  Radeon Xpress 200M Chipset
• 1GB (512MB installed in each of two memory slots) DDR333 SDRAM (upgradeable to 2 GB total)
• 100GB Ultra ATA/100 hard drive (5400 rpm)
• Integrated DVD-Super Multi double-layer drive
• 5-in-1 card reader for optional MultiMediaCard , Secure Digital card, Memory Stick , Memory Stick PRO or xD-Picture Card

• Dimensions & Weight: 14.3" (363.0mm) W x 10.5" (265.7mm) D x 1.2" - 1.4" (30.5mm - 34.3mm) H. 6.3 lb. (2.9kg)

Pros (will try to limit to 5, although I think its fairly obvious I could go on for a while!):

• Ferrari (its so pretty.....)
• Performance (works perfectly and is insanely fast)
• Easilly customizable
• 64 bit procesor (ensures future viability)
• Included extras are a very nice touch

Cons (seriously, this is all of them, not including that EVERYONE will notice your laptop):

• Bluetooth/wireless controls on front (vs being near keyboard)
• Lack of media controls
• Keyboard/mousepad heat
• Headphone volume
• Screen/carbon fiber top tend to smudge, although the cleaning cloth gets rid of those quickly

Conclusion:

Great laptop, which will last you a while. Definately get the USB sound drive and the total protection warranty extension. At around $2,200 from most retailers, it is a tad pricey; however it really is worth it if you want a great performing laptop. The sensational design is the icing on the cake.

Twitter may soon offer auto translate option

There is news about Twitter preparing an auto-translate option that will, as the name suggests, automatically translate posts into your preferred native language. Last year, Twitter’s Biz Stone made an announcement about Twitter working on languages beyond its native English and Japanese. However, that was restricted to only the website, whereas translations will soon be designed to translate the posts as well.

The results page, which allows a user to filter a tweet by language (from Arabic to Icelandic to Thai), will have a clickable option to translate the tweets to a preferred language.

So, if any of your Dutch speaking friends tries to bully you by writing in their native language, you can easily use the auto translate option to change the tweet into English, Twitter will also feature on option to expand the shorts link to the full URL, without actually being forced to click through.
