As promised, Acer’s Aspire One budget ultraportable is now officially available in the US. The notebook, intended to rival ASUS’ wildly popular Eee PC, uses Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom CPU, an 8GB SSD (or 120GB standard HDD) for storage and runs the Linpus Lite Linux OS (with Windows XP Home as an option). It weighs 2.17 pounds [...]
In the months since we last wrote about InGrid’s DIY monitored security system, I’ve neither been burgled nor vigorously fleeced across the cobbles; however home security does remain close to my anxious heart. The company has now updated their range with a number of accessory units ideal for the perpetually paranoid, spanning from live-view IP cameras, through [...]
This past week we’ve been able to take a closer look and get a hands-on with the Toshiba Satellite Pro U400. Having already shown you the unboxing, it was time to see just how usable the U400 was in practice. We had high hopes for portability, and we weren’t disappointed; this small laptop hasn’t been hard to carry [...]
Mac-owners, cease your ongoing protests against the cold-shoulder of Logitech.

In competition with the OLPC project, Intel is finally going to start selling their notebook for prices ranging from $300 to $500. Some of the newer models will have fewer features and thus require less power, but they are also pushing out models with both a 7 and a 9 inch screen, a 30GB HDD [...]
Dr. Who is one of the many highly recognizable symbols among geeks everywhere and now you can have a Dr. Who inspired webcam. Specifically, capturing a detailed Dalek design.
This Eee competitor is more inline with ASUS’ newest offerings, but this notebook will be available a bit sooner than the new Eee. It has 3G, choice of SSD or HDD, and choice of 8.9 or 10.2 inch displays.
The 3G comes in the form of a tri-band HSPA modem that works in the US, Asia, [...]
LucidTouch is an interesting concept that just seems like it would have a pass or fail type of learning spike. Essentially you get the touchscreen on the front you are used to, the one you use your thumbs on, and then via either a rear mounted camera or some other sort of touch sensor, your [...]
When they can fit a webcam into a milimeter-depth notch in a laptop’s screen bezel, a manufacturer would have to be offering something pretty impressive to sell one standing eight inches tall on your desktop. But Boynq are positioning their Alibi unit as something more interesting than a simple way to video chat with [...]
