Philips amBX system upgrades your game room
Philips' amBX system promises to bring your gaming environment into the "real world." While that sound like a bad pitch for a sequel to Tron, the amBX is actually a bit more low-tech, aiming to make the space in your game room "immersive" by affecting things like ambient lighting. The idea is if you were playing a game where your character was, say, on the bridge of a submarine, lights on the top of the system's surround speakers would glow red. The amBX even includes four mini fans that'll blow some air at you when the game calls for a gust of wind (or a bad guy breathing down your neck). It honestly sounds kind of cool if you were playing something creepy like one of the many iterations of Doom or Resident Evil. On the other hand, adding these kind of "multisensory" enhancements to TV and other media has never paid off (anyone remember Smell-o-Vision?), and it's not like Philips' Ambilight TVs are flying off the shelves. But I guess those researchers chained up in the Philips Simplicity science pits have to do something. You may see the amBX in a few U.S. stores — in a "sneak preview" of the technology — by Christmas. If you do, try to be cool, okay? — Peter Pachal

Apple Takes MacBook Pros to Core 2 Duo
Apple Computer has upgraded its entire line of MacBook Pro notebooks to Core 2 Duo processors, promising performance up to 39 percent faster than previous models.
Apple Computer today upgraded its entire line of MacBook Pro notebook computers to Intel Core 2 Duo processors running at 2.16 GHz (for the 15-inch model) or 2.3 GHz (for either the 15-inch of 17-inch model) wit 4 MB of L2 cache. Apple claims the new systems offer up to 39 percent faster performance than the previous generation of 2.16 Ghz Intel-based MacBook Pro notebooks, and up to seven times fastr than the 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4-based notebooks the new Intel-based models replaced. The new machines also add a FireWire 800 port for connecting to high-speed peripherals, and still measure just one inch thick.
"With an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, greater storage capacity and FireWire 800 connectivity, the new MacBook Pro delivers unprecedented performance and mobility in an incredibly thin and light design," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior VP of Worldwide Product Marketing. "We are thrilled that our notebook sales are growing twice as fast as the overall notebook market, and we hope these new MacBook Pro models continue that success."
The new MacBook line is available with either 15-inch (1,440 by 900 pixels) or 17-inch (1,680 by 1,050 pixels) screens, 1 or 2 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (expandable to 3 GB), ATO Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics with up to 256 MB of video memory, and a dual layer DVD burner. Also on board: 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi networking (AirPort Extreme, in Apple parlance), Bluetooth 20+EDR, gigabit Ethernet, FireWire ports (old-style 400 and the new 800), DVI video ouput, an ExpressCard/34 expansion, close, analog and digital audio input and output, built-in iSight camera for video conferencing, and USB 2.0 (two ports on the 15-inch model, 3 on the 17-incher). The systems ship with Apple's MagSafe power adapter that connects to the computer using magnetism, so the adapter can slip away when bumped or tugged without damaging the adapter or computer's power jack. Of course, the systems ship with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger," Apple's iLife '06 lifestyle application suite, plus a remote control with Front Row and Photo Booth. And via Boot Camp—or virtualized environments—you can even run Windows on them…if that's your thing.
The 15-inch MacBook Pros are available now at prices starting at $1,999; the 17-inch models will be available next week at prices starting at $2,499

Sony VAIO 007 Edition/DSC-T50B Cybershot
Sony brings forth the latest 007 VAIO TX that’s slimmer and sleeker than its predecessors. Only an inch thick and weighing 2.8 pounds, it is awfully compact and portable. The reason the 007 VAIO is called so is because Mr. Bond himself can get a lot of his ‘chores’ done using its remarkable features as the specs are quite impressive. A 1.2GHz Intel U1400 Dual Core processor coupled with 1GB DDR2 RAM can make this baby gallop pretty quick. As far as storage is concerned the 007 has a modest 80GB 4200 rpm hard disk.
The display and graphics are noteworthy too. It comes with WXGA XBRITE display and an Intel's GMA950 integrated graphics set. As far as connectivity is concerned we can find an Ethernet adapter, 56k modem, a pair of USB 2.0 ports, 4-pin FireWire, MS / MSPro reader, PCMCIA, and the wireless tools (read: WiFi / Bluetooth). All this along with a Cyber-shot® 7.2 Megapixel Digital Camera makes it a mouth watering deal. And being priced at $4,299.99 it’s pretty affordable for Bond and his innumerable impersonators. Well, pretty justified, isn’t it?

Samsung to unveil 20.1-inch LED LCD monitor in Korea
ASUS Presents a Dual-Screen Laptop
The W5Fe is the first dual screen notebook that belongs to the “Newport” series.
Asus W5x notebooks have suffered another transformation. They've been around for quite some time now, featuring Pentium-M processors (W5A) while the W5F brought things up to date with the Core Duo processor. As for the new 12.1'' notebook model lineup, W5Fe incorporates a second display on its LCD lid as a part of Intel's original "Newport" initiative, shows Cnet.The system which is now featured in Windows Vista as "Windows Sideshow" was developed by PortalPlayer. They've made claims that "it can run for hundreds of hours without draining your notebook battery." It sounds like promising technology indeed, but the costs to implement this technology in notebooks can't be cheap, said Dailytech.According to PortalPlayer's website, the following features are available while your laptop is turned off or in hibernation mode:Relevant information at your fingertips;Intelligent organization with access to calendars, e-mails, addresses, travel itineraries, movie show; times, alerts and more;The ability to play games, enjoy music, and share pictures;Longer battery life for improved productivity;A way to personalize your notebook, making it uniquely yours;Prototypes of this technology were displayed at CES 2006 in Las Vegas, but with the impending release of Windows Vista, it looks as though we may be seeing more of these notebooks entering production. And it also seems that this technology will not be available if you choose to install another OS
