This is something that will have the Footballers’ Wives set squealing with glee—if they’re planning a trip to the Far East, that is. LG’s new Z1Pro laptop has been designed with Vista’s Sideshow in mind. The shiny black portable boasts a 2.5-inch display on the top cover, complete with touch-sensitive buttons à la, rather like the Korean company’s Chocolate cellphone from last year. This means you can get music playback, photo slideshows, email, calendars, world clocks, stock quotes, RSS feeds, etc. without draining the battery. Price in Singapore dollars is $2999 ($1970 US)
