It has quite a few unique features including the fantastic Retina Display, multi-touch touchscreen, both an accelerometer as well as a gyroscope for precise motion controls and a beefy processor for impressive graphics.
Gaming on Linux? That’s not something we hear every day just yet, but it looks like the good folks at Valve might be considering a penguin revolution. In one of the latest beta releases of Steam for Mac, Phoronix spotted a mention of the open-source platform in the launcher script, and we were also able to verify this code ourselves. Furthermore, the eagle-eyed Linux blog has previously seen a handful of evidence hinting Linux compatibility for Valve’s Source gaming engine. We’re probably still a ways off from any announcement (if ever) so for now, let’s just leave the guys alone — we don’t want to distract them from bringing the Portal goodness to our Macs now, do we?

MSI’s gaming laptops have looked the same for years, but we aren’t going to judge. As Mother always told us, it’s what’s inside that counts, and the new GX640 — now stateside after a two month vacation in Europe — is quite the upgrade. That familiar red-and-black chassis now houses a 2.26GHz Core i5-540M alongside 4GB of DDR3 memory, and the 1680 x 1050 LCD display is driven by a Mobility Radeon HD 5850 for mondo graphical performance. 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, a six-cell battery and a 500GB, 7200RPM HDD round out a value-packed $1100 Amazon.com package, but if you’re looking for a little more juice (and prepared to squeeze), you’ll find you can customize this mean, 5.8 pound machine with a Core i7 CPU, up to 8GB of RAM, SSDs and a nine-cell Li-ion at XoticPC.

We love an innovative fix to a problem, and so were immediately smitten by the Game Gripper when we saw it in action. It’s a little keypad that slaps on over the keyboard of your Motorola Droid or Milestone, turning it into what looked like perhaps the most perfect blend of smartphone and portable gaming machine we’d ever seen. (Sorry, N-Gage.) Naturally we had to try it, and the Gripper’s creator, Hyrum Fairbanks, was kind enough to send us one to test — even customized to match the Engadget Mobile color scheme. Is it worth the measly $15 he’s charging for the thing, and is it good enough to execute a hadouken? Read on through to find out.
