Panasonic Toughbook W4



The Panasonic Toughbook W4 lives at the lonely intersection of good looks and ruggedness. When it comes to notebooks you usually get it rugged or get it attractive, not both. Panasonic's line of semi-rugged notebooks changes that: they're very cool looking yet they can withstand bumps and grinds better than standard notebooks. They're light weight too, again not something you generally find in a rugged design. Now before we go on too long, keep in mind that their semi-rugged offerings are a separate line from the well-known long standing line of fully ruggedized Toughbooks which are more suited to military expeditions and archaeological excavations than daily use.


Most but not all of the semi-rugged Toughbooks are very light weight, and the W4 is no exception, weighing in at only 2.8 pounds including its very high capacity battery. While many utralights sacrifice an internal optical drive, the W4 has a combo DVD/DW-RW drive with Panasonic's trademark pop-up lid design.

The UMPC is not a sit-on-your-desk computer, nor is it even a sit-on-your-lap computer; rather, it is a hold-in-your-hands computer. It is so small and lightweight that you can hold it in your hands, much like you would hold a book. It also sports a touch screen, making it super-easy to do tasks both simple and complex.

Mesh Computers Elite Ice 7



The first thing we noticed about the Mesh Elite Ice 7 Core i7 920 PC was the incredibly heavy mass of power cables that had pulled itself free during transit – an odd design choice to be sure.



However, Mesh has done a good job with component selection – there are plenty of big names on display. The Asus P6T SE motherboard boasts good features, and the HIS HD 4850 graphics card is a capable partner to the 22in Iiyama ProLite screen, although the 1,920 x 1,080 resolution will push its limits.


The 500GB Samsung hard drive may be small by modern standards, but there's still plenty of room – and there's space for more hard drives, too. Given the component selection, we were surprised to find the Elite Ice 7 sluggish in use (it performed admirably in the benchmarks).

Acer Aspire Timeline 1810TZ - 11.6



2008 was the year of the netbook; 2009 is the year of the 'affordable' ultra-portable laptop. It seems self-evident now, but netbooks showed Intel, AMD and other manufacturers that there was a sincere demand for affordable, portable laptops. Netbooks fall short of fulfilling that demand, but this year has seen a number of products aim to fill the gap. Acer has been at the forefront with its Aspire Timeline and TravelMate Timeline ranges: notable successes being the Aspire 4810T and the TravelMate 8371. Its latest effort, the Aspire Timeline 1810TZ, looks to set the bar even higher.


We'll say it straight now: the 1810TZ is about as close as we've ever come to giving a laptop (netbooks not included) a 10/10. Why it doesn't receive such an accolade will be revealed in the course of the review, but suffice to say the margins are extremely slim. What's important is that, rather like what the Samsung NC10 did for netbooks, the 1810TZ distils exactly what an affordable, ultra-portable laptop ought to be. Ironically our first point of reference for how to get it wrong is another Samsung product, the recently reviewed X120.

Sony VAIO CW Series (VPC-CW1S1E/P) - 14.1



Plenty of manufacturers offer their laptops in a range of colours, but Sony has been at it for longer than most. One can trace this all the way back to the C Series in February 2007, which was replaced by the CR Series in August that year and then the CS Series last year. Unfortunately, while the outgoing CR was rather smart, the CS was quite a significant step backward, so we weren't surprised to see it swiftly replaced by the CW with the advent of Windows 7.


There are five colours available: white, red, pink, blue and black. As you can see we have the pink version which, regardless of personal preference, is probably the least desirable option of them all. Even those who like pink will find that the brighter, more vibrant shade seen on the lid and palm rest doesn't sit well with the rather sickly, pale shade used on the rest of the machine. No real complaints can be made of the other choices, though, and we particularly like the red/black and white models.

HP's Speedy MediaSmart EX495 Server



With the addition of more processing power (2.5GHz versus 2.0GHz), HP's MediaSmart EX495 not only bested its EX487 stablemate that we reviewed earlier this year, but proved to be the fastest network-attached storage box we've ever tested. Move over, Synology DS209+ II! The EX495 was particularly fast during virus scans and at finding files thanks to the indexing feature of its Windows Home Server operating system.


