy to use specially if you’re more into documents, spreadsheets, coding and programming. This product is not for those people. Imagine ,that person in the video took 45 minutes to type a simple email, how about if he tried to code a complex program? Qouted from the video, “It remains to be seen if the wheel will catch on in the business world where people use computers for actual work and not just dicking around.” ^_^
