Porsche is going to build a hybrid. How about that? Yup, the Porsche 918 Spyder, which to date was only a concept car, got the go-ahead from the board at Porsche. They already have over 1000 people on a buyer’s list.
This is a 500hp 3.4-liter V-8 car that gets 78 mpg, has a 198 mph top end and can go 0-60 in 3.2 secs. Not bad.
Lenovo is showing off their intriguing new tablet, the U1 Hybrid, that also doubles as a netbook. By itself, it is a 1.5lb, 8h4 multi-touch tablet running Linux, but dock it in its clamshell with keyboard and it instantly becomes a Windows 7 netbook.
Has a Snapdragon CPU, and 3g and WiFi for Net access. Available in the 2nd half of this year.
Uh-oh Apple, you’re getting pipped in the tablet department – you better have something amazing to show off.
This is one of our pricey gadgets, but boy is it a nice one. Lexus has just launched a brand new hybrid model, the HS 250h. You’ll probably have seen TV ads already, and will notice ads showing up in print and on billboards soon. The ad campaign’s slogan is “Hello Someday” as in someday your car can have all of these various advanced technologies and someday is today. Well at least in the HS, and sure enough, the HS is really chock full of gee-whiz features.
Here are just some of those features:
In addition to the features, the HS touts eco-friendly feature such as recycled materials, ecological plastics and reduced emissions. That is just a sampling of features. Lexus has put together a nice website that shows off these features nicely with videos and more.
The HS 250h starts at approx $35k.
Ok, sure this is just another desktop computer, but I love the look of this Dell – it’s a Studio Hybrid and not only does it have an interesting look with its stylistic stand, but it comes in 7 cool colors. Dual core CPU powered with up to 4GB RAM, up to a 320GB SATA hard drive and a side loading CD/DVD burner means this is more than just good looks.

Price: starting at $449

Dell is getting deeper into the personalized PC market with the launch of the Studio Hybrid. You can customize the exterior look with one of 6 different colored sleeves (including the pricey bamboo option). The Studio Hybrid starts at $499, and is meant to be a general purpose PC, and even includes an HDMI port. Of course, you can customize it beyond its color, and can include for example a Blu-Ray Disc, a TV Tuner and WiFi.
