Gamers with top-range laptops, this news is for you. NVIDIA spread the word that the GeForce 9M line for mobile computing platforms has been finalized and put to market, prompting the consumer electronics division of every laptop brand known to mankind to update their product portfolios. But are they worth the jump to the latest, greatest, and most undoubtedly, priciest? Find out at the full story.

For those of us in Japan and are interested in buying a new laptop no matter how pricey it gets, then Toshiba's got your back. In this news update, we catch wind of the electronics giant updating two of its laptop lines, the Qosmio and the Dynabook. Check out the relevant stats and figures of what could be your next weapon against ignorance (and disorganization) in the full article.

Toshiba recently unveiled two new additions to the ever-growing Portage R500 sub-notebook family, the R500-12P and the R500-12Q. The latest laptops boast of packing 128 GB of solid-state storage. Find out more on these in the full article.

A whole bunch of companies involved in the use of LEDs and laser diodes in mobile phones, high-def players, and data storage devices are currently facing an investigation by the U.S. International Trade Commission on charges of patent infringement. More in the full article.

In life, it helps to have someone who can hold you accountable for your actions. In the case of electronics companies, it seems that Greenpeace is their accountability partner. The organization has recently released the current company rankings in its Greener Electronics Scale. To find out how certain companies fared, get "green-minded" and turn to the full article after the jump.

If all else fails, the best thing to do is move on. Toshiba is keeping their hands busy with Dynabook SS RX1 - the first notebook with a 128GB solid-state drive. Not only that, see how this big-capacity baby ward off four-foot falls and coffee spills over at the full article.

Ok, it's been a few months since the Transformers movie, but it'll still be some time before transforming gadgets-slash-robots will get old. Besides, these new transforming cellphones from Toshiba are just too cute. Go to the full article for details and pictures.

Asian consumer electronics giants Samsung and Toshiba are teaming up to give the NAND flash memory market more options. The two have agreed to license their proprietary NAND wares to each other so that the industry can rely on more than just a single producer.

It's a fact: battery life is one of the more pressing issues that laptop owners have to deal with every day. Some even go so far as to lug along an extra charged battery to avoid running out of juice on the go, while some have to make room in their busy schedules just to plug in their laptop somewhere and have it charged.

Those practices may become the thing of the past, however, if reports of batteries that last for 30 years without charging are true. Apparently, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory is now working on one such battery that runs on betavoltaic power.

How does it work? The radioactive material that slowly decays inside the battery emits beta particles which turns into electricity. The decay process is very slow, slow enough for it to run about 30 years without charging. The batteries can be used for electronic devices such as laptops and mobile phones.

Surprisingly, these batteries won't be as large and heavy as most other laptop batteries. Next Energy News supposes that these long-lasting batteries will be small and thin, and will not heat in the same way as conventional batteries do. Can we say goodbye now to burned laps (or laptop explosions)?

This is certainly one very exciting gadget to look forward to. Will we see it in the near future? We sure do hope so.
