And you thought the MacBook Air was light. The Sony VAIO X Series ($1,300 and up) is the world's lightest notebook, weighing just 1.6 lbs. and measuring just over a half-inch thick thanks to an amazing lightweight carbon fiber body. Other features include a 16:9, LED-backlit LCD display, a multi-touch trackpad, built-in Verizon 3G, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, SSD storage, a 2GHz Intel processor, GPS, and Windows 7.
SaveIf you've been wanting an ultra-thin laptop but wouldn't dare pick up a computer with a screen smaller than 15 inches, feast your eyes on the Dell Latitude Z ($1,800 and up). Featuring a svelte body that's just 0.57 - 0.79" tall, the Z weighs in at just 4.5 lbs., and features a Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at either 1.4 or 1.6 GHz, up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM, four-cell battery, a soft-touch Black Cherry finish, two USB ports, one DisplayPort, Wi-Fi, optional built-in 3G wireless, Bluetooth, and a gorgeous 16-inch, 1600x900 display with a touch interface built into the bezel.
SaveWhile Nokia might not be the first name you'd think of when shopping for a new netbook, the company is looking to change that with the Nokia Booklet 3G ($TBA). Running what looks like Windows 7, the Booklet offers solid specs, including an Intel Atom processor, a 10-inch HD display, integrated A-GPS, 3G/HSPA, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, a built-in SD card reader, HDMI output, webcam, an impressive 12-hour battery, and stylish aluminum chassis.
SaveBeen itching to try out this whole netbook thing? Do yourself a favor and scoop up a Samsung Go Netbook ($440). Designed by award-winning Japanese artist Naoto Fukasawa, the pebble-like Go offers a host of great features, including a 10.1-inch LED-backlit 1024 x 600 screen, 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM, Intel graphics, Wi-Fi, a 1.3-megapixel integrated webcam, Bluetooth 2.1, 9 hours of battery life, an integrated memory card reader, and more. There are four rubberized colors to choose from, but we're partial to the Uncrate Orange one.
SaveIt's great that Apple has moved almost all their laptops over to the über-solid Unibody aluminum format, but not so great for those that liked the understated black models of MacBooks and PowerBooks past. The new Stealth MacBook Pro ($6,000) coats the new 15-inch MBP with SofTouch material, leaving it with a no-nonsense matte black finish that any spy would be proud of. Other features include a custom matte screen, a 256GB SSD, 8GB of RAM, and an aire of exclusivity that only a limited edition run of ten units can buy.
SaveGive up on that mythical iTablet for a minute and feast your eyes on the Archos 9 ($625; Fall 09). This thin (0.63'') netbook/tablet PC device sports a 9-inch touchscreen and runs Windows 7. Powered by an Intel ATOM Z515 processor, the Archos 9 features an 80GB hard drive, webcam, Bluetooth, optical trackpoint, Wi-Fi, built-in speakers, and optional 3G wireless.
SaveApple completes the family and ties the tubes with the introduction of an all new MacBook Pro lineup today. The MacBook Pro Aluminum Unibody Family ($1,200-$2,500) gains a 13-inch kid, while the 15-inch and 17-inch models get upgrades across the board. All models now have up to 40% longer battery life thanks to a built-in notebook battery that lasts seven hours on a charge. The family also shares LED-backlit displays with better color, the Multi-Touch trackpad, an illuminated keyboard, a new SD card (13 and 15-inch) or ExpressCard slot (17-inch), a FireWire 800 port and new NVIDIA graphics. The whole family can be upgraded with up to 8GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive or a 256GB solid state drive. The 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pros can also be beefed up with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
SaveLooking for a netbook that can handle the multimedia tasks of a normal notebook? Check out the Lenovo IdeaPad S12 ($450 and up; June 2009). Offered with the Nvidia ION graphics platform, the S12 can handle HD video playback, and sports a full-size keyboard, 160GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, a 12-inch, 1280 x 800 display, an Intel Atom processor, a 4-in-1 card reader, an ExpressCard slot, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, three USB ports, HDMI-out, and Windows XP.

