Xperia X1 Slides Open to Reveal a Landscape-Mode Keyboard

Xperia X1's large (3-inch) touchscreen (see previous slide) exemplifies another handset trend. But it also lets you navigate via an optical joystick underneath the display. When closed, this Sony Ericsson's metal-finish rear case shows nothing but the lens of its 3.2-megapixel camera (above, left). however the X1 does have an unusual design feature: It slides open ways in a gentle arc (above, right) to reveal a roomy portrait-mode keyboard. As with other sideways sliders, the display adjusts automatically.

Asus Eee PC 4G Surf Revealed

Just a few months ago Asus rocked the ultraportable market with the release of the EEE PC 701. At the beyond-reasonable price of $399, the 701 came armed with a verstile Linux operating system and tons of handy applications.

Now Asus has released a new version of the tiny wonder. The EEE PC surf 4G ditches the glitchy webcam of its predecessor and simultaneously sheds a few bucks as well. For $349, the coffee house-bound user gets a two-pound portable with a seven-inch display and 4GB solid state drive. We loved the 701, so we're pleased to say the 4G doesn't land too far from the tree. Check out our full reviewhere

Hands-on with the MacBook Air

First Impressions

It's really, really thin. Like nano thin. And yet the Macbook AIr packs in a full size keyboard and one of the biggest and most versatile touchpads we've ever used. We spent a few minutes with the thinnest notebook on earth and came away mighty impressed with its design and snappy performance. You do make a few trade-offs for the size, but we imagine most prospective buyers won't care.

The MacBook Air is Lighter Than
The aluminum body feels rock solid and yet super light. there's a lot of computer inside this 3-pound chassis. And the keyboard has plenty of depth despite the system's 0.76-inch profile.

Vibrant Display
The13.3- inch LED display is positively brilliant. The viewing angles were superb, and photos looked very crisp. Another nice touch is the ambient light sensor, which adjust the backlight both on the keyboard and the display .Air 5.

MacBook Air Specifications
In terms of specs, the Macbook Air is certainly no slouch. The base $1,799 model ships with a 1.6-GHz processor. 2GB of RAM. and a 1.8-inch 80GB hard drive. The 64GB solid drive is $999 just by itself, so you'll want to think twice before plunking down the extra cash. We'll be asking Apple if its 5-hour battery life claim is for the SSD model only or the hard drive model, too.

The top-of-the-line configuration features a 1.8-GHz processor and the 64GB SSD. That brings the total to a whopping $3,098. That's basically executives-only territory, but certainly in line with other lightweight machines with similar specs.
