Look, a touchscreen laptop from Dell! Okay, that’s not big news, but it’s news nonetheless. The Studio Touch 1558 seems to pack in a Core i5 processor, Windows 7 Home Premium OS and 320GB hard disk for a $999 starting price. The Dell Studio Touch 1749 also made an appearance and has a MSRP of $1049, but there’s very little to no details on these 2 new lappies, so we’ll leave it at that until there’s a press release or something like that.

More news from HP, huh? You bet! The successor to the tough 2730p is officially the 2740p. What new goods does it bring to the world? Well, if you speak capacitive multitouch, that’s one thing on the 12.1-inch 1200 x 800 pixel display. And if you like Core i5 and Core i7 processors too, they’ll make your day. The screen is anti-glare and has an optional outdoor view, and you can use this computer in 4 ways: with the bundled pen, your finger, the keyboard, or a kick-butt combination of everything aforementioned. So when this comes out in April to the US for $1600, you might ask yourself, “How easily can I break it?”. Answer: It’s up to MIL-STD 810G military standards. That should do it. More PR after the jump.

No real offense here to the business minded HP ProBook-s series, but hey, it’s only now that things got interesting. HP is releasing different models, beginning with the 13.3-inch 4320s to 15.6-inches and even a heavier-duty 17.3-inch 4720s. The y introduce Core i3/i5/i7 processors to the family, so there’s a lot of power to be used here. Other configuration options include the $900 15.6-inch ProBook 4520s with a Core i5 CPU and a 500GB 7,200RPM hard drive, which seems like one of the good deals here that I could take for myself. And if you’re into a little gaming, have no fear, because you can get ATI’s Mobility Radeon HD 5350 GPU on any of the new laptops. As for colors they come in a “caviar” brown or a reddish “bordeaux” which are both matte. Other new snazzy stuff HP throws in is the ClickPad and HP’s exclusive Day Starter software, which lets you look at your Outlook calendar while your PC is booting up. These awesome lappies will be available in the next few weeks. PR (press release) after the break.
HP Probook-s Series
Way back in 2006 when Dell bought Alienware, the key exces bailed out and started something new: they created a gaming computer company that would make Alienwares the way they were supposed to be made. And the EON18 is their 18-inch gaming powerhouse: 18.4″ full HD widescreen, dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 208M GPUs, 7.1 high-def audio, up to 3 250GB SSDs, and sports a Core 2 Extreme Quad QX9300 now, but on Monday is stepping up to a Core i7. The laptop is extremely customizable; in fact you can place your name or logo in place of ORIGIN’s logo. Another thing that probably won’t last, but is special since ORIGIN is new: customer service on-demand and the lifetime labor guarantee. Hopefully ORIGIN will go high places. Press release after the break.
Oh and as for the starting price? $1,785 United States Dollars. [OriginPC]
When ASUS unveiled the G73 at CES, they didn’t talk much; no pricing or release date. But now, you can pick up this 8-pound beast for $1449,99 on Newegg. What do you get for your 1500 bucks you say? A17.3-inch 1920 x 1080 display, a Core i7 720QM processor, an 8GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, some tasty ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics, and a DVD burner, among other standard features, all in an angular-shaped laptop. Not bad. [Via Laptoping]
Starting the day off here was a pretty slow start, but now with our first impressions on the new Arrandale chips on the Dell Inspiron 15, I think things are a little less boring now. So far, so good with the new Core i5 processor; closing and opening applications are a thing to marvel at, which is complemented by the 4GB of DDR3 RAM and 15.6-inch HD 720p screen, despite it creating some amounts of glare. It’s truly a step up for Dell. For its size it comes well equipped with an ATi 4330 graphics card and HDMI port. Keyboard is comfy, even with the added numpad. Expect the full review later this month, but in the meantime, feast your eyes on the gallery after the break. Oh, and thanks to Dell for sending this thing in.
With all of the buzz surrounding the M11x, the smaller sibling of the Alienware gaming notebook line, the M15x had to eventually come in and show which notebook can really perform. The Alienware M15x is all about power. And only power. It weighs a full 9 pounds with a 9-cell battery installed. And a side note for you all: you’ve probably read a thousand reviews of the M15x with a Core i7 processor, but have you ever read one with a 2.0 GHz Intel Core i7? Not many of those for sure. That’s why it’s the most powerful (and awesome looking) ever featured on LaptopMemo. Full review of course is after the jump.
If you need some cheering up (or if you want to go colorblind), then boy, has Sony got the remedy for you! The new Sony VAIO E-Series seem to be the perfect laptop that’s “fashionable” without breaking the bank. Starting at $800 you get an Intel Core i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, 500GB hard drive, HDMI out, Bluetooth, 15.5-inch screen, and Windows 7.
This base model starts shipping in March, but future models will have the option for a Core i5 processor, Blu-Ray, and up to 8GB RAM. All models feature a “WEB” button which allows you to open a web browser without booting into Windows itself. As for the color options, you should be satisfied: “five translucent, high-gloss colors— Caribbean Green, Iridescent Blue, Coconut White, Hibiscus Pink and Lava Black— and three matte colors—Maple Brown, Silver White and Gunmetal. Subtle patterns can be found on the lids, of the glossy models, with the palm rest mirroring the color of the PC adding a splash of brightness to the unit.”
So yeah, you can even color the keyboard to your color fantasy liking. The Core i3 models are for pre-order now, and the Core i5 ones will be revealed on February 7th. Battery life should be under 3 hours and weight under six pounds. PR after the break. [Via Electronista]
MSi released the X600 as the larger cousin of the X340, a line of ultraportables that are slim, inexpensive, and look very good for their price range. To phrase it all up in a simple sentence, the X-Series line is a “poor man’s Macbook Air”. Although the price is much lower than its main competitors, the X600 has power and affordability that has yet to be matched by other ultra-sleek computers. That of course, does not mean everything is “happy go lucky”. Nevertheless, the X600 packs a serious punch.
Those are the main specs of the Sony VAIO Z Series coming to Europe in March. Meaning that sometimes after, the US should get it as well. This laptop is made out of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber! So it weighs only 3.2 pounds, and has a screen size of 13.1 inches, but can squeeze in a Core i7 CPU, and 4 SSDs in RAID 0 configuration. Oh, did I mention it had NVIDIA graphics and a 1920 x 1080 resolution? This is probably one of the most impressive designs in a computer for a long time. Although for all of this goodness, pricing is a concern, and there isn’t even one yet, but there are possible cheaper configurations in the shot after the break.
