Lenovo, seeking to set itself apart in a crowded field of laptop competitors, is releasing what the company says is the first dual-screen notebook computer, reports Reuters.
It is one of several laptops that the world's number-four personal computer maker is debuting this week at the Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas.
Although overall PC demand has been hurt by the global economic slowdown, notebooks have continued to show strength.
MSI unwraps netbook
MSI has introduced its anticipated Wind U115 - a netbook that incorporates an SSD and a hard drive, reports Register Hardware.
It's also equipped with Intel's 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor, a palmtop-oriented processor that's finding favour with netbook makers, including Dell, which uses the part in its Inspiron Mini Notebook.
But the real innovation here is the SSD/HDD combo. Models come with either 8GB or 16GB of SSD and 120GB or 160GB, respectively, of magnetic media storage space. MSI's notion is that the operating system boots quickly off the solid-state drive, leaving the HDD for data, spinning up only when it's needed.
Apple implements Nvidia-based graphics
Supporting previous rumours, Apple will likely unveil a new line of iMacs with previously rumoured Nvidia-based graphics and may introduce a new 28-inch model based on Intel's i7 Core platform, according to a new report, states MacNN.
The report says Apple is prepping the release of four new iMac computers, including two 20-inch iMacs that will be offered with an Nvidia integrated-GPU chipset based on the MCP79 design.
In addition, the report indicates at least one of the iMacs will include the mobility GeForce 9600-series discrete GPU, which will allow the computer to use one or both GPU chips to accelerate graphics and other system performance.
