To pair nicely alongside that beastly Let’s Note B11 we showed you last week, Panasonic’s now also selling its J10 netbook series in Japan. Aesthetically speaking, the new Let’s Note J10 isn’t much different than its predecessor, the J9 , though it has changed a bit (as expected) in the specs department. 
If you’ve been following AMD’s game plan over the last couple of years, then you probably won’t be totally shocked by what follows. That said, reviewers’ verdicts of the new high-end Trinity laptop APU , the 2.3GHz quad-core A10-4600M, do include some dizzying highs and despairing lows, which are still kinda surprising in their own way.

This Let’s Note B11 is a worthy refresh to the B10 series we showed you a while back — although aesthetically it didn’t change much.

This go-round, the company’s redesigned both its mainstream Pavilion dv series, as well as its entry-level “g” laptops, though the range of sizes (14 to 17 inches) is pretty predictable

Eurocom calls its Racer 2.0 a small form factor mobile workstation — by which it means it’s a rather sizable laptop, but with plenty of power and decent aesthetics. 
Lenovo announced a slew of notebooks back at CES in January, so you’ll be forgiven if the ThinkPad Edge E430 and E530 don’t ring a bell. Those names are about to hit closer to home, though, because both models are finally on sale in the US and Asia with a base price of $459
Finally escaping its plate glass prison at CES , Sony’s unveiled its first Ultrabook, the VAIO T13 and T11. It’s set for release next month and currently packing a Sandy Bridge Intel Core i3-2367M processor (no third-generation processor just yet), within a 323mm-thick frame that weighs in at around 1.6kg for the 13-inch version.
