Toshiba’s Satellite range went through a shake-up back in April, arguably in an attempt to bring some of the multimedia Qosmio gloss to its more bread & butter machines. Out went drab casings and middle of the road specs, replaced with a stylish new design and the promise of healthy performance. SlashGear has been taking [...]
When Aliph released the original Jawbone nearly two years ago, I felt as if I was the only person in the world that didn’t like the look, thought the design too bulky, and wasn’t all that impressed by the company’s “noise shield”. So how do I feel about the Jawbone 2? Well, let me put [...]
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.

Before long, the [...]

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 [...]
