MacBook Air First Thoughts Review

1:19 pm

For those of you who have been living in a cave for the last month, the MacBook Air is Apple’s newest 13.3″ ultra-thin notebook offering cutting edge design in a remarkably thin package. With Intel Core 2 Duo processors, Intel X3100 integrated graphics, an optional 64GB solid state drive (SSD), and a stylish yet tough design, the MacBook Air might be one of the hottest 13-inch notebooks on the market in 2008. Let’s take a closer look.

Reviewed: Dell XPS M1530

2:54 am

When Dell released the XPS 1330 last year it was lauded by many as the best-looking laptop of all time. The look, size and build quality were perfect for the mobile traveller who needed something a little different. In many respects, the Dell XPS M1530 is simply the same machine but with a larger screen.

However, why change when you have a winning formula, such as the body being made from brushed magnesium-alloy that feels great to the touch and also makes the body solid and robust. The lid has a matt finish and you can choose from a range of colours, which adds a hint of personalisation to your laptop.

The screen is a 15.4-inch Super-TFT panel that has a standard 1280 x 800-pixel display that proved sharp and bright. This is due to the use of the 500nit backlit, which is twice the brightness of most […]

Reviewed: Sandisk Sansa Clip

2:49 am

This flash-based MP3 player is pitched as a rival for the iPod Shuffle or the Creative Zen Stone but manages to have a style all its own. Measuring 56 x 36 x 13mm, it manages to incorporate a 25mm screen that is far more usable than on the Stone. The controls are straightforward, but it’s the addition of a Home button than really stands out, as this is a one-click operation to get back to the start menu.

It gets its name from the clip on the back, similar to the one found on the iPod Shuffle, so you can attach it to the collar of your coat. With 1GB of space on offer – a 2GB version costs £35 (inc. VAT) – this isn’t a mass storage device but it’s fine for the gym. There‘s also a dedicated volume on the right-hand side. When it comes to […]

January 30, 2008 10:40 am

Webcams are one of those helpful products that just don’t get much attention.

Philips is ready to shake things up with their latest high-resolution webcam that delivers video up to 90 frames per second! Let’s take a closer look at how awesome a webcam can be.

Acer Ferrari 1100

10:01 am

The Acer Ferrari 1100 is a stylish, full-featured ultraportable laptop, but its disappointing battery life won’t sustain users who spend a lot of time away from the outlet.

Reviewed: MSI Digivox Mini II V3

1:11 am

Portable TV tuners are made up of two elements: the hardware and the software. In terms of hardware, the MSI Digivox is a large USB dongle with an RF antenna at one end that plugs either into your roof aerial or the supplied portable version.

With support for 1080i High Definition broadcasts, which you’ll need a subscription for, this works as a standard digital terrestrial TV tuner, so you can receive Freeview channels. You also get a brightly coloured remote control unit, which has large buttons and woks well.

Extras in the box include a USB extender, so the tuner doesn’t obstruct your other USB ports – essential if they’re all backed together as they are on most machines. You’ll also find a mini-aerial but as with all portable tuners this is only as good as your local signal, so it’s best to use a rooftop aerial whenever possible. […]
