Crafted to reflect the ultra-sporty and aggressive look of Automobili Lamborghini models, the VX7 is available in distinct orange, black and carbon fiber colors.

The ASUS-Automobili Lamborghini VX7 features the power of quad-core 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7 processors and clocks in as the world’s first notebook with discrete NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 460M graphics, supported by a massive 3GB of dedicated video memory.

Users also benefit from a speedy solid-state hybrid drive of up to 1.25TB in capacity, rated at approximately 10,000rpm for super-fast access and performance.
Bullish approach to eye-catching design

The VX7 represents the culmination of the ASUS-Automobili Lamborghini co-branding joint venture, delivering a premium product for discerning consumers who hold luxurious craftsmanship and advanced technology in equally high regard.

Numerous design touches double as highly practical performance enhancers and tributes to Automobili Lamborghini engineering and style. One clear example of this are the cooling vents at the rear of the VX7, which enable superior heat dissipation just as they echo the unique taillights and exhaust assemblies of Automobili Lamborghini supercars.

This design philosophy applies equally to the power button, which has been styled as an engine start key, leather-trimmed palm rests and the light but durable aluminum construction.

The VX7 is offered in three classic Automobili Lamborghini colors ― orange, black and carbon fiber. All are directly licensed and formulated to retain the iconic and attention-grabbing appearance of the fabled Italian powerhouses.

As one of the most capable notebooks ever produced by ASUS, the VX7 stays faithful to its Automobili Lamborghini pedigree with sheer performance for gaming, multimedia, online entertainment and productivity.

Dedicated graphics for hardcore gaming and multimedia come from the world’s first NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 460M GPU on a notebook, offering native DirectX® 11 and aided by the inclusion of an unprecedented 3GB of video memory.

With this high-end specification, the VX7 becomes a formidable gaming and entertainment platform. ASUS also offers a solid-state hybrid hard drive for storage (up to 1.25TB in capacity), which reaches access speeds of approximately 10,000rpm. Maintaining the Automobili Lamborghini “super veloce” spirit, the VX7 ships with USB 3.0 as standard for up to ten times the data transfer speeds of USB 2.0.

If you are looking for a different and innovative approach to personal computing, look no further. With its two all-point multi-touch displays Acer ICONIA offers an enhanced content consumption experience and brings the interaction with the tablet to a new level.

Multimedia, entertainment, communication, web browsing and office productivity seamlessly flow across the dual screen, allowing users to set the best scenario for what they are doing. To improve readability of web sites or documents, the window can be spread across both screens.

But the dual screen also means you can do one thing in one screen and something else entirely on the other: you can browse a website on the top screen and view the contents of your favourite folder on the bottom one or you can watch a video on the top screen and check out your multimedia library in the other.

“We took this insight and created a range of easy to use devices with touch technology including Smartphones, Notebooks, AIO PCs, Tablet and our latest addition, the ICONIA Touchbook: this level of commitment to touch technology is something no other PC vendor can compete with.” states Jim Wong Acer Inc. Vice President and ITGO President. “The Intel® Core™ i5 processor together with our experience with touch technology has allowed us to completely remap the user experience to create a far more natural interaction with our devices.

“Intel is proud that our close collaboration with Acer has helped to deliver the world’s first 10 finger multi-touch dual-screen notebook with an exciting and innovative end-user experience, powered by the Intel® Core™ i5 processor,” said Mooly Eden, vice-president of PC Client Group, Intel Corporation. “Combining the adaptable and energy efficient performance of the Intel® Core™ i5 processor with Acer’s Iconia provides new and immersive ways to seamlessly view and interact with your favorite videos, photos, websites and movies”.

Both 14-inch displays have HD 1366×768 resolution, high-brightness Acer CineCrystal™ LED-backlit TFT LCDs and take advantage of cutting-edge technologies supporting all-point multi-touch for precise on-screen input. Protected by the ultra-thin yet durable Gorilla® Glass, the displays are scratch and fingerprint resistant, easier to clean and offer the same touch functionality.

ICONIA is designed to provide the optimal all-point multi-touch experience on a dual-display tablet. This is why Acer equipped it with a full range of intuitive and easy to use features and applications that fully exploit the countless possibilities of multi-touch technology. The starting point to launch ICONIA’s touch features and controls as well as applications is the Acer Ring.

The Acer Ring appears simply by placing five fingers on the screen and making a grab gesture. The Acer Ring allows you to start touch applications by scrolling through the App cards and tapping on the one you choose. The Ring also provides fast access to: Virtual Keyboard, Gesture Editor, Window Manager, and Device Control Console.

The Virtual Keyboard can be launched from the Acer Ring or by placing both palms on the bottom display. The intelligent design senses the position of the user’s palms and launches the keyboard.

