HP ENVY 17 3D Review

, Jan 1st 2011 Discuss [31]

Welcome to a review of the biggest fattest HP 3D desktop replacement notebook you’ll ever come across. Not that it’s the biggest that’ll ever be made, but when you’ve got this thing sitting on your desk, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without such an abundance of screen real-estate on what the world, up until recently, was calling a laptop computer. This is the HP ENVY 17 3D, and not only does it have full 3D capabilities and a width bigger than your humble narrator’s torso, it’s got a screen so bright it makes the real world seem yellow.

Scooterputer Features a Thermaltake Element V Case on a Scooter [Video]

, Dec 16th 2010 Discuss [2]

Having a customized PC case, whether for just showing off to people or for your favorite gaming rig, usually means that it's stuck in the room you put it in, without much of an option to actually carry it places. But, thanks to a scooterputer, that's not really an issue, considering the PC is actually part of the scooter. That gives you the ability to tuck away plenty of power for your gaming needs, but also have that portability you might have desired so much. Read The Full Story

Mobile Device Dominates American’s Hearts and Pockets

, Oct 15th 2010 Discuss [1]

I love the research from the Pew Research Center. In their latest report called "American's and Their Gadgets" they shared that the cell phone is the most owned piece of personal technology among American's.   The report details that 85% of American's now own a cell phone with Desktops and Notebooks fighting for second and third.  Now this shouldn't shock anyone given how hot the mobile device sector has been over the past few years.   However it is interesting to note the ownership of the other devices referenced in the report. When reading the report it was not surprising that the mobile phone is heavily owned and desired by younger consumers however the report indicated that 58% of adults 65 and older now also own a mobile phone.    I would be curious to see more data about how this breaks down for feature phones vs smart phone ownership but that will have to be for a later report.   I would like to call attention to one more piece of data on this chart.

My routing job usually consists of cramming the extra wires into the vacant 5.25-inch bays in the front of the computer. Read The Full Story