The Dell Latitude E6400 XFR Laptop ($4,300) is a beast of a laptop, engineered to withstand the toughest environments. Thanks to Dell's Ballistic Armor Protection System, the XFR has 2-times the impact strength of magnesium alloy and a higher drop-tolerance than any other computer in its class. The proprietary PrimoSeal technology makes the XFR nearly impervious to dust, dirt, liquid, and wind. And this machine is as smart as it is tough, packing Intel Core 2 Duo processors, a fast charging battery, and a 14.1" impact-resistance LCD screen. IT management has never been so rugged.

It's about time. Apple finally updated its long-in-the-tooth non-aluminum laptop today with the release of the new MacBook ($1,000). Bringing it up to speed with its Pro counterparts, the new base-level MacBook features a polycarbonate unibody design with a non-skid bottom surface, an LED-backlit 13.3-inch display, a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA 9400M graphics, Apple's latest built-in battery technology for up to seven hours of battery life, and a glass multi-touch trackpad. Sadly, there's no black option this time around.

SaveFrom the makers of Baconnaise and Bacon Salt comes a bacon-flavored product that you don't even have to eat. J&D's Bacon Lip Balm ($13/4-pack) will protect your lips with beeswax, aloe vera oil, Vitamin E acetate, and other ingredients, all while offering a subtle bacon flavor both you and your partner can enjoy.
SaveMost of us don't have the engineering, design, or architectural chops to recreate any of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterworks, but we can anyway, thanks to these new Frank Lloyd Wright Lego Architecture Building Sets ($TBA). Licensed by the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection, these terrific sets — of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater — were developed in collaboration with leading architects to be as accurate as possible, and come with booklets that not only tell you how to build you own model masterpiece, but exclusive archival historical material and photographs of each building, as well. [Thanks, Kris]
SaveEver wish you could combine your dual-monitor setup into one behemoth display? Get ready, because your wish has come true in the NEC CRV43 Curved Widescreen Display ($8,000). Boasting a unique curved design that's sure to immerse you more than a standard two display setup, this beauty also features a 2880x900 double WXGA resolution, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, single link DVI-D and HDMI inputs, USB 2.0 ports, an on screen display, and the assurance that you have the most unique monitor in the neighborhood. [via]
SaveEver wish you could take a Jägermeister shot machine with you camping, tailgating, and partying? Now you can, with the Jägermeister 6-Bottle Shot Cooler ($120). Available as a six-bottle value pack, the cooler has plenty of room for all six bottles, ice, and the requisite cans of Red Bull, and uses the same tech as the Jägermeister Tap Machine to deliver ice-cold shots straight from the external tap.
SaveShow your fang affiliation by stocking your fridge with Tru Blood ($16). Based on the synthetic blood drink favored by the more civilized vampires of HBO's True Blood, this carbonated real-world version packs a slightly sweet, slightly tart blood orange flavor and a rich red color that will have guests wondering if you're drinking the real thing.
SaveFlapjack lovers, rejoice. Now you can make fresh, 97% fat-free pancakes in as little as 30 seconds using the ChefStack Automatic Pancake Machine ($3,500). This microwave-sized wonder uses no-mess batter pouches to crank out stack after stack of four- inch diameter pancakes, and doesn't even require supervision, letting you cook up breakfast for you and your crew while you get your other morning activities out of the way — like taking a shower, brushing your teeth, or downing a half-dozen mimosas.
SaveWe love bacon, and we've seen everything from Canned Bacon to Baconnaise, Bacon Salt, Bacon Floss — hell, even Bacon Lip Balm — so it was only a matter of time before we discovered Bacon Soap ($6). Made to both look and smell like frying bacon, this soap will get you clean while giving your appetite a jump-start on the day.
SaveOne of the worst things about adding ice to a whisky is its ability to water-down the flavor. So chill your next drink down with Whisky Stones ($20). Milled in Vermont by some of the oldest soapstone workshops in the US, these stones chill quickly in the freezer, and won't impart any flavor to your favorite blend.
