Toshiba has yet to officially reveal their 10-inch Android tablet but this new photo has surfaced. The frame of this tablet looks exactly the same as the other tablet but this one's running on the Windows 7 OS. It's also a bit larger, sporting an 11.6-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution. Other specs are reportedly 2GB of RAM, a 64GB SSD, an HDMI output, a 1.9 pound body, and an Intel Atom "Oak Trail" CPU. We don't know when this one will be officially announced but this one was actually spotted at CES which was last month.

Sony has just released their latest notebook that was unveiled at CES last week. It's the Vaio S notebook and it's very customizable (at least in the US). This 13.3-inch notebook comes in black and silver and has a bunch of options including a Blu-ray writable drive, Nvidia GeForce 310 graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, up to a 256GB SSD, WiDi, and an Intel Core i5-480M CPU along with Windows 7 Professional. Of course, you'll be able to upgrade that CPU for a bunch of different Intel Core CPUs but the decision is all yours. Just go check it out on Sony Style where it starts at $874.99.

At Sony's CES press conference, they refreshed their all in one PC, the Vaio L, and their notebook, the Vaio F. They're both packing new Intel Core i7 CPU options and the first one is the 24-inch Vaio L. This one packs an HDMI port, Nvidia GeForce GT500M graphics, Dolby Home Theater speakers, wireless keyboard / mouse, an optional Blu-ray drive / burner, and Windows 7. The base model for this one will cost you $1,199 but we don't know when it will be available.

Next up is the 16-inch Vaio F notebook which has 3D capabilities. This notebook packs new Intel Core 2011 CPU options, Nvidia GeForce GT540M graphics, a Full HD 3D LED display (1,920 x 1,080 resolution), and Windows 7. Of course, this notebook will up-convert your 2D movies / Blu-rays to 3D if that's what you want. The base model will be launching for $1,699 when it can be yours next month (February).

At CES, MSI introduced a bunch of new all in one PCs, which now feature Intel's new line-up of Core 2011 CPUs - except for the Wind Top AE2050 which is an AMD-powered. We'll kick things off with the 22-inch AE2210 and the 24-inch AE2410 which features up to 4GB of RAM, a 1TB HDD, an optional Blu-ray drive, a DVD burner, WiFi b/g/n support, an integrated webcam, two USB 3.0 ports, and Windows 7. This will be available later this quarter for $799 and $899, respectively.

Last, but not least, there's the 20-inch AE2050 which I already mentioned. It'll have an AMD E-350 CPU, Radeon HD 6310 graphics, two USB 3.0 ports, and Windows 7. The price and release date for this one is still unknown.

MSI has just announced their latest two tablets and it's the WindPad 100W and 100A. They're both sporting 10-inch displays and the "W" stands for Windows 7, while the "A" stands for Android. So, the 100W features an Intel Atom Z530 1.66GHz CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 32GB SSD, and an HDMI port. Furthermore, Engadget tested this tablet out and mentioned that it was "seriously laggy and unresponsive". Windows 7 on a tablet is clearly not going to work.

The other model is the 100A which features an ARM Cortex A8 CPU, 1GB of RAM, access to the Android Market, and Android 2.2. Sadly, these specs are definitely behind in the Android tablet world which is about to be flooded with Tegra 2 along with Android 3.0 "Honeycomb". You can look past both of these underwhelming tablets from the company.

Acer has just revealed their second Android phone of the day and it's the Android 2.2 powered Liquid Mini. This one features a 3.2-inch display with a 320 x 480 resolution, a 600MHz Qualcomm 7227 CPU, 512MB of RAM / ROM, a 5MP camera, DLNA, 3G, a microSD card slot, WiFi / Bluetooth / GPS support, and an FM radio.

Of course, Dell has updated their own share of their notebooks. This includes the Alienware M17x and XPS 17 notebooks which can now be upgraded to have 3D displays. Of course, they have options for Intel's new Core 2011 CPUs and they also pack 17-inch Full HD displays with a 120Hz refresh rate and Nvidia's GeForce GT 555M graphics. If you get the 3D model, then you'll need to get a pair of Nvidia's shutter glasses as well - right now we don't know if Dell will be nice enough to include one pair. The M17x will be available for as little as $1,499 on January 10th, while the XPS 17 will cost yo $1,449 and will arrive on February 1st.

Dell and T-Mobile have officially announced the Streak 7 tablet. This one's running Android 2.2 on a 7-inch Gorilla Glass display and will be available in a few weeks. Specs include a 1.3MP front-facing camera, 16GB of internal storage, a dual-core Tegra 2 chipset, and HSPA+ connectivity which should give you 42Mbps speeds since the carrier is planning to double their speeds by the end of the year. This is just one of the 25 HSPA+ aka 4G devices that T-Mobile USA plans to launch this year.


Update: According to another Engadget post, Dell actually pulled out a 10-inch Android tablet called the Streak 10. This one is going to be sporting the Stage UI as well. No details right now but it'll apparently launch next year which is a long time from now. It should have standard specs like a docking port, a front-facing camera, and a headphone jack whenever it does launch. Hopefully, it'll actually be this year.

They're all Android-based and hook up wirelessly to the TV [and other devices] using Viera Connect. These tablets will come in 4, 7, and 10-inch models but the rest of the hardware is the same. Pricing and the release date are still unannounced so we'll have to wait for that.

Microsoft didn't announce much at CES last night but they have unveiled their latest mouse. Dubbed the Touch Mouse, this one will be battling against Apple's Magic Mouse in the world of mice. This mouse reportedly supports a bunch of different multitouch gestures like flicks, pinch-to-zoom, and panning. This will be available this June for $79.95.
