Lenovo IdeaPad U150 is official in Japan, not very big

Lenovo hasn't been driving quite as hard after the thin-and-light consumer game as some others (though that U350 is a sexy exception), but this upcoming ULV-powered, 11.6-inch IdeaPad U150 should put it right in the runnings. Unfortunately for us, Lenovo has only just announced the computer for Japan, with no word on when it might be coming Stateside. The specs are alright, with a brand new Intel Core 2 Duo SU4100 ULV processor, integrated graphics, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, multitouch trackpad and Windows 7. We still don't have a price to go on, but since the whole point of that new Intel proc is taking ULV chips to somewhere approaching Atom prices, we're hoping for good things.

What Would Happen To Wallet Bulge If This All-In-One Credit Card Were Real? [Concept]

Source: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/sT5Igp-VrrA/what-would-happen-to-wallet-bulge-if-this-all+in+one-credit-card-were-real

Sure, some of that wallet bulge comes from old-fashioned cash, but let's face it, credit cards and receipts are the big contributors. With the One Card concept though, you'd have everything accessible by turning a nob on a single card.

Dreamed up by Kim Young Suk, the One Card is almost too great to ever actually become reality. It would come with a media card slot to add credit card information, a nob to select which card you want the magnetic strip to mimic, and a display which would show either the selected card or corresponding receipts.

Only trouble would be that you're kinda screwed if you manage to demagnetize the card somehow. [Yanko Design]

LG intros ultrathin Win7-powered X-Note T380

We're still struggling to figure out why every PC maker in the universe has decided to debut at least one or two new Windows 7 machines today, but while we spin our wheels in frustration, we'll point you in the direction of LG's latest. The X-Note T380 is a 13.3-inch ultraportable powered by a Core 2 Duo SU3700 and featuring 4GB of DDR2 RAM, a GMA 4500MHD graphics set, 500GB of hard drive space, 802.11a/g/n WiFi and Win7 Home Premium. In related news, the outfit also updated its X-Note P510 to include Microsoft's newest, shiniest operating system, though otherwise it's remaining exactly the same. Price and release for the little guy has yet to be determined, but judging by just how stoked that lady appears, we'd say it'll be worth whatever LG decides to charge.

Dell Adamo XPS opens up for Windows 7 festivities, but still not for sale

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/dell-adamo-xps-opens-up-for-windows-7-festivities-but-still-not/

So much for Business Week's "confirmed" October 22nd launch date from over the weekend, eh? We just spoke with Dell's PR who told us that the company has yet to confirm a launch date for its slender Adamo XPS, and still won't, except to say that it's not reaching the unwashed masses at any point today. That doesn't mean today was all bad for the vigilant in waiting, as we finally got our first public showing of the front of the laptop, proving once and for all that the most recent press photo isn't crooked. So there you have it, a chiclet keyboard and touchpad that likes to curl up close with the screen -- mystery's over, folks, now we play the waiting game.

Update: Laptop Mag notes a removable battery and what's likely to be an Intel ULV processor -- it's definitely not Atom.
