Gateway M210XL Review
Designtechnica :: Thursday, March 24, 2005
“The M210 series of laptops from Gateway is the company’s new line of lightweight laptop computers and competes directly with Sony’s S series, Dell’s new 700M, and a few of Panasonic’s more stylish Toughbook laptops among other brands. Weighing in at 5.29lbs the M210 is Gateway’s lightest laptop currently available and features a wide-screen display and some pretty powerful hardware under the hood. When it comes to styling, Gateway has pretty much been hit or miss but we think the new M210 has the stuff to compete with the likes of Sony, but ultimately you will have to decide on that. There are three models available in the M210 product line. The M210S which starts at $749.99, the M210X which starts at $999.99 and the ultra-loaded M210XL which is what we are reviewing today.”

Corepad Magna Review @ PCModdingMy
PC Modding Malaysia :: Thursday, March 24, 2005

“Considering if you have a gaming system worth up to $3000 and equipped with a lethal gaming mouse, the Corepad Magna will definitely be worth buying. Getting plenty of mousing surface on a high quality mouse pad gave me the freedom to draw, design, surf and frag my way to satisfaction. Having a glassed mouse pad is good but having a scratch proof mouse pad is something great. Backed with an extremely hardwearing scratch proof surface and with a trusty 3 years warranty, the Corepad Magna is the best mouse pad that money can buy!”

AeroCool AeroEngine Jr Case review @ XtremeResources
Xtreme Resources :: Thursday, March 24, 2005

“Not a decade ago, most computer systems looked exactly the same. Beige, simple looking cases and monitors were norm all over the place. However with the dramatic rate the computer industry is progressing today, and with most modern households having at least one PC available has created many different needs. The beige, dull looking cases had to go since aesthetics matter a lot to most people. Recently, cases began to change at a rapid rate, with most companies offering modern designs and colors to match every mood and pocketbook. Today, I have a futuristic case to check out, which looks more like an airplane’s engine than a computer case, the AeroEngine Jr. The AeroEngine Jr is made by AeroCool, which is a relatively new company in the computer industry, established during 2002 in the USA. They have their own R&D and manufacturing ability, so they are able to grow fast and quickly in the industry. Let us see if the AeroEngine Jr case can really take off.”

The Tech Zone :: Thursday, March 24, 2005
Proponents hail RFID as the next natural step in our technological evolution. Opponents forewarn of unprecedented privacy invasion and social control. Which is it? That’s a bit like asking if Christopher Columbus was an intrepid visionary or a ruthless imperialist. It depends on your perspective. One thing is clear: As RFID extends its roots into common culture we each bear responsibility for tending its growth.
