Lenovo releases Coke-themed F20 laptop in China

by Evan Blass, posted Jun 20th 2006 at 1:13PM

Even though the U.S. government may want nothing to do with its computers, Lenovo's still got so much love for the red, white, and blue that it's releasing a special-edition notebook branded with one of the most recognizable American icons: everyone's favorite tooth-decaying soft drink. Oddly enough, the company's Coca Cola-red, Pentium M-powered F20 was designed in honor of the 2008 Olympic Games -- which are not only two years away, but taking place in China, and not the U.S. (where was this lappy in 1996 when the Games were held in Coke's hometown of Atlanta?). Anyway, besides the snazzy paint job and stick-on Olympic rings, this version of the F20 is pretty much your run-of-the-mill 12.1-inch laptop, sporting an ULV 1.66GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, integrated graphics, an 80GB hard drive, and all the ports, wireless radios, and card readers you've come to expect from notebooks these days. Obviously priced in yuan, this model is going for the equivalent of $1,575, but since Lenovo knows that you can't possibly resist drinking a Coke while you're using this machine, they're throwing in some of that high-tech Batmobile-style armor plating on the house.

Olympics-China-Persecution of Falun Gong-Boycott Only Makes Sense

The torture and oppression of the Tibetan people is not China's only Human Rights abuse issue...perhaps you should educate yourselves about their torture of those who practice Falun Gong before deciding to support this oppressive monster by attending the Beijing Olympics...face it, CNN's Jack Cafferty was being nice in his comments...sure if Jiang Yu could arrange it, she'd love to imprison him for his insolence and torture him. Could you fall victim to China's Brutal Regime while in Beijing for simply speaking your mind?

Falun Gong Deaths Escalate as Olympics Approach

Torch of Hope and Human Rights Upstages Olympics-Beats China Thugs To Canberra

In yet another public relations slam for China, the Human Rights Torch beats the Flame of Shame to Canberra, successfully stages peaceful protest in front of the oppressive Chinese Embassy. The torch meant to bring attention to the Human Rights abuses of the Chinese Government is doing a fine job, and out shining the Chinese Torch around the world. Conveniently, Jiang Yu and other Chinese oppressors had no comment on the Human Rights Torch arrival.

The international relay of a human rights torch has arrived at the Chinese Embassy in Canberra, where a strong police presence kept protesters on the opposite side of the street.

The relay, which started in Athens in August, is aiming to draw attention to abuses of freedom in China ahead of the 2008 Beijing Games.

Catholic Bishop Pat Power says it is important that China realises their human rights violations are not being ignored overseas.

"What they're doing is quite in contravention to what the Olympic spirit is all about," he said.

"The Olympic spirit is about tolerance. It's about different nations coming together respecting differences and so on and that's certainly something that's not happening in China at the moment."
