I just love power, especially when packaged in mobile forms.That goes for cars, motorcycles, and, of course, notebooks. The XtremeNotebook Xtreme 917V (wihch is a bit to type) provides some serious power for a low, low starting price of $2,399. The specs:

• 17-inch display
• Core 2 Quad processor
• dual nVidia Geforce Go 7950 GTX graphics processors
• Up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM
• Multicard reader
• Dual-layer DVD writer (no HD?)
• Up to three 250GB hard drives (four spindles? wow!)
• Optional TV tuner
• Gigabit Ethernet
• Wi-Fi
• Standard ports
• 12-cell batter that still manages only about 60 minutes

Sounds like a monster. Go get one, oh rich ones.

As usual, Fujitsu has cooked up some delicious Tablet PC goodness in the upcoming T2010. Check out the specs:

• Intel Core 2 Duo ULV at 1.06GHz or 1.2GHz
• Intel GM 965 Chipset (so, Santa Rosa)
• Up to 4GB of DDR2-533 RAM
• 12.1" WXGA Screen with LED backlight
• Intel GMA X1300 graphics (so, not a gaming machine, obviously)
• Up to 120GB SATA
• Wi-Fi 802.11a/g/n or a/b/g
• Bluetooth
• Gigabit Ethernet
• Standard battery life of up to 9 hours, up to 11 hours with extended version
• 3.31 lbs

No, for those who are into tablets, those are some nice specs. Just the right size, performance would be fine for a Tablet (which to should never be expected to be a decent gaming machine), and a screen that’s high enough resolution without being blinding. Pricing will start at $1,599, and I’m sure go up from there with the appropriate options.

That might not seem fair, but I swear: I was in a furniture store the other day and saw an ottoman that looked just like Sony’s new VAIO TP1 HTPC. Which might be on purpose, because this thing certainly won’t fit in any A/V rack that I know of. It’s also not the most well-equipped HTPC on the market, with neither an HD optical drive nor CableCARD capability. It does have a Core 2 Duo running at 1.83GHz, 2GB RAM, Intel 950 integrated graphics (yuck!), 300GB SATA HDD, standard dual-layer DVD, and a TV tuner. So, nothing to write home about, but maybe it’s made of soft leather and will let you take a load off. Pricing is $1,599.99 and up.

Or, maybe Everex is really helping the middle class afford to send their kids to college with some kind of computer at all. Either way, for $300 there’s the GC3502, with a 1.5GHz VIA C7-D processor, 1GB of RAM, an 80GB HDD, and integrated LAN and graphics. Not too shabby, and should help keep those kids studying, because they certainly won’t be playing games on this thing.

Imagine if you will a terabyte of fast storage, 2GB of DDR RAM, a Core 2 Quad processor, Blu-Ray, multiple-case design for convenience and, presumably, cooling efficiencies, decent graphics with a GeForce 8600 GTS, and a luscious overall design. Throw in a video-nerdy jog dial control, all sorts of video and audio inputs, and HD support, and you have the video editor’s dream machine–at least, for the relatively affordable price of $5,000.

It’s an upgrade from earlier RM models, but man–what an upgrade. I’ll take two (in my dreams, of course).
