Apple recently updated its MacPro to come with two Quad Core Intel Xeon “Cloverton” Processors that run at 3.0 Ghz. And while Apple may “consider the bar officially raised” with its improvements, many customers will find the basic $4000 price tag difficult to manage.

Microworks recently announced their Vega notebook-a laptop with a 20.1″ screen, and jammed pack with features.

Microworks Vega has the latest AMD Turion dual core processor, a 1680×1050 resolution, 4 GB of DDR2 memory, a Blue-ray burner,  EV-DO, GPS, a TV tuner, and a whopping 600 GB of internal hard drive space. However, with a base price of $3599, and configuration price of up to $7800, most people will opt not to buy this monster notebook.

Samsung’s SPH-P9000 defies all categorizing: it’s a mix between a PC, a PDA, and a nice camera-phone.

Samsung’s P9000 uses Mobile WiMax and CDMA EV-DO. The P9000 measures 143×94x29mm and weighs only 580 grams. Allegedly, the P9000 will be available for less than $2000.

Here’s a neat YouTube video of Samsung’s P9000:
