Sony Korea has introduced a new all-in-one VAIO system called the VGC-LJ25L. The VGC-LG25L features:

• Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 processor
• 2GB RAM
• 200GB HDD
• 15.4 inch widescreen LCD display
• Built-in camera
• Microphone
• Integrated speakers and subwoofer

The folks at AVING.net have labeled the system as a notebook yet.. somehow I think it’s actually a desktop system. Sure it has a smaller display but the folding keyboard doesn’t fully protect the display which leads me to think it’s actually designed for home usage rather than on-the-go usage. This system is definitely ideal for those of you who have cramped quarters or limited space.

Here’s an office desk design idea that seems perfect for a show like HGTV’s “Design on a Dime”. It’s the “Sync Desktop” office desk by Gareth Battensby and it’s designed to integrate the PC into an office desk while remaining practical. The Sync desk design integrates a tower PC, a foldaway monitor and wireless keyboard, and a USB hub. I absolutely love the idea of having a foldaway LCD monitor. When you’re not in need of the display, simply fold it down and reclaim additional desktop space. Love it. Other nice ideas include an easily accessible power button and DVD drive. Very cool ideas - hopefully someone will actually attempt to make it!

An Intel representative in the U.S. has “emphatically denied” a report that Apple is planning to use the new Intel Atom processor in an upcoming iPhone like product. Yesterday, a report on the German ZDnet website cited a German Intel executive as stating that Apple was planning to use the Intel Atom processor. However, the article has since been modified to state that Apple might use the Atom in a future Mobile Internet Device. The operative word here is MIGHT. This confirms the notion that yes - the Atom processor is not quite ready for Apple’s needs. Of course most of us already suspected this given the thermal envelope of the Atom processor. However, it was fun to speculate the possibility that a product with the Atom might be in the wings from Apple. Alas.. we’ll just have to wait for the next 3G version of the iPhone instead.

Here’s another way to be a bit more “eco-friendly” or “green”. Wear the solar-powered green colored swimsuit while out in the sun. The power derived from the solar cells can be used to either charge external devices or power the LED display right above the solar panel. Yes.. that’s right.. an LED display - should you feel the send people a message of some sort.

Aside from collecting power from the sun, the swimsuit also comes with reusable liquid containers around the cup areas of the suit in case you need a drink or two. Ah.. nothing like being green eh?
