Thermaltake NBcool T2000 Notebook Cooler Review
Techware Labs :: Tuesday, February 05, 2008
“If you own a notebook then you are probably aware of how hot they get. Heat is well known as the number 1 killer of computer components so it is important to keep your investment cool and among the living. Justin has a look at the T2000 notebook cooler by Thermaltake and approaches it with from the unique perspective of not only its cooling properties but also how it affects your battery life and the battery savings due to the cooling effect on your CPU and components.”

Cowon Q5W MP4 Player Review
Digital Trends :: Tuesday, February 05, 2008
Cowon proves that making a media player more like a handheld computer isn’t such a hot idea.

RAZER Destructor Pro Gaming Mouse Pad Review
Futurelooks :: Tuesday, February 05, 2008
When I was handed the Razer Destructor Pro Gaming Mat (aka a Mouse Pad), and was told to do a review on it, I have to be honest and say I didn’t really know where to go with it. I mean, it’s a mouse pad; you put your mouse on it, and you go. Not being a career PC gamer, I found it hard to understand the depths that a high quality mouse pad such as this could mean to the PC gaming experience. I mean, really, aren’t all black textured mouse pads all the same?

A-DATA Nobility N702 4GB USB Flash Drive 
techPowerUp :: Tuesday, February 05, 2008
A-DATA is known for their unique USB flash devices. The new Nobility N702 is no different. It looks so fancy, that it can be used as a necklace or key chain with its shiny metal casing and tugged away USB connector.

Logisys UltraSlim Keyboard
techPowerUp :: Tuesday, February 05, 2008
The Logisys Ultra Slim Soft Touch Multimedia Keyboard has much more to offer than just your average keyboard. It has a two-tone matte/glossy black finish to compliment the very slim and compact design. The keystroke is soft and very quiet, while the palm rest ensures maximum comfort. Combine this with a range of internet and multimedia hot keys, and you have a recipe for a great product with a great price.

Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 USB Webcam Review
Everything USB :: Monday, February 04, 2008
About 15 years ago, AT&T had a commercial where they talked about exciting future consumer technologies; things like movies on demand, digital video recording, and my favorite, video phone calls, Star Trek style. The premise of the commercial was that AT&T was going to bring you this exciting future, so you should give the company lots of money now. As it turns out, the commercial was wrong, but the ideas were correct; we have on demand, we have DVR, and – thanks to instant messaging, VoIP, and webcams, we have video phone calls. This concept is something Microsoft understands very well – they’ve integrated a group of programs around a few different webcams, including the subject of today’s review, the VX-7000 USB webcam. Today we’ll be seeing whether or not this video package makes the video phone dream an easy-to-use reality.

HP iPAQ 310 Travel Companion Review 
Digital Trends :: Monday, February 04, 2008
“The HP iPAQ 310 tries to be fifteen different things in one, including a GPS receiver, PDA, MP3 player, video player, handheld gaming device, and more. Sadly, it’s a jack-of-all-trades device that is not very good at any of these things. We’d cut it some slack if just the GPS worked as expected, but sadly even that functionality is plagued with issues. The overall main issue with this product is that regardless of what feature you are trying to use, it is not user friendly, and in most cases reading the manual won’t help since it’s remarkably incomplete and lacking information on a wide array of topics.”

KillerNIC: a statistical analysis
Nordic Hardware :: Monday, February 04, 2008
“There is perhaps no other product that is more controversial and generates more heated debates around the ‘Net than the Killer NIC. It makes big claims, and the difficulty is that traditional testing methods may not give a full representation of the card’s abilities. As a result, I’ve spent weeks testing and exploring the Killer’s resulting impact on lag, framerates, and responsiveness, running it through the paces, gathering massive amounts of data.”

Lexar 12-in-1 USB2 Card Reader Review
ASE Labs :: Monday, February 04, 2008
” This is the current generation of Lexar card reader and it features a plethora of card support. You can read CompactFlash (types 1 and 2), Smart Media, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMediaCard, xD-Picture Card (Type M and H), SD Card, SDHC, MicroDrive, MS Duo, MS PRO Duo, miniSD, and RS MMC. That’s pretty much the available options on the market right now. They still include support for Smart Media which is so outdated. ”

Razer Destructor Mouse Mat
techPowerUp :: Monday, February 04, 2008
Razer Destructor is the name of the newest hard gaming surface that uses a new surface technology. The Destructor features the all new “Fractal” surface that should enable you to get the best tracking out of your laser or optical mouse.

Samsung SGH-D880 Dual SIM Mobile Phone Review 
Tech ARP :: Monday, February 04, 2008

Connectivity is enhanced as the SGH-D880 user can be served by two networks at any one time. The perfect companion for multi SIM users such as frequent travelers and business professionals.

