The new Core i5 and Core i7 mobile CPUs are already finding their way into some products. Panasonic has announced that the Japanese version of the Toughbook laptops, known there as Lets Note, will be getting some speedy new Nehalem-based processors. The new rugged (and a little ugly) offerings will come in four flavors.
The S9, N9, and F9 will have a Core i5-520M CPU. Screen sizes range from 12.1 inches (S9 and F9) up to the 14.1 inch screen on the F9. This screen will probably look quite nice with a resolution of 1440 x 900. The real gem here is the R9 model which will have a Core i7-620M, 250GB HDD, and 2GB of DDR3 RAM crammed into a chassis the size of a netbook. A 10.1 inch screen with that kind of power makes for a desirable ultraportable computer.
A Japanese launch is scheduled for February 17th. No word on if these PCs will find their way here. If you were able to get one of these, what would you pay for it?

Who had the brilliant idea of making a round touchpad for a very square screen? Damn, why not add a left-handed-only joystick and then slap a trackball on the back of the monitor while you are at it? At least then we could call it 'creative, but seriously misguided'. A round trackpad is just plain dumb.

The circular track pad is designed for scrolling around the edge. Square track pads have the left or right edge scroll a page, the Toughbook has you run your finger around the edge clockwise or counter-clockwise like on the iPod.
