Asus Leather Laptops
Leather’s all the rage in the technology world right now. The Asus S6F comes in all shades of brown leather, as well as bright pink for the more adventurous mobile worker. It’s tiny and willfit in the smallest bag, but with 1GB of RAM, 100GB hard drive and cutting edge Intel Core Duo processor, it packs a real punch. £1,699. www.asus.com
TOSHIBA ET20
There’s no need to hide away your home cinema projector any more – not when Toshiba’s ET20 is the projector in question. It is far better looking than the usual models and it works at close proximity to the screen, so you don’t need to position it far away to get a good picture. In fact, pop this on your coffee table and the ET20 can project a 100-inch picture from just 1.3 metres away.
It also comes with a DVD player, USB slot for your memory sticks, and a built-in Dolby 5.1 surround-sound system. £1,299. www.toshiba.co.uk
NEUROS MPEG 4 RECORDER FOR PSP
One of the best things about Sony’s PSP (PlayStation Portable) is the media player, which allows you to watch your favourite TV shows and movies on the go. But getting the content onto your PSP quickly and easily isn’t always so straightforward, which is where the Neuros MPEG 4 Recorder comes in. This digital video recorder records onto a PSP-friendly Memory Stick Duo storage card. It can record from any digital source – TV, DVDs, PVRs – and because it will also record onto CF memory cards, you can play stuff back on your laptop, PDA or other CF/Memory Stick compatible media player. £150. www.sony.com
