Backup isn’t generally seen as glamorous, and the Iomega StorCenter ix2 is unlikely to change that perception. A sober gray box, the ix2 is as compact as dual 3.5-inch SATA-II hard-drives will let it be. However inside there lurks an iTunes-compatible media server, printer sharing facility and optional CCTV recording and Bluetooth file [...]
The Apricot Picobook Pro - one of the few netbooks to use VIA’s 1.2GHz C7-M processor - has been put through its paces by the Register Hardware team, and while this isn’t the killer budget ultraportable the company might have hoped it was, it has its fair share of notable features. Aside from the CPU, [...]
You don’t have to be obsessive or a control-freak to want GPS tracking for your car: anybody with vaguely decent wheels who worries about theft has a vested interest in knowing that it’s stayed where they left it. Those, too, with teenage children could be excused for wanting to keep an eye on where [...]
The choice of ASUS Eee PC models keeps getting larger, and the company shows little sign of stopping until there’s a netbook variant for every individual person on the planet. On the SlashGear desk today is the Eee PC 1000HA, part of the company’s largest 1000-series netbooks but coming in at the relatively bargain [...]
We’ve something of a history with remote control helicopters here on SlashGear. They don’t crop up all that often, but when they do we find that readers go for them in a big way. Developments in contra-rotating blades and other cleverness has done a lot to minimize what user expertise is required, and [...]
With the holiday season fast approaching, we’ve been featuring quite a number of toys here on SlashGear that, in our geeky opinion at least, are likely to be must-have items if you’re under the age of twelve. However, as self-confessed jaded cynics we turned to SlashGear’s latest reviewer, 8-year-old Tanner McBee (and his capable assistant [...]
Intel are gearing up to launch their new Core i7 processor, formerly known as ‘Nehalem’, and so manufacturers are starting to put out compatible motherboards. Register Hardware have had the ASUS P6T Deluxe on the test bench, complete with six DDR3 RAM slots, 16+2-phase power design, three PCI Express 2.0 slots and onboard Crossfire and [...]
As cellphones encroach ever further into the domain of dedicated point-and-shoot cameras, the image performance they can deliver is becoming all the more important. Samsung’s recently announced Pixon is going head to head with LG’s KC910 Renoir: both have 8-megapixel sensors, touchscreen interfaces, autofocus and a flash. However not all cameraphones are created equal, and so [...]
As Apple’s flagship laptop, the MacBook Pro arguably has an easier time than the MacBook. With a reputation of superlative performance and style, the Pro is targeted at an audience who, to stereotype a little, has higher priorities than budget than those looking at the MacBook segment. It’s a double-edged sword, though: since the last [...]
Of all the things Apple should be blessing Steve Jobs’ Reality Distortion Field for, it’s the perennial success of the MacBook despite not having undergone a serious update in more than two years.
