Here’s the updated Apple iMac (sporting the new Aluminum Keyboard of course). It’s thinner than before, encased in anodized aluminum and all iMacs comes with glossy screens.
The 17" model is gone now and they offer three different models - two with 20" and one with 24".
Here’s the first ad for the updated iMac:
Yeah. Pretty boring, but you gotta admit that the machines look good.

The new addition to the Sony Vaio series of laptops is called CR and this time it looks like Sony is flirting a bit with the ladies as well.

The Zonbu is something of a new take on home computing. The actual device is small, silent, Linux-based (KDE) and eco-friendly and instead of a regular hard drive it features 4 GB of Flash based storage.
The grand thought behind the Zonbu is to sign up for a subscription ranging from Zonbu lite ($12.95/month) to Zonbu premium ($19.95/month) for on-line storage space at their ‘disaster-proof’ servers ranging from 25 to 100 GB as well as automatic backups, application and OS maintenance, free upgrades, free device replacement and unlimited online support.
My take: Personally I’d love to see more mini computers running Linux on the market (both the GNOME and KDE desktop environments are quite mature nowadays) but please, give me local storage.

Victor System’s Rugged Mini Computer is actually a heavily modified and uglified Mac Mini designed for the military. The regular, stylish case has been upgraded to an aircraft grade aluminum alloy fastened and bonded using electrically conductive epoxy supposed to protect your machine from nastiness like bumps, scratches, moisture, dust and LAN-parties.
Besides the actual computer they have rugged keyboards, monitors, mice and speakers as well.

HiPe PC just announced their new Driv-N in-dash PCs. While some similar devices lack the binary horsepowers to do anything more than plain movie watching and music listening the Driv-N is fast enough to run Windows Vista Home Premium (if that bold move resulted in the machine feeling slow again is yet to be seen).
Anyway, depending on the model you get a touchscreen display ranging from 6.5" to 15" in size, speech recognition software (which apparently doesn’t need the tedious voice training), Bluetooth connectivity, GPS, rear-view camera support, optional Wi-Fi transmitter, voice feedback, XM-radio and much more.
If you want one you’ll have to give up between $799 to $1,589 depending on the power you want packed into the box.

New info (and one official picture) of Luvaglio’s Million Dollar Laptop I wrote about earlier has surfaced. Apparently it’s hand-made and features jewellery and diamonds as functional pieces (smart bling, not stupid bling), solid state storage, Blu-ray, built-in USB memory stick and integrated screen cleaning and when you order one you get to pick your own encasing in either metal, leather or real wood.
