vpr Matrix 200A5
Regular readers will know that I’ve been lusting after the widescreen vpr Matrix 200A5 laptop from Best Buy (it’s designed by Porsche Design of Austria). It has a 15.2-inch widescreen display (like the PowerBook G4), a 2.0GHz Pentium processor, 40GB hard drive, 512MB of RAM, DVD/CD-RW drive, 32MB video card, two FireWire and two USB 2.0 ports, and built-in 802.11b. It has a couple of unexpected features as well, like the ability to listen to CDs even when the notebook is powered off, and super-high fidelity sound technology called Sonopur.
