Helios H4000 Review
Tech Bitch :: Wednesday, April 02, 2008
“You’re not getting true HD, but the Helios H4000HD is a reasonable player for DVD buffs who want to get the most from their HDTV without spending hundreds on a ‘true HD’ DVD player. The major criticism I had with the player was its build quality – the buttons on the unit itself are very noisy when clicked, DVDs frequently stuck (requiring me to force open the drive bay), and the remote control looks like an afterthought. Plus, the on-screen menu is painfully slow and subtitles keep appearing every time you pause a movie – how annoying! But, for the price it’s a steal.”
Sony ICD-UX80
Tech Bitch :: Wednesday, April 02, 2008
“Let’s not get carried away. The ICD-UX80 is a decent voice recorder, but it is a million miles away from being a proper MP3 player or preamplifier microphone. If you consider price, music playback capability, compact size, MP3 recording functionality and PC connectivity a priority when purchasing a digital dictation device, the ICD-UX80 should be exactly what you’re looking for. If audio quality is the main priority, such as for podcasting or other types of broadcasting, you’d be better off with a proper microphone. But for the latest in personal digital dictation, the ICD-UX80 is not bad at all. We just wish Sony would sort out their unintuitive interfaces and make their products easier to use.”

IXBT :: Wednesday, April 02, 2008
“Like most people neither wear designer clothes nor live in villas, most users cannot afford expensive powerful graphics cards like GeForce 8800GTX or RADEON HD 3870 X2 and choose cheaper solutions instead. So, this time we are going to review three Mid-End graphics cards of the $100-$180 price range and a more expensive HD 3870. All our contenders today are based on AMD (ATI) RADEON GPUs.”
Audiotrak Maya EX5 CE External 5.1 USB Surround Audio Solution
IXBT :: Wednesday, April 02, 2008
“Audiotrak has launched an external USB device, Maya EX5 CE. It differs from the previous Maya EX5 product only in colors. The title of the new product now includes CE, which stands for Crystal Edition. Unfortunately, such a nice name did not affect technical characteristics of the device, all parameters remain the same.”
Vvikoo 9600GT 512MB Review
XS Reviews :: Wednesday, April 02, 2008
“Well it’s finally here, the 9 series of GPUs has hit the shelves and the reviews have already poured in thick and fast. I know we’re a little behind everyone else on this one, but our 9600GT review is a bit different. Vvikoo’s monstrous 9600, comes with a whopping Zalman heatsink and some hefty factory overclocking. Let’s see what it’s made of.”
Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 X2 Graphics Card
Tweak Town :: Wednesday, April 02, 2008
“The latest HD 3870 X2 to make its way into the labs comes in the form of a stock clocked Sapphire. We actually haven’t checked out the X2 on our new test bed in any real detail, so we’ll have to see how it goes here today.
If you’re looking for a HD 3870 X2 that doesn’t do anything but produce some good numbers, this could be the card for you. Fortunately, there is only one way to find out so let’s get stuck into the card and see what we have on our hands today before we get into the benchmarks.”
Logitech Harmony ONE Review
OCC :: Wednesday, April 02, 2008
the 890 while the additional buttons one up the 1000. While the touch screen is smaller than the 1000, I found that with my size XXL hands I did not have any issues pushing the correct feature or setting on the touch screen. The feel of the One in my hands was actually more comfortable than the 890 Pro due to its wider dimensions and more ergonomically correct feel. It just felt better to use. The buttons are large and spread at a comfortable distance so that one handed operation is easily accomplished.”
ASUS VW222 22-inch Wide-Screen Review
Techgage :: Wednesday, April 02, 2008
The display market is chalked-full of models that fill up the quality spectrum, from sub-par up to high-end. The VW222 falls into the sub-par category, sadly, with overall poor color representation and noticeable screen-door effects, resulting in a model that should not be considered for purchase.

Asus 8800GS TOP Videocard Review
RB Mods :: Wednesday, April 02, 2008
Today we take a look at a relatively inexpensive videocard from Asus. We recieved a sample of their 8800GS card that cost around 200$. This card is cheaper than the 8800GT card but can it compete with it at all or will it fall behind in every test we put it through? How does it perform and is it actually worth even looking at this card? Those are a few questions that we will digg deeper into.
