Lenovo, the Chinese manufacturer of computers, promises to become the first company which will start the output of a product devoted to the 2008 Olympic Games. Lenovo representatives announced release of the first notebook with symbolics of the future Olympic games, informs Gizmodo site.

Under the red Coca-Cola cover with Olimpic rings of the new Lenovo notebook:

* Intel M778 processor, 1.66GHz
* Intel 915GMS chipset with GMA900 display chip
* 12.1 inch wide screen monitor
* 512MB DDR2 memory
* 80GB hard disk
* External Combo drive
* WiFi, Bluetooh, 56K modem, and 100Mbps ethernet port

* Build in 1.5W stereo speaker
* 3 USB ports, 1 IEEE1394 port
* All-in-one memory card reader
* Dual batteries for 8.5 hours usage
* Weight: 1.4KG

This will cost 13,499RMB ($1,687 US), and should be released before the 2008 Olympics (duh). All in all, it’s not a very powerful laptop for quite a bit of money, but if you’ve got the Olympic fever, the only cures are this Laptop and more cowbell, and we’re all out of cowbells.
