NEC claims its new Versa S9100 laptop to be the “toughest notebook in the world”. Its top cover is specially built to withstand a massive 300Kgs per square foot of pressure. However, the keyboard itself is not water resistant, too bad for a “toughest notebook in the world”. This desktop replacement also comes equipped with a fingerprint biometric sensor and TPM security chip combo. The NEC Versa S9100 laptop retails for a hefty US$2,700 in Singapore. [UberGizmo]

Dell has updated their XPS line with the M1730, now available with two of the fastest mobile graphics chips. It has a Core 2 Extreme X9000 mobile CPU running at 2.8GHz, a pair of GeForce 8800M GTX cards in SLI, and two 200GB 7200 RPM drives in RAID 0 configuration. The XPS M1730 is said to be the “fastest mobile CPU on the market”. Unfortunately the price is about $4,500 but it should be worth it.
