HP Z220 SFF Workstation Review

, Jun 21st 2012 Discuss [1]

This week we’ve got our hands on the latest member of HP‘s workstation family in the HP Z220 SFF, and inside this box we’ve found what must be the easiest to modify computer on the planet. Not only can you plug and play everything you’ve come to expect from an HP whose case side literally has a giant hand-sized hinge made for opening, but you’ve got screw-less entry basically everywhere as well. Power of the machine that results aside, this is one fabulously presto change-o computing magician if ever have we seen one.

What we’re looking at today is the full package when it comes to everyday highly-connected at-home computing and entertainment from Acer. This is the Acer Aspire AM3970G-UW10P Desktop PC with 23-inch LED monitor, mouse, keyboard, and more USB ports than you’ll ever need to use.

In all ways, this is an Acer machine that was built not only to compute well, but to be seen: this isn’t your under-desk beast of old, this is a beauty if ever we’ve seen one.

ASUS teases dual-boot Android Windows 8 machine for Computex

, May 31st 2012 Discuss [8]

This year at Computex we're likely going to be seeing a dual-booting Android / Windows 8 device coming from ASUS, the company that brought you the dual-device PadFone last year at this same event. The device we'll be looking at will likely have much of the same impact of that device - that device having gone through quite a few revisions before hitting the market in the end with just Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich rather than its original Android 3.0 Honeycomb/Gingerbread combination. What we're expecting this time instead of a phone that plugs into a tablet is a tablet that plugs into a notebook - dual-booting Windows 8 and Android 4.0 might mean a whole new generation of ASUS Transformer Pads for the world by the end of the year.

HP Z420 Workstation review

, May 18th 2012 Discuss [7]

Workstation computers are strange beasts: it’s rare that someone more used to a traditional laptop or desktop will need them, or indeed, will be able to justify the extra expense. But for those who need massive amounts of performance for specific tasks, there’s no way to beat them. In contrast with their consumer products, HP’s workstations have earned a reputation as some of the best in the business, and we were thrilled to put the new Z420 Workstation through its paces.

HP launches Compaq LA2405x 24-inch LCD monitor

, May 8th 2012 Discuss [0]

If you're anything like me, the rise of 16:9 computer monitors is the bane of your working life - give me the (slightly) older 16:10 standard or nothing. That seems to be HP's reasoning behind the LA2405x, a 24-inch budget business monitor that bucks the trend of wider displays (with lower resolutions). The TN-LCD panel comes with a size-standard resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. Read The Full Story