The EX495 ships with one 1.5TB drive instead of the two 750GB units that the EX487 features--which means there's no possibility of data redundancy unless you add another drive. The EX495 is otherwise physically identical to the EX487, with four bays (three open) for internal storage expansion, as well as four USB ports and an eSATA port for external storage and printers. It's also one of the more attractive-looking units on the market.

the Right Business Desktop Computer



Decide on a CPU (Central Processing Unit)-The CPU is essentially the brain of the computer, and thus, a great place to start when choosing a computer. As a result, CPUs are divided into three groups: traditional single-core processors; dual-core processors, which boost performance for demanding applications; and quad-core processors, which provide unmatched performance for power-hungry multimedia and software applications. HP has a nice selection of Intel Core 2 Duo desktops at affordable prices.Make sure you have enough memory (RAM)-Random Access Memory (RAM) is temporary storage that provides the working space for your computer to operate.
Select your hard drive capacity- Your desktop’s hard drive is where all data is stored, so when it comes to storage capacity, too much is never enough.
CD/DVD Drives-CD and DVD drives read data on discs in a variety of formats.

High Display LCD



Digital display will address each and every one of the pixels by using a fixed matrix of vertical and horizontal dots and if you will try to change the resolution settings, the LCD will scale the image and then the quality of the image will have to suffer. You will find typical native resolutions at: 17 inches - 1024 x 768, 19 inches - 1280 x 1024 and for the 20 inches monitor the most likely one that you will find id the 1600 x 1200.


The brightness or the luminance is the measurement of the amount of light that your LCD monitor will produce. It will be given in nits or one candelas per square meter - cd/m2. One nit will be equal to one cd/m2. .

Dell XPS 410



The Dell XPS 410 is one of the first Dell’s computers to incorporate new Intel Core 2 Duo (Conroe) processor. Made for home entertainment and office productivity, the XPS 410 cheapest configuration costs $1595 at Dell’s site. For that price you get Core 2 Duo E6300 processor running on 1.86GHz, nVidia Geforce 7300LE (256MB) graphics card, 1GB of RAM and a 320GB SATA hard drive. In $1595 price is included 20-inch UltraSharp 2007FPW Widescreen Digital Flat Panel monitor and a 16x DVD+/-RW. The Dell XPS 410 comes with Windows XP Media Center 2005 Edition. It’s interesting that there is no option to purchase this PC with XP Home or XP Pro. This PC is Windows Vista Capable.

Toshiba Portege A 600



It is a small laptop with a 12.1-inch display, powered by the smart Intel Centrino 2 processor technology, which enables up to 7.5 hours of continuous operating time, and created entirely by Toshiba.


“Toshiba continues to assert its expertise in the ultraportable market place by today's release of the mainstream Portégé A600,” said Carl Pinto, vice president, product development and marketing, Digital Products Division, Toshiba America Information Systems. “This new laptop PC is an incredible new design that is specifically engineered by Toshiba to meet the needs of mobile professionals and is available at an extremely attractive price.”

Choosing the Best Laptop Computer



With the best laptop computer and a wireless Internet card, you’re ready to take on the world. You’ll enjoy gaming, music and movies on the go. You can study anywhere. You’ll love being able to work on the beach. Your boss will love sending work home with you.


A new laptop should have either a dual-processor AMD chip or a dual-core Intel chip. This new technology splits processor functions between two integrated chips, providing a more speed and processing power. Processor speeds are measured in gigahertz (GHz). Bigger numbers mean faster speeds. Look for laptops with processors that run at 2GHz or higher.

Rilakkuma netbook



Being incredibly hungover can sometimes mean you're still hammered from the night before. Add a netbook with a picture of a cheery mammal on it, and you really begin to ask yourself: am I still dreaming?
But we're almost certainly not. The netbook you see before you is from Japan (where else?) and is manufactured by Bandai Namco. It's a netbook with the usual specs, bar one. See if you can spot it:
Atom CPU
1GB of RAM
Windows XP
Bear on the chassis
Yes that's right: there's a bear on the chassis. Specifically, it's Rilakkuma -- a brown beast from some Japanese picture books. Wikipedia tells us his interests include relaxing, eating dumplings and, more recently, appearing on consumer electronics.

Computer Components



Computer components can usually work in many different kinds of computers. Often you can pull a component from one computer and put it on the shelf and then use it again later. Doing this, though, often leads to piles of computer components that you don't know if or how well they work. If you have just one component that you want to test, or if you have a whole shelf full, there is really only one way to go about testing the components, and that's to test them manually