Data Robotics Drobo Storage Robot Review
Dragonsteel Mods :: Monday, February 04, 2008
” Data Robotics have come out with a wonderful storage solution that not only provides oodles of storage space, but also, redundantly backs this data up across multiple drives. The best part of this system is there is it requires minimal user intervention. Their product is the Drobo, the world’s first storage robot, which is a one stop solution for redundant data protection. The Drobo is an external storage device with four user accessible hard drive slots that use 3.5″ SATA hard drives. The maximum capacity of the Drobo is only dependent on current hard drive size limits.Setup is beyond simple and fairly idiot proof. ”

SanDisk Sansa Clip MP3 Player Review 
Techware Labs :: Monday, February 04, 2008
“If you are looking for a highly portable and cheap MP3 player then check out Jason’s review of the SanDisk Sansa Clip. We compare the Clip against the very populat iPod on several levels and give you the results. Is the SanDisk Sansa Clip worth your money? Read our review.”

Spire Dart Laptop Sleeve
APH Networks :: Monday, February 04, 2008
Things change rapidly in this world — this is especially apparent in the technology world. The center of attention shifts focus on the latest processors, motherboards, chipsets, video cards, and just recently, form-over-function laptops. ;) Hey, just kidding. Speaking of which, what do you carry your laptop in? The laptop case market is bigger and better than ever, especially with the widespread use of computers in this form. If you are one of those carrying your laptop in those classic business laptop bags that’s almost like announcing to the world you have an expensive computer equipment in your bag, and looking for something with a lower profile, or simply searching for something that’s more stylish to carry your laptop your laptop in (And of course, less geeky), we’ve got something interesting today that seems to fall within all categories — the Spire Dart — which is like a sleeve, but with a little more. I’ve been searching high and low for a sleeve that, at least on paper, meets all my requirements — the Dart being one of the rare ones. How well does this bag step up against the rest in real life? Let’s examine this product closely today.

Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 Fully-Rugged Notebook
IXBT :: Monday, February 04, 2008
“Rugged notebooks are a special class of mobile devices. They have to meet special requirements even compared to regular corporate notebooks. You cannot address these notebooks with general choice criteria. Today we are going to review a rugged notebook designed for maximum efficiency in hostile environments-Panasonic Toughbook CF-30.”

iSkin Revo & Revo Clip for Apple iPhone
Legit Reviews :: Monday, February 04, 2008
“The iSkin Revo is available in 6 different colors to match your mood and your outfit. iSkin gives the colors some very hip names like: Rah, Zahra, Nighthawk, Mojave, and Diablo. The “Bluish” colored Revo that we field tested was called Blade. Blade…Nice! Priced at $40, iSkin includes the silicon protector, a privacy film that is compatible with either the iPhone or iPod Touch, and a ViSOR – an ultra-clear polycarbonate scratch resistant screen guard. The Revo’s silicon protector even has an anti-microbial agent (Microban) that protects the iPhone and its user from bacteria that can congregate. I can certainly appreciate this as it is really disgusting to use a phone after someone has been sweating and breathing heavy on your device. Yuck…”

Logitech MX510 Paint Mod Guide 
Tech ARP :: Monday, February 04, 2008
“For some reason, Logitech loves coating their products with a black rubbery layer, I hate it cause it always peels off and attracts dust like a magnet. That, by itself, is annoying enough but it’s now even worse. Because the MX510 is so old, its rubbery layer has begun to “melt”, and become sticky and gooey. Dust sticks to it very easily but can’t be wiped off. It also leaves a gooey residue on your hand after use.”

Styx Gaming Mouse Review
RB Mods :: Monday, February 04, 2008

Kingston 19 in 1 Card Reader
Driver Heaven :: Monday, February 04, 2008
Anyone who knows anything about computer history should be aware of the Kingston brand as for the last twenty years they have been producing memory products. Since their inception in 1987 Kingston have continued to expand and develop their product catalogue from including network and storage devices in 1993 to becoming the first memory manufacturer to co-market memory upgrades with a PC-OEM in 1996. In recent years they have launched Value RAM and HyperX. Excellent business decisions mixed with a quality product range have seen Kingston become a very successful manufacturer. Today we have one of their latest products in our test labs, the Media Reader.

Creative ZEN – 4GB Review
Xtreme Computing :: Monday, February 04, 2008
“Having recently reviewed the creative Zen Stone Plus a few months back, which I highly recommended, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Creative’s new flash-based ZEN. This highly featured digital media player allows the user to play MP3, WMA, Audible and WAVE file types, plus WMV support Movies and Photos on the move, bringing you a whole world of entertainment at the touch of a button. The model we have today is the 4GB version, but the ZEN is available in three other sizes to choose from, and that’s not all the ZEN is hiding under its belt…”
