Super tough laptop case

If you are worried your laptop being damaged when you are out and about, the answer has to be a strong laptop case. But with so many on the market which one is the best?

Well one of the best has to be this one, it is called the Impervious Briefcase and would imply that nothing is getting through this case and in fact it can withstand around 250 pounds of force and that is a lot of weight to hold!

Features of the ABS Polycarbonate briefcase:

Despite its exceptional strength, the impervious briefcase weighs only 3 lbs., resulting in a piece that is both durable and easy to carry. Two accordion-style, padded compartments inside the case can hold a 15.4″ laptop, notepads, and several folders. Separate pockets for a cell phone, a calculator, and writing implements keep business essentials organized. The generous interior is lined with 420-denier nylon and the handles are made of durable PVC plastic. Includes an adjustable shoulder strap. Silver or Black. 16 1/2″ W x 12″ H 4 1/2″ D. (3 lbs.)

Sony Vaio E Series: Mid-Tier Laptops With Panache

vaio e 2

Sony announced their latest line of Vaio laptops last week, the brightly colored mainstream E Series. The color options are certainly, uh, flamboyant? Styles listed on the Sony Style web store include: Coconut White, Gunmetal Black, Lava Black, Hibiscus Pink, Iridescent Blue, Caribbean Green. Gadget blog CrunchGear also listed matte colors Maple Brown and Silver White.

From the Sony Style blog: “The key benefit of this series is flexibility, personalization and customization. With that kind of fun, you just know Sony Style team couldn’t leave that alone.” More after the jump.

Though the E series is marketed in the entry-level notebook category, they’re more like mid-range, small desktop replacements. The 15.5-inch monitor sets it a bit outside the super-portable category these days, as does the short 3.5-hour maximum battery life and six pound weight. The baseline models are decently powerful machines for the 0 price tag, however, with a Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, 15.5-inch screen, 500GB hard drive, an HDMI output, and Windows 7. Pricing for options like an i5 processor and Blu-ray disk drive will be announced this weekend.

vaio e 1

I’m surprised I’m admitting this, but this E Series is kind of endearing. There are just so many laptops from so many manufacturers with these kinds of specs, the ridiculous color schemes are like a breath of fresh air. And even tf those boring Lava Black glossy or Silver White matte finishes seem too pedestrian for your tastes, toss on an optional keyboard skin and–BOOM!–baby blue or hot pink keys for you.

The base models begin to ship in early March. No ship date has been announced for more powerful customized models, but they’re likely to ship a few weeks later, if we had to guess.
