Toshiba Portégé R600 Review

By Ewdison Then on Thursday, Jul 23rd 2009 No Comments

Toshiba may not have the fashionable appeal of Apple, nor the solid reputation of Lenovo, but they do know how to push the envelope.

Legitimate business tool or shallow one-upmanship? SlashGear decided to find out.

Dell slash Adamo ultraportable by up to $500

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jul 22nd 2009 1 Comment

Dell’s Adamo is admirable for a Windows ultraportable, but when they snuck glances over at Apple’s notebook range they really should’ve stopped before they got to the prices. $1,999 was simply more than most people were willing to pay; happily Dell have finally realized that, and cut the entrance price to their Adamo range to $1,499.

Samsung SMX-K40 and K45 entry-level solid-state camcorders

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jul 14th 2009 No Comments

The Samsung SMX-K40 and SMX-K45 both conform to the standard palmcorder format, but actually they’re not quite as technically capable as the U10; each can record up to 720 x 480 resolution, rather than their upright sibling’s 1080p.
