When HTC revealed the Flyer a couple months back, there was no word on when the device VGP-BPS13/S would come stateside. Now that CTIA 2011 has passed, we have learned that the Flyer will appear in the U.S. as a 4G enabled tablet for Sprint, called the HTC Evo View. As for the Wi-Fi only model, Best Buy will be the exclusive seller of the new tablet beginning this spring.

"Over the past few months we've seen several new tablets enter the market, HP Pavilion DV6500 Battery and we're especially excited to partner with HTC to bring the Wi-Fi version of the HTC Flyer to our customers as a national retail launch exclusive," a Best Buy spokesperson said. Unfortunately, the retail price of the tablet is still unknown. HTC will have to price the Wi-Fi only Flyer quite competitively if it wishes to stand a chance against Apple dell vostro 1400 battery and other upcoming heavyweights such as HP, Acer, and RIM.

The 7-inch HTC Flyer will sport a 1024x600 resolution TFT display, 1.5GHz single-core Qualcomm processor, 1GB RAM, VGP-BPS13AS and run Android Gingerbread with Flash support and possible OnLive connectivity.

Lenovo ThinkPad E420s

First introduced back in January, the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E420s has now been made available through the official Lenovo online store.

The 14-inch laptop comes in a variety of configurations, but all options are limited to integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000. Of course, this should be no problem for most buyers as the E420s is geared towards business users. Other than the graphics limitation, users can choose from a 2.1GHz Core i3-2310M or 2.3GHz Core i5-2410M, 2GB to 8GB of RAM, Bluetooth, VGP-BPS13S and mobile broadband support. All models will run 64-bit Windows 7 with an optical drive, HDMI-out, USB2.0, VGP-BPS13B/S and fingerprint reader. Unfortunately, there are no USB 3.0 ports in the new E420s.

Additionally, the 1366x768 resolution screen will be covered with edge-to-edge lightweight glass to make the screen more durable.

Lenovo was recently labeled as environmentally friendly this year by the UL Environment Company for its line of ThinkPad laptops. It may be worth checking out what Lenovo has in store for its popular upcoming notebooks. The ThinkPad Edge E420s can be found here starting at $699.

MSI announces new GX680

As gaming laptops inch closer towards desktop performance VGP-BPS22A and weight, MSI is helping things out by launching their new GX680 gaming laptop. According to a press release by MSI, the new gaming laptop will feature the latest Sandy Bridge processors while also weighing a hefty 7.7 pounds.

While the GX680 appears to be an updated edition of the GT680, MSI is annoucing it as a new product in their gaming line. The 15.6” behemoth comes with a Core i7 2630QM processor, an NVIDIA GeForce GT 555m, VGA, HDMI VGP-BPS22 and USB 3.0. Taking the GX680 into the ranks of top gaming laptops are an optional Full HD Display with a 1920x1080 pixel resolution, up to 1.5TB of storage courtesy of dual 750GB HDD (Raid 0), an optional Blu-Ray drive and up to 16GB of DDR3 RAM.

The laptop will also come with MSI TDE (Turbo Drive Engine) technology that helps overclock the CPU VGP-BPS21A and memory along with the Cooler Boost technology that helps keeps the machine running cool. And of course it wouldn’t be an MSI gaming laptop if it didn’t come with the full neon light show VGP-BPS21 and Chiclet keyboard like its G series brethren. Unfortunately, MSI hasn’t announced when the laptop is due to hit markets, or how much it will retail for. However, if you plan on lugging one of these beasts on your back all day, then you might want to set something aside for chiropractor fees down the line.
