In a desperate bid to invite attention, or so it appears, little known Danish PC manufacturer Zepto has claimed that its Nox A14 notebook is the fastest 14-inch notebook in the world.

The notebook is available in various configurations with the base version featuring a 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB DDR2 memory, 6-cell battery, a DVD drive and 160 GB 5400 RPM hard drive. The Nox A14 includes a Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT graphics card with 512 MB of GDDR3 memory, which can be easily upgraded later as it utilizes the Nvidia MXM platform.

The top-end variant of the Nox A14 is outfitted with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB of DDR2 memory, 128 GB SSD, Blu-ray and 9-cell battery. The “fastest 14-inch notebook in the world” is only available in Europe at the moment with prices beginning at $1450.

Hewlett-Packard is going to make an addition to its iPaq range of smart phones, according to unidentified people intimated about the company’s plan. The new iPaq smart phone is not going to be restricted just to business users, but will target ordinary consumers.

The phone is rumored to be headed to European store shelves first and might make an appearance there in about two month’s time. The new iPaq will feature a touchscreen, keypad and Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1.

A phone aimed at ordinary consumers might increase the popularity of the iPaq brand amongst plebeians, which in turn might have a positive impact on its market share.

Dell has always bolted out with top honors for the most galling customer service experience. Although it claims to be working earnestly at improving customer service, there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.

Dell has admitted to its British and Italian customers to having shipped Vostro 1310 and 1510 notebooks with a flawed keyboard, yet again. The said keyboards have a flawed layout with the ‘Z’ key wrongfully placed below ‘S’ and ‘D’ keys instead of ‘A’.

It had committed the same blunder just a month ago and subsequently apologized. Dell has no choice but to offer replacements which it is currently doing. But even mandatory replacements seem such a privilege with Dell’s customer-service credentials.

TV manufacturers are literally contesting every inch and when most gadgets are shrinking – in keeping with the dominant small-is-beautiful spirit of our times, TV manufacturers are spending millions on adding extra inches to LCDs and Plasmas. Now Sharp has unveiled the largest LCD TV in the world, a 108” behemoth.

The Sharp LB-1085 108” LCD is now on sale across Europe, and an outrageous sum of $185,000 and a ridiculous 16 weeks of delivery time is all that separates European consumers from it.

It is certainly not the TV you can move around your house at will as it weighs a staggering 430 pounds. It features Full HD, 400 CD brightness, 1200:1 contrast ratio and 6 ms response time. Its U.S launch is slated for September.
