MacTruck Rugged Casing for your Mac Powerbooks

mactruck_12
If you don?t own a rugged laptop like the fall-proof Panasonic toughbook then you need to shield your notebook from all that wear and tear it suffers in handling. We have told you about a few rugged laptop casings, in the past too including Chrome Bags line of rugged crush-proof laptop cases for your Apple Pie?s. Another choice comes with MacTruck that closely envelopes your notebook with an ultra-tough 5052-H32 Aluminum alloy shell that’s rugged enough to drive a truck over! Now, that?s something! Though, I doubt one can be this careless to let that incident happen in the first place, but it never hurts to be extra-protective about your gear. The dual steel alloy slam latches makes it sturdy enough to last for years.

And, you don?t need to take-out your MacBook from the case at all, if you want to as it allows full access to all ports, while your MacBook is safely cradled in MacTruck’s high-density poly padding. The super-tough case features generous 5mm air channels beneath the casing, combined with the superior heat conduction properties of the aluminum shell to ensure that your notebook stays cool even in the most demanding situations.

The MacTruck’s handle rotates throughout a full 180 deg. arc, for easy stow-away. And, all those rugged features come wrapped-up in an elegant powder-coated finish for long-lasting beauty. An STM Shoulder Strap can be added for enhanced versatility. The MacTruck is a bit pricier price-wise then Chrome Bags rugged crush-proof laptop cases for it costs from $199 to $299.

Sega Announces iPenguin, What Could Possibly Come Next

iPenguin

A few years ago the Sega iDog came out, and apparently it was popular enough to spawn the iFish, and now, the iPenguin. These casually interesting speakers react to audio input, flashing their LEDs and waggling their various appendages. I am not at all sure why the penguin was chosen, but as for the next iAnimal, I hope it’s going to be the iAye-Aye. Why? Because maybe then people will finally realize that the whole “i” prefix does, in fact, sound silly… Even if it makes your dancing penguins fly off the shelves.

We’re not sure if the iPenguin will manage to migrate across the Pacific, but based on this article, we ought to be seeing them sometime soon, even if they are a little bit confused when they get here.

Turbo Laptop With Push Button Overclocking

By Evan Ackerman

MSI GX-600

The MSI GX600, which showed up at Computex today, is supposedly the world’s first “Turbobook” with a built in overclocking button that boosts CPU speed by up to 20% when you enable it. The rest of the laptop is about average for a Santa Rosa based gaming platform, with a Core 2 Duo processor, 15.4″ WXGA, Nvidia Geforce 8600 with 512mb of ram, and up to 250 gigs of SATA HD space and up to 4 gigs of ram. It’s also got a full numeric keypad, which is a nice feature, and weighs about 6 pounds.

Although a turbo button on a computer sure sounds neat, is it really a turbo button? When I think “turbo” I think of a boost of speed that is significant enough to somehow cause physical damage if you leave it on… ‘Cause otherwise, why not just leave it on all the time? If you remember the days of the generic mid-90s off-beige tower PC, you may recall a turbo button that worked along a similar and vaguely useless principle. So from this perspective, the “turbo” button is in reality an “economy” button that lets you underclock the computer when you want to save battery life, which (in the case of the GX600) is moot since the turbo button only works when the computer is plugged in. In that respect, laptops like the Vaio which have a selectable speed/stamina button to actually underclock the chip to save battery are more practical, if less cool.

Price not yet set.

Nintendo DS To Get ‘Slide Controller’ Add-On

Nintendo DS Slide (Images courtesy Nintendo & Inter-Fab)

Famitsu Magazine via IGN is reporting that Nintendo will be bundling a new “slide controller” peripheral with an upcoming Nintendo DS game called Slide Adventure: Mag Kid. The new peripheral plugs into the GBA slot on the DS and sits underneath the system kind of like a stand. As you slide the DS around on a flat surface the peripheral detects those movements and uses them to control the main character. For example sliding the DS in the direction of an enemy onscreen will cause the Mag Kid character to ram into them.

It sounds to me like Nintendo is trying to bring some of the motion control functionality that made the Wii so popular to their handheld systems. The last time they did something like this was with Wario Ware: Twisted for the GBA and while the game didn’t break any sales records it’s still one of the best titles ever created for that system.

And the slide controller can only make you wonder what the successor to the DS will be capable of…
