If you want a tablet-convertible notebook, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X200 Tablet is one of the best

First it was the laptop then the nomenclature changed to notebook. Much later when these pint sized books came we changed the name to netbooks.And now Dell(Inspiron 6400 Battery) has added on to it and come up with an entirely new name—the Educational Netbook.

Here’s a stunner of a data point: Apple is selling more than 200,000 iPads per week. Which means, according to RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky, that sales of the company’s new device have outpaced those of the Mac in the United States and are closing in on those of the iPhone 3GS.

If you want a tablet-convertible notebook, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X200 Tablet is one of the best. More than a tablet though, it’s a complete solution for anyone who requires on-the-go connectivity in a small and sturdy laptop.

Apple’s latest 15in MacBook Pro is the first laptop we’ve tested to use one of Intel’s latest Core i7 processors – in this case a 2.66GHz i7-620M. This new chip only has dual processing cores, while previous Core i7’s were all quad-core, yet another infuriating and confusing twist in Intel’s barmy chip naming strategy.

Improving on excellence is never a simple task, and it’s even tougher with a laptop as good as Sony(VGP-BPS2A Battery)’s Z Series: indeed, the VAIO Z51 already sits on our A-List as the ultraportable of choice.

There’s also a 320GB or 500GB SATA hard drive, 4-in-1 card reader, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, HDMI / VGA outputs, twin USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA socket, audio in / out, Ethernet and a “film print coating” over the palm rest area to minimize wear. Mum’s the word on a price and release date, but we suspect we’ll know a bit more on both of those points when we touch down at Computex in a fortnight.

Now that pretty much every Android phone includes free turn-by-turn spoken directions, one that specializes in navigation seems like a tough sell. But the Garminfone, as the second device to hit the U.S. from Garmin-ASUS , has the goods for those who spend a lot of time in the car, offering a friendly interface, real-time traffic, and an included windshield mount. And although the Garminfone runs a dated version of Android (1.6), it integrates GPS more deeply than its competitors.

Somewhere inside the Acer Timeline’s narrow frame, a team of Taiwanese engineers have managed to find space for not one, but two graphics processors (GPUs).

The new mobile PC is known as the Toshiba(Toshiba Satellite P30 Battery) Satellite P505 and is an 18.4-inch notebook that was first showcased at this year’s international Consumer Electronics Show. It is based on an Intel Core i7-720QM central processing unit, with a clock frequency of 1.6GHz. This CPU is accompanied by 4GB of DDR3 memory, as well as an NVIDIA GeForce 310M discrete GPU, with 512MB of memory.

Apple on Tuesday beefed up its plain vanilla MacBook with a tweaked CPU, more storage and longer battery life, among other things.The upgrade comes one month after Cupertino refreshed its MacBook Pro line and just weeks before its World Wide Developers Conference, to be held in San Francisco.
