New Toshiba Satellite laptops

Remember those new Satellite's Tohiba that dropped in Europe a week or two aga? Seems like they're making the scene Stateside starting today, alongside several of thier siblings. As previously noted, the A500 is a 16-inch multimedia machine (starting at $ 749.99), while the U500 ($849.99) is a 13-inch guy more suited on-the-go computing. Newly announced are the M500/M505 (with 14-inch high-def LED display, starting at $ 699.99) and P500/P505 (an 18.4-inch desktop replacement with slot loading DVD drive, starting at $ 799.99). All the new Satellites include multimedia command keys, webcam, face recognition software, harmon/kardon speakers and, of course, the worl reknowned eSATA/USB combo port.

We've been getting handful of readers queries per week recently about Gateway's well-known line of budget gaming laptops. The FX system, including the most recent models the P-7805u FX, have always impressed with mid-high-end components, big screens, and-most importantly-low prices. But these models have an unfortunate habit of vanishing from store before next update is ready, leaving PC gamers in lurch.

Fortunately, two new models are within reach (although one isn't really all that new), even if ther're not available for sale yet. Gateway lists both P-7807c FX and P-7809u FX as "available soon," (wich usually means Newegg.com). Note that the P-7807u FX isnt't exactly brand new- it's been available sporadically in some areas, but it looks like Gateway is "Relaunching" it at discounted price.

Both keep same Nvidia GeForce 9800 GPU (which is getting a bit long in the tooth), but the prices are still hard to beat, and these should be fine for all but the most hard-core, frame-rate-obsessed gamers.

Apple Introduces MacBook Wheel

Okay, well, not really, but there on the eve of Mac World 2009, we thought we might have a little fun. We adore The Onion here at Gear Live, and we saw this video, we had to share it with you. After all, we know that Mac fanbos will buy anything, that prices on new Apple products can be high, and that somethimes battery life can be horrible. The Onion used that fodder to put together the masterpiece you see above, the first Apple notebook with no keyboard.
