Diamonds adorn Zeus PC
The world's most expensive PC, dubbed Jupiter, has a case of solid platinum with diamonds that have been arranged to mimic astrological constellations, says Register Hardware.
Manufactured by Zeus, the PC contains Intel's 3GHz E6850 Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB of DDR 2 memory and a 1TB hard drive. It also includes a dual Blu-ray/HD DVD drive.
The PC runs on Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and ships with a 24-inch 1920 x 1200 resolution monitor. Both PCs are available now in Japan.
Asus reveals 1TB notebook
The Asus M70 might be almost as good as a desktop computer, because it's the world's first notebook with one terabyte of storage, reports HTLounge.
Housed inside the Asus M70 is a pair of hard drives, providing a total of 1TB of space. This is supposed to be enough room for 1 000 hours of video, more than 350 feature-length movies, or 250 000 songs.
The Asus multimedia notebooks come with high-definition audio and video, a "sleek LCD cover made by exclusive Asus Infusion technology", full-size keyboard with separate numeric keypad, and Hitachi's Rotational Vibration Safeguard technology as an anti-shake and anti-shock measure.
Low-cost notebooks lead
Asus notebooks have been dominating the Amazon.com bestseller list for notebook computers, says FT.com.
Unlike the powerful $1 000-plus MacBooks, the Asus notebooks were priced at between $300 and $400 for the basic Eee laptop.
The Eee is being seen as more indicative of the future of computers than the MacBook Air, the wafer-thin laptop unveiled to gasps by Steve Jobs, Apple chief executive, at the Macworld trade fair this month.
