Sony has recently announced the launch of a new all-in-one touchscreen desktop, the Sony VAIO J series.

The PC has a 21.5-inch Full HD VAIO Display Plus touchscreen that is using a intuitive fingertip technology and features a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The VAIO J series is powered by an Intel Core i3-350M 2.26 GHz processor, backed up by 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM and an Nvidia GeForce 310M graphics chip.

The all-in-one desktop also comes with a 500GB HDD, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, DVD burner, webcam and other. The Sony VAIO J series is now available for pre-order and it will be available to buy from the online store later this month for $900.

Produced by French company, Chirita, the Louis XVI computer blends perfectly with elegant offices and living rooms.

To celebrate their company’s 10th anniversary, the French designers from Chirita have created an exclusive desktop computer inspired by the opulent era of Louis the XVI. Chirita has made a name for its self, by creating unique high-tech devices, disguised as elegant pieces of furniture, crafted out of brass, bronze, alabaster, malachite and lapis lazuli.

Louis XVI is a majestic system cleverly disguised in the display itself and featuring an elegant keyboard and mouse. Decked with gold leaf and pearls, Chirita’s Louis the XVI retails at € 13,000 ($17,800). Not a high price to pay, for a trip back in time.

Acer announced it will be launching a new improved version of its orange gaming rig, the Aspire G, code name “Predator”

Launched last year, the ASG7710-A41 gaming PC was one lean, mean gaming machine, but the new 20.7 kg-heavy ASG7750-A64 promises to make his predecessor forgotten. Apart from the cool-looking PC-case that turned from mostly orange to mostly black, changes include a more powerful Core i7-960 @3.20GHz processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 graphics-card.

The Acer Aspire G 7750-A64 Predator will come out in February, in Japan, at a price of 289,000 yen ($3,170)

Thanks to designer Geoffrey Cooper’s Toshiba RX tablet , nurses can finally say goodbye to those paper-written records.

Walking around the hospital with a clipboard and documenting cases can be a tough task and there’s even the risk of deteriorating the written records. But thanks to the Toshiba RX tablet pc, that needn’t be a problem anymore. The tablet allows medics to document and diagnose cases on the go, as well as communicate with each other more easily.

The Toshiba RX comes with a docking station and keyboard for doctors who enjoy desk work. The docking station acts as a charging system for the tablet pc, which features a removable and washable rubber casing. Now you don’t need to worry about infections.

Recompute was presented to the world this time last year, but only as a revolutionary concept. Now the company behind it announced the first cardboard computers went into production.

There’s no news yet on when we can expect the first Recompute PCs to be delivered on the market, but the fact they’re mass-produced is good enough, for now. The concept behind Recompute is as simple as it is efficient and environment-friendly. Everything but the motherboard, RAM, processor and power-supply is made from recycling materials, thus keeping metal and electronic use minimal.

If your Recompute PC breaks down or becomes obsolete, you can simply send its components to be recycled while the cardboard case biodegrades over time. How cool is that!

The USB Implementation Forum (USB-IF) certified the  ASUS P6X58D Premium as the first motherboard to officially support USB 3.0 technology.

As of January 5, 2010, The ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard went into the history books as the first motherboard to receive USB 3.0 certification, or SuperSpeed USB compliance. Compared to USB 2,0 technology motherboards, ASUS P6X58D Premium is able to transfer data up to 10 times faster. This is sure to come in handy when you need to transfer large files and rich media from today’s digital devices.

The ASUS P6X58D Premium also supports the soon to be released 32nm 6-Core CPU (Intel Gulftown i7-980X).
