Lenovo has just unveiled their latest notebook which should be pretty easy to carry around. Behold the X121e which can pack Intel / AMD CPUs so you can choose whatever you want. The notebook packs an 11.6-inch display (1,366 x 768 resolution), WiFi / Bluetooth support, an HDMI output, a webcam, WiMAX / 3G connectivity, and Windows 7.

AMD models feature a C-50 or E-350 APU along with a 250GB HDD. The former also has 1GB of RAM and a 3-cell battery, while the latter has 4GB of RAM and a 6-cell battery. If you opt for the Intel model then you can get a Core i3 CPU, a 320GB HDD, 2GB of RAM, and a 3-cell battery. Of course, you'll be able to upgrade the RAM, to an SSD, and even a 6-cell battery. This can be yours if you're in Europe for as little as €399 ($573 USD).

DigiTimes is reporting something great for you if you've been waiting for Apple to update their MacBook Air. Apparently, Apple is set to produce eight million Airs for Q3 of this year with the launch set for July. Specs are still unknown for this one right now but it'll be powered by Intel's Sandy Bridge CPU line-up which is pretty speedy.

HP has just released their latest notebook, the Pavilion dm4x, with Intel's "Sandy Bridge" CPUs. This 14-inch notebook features an Intel Core i5-2410M 2.3GHz CPU in the base model. This one starts at $729 and also features AMD Radeon HD 6470M graphics, 6GB of RAM, a 640GB HDD, and a 6-cell battery which is actually pretty good. I doubt that the battery life is any good though. If you're willing to spend more money then there's a Core i7 model waiting for you as well. Check it out on HP.

Asus may have a shortage of Eee Pad Transformer tablets but it looks like DigiTimes is reporting that they have another tablet that could be on the way in a few months. Apparently, on pace for this year is a Tegra 3 and even Intel-powered tablets. Guesses right now clock the Intel CPU to be a 1.5GHz Atom Z670 so both tablets will be easily capable of outputting 1080p video. Furthermore, these new CPUs could start popping up in tablets in August of this year which isn't too much waiting. Technology evolves way too fast.

We already know that LG's awesome Shuriken displays will be hitting some notebooks in the future and they've unveiled their own notebook that will be using it. They've introduced the 14-inch P430 and 15.6-inch P530 notebooks which sports a thin bezel. These can be classified as ultraportable notebooks because they're definitely thin-and-light at 1.94kg and 2.2kg, respectively.

Inside these notebooks you'll find that it's quite powerful as well. You'll be cruising away with an Intel Core i7 CPU along with a Nvidia GeForce GT 520M GPU and Windows 7. The P430 will be available in Asia, Europe, South America, and the Middle East in May while the P530 will be available in June.

Two Lenovo notebooks are now available and it's the 14-inch T420s and the 15.6-inch W520. They're both packing Intel "Sandy Bridge" CPUs which should be no surprise. The T420s packs a 1,600 x 900 resolution display, an Intel Core i5-2520M 2.5GHz CPU, and Windows 7 Home Premium in the base model. That's pretty good but it doesn't look like there's an option for a Core i7 CPU which could be bad if you crave for more speed.

The other notebook is the W520 which starts at $1,449. Fortunately, the base model features an Intel Core i7-2620M 2.7GHz CPU, a Nvidia Quadro 1000M GPU, and Optimus technology. Unfortunately, the display only sports a 1,366 x 768 resolution which isn't amazing. Thankfully, you're able to customize it to a 1,600 x 900 or a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution if you want it. Whenver you're ready check out the T420s here and the W520 here.

With all the tablet hype you might have forgotten about the Acer Iconia notebook which sports dual 14-inch displays. Yes, it might be a hint at what the future will be bringing more of.

If you're looking to pick one up then it'll be shipping this April for $1,199 which actually seems like a reasonable price.

Of course, you'll need the glasses to see March Madness in 3D.

Other specs for this notebook include a 500GB HDD, a Blu-ray drive, and Windows 7. Like I said, this one isn't overly expensive checking in at $999. If you want, you can check it out at Fujitsu.
