Compact computer maker Shuttle has been offering Linux desktops for a while, and barebone systems with no operating system at all. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that the company is the latest all-in-one desktop with Linux. But I’m always surprised a little.

The shuttle X500V is a dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Atom 330 CPU, 1 GB of RAM and a 160 GB hard drive – all the information you expect the delivery of a computer with Windows XP. But instead, it runs OpenSUSE 11.1 Linux.

The computer measures about 15.4 “12,9″ x 1.4″ and features a 15.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel touchscreen display, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Ethernet, VGA output (for a second monitor, I suppose), and 5 USB ports. It is not in the United States.

We are big fans of laptop bags that looked like nothing of the sort, but the laptop sleeve from Mitemite takes the idea a step further.

Made of the plasticised material, the sleeve is designed to look like a folder broadsheet newspaper, and five “have issues” from around the world available to general – Le Pais, La Vanguardia, The Herald Tribune, La Gretezza Dello Sport and Frankfurt.

The sleeve measures 377 x 275 x 34mm and is intended for use, an Apple MacBook Pro, but there is no reason why he will not be used, similarly sized laptops.

Apple MacBook Air owners have a similar option, the newspaper sleeve available from Italia Craft. The case is to minimize wool-free cloth to (the risk from static electricity) and is similar to an anonymous vintage newspaper.
