At 360 x 269 x 37mm and 6.8-pounds, the Rock Pegasus 665-T72 manages to house a 15.4-inch WSXGA+ display. This notebook can handle just about any task, thanks to an Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.0-GHz) processor, 2GB of DDR2-667 SDRAM, NVIDIA Geforce Go 7600 graphics, 100GB SATA HDD, and a dual-layer DVD burner.

The specification will easily handle demanding packages and the screens will provide you with a productive desktop or stunning media experience

One of our readers just sent in a Military Channel documentary on the Metal Storm Weapons system, which is “based on an electronically fired gun-and-launcher design with multiple rounds stacked in a single barrel.†For those who missed our previous post, check it out here. Video after the jump.
