JVC Everio GZ-HD7.

With true 1080p LCDs and projectors emerging, it seems the era of High Definition entertainment is here. Trust JVC to make a mark. Their Everio line-up of compact camcorders has a new member-the first ever camcorder to incorporate recording at 1080p. JVC, anticipating the enormous size of video clips at this resolution, has been thoughtful enough to drop in a 60 GB hard drive.

Want to watch your recordings? The GZ-HD7 gives you three digital connects-HDMI, USB, and i-Link. At around $1,800

(Rs 85,000) it’s a steal!

Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 5


When you think BeoLab 5, think revolutionary! A breakthrough marvel in acoustic engineering, it took six years to develop this speaker system. For the first time you have complete freedom to place speakers wherever you want to in a room without bothering about acoustics. The aural experience is completely independent of your position in the room, and so is the volume level (irrespective of how high and low it may be).

This level of pure sound is possible because of Acoustic Lens Technology, which ensures a constant tonal balance while you move around. BeoLab 5 is also totally digital, meaning the speaker can adjust to changes in its environment by automatically reprogramming itself. It also monitors heat levels  to ensure smooth playback for prolonged periods while avoiding damage.

Available in India at an MRP of Rs 12,20,000 a pair, you’ll have to mortgage your house to buy one, but this is every audiophile’s dream! Just in case you don’t have 12 lakhs to blow, find a showroom near you at their site, and beg for a demo!

Alienware Area 51 7500

When thinking of Area 51 think big, think huge, massive, think out of this world. It railroads all lesser “high-performance” rigs, grinding them beneath its monstrous processing power-whether central, graphics, or audio! Under that alien-ish looking body purrs real horsepower. How does an Intel Quad Core QX6700 at 2.66 GHz sound? Throw in 4 GB of ultra-low-latency DDR2 800 MHz memory. Add two GeForce 8800GTXs with 768 MB of GDDR3 memory. And finally, a Creative X-Fi Platinum. Wait, there’s more-a 30-inch Dell widescreen monitor supporting 2560 x 1600, and a RAID 0 array of 10,000 rpm drives. Price? A mere Rs 2.8 lakh-less or more, depending on what you want to add or subtract.
