Some Cool New Products

As I said in my previous post I really enjoy what I do. One of the main reasons for that is that I get to check out a ton of really cool products each week. Here are 3 of the more interesting products I got in recently.

First up is the Lenovo Ideapad U110 11.1-inch laptop. I have been waiting to get this laptop since CES when it was first announced. It comes in black and red, we received the black version. The lid has a really cool design engraved into it. This laptop is perfect for blogging, with the dimensions of 10.8” x 7.7” x 0.88” it is very small and light. The system also features a LED backlit screen, 120GB SSD hard drive, and integrated webcam. For me the only thing that is missing is built in EVDO. The Ideapad retails for $1899.00.

I have been reviewing PC cases for the longest time, but only a few have really impressed me. Cooler Master was nice enough to send me one of their CSX cases. CSX is a new division of Cooler Master that will customize your PC case, laptop, iPod, and even DS. We received the Broodling case, which is a skull design on the very popular Cosmos 1000 case. This custom case retails for $999.

I’m sure a lot of you have seen the Asus Eee PC before. It is an extremely small laptop with limited capabilities, built on linux. It is very small with only a 7-inch screen, but as I said it is limited. We received the 2G Surf version which only has a 2GB SSD hard drive and 512mb of memory. As I said it is very small so it could be a great choice for a blogger who does not want to carry a large laptop, but the keyboard is much smaller than a regular laptop keyboard so it will take some time to get used to. The Eee PC 2G Surf retails for only $299.

Expect to see reviews of these products very soon on ThinkComputers. I will be making posts like this every week or every other week to let you know some of the cool stuff we have coming in at ThinkComputers.

That Lenovo looks nice. I wonder how Stephen’s Asus stacks up against it.

CDN’s just need to sign up for a bank account with RBC and they get one free. Maybe they bought them all?

You techies are so lucky I sure hope I can open one of those tech websites soon to get free stuff

How do you get the stuff though? Do you contact them or you become partners with the companies first? Do you keep the stuff?

Well I have been doing this for a while so in the beginning we would have to contact companies, but now we have really good relationships with alot of companies so they let us know when they have new products coming out. Yeah usually we get to keep the stuff

Sweet, I had been wondering which CSX case you were being sent, since you said it was ‘their choice’. I like that one because it is based on the Cosmos case. I thought mine was going to be the same way but it arrived as a Stacker

BTW, what number is yours?

I think a friend of mine who is looking to buy a new computer, will really like that Broodling case.

I also have a Lenovo computer, they are great
