As laptops get faster and better specified, so the potential threat to your lap increases; the market for heat-dissipating mats has increased massively over the past few years. Unlike foam-filled pads or risers bristling with fans, though, LapLogic sandwich a layer of Aerogel - the best thermal insulator known to man, and capable of [...]
When you want to get the most performance out of your gaming rig, you’ll naturally want to try and overclock it. However, you have to deal with the excess heat put off by your CPU (or whatever component you’re overclocking). One option is to get a bigger heatsink and throw in some extra fans, which [...]
So, I’ve had the Clari-Fi for almost two weeks, I know it’s only been a couple of days since I posted about it, but I wanted to get a feel for whether it was working or not before I said anything. Bottom line, it is working. It is also worth the extra dough.
Lenovo probably wouldn’t admit it, but you get the impression they’re quite pleased with how they managed to crash the ultraportable party. Apple’s achingly-thin MacBook Air seemingly had just scant moments to enjoy the limelight, before leaked details of Lenovo’s own, Windows based rebuke, the X300, started to turn up. Before long, the [...]
We’re not exactly afraid of every bump in the dark and creaking floorboard here at SlashGear, but all the same it’s nice to know that, when you’ve a sneaking suspicion that there could be something monstrous under the bed, there’s a torch to hand. That’s why it’s been useful to test Life+Gear’s hand-cranked PSD [...]
I received the VisionTek Radeon HD 3870, which happens to be the first DX10 card we’ve reviewed here at SlashGear. Unfortunately this means that we do not have a suitable card to compare benchmarks to. Don’t worry though, we’ll have more in the future for comparison.
HTC have made a name for themselves with capable, business-friendly smartphones, and when back in March 2007 they first suggested they were turning their hand to the UMPC market there was no shortage of interest. Boasting full Windows Vista support, as well as a cut-down quick-start SnapVue interface for basic tasks, QWERTY keyboard, touchscreen and [...]
Last week I received an Ultra Products m998 Mid-Tower ATX Case for review. I love new PC cases, and have never used one from Ultra before, so I was excited to test it out. Before getting into the review, I’d like to mention that I am almost obsessive about my cable management (a couple of [...]
Packing a laptop with a full-sized keyboard, screen bigger than many use with their desktop and the sort of specs that gobble through even the most capacious of batteries has always struck me as cheating a little. Call me old fashioned, but I do like my notebook to be portable and my desktop to be [...]
I’m truly amazed at just how much time I’ve spent playing my Wii lately. I mean, knew that I’d be into it, but it has been dominating most of my gaming time of late. I’ve picked up new game that I thought I’d share with you, thought you’ve probably experienced it elsewhere before. I’m [...]