It comes with a full-size QWERTY layout with international language support to give users the same experience of a traditional physical keyboard and features predictive text input for natural-speed typing while avoiding mistakes. The Virtual Keyboard also includes a touchpad and a numeric keypad and can be easily switched to handwriting mode. With all these functionalities you won’t miss the traditional physical keyboard!

With the Gesture Editor you can set customized gestures to launch specific applications, open websites, view your desktop or lock your computer. The Gesture Editor offers you a simple and intuitive way to personalize ICONIA to best suit your needs.

Window Manager allows users to organize the various application windows on the double touch screen. Windows and applications can be moved across displays, so you can always have what you need where you need it. Plus, you can browse through a list of running application, and resize, dock or close windows.

A wealth of built-in touch applications designed to easily manage content provides a seamless experience. Besides those already implemented on Acer’s touch devices, such as TouchBrowser, TouchPhoto, TouchMusic and TouchVideo, allowing an enhanced browsing experience with on-screen gestures to zoom, rotate, flip and scroll and to access and enjoy your multimedia from an integrated touch-optimized interface, ICONIA includes three new ones: SocialJogger, My Journal and Scrapbook.

SocialJogger lets you gather and check updates from Facebook, YouTube and Flickr in all in the same place, taking advantage of the dual screens to check posts and updates on the bottom display and use the second display for exploring and viewing more content.

You can use MyJournal to collect web clippings on your preferred topics. Web clippings are dynamically updated to display all the latest information and can be categorized and displayed according to your needs. Simply tab on a collected Web Clip to display the full webpage on the top screen for a complete access.

Scrapbook lets you easily store clippings, posts and just about anything else from different sources in the same place. You can capture screen shots from the web or an application, edit them and add notes.

You can create photo collections with notes and comments. You can also add your scraps to presentations, and documents. Scrapbook helps you keep track of anything you find interesting, funny or valuable and share it!

Acer ICONIA is based on the Intel Core i5 family of processors, delivering smart performance for multimedia, social networking and other demanding mainstream applications.

A fusion of the latest and best technology, ICONIA can also be equipped with 3G connectivity, for total freedom, while an HDMI™ port guarantees high-definition viewing and the Dolby Home Theater v3 provides vibrant audio for an immersive sound experience.

As user needs have changed dramatically since Toshiba introduced the world’s first mass-market laptop in 1985, Toshiba has announced three brand new products packed with innovative features, compelling form factors and class-leading hardware.

All three models have been specifically engineered to cater for the ever-evolving way in which computers are used.

Toshiba AC100 Internet Device

The AC100 is a stunning new device that is always on and highly portable. Everything about the AC100 is designed for mobile, online use, including the Android platform it runs on.

The Toshiba AC100 internet device is an ideal choice for consumers that stay in touch via social networks, store their personal content in the cloud and need to be online at the touch of a button – captured in an incredible 14mm thin body.

Providing up to seven days’ standby time, the AC100 is always ready for action, starting up in under a second, while Wi-Fi and optional 3G connectivity means the AC100 can be online wherever you are.

Toshiba Libretto W100

The world’s first dual touchscreen device to run Windows 7, the Libretto W100 displays content across two 17.8cm (7-inch) screens, allowing users to navigate through their applications in the most intuitive way.

The combination of a dual touchscreen form factor and integrated accelerometer allows for a diverse way of using the Toshiba Libretto W100 – simply split content across two screens; turn the Libretto W100 vertically for reading web pages, or bring up the virtual keyboard for more traditional clamshell computing.

Toshiba Portégé R700

The Portégé R700 is Toshiba’s most advanced ultra-portable laptops to date.

Portege R700 Laptop

Evolved from Toshiba’s impressive history of laptop manufacturing, both the Toshiba Portégé R700 and Toshiba Satellite R630 are true engineering feats, packing the latest class-leading hardware such as Intel Core series processors and Toshiba’s Airflow Cooling technology, and fitting it into a sublimely thin and light body weighing just 1.3kg.

Combining innovative technologies with an ultra-slim and highly robust chassis, the 33.8cm (13.3”) Portégé R700 is the thinnest and lightest full-function1 laptop in Europe, providing uncompromised mobile computing for business users

The gorgeous brushed black magnesium alloy chassis is built with a new honeycomb internal structure, so it’s as tough as it is portable.

The Portégé R700, designed specifically for demanding business users, also features additional docking solutions for fast connectivity to a wide range of peripheral devices.

Toshiba Satellite R630

As well as the Portégé R700, Toshiba today unveils the Satellite R630. Offering the same portability, power and mobile durability as the Portégé R700, the Satellite R630 offers outstanding performance for personal users.

The Satellite R630 allows personal users to enjoy unparalleled mobile performance, featuring the power to run the most challenging multimedia applications on the move, and with ease.

The new Toshiba Portégé R700 will be available from July and the Satellite R630 will be available from August 2010.
