Asus is just about to launch a few notebooks in the US and the first one is the monstrous 18.4-inch NX90J notebook. This will be available before October with a $2,299 price tag so it's pretty expensive. For users looking for a cheaper notebook, the company will also be releasing their N53JF notebook (above). This one will be available for $999 and will feature a 15-inch display, an Intel Core i5 CPU, GeForce GT425 graphics, and some Bang & Olufsen inspiration. Last, but not least, there's the Asus ROG G73Jw which is a gaming notebook. This will be available later this month for $1,799.

If you're interested in the Asus NX90Jq notebook then you better have quite a bit of money lying around. This notebook - in case you somehow forgot - was being showcased at CES earlier this year and it sports an 18.4-inch display, dual-touchpads, B&O ICEpower speakers, an Intel Core i7 CPU, Nvidia GeForce GT 334M graphics, and up to 1,280GB of HDD storage. This Bang & Olufsen designed notebook is now available online (here) for right around $2,500. I hope you have the money.

Asus has just unveiled two new notebooks, the 15.6-inch (1,366 x 768 resolution) N53JN and the 17.3-inch (1,600 x 900 resolution) N73JN. Both notebooks pack the same spec sheet, except for the displays, that is. They pack Intel Core i3 / i5 CPU options, Nvidia's Optimus technology, LED-backlit displays, Nvidia GeForce 325M / 400M GPU options, DirectX 11 support, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support, one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA/USB port, HDMI output, audio jacks, a possible Blu-ray drive, and Bang & Olufsen audio. In Europe, you'll be able to pick up the N53JN for anywhere between £649.99 ($1,000 USD) and £999 ($1,537 USD), while the N73JN will cost you £1,099 ($1,698 USD).

Bang & Olufsen has just announced their 40-inch LCD TV. This is being called the BeoVision 8 and it has 240Hz technology and that's roughly double the refresh rate of traditional LCD TVs. This TV will be available sometime this Summer for a whopping $5,400. This is expensive, but it's cheap if you're looking for a Bang & Olufsen TV.

Bang & Olufsen has just unveiled their latest LCD HDTV. This one just a larger model of their current BeoVision 10 - this one is the BeoVision 10-46 - and will feature a 46-inch display. It'll also be equipped with an aluminum body, 200Hz technology, and it's LED-backlit. Unfortunately, like every other Bang & Olufsen TV, it's expensive. It'll be available in April for around $10,000.

We already know that the Samsung r520 Trill is coming to US Cellular, but it will be coming to TracFone as well. This handset has: 1GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, and Bang & Olufsen ICEpower for your music needs. The other handset both US Cellular and TracFone will be launching is that Samsung T401G. This handset has: a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 1.3MP camera, and a microSD card slot.

That's right folks. For those of you willing to spend a year's salary on a TV, this is the one you've been waiting for. On a side note, I'm definitely sure my mom doesn't make this kind of money in 1.5 years. Anyways, the BeoVision 4 (talked about it a while back) has just hit American soil for a retail price of $93,050 on a wall mount and $111,805 on a "motorized" floor stand. The price is already high enough, but it's actually cheaper than when Bang & Olufsen launched it in Europe, for $136,220 USD. So, you Americans get it for around $43,000 USD cheaper - just in case you couldn't do the math yourself. This TV is a 103-inch plasma HDTV and it also comes in a couple of colours: black, silver, red, blue, and dark grey. Engadget points out that "there is a three to four month lead time for each set" - but I have no clue what that means. Anyways, go out and grab one if you like - if you have money.

Don't forget that the Samsung Trance is now available from Verizon. The Trance costs $49.99 USD after a $50 mail-in rebate on a 2-year contract. It's a low-range phone (according to me), so don't expect too much out of it. The Trance has: a 2.1-inch display with a 220 x 176 resolution, a 1.3MP camera, 1GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth, a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, and Back & Olufsen ICEpower sound technology. It's fairly underwhelming, so it's up to you whether you want to hang onto this phone for 2 years.

The Samsung U490 Trance is in my low-level handset category. It has a 2.1-inch display with a 220 x 176 resolution, a 1.3MP camera, 1GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth, a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, and it will have Bang & Olufsen ICEpower sound technology. The Trance will be available through Verizon Wireless on April 24 for $49.99 (after $50 mail-in rebate) on a 2-year contract, $119.99 (after $50 mail-in rebate) on a 1-year contract, and $219.99 USD for no-contract.

If you're a couple thousand dollars short of purchasing Sharp's 108-inch TV, then you can always opt for something just a little bit smaller and a little bit less pricey. Sharp's 108-inch TV is retailing for £100,000 ($143,000 USD); meanwhile, Bang & Olufsen's new 103-inch BeoVision 4-103 plasma TV is retailing for €100,000 ($136,220 USD) this July. It is a small price to pay to complete your ultimate entertainment system. For this plasma TV they used the exact same panel as Panasonic's 103-inch monster which was released a couple of years ago. But, B & O did tune it up a little bit. They included: an automatic rising stand, the BeoSystem 3 with VisionClear technology and, of course, the Bang & Olufsen logo to top it all off. It's definitely out of my price range.

Since I'm fairly new to this technology and blogging world I've actually never heard of this Bang & Olufsen company before (until the Samsung M7600 came out). Anyways, looks like they're trying to make a move in the TV industry with their BeoVision 8. The 40-inch LCD HDTV has a fair 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, "500 nits of brightness", 3,000:1 contrast ratio, 6ms response time, a digital TV tuner, and they even included their nifty audio into their also nifty internal speakers. There is no word on the price, but the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) is said to be "attractive" whatever that means. More details on the price when it's released.