SaveTempted by the MINI's go-cart handling, but not a fan of its boxy exterior? The MINI Coupé Concept ($TBA) is for you. Ready to accept any of MINI's powerhouse engines, including the 1.6L twin-scroll turbocharged unit from the MINI John Cooper Works, this stylish two-seater pairs a decidedly MINI-like bottom with an aggressively designed upper half, including a swept back windshield, short contrast roof, hidden B-pillars, and more sexy than every other modern MINI combined.
SaveLeave it to the air maestros at Dyson to create a fan with no blades. The Dyson Air Multiplier ($300-$330) uses a fairly ingenious design to suck air into the base, accelerating it through an small aperture in the device's ring and then over a ramp to channel its direction. As it happens, this also causes the air behind and around the machine to be drawn into the airflow, creating a smooth stream of air amplified 15 times, without the unpleasant buffeting caused by the blades of a traditional fan chopping the air. The only downside? It's a $300 fan.
SaveThink you've seen or read all the great books and films there are to digest? Think again. City Secrets Books & Movies ($14 each) are your guide to gems of cinema and literature that are mostly overlooked, compiled from recommendations given by some of the world's most well-respected minds on either subject, including Alec Wilkinson, Kenneth Turan, Marty Scorsese, and Sidney Lumet. Good luck finding copies of — and time to watch and read — all of them.

Looking for a way to monitor your energy usage and cut down on power bills during the economic crunch? Check out the Black & Decker Power Monitor ($100). This easy-to-use device provides real-time electricity use, cost, and outdoor temperature readings, thanks to a wireless sensor that attaches to your electricity meter. Offering an Appliance Mode that isolates the cost of individual appliances or gadgets, it could save you up to 20% each month on your power bill — meaning it should pay for itself in no time.
SaveKnown primarily for its sporty pro outerwear, the new line of Arc'teryx Veilance ($175-$1,000) tops, coats, and pants combines tough, outdoor-ready fabrics like Gore-Tex and Paclite with more traditional cuts and syling, letting you dress your best no matter what the weather's like outside. And no, we don't know how you're supposed to say "Arc'teryx."
SaveForget simulated wood grain — Shwood Sunglasses ($95) are handcrafted from actual wood. They're available in two basic styles, the Wayfarer-like Canby and the more squarish Govy, and can be ordered in a variety of different woods, all with your choice of Carl Zeiss lenses. Just remember: these probably aren't the best shades to wear to the beach, water park, or campfire — we're guessing they're at least a little flammable.
SaveTackle the great outdoors -- or just yard work -- in the coldest of weather in the Timberland Utility Jacket ($150). With straightforward looks, it's not exactly a flashy piece of outerwear, but it does the job, with a rugged cotton twill outer, nylon polin and polyester fleece lining, a front zipper with button flap cover for added wind protection, dual snap-close side pockets and two cargo-style chest pockets, slightly distressed details for a worn-in look, and stitched down shoulder epaulettes.
SaveWho needs buttons? Apple's Magic Mouse ($69) eschews mechanical buttons and scroll wheels, letting you navigate using the same Multi-Touch technology used on the iPhone and MacBook trackpads. The sexy, seamless, touch-sensitive device works as a single or multi-button mouse with advanced gesture support, allowing you to scroll, pan, or swipe with ninja-finger skill. Works for you freakish lefties too.
SaveWhat would you pay to be Don Draper or Roger Sterling? How about to look like them? The Brooks Brothers Mad Men Edition Suit ($1,000; October 19) pays homage to AMC's hit show with a medium gray sharkskin suit designed by Janie Bryant, the Emmy-nominated costume designer for the show, and is modeled after Draper's and Sterling's wardrobes. Features include a noticeably slim cut, diagonal pockets, narrower notch lapels, and side vents. Limited to just 250, the suit is made in a Brooks-owned factory in Massachusetts, and while it might be more classically stylish than your current attire, don't expect it to magically turn you into Jon Hamm.
SaveJust in time for undeadliest of holidays comes The Horde T-Shirt ($18). This black American Apparel tee sports a terrific print of a single character wielding multiple weapons on the roof of a car as a horde (get it?) of zombies surround him. While it won't pass as a costume per se, it's certainly festive, and if you happen to harbor a secret zombie obsession, you'll no doubt find yourself wearing it all year long.
