Sony's issuing a recall for Vaio TZ laptops sold between May 2007 and July 2008: apparently there's a risk of overheating leading to "abnormal heat deformation of the enclosure"—which sounds like a lot more than the usual knee-burn heat of a laptop. It's not due to the battery, mind you, rather it seems like a manufacturing flaw related to the power connector and LCD frame. The news relates so far to just Japanese machines, with ...

It's easy to install a new hard drive in your desktop computer, but laptops can be a whole other ball of wax, because the drive is usually wedged deep into the notebook's innards and it takes a lot more elbow grease to swap out. MacBook owner Dwight Silverman took the plunge when he filled up his drive and doubled his available gigabytage. This process varies from notebook to notebook, so if you've successfully installed a ...

The OLPC program just got a lot more mainstream, with word that Amazon will start selling the XO Laptop starting in November. It’ll be sold as part of the “Give One, Get One” program, meaning that for every XO Laptop you buy, one lucky youngster in a developing country will get one, too. (You’re actually paying for two laptops.) You’re doing charitable work with literally zero extra effort on your part. What’s sorta weird is ...

When we describe these laptop bags as Green, we dont mean environmentally friendly - we mean Green, like a green thumb. Most of the bags in the Debra Cortese Nature’s Energy collection feature a naturally green design in the form of green shrubbery or flowers with green stems. The bags retail for about $129 and each feature a padded, removable computer sleeve and plenty of pockets for all your other gadgets.

Like the Pillow Book before it, the Napbook is designed to make catching a quick nap in a public place more comfortable—but the benefits don't stop there. By lying on it, you run less of a risk that your laptop will be stolen while you sleep. Plus, the extra padding helps to keep your laptop safe from damage. Unfortunately, the Napbook is a handmade design sold exclusively in an Apple store in Reykjavík, Iceland—but if ...

A “reliable source” who has nailed some things before (okay, it’s just a little bird) hears on the grapevine that come the 23rd of September, there’s going to be a sub-$1000 touchscreen-based Mac dropping on us. Not only that, but 10-bit HDMI out from the GPU, great for hi-def buffs (probably not on the <$1K rig). Not going too far out on a limb, but let's still treat it like the filthy, contemptible rumor it ...

The other day I walked into a coffee shop where I witnessed a man—a grown man—hunched over a tiny laptop. He wiggled with cautious, uncertain movements like a fat guy squeezing his way into an old pair of pants. His hands, too wide for the keyboard, made him look klutzy and a bit stupid. His face, in almost erotic proximity to the tiny screen, squinted to either see more clearly or repress the eyestrain. And ...

Just because I’m a fat American doesn’t mean I’ve always wanted a fat American computer. Over the years I have grown to hate so-called performance laptops from Dell and HP. They were big, ugly and heavy enough to rip your shoulder out of your socket, and getting bigger, uglier and heavier all the time. Why didn’t we get those little laptops, you know, the ones made for Japan and available only on Dynamism? Like the ...
