If you are in a hot pink mood, this hot pink laptop will look good on you. Also, you can listen to your iPod while it charges in the car. Gadget Grrl says it comes with ClearScan -- just press one button and the device will scan for the clearest FM station.
If you're tired of lugging around a boring black or silver laptop, you might want to consider picking up one of the vibrant colored
Soliton laptops from Elonex.
The bright yellow, blue or hot pink colors make this laptop hard to miss.
Specs on this include 1.73 Ghz, 512 ram, a 60GB hard drive, Wi-Fi enabled, 12.1" display, DVD dual optical drive, mini card slot and it comes loaded with Windows Basic.
TuneCast Auto lets you listen to your iPhone or iPod in the car while it charges. It also comes with something called ClearScan, which automatically searches for the best and clearest FM station. That way you don't have to pull over or look for another station if the one you were using cuts out. Just press one button and the device will scan for you.
You can also charge your iPhone or iPod with this device and it's got a high-contrast display, making it easy to see what station you are dialed in to.
