Computex is in full swing and with that brings a plethora of new toys for us to enjoy. ASUS today has shown off two new laptops that are sure to please anyone. The new laptops are the Lamborghini VX6 and VX7 and each take advantage of the latest technology available today. The VX6 is an 11.6 inch netbook while the VX7 is a 15.6 inch notebook and each resemble a Lamborghini supercar in the design styles.

Panasonic Launches New Lumix FX75 Camera
Panasonic has shown off its new point and shoot camera today, the FX75, and it sounds like a very good option if you are in the market for a new camera. The camera packs a 14.1 megapixel sensor, a 24mm ultra wide-angle F2.2 lens with 5X optical zoom, and HD video recording capabilities. The HD video is recorded in the AVCHD Lite format though you also have the option to record in Motion JPEG, WVGA, and VGA. The FX75 also has intelligent picture processing options as well to help make the shots the best they can be. On the back you will find a 3 inch touchscreen that has a pretty nifty touch-to-focus function that I hope shows up on more cameras.
No word on pricing or availability was announced at this time but expect more information on that before long.

E Ink Shows Off New Displays
E Ink, the company behind the screens of the same name, has shown off some new displays that are brighter, crisper, and apparently more flexible. The displays are all currently prototypes and the flagship model of those promises crisper and brighter colors. Now, the display is still not a full color screen but it instead has a filter applied on top of the black and white E Ink panel to make the colors brighter and deeper. Another display shown off was "fully flexible" though it could not display color. Yet another display could even display Flash video though E Ink was not letting anyone take video of it in action. Like I said, all of these displays are still prototypes so time will tell before any of them show up in e-readers.

Globalfoundries Looking to Expand
The joint project between AMD and an Abu Dhabi investment group, Globalfoundries Inc., is looking to expand and increase its chip making capacity. Still trailing Taiwan Semiconductor by a large margin, the company views this as a smart move. Demand shows no sign of decreasing, and a little extra competition in this sector couldn't hurt. The $6 billion that will be spent for this upgrade will be focused at the Dresden, Germany and upstate New York plants. The recent surge in demand for tablet PCs is helping to drive demand for build-to-order chip makers.
