    Windows 7: This time Microsoft gets it right 13/11/2008 09:36:00

    Microsoft may call the newest version of its operating system Windows 7, but you may want to think of it as Windows 6.5. In overall look and feel, it mimics Vista, although there are enough changes to make it far more than just a juiced-up service pack.

    How to equip your PC with SSD for about $200 23/09/2008 11:45:00

    A lot of solid-state disk (SSD) drive reviews and features have been circulating around the Internet lately, and I've noticed that the speeds of those products are increasing remarkably, even as manufacturers use more multilevel cell (MLC) NAND flash memory in their products, which is innately slower than single-level cell (SLC) NAND.

    Fujitsu’s latest refresh of its S-series is the LifeBook S6520. Although the chassis design has remained largely identical for the last three generations, the S6520's processor is fast and punchy and the screen is big and bright.

    Linksys NAS200 24/04/2008 14:00:01

    The Linksys NAS200 is an affordable network-attached storage enclosure aimed primarily at home users. With its twin SATA hard-drive bays, pre-installed backup software, built-in media server and HTTP/FTP client capabilities, it certainly appears to have all major networking requirements covered. However, the absence of a Gigabit Ethernet connection hamstrings transfer speeds; an oversight that will deter many users. Furthermore, a range of design and interface flaws reduces its overall appeal.

    Quick -- what was the first personal computer you ever owned? You don't have to think about it for even a second, do you? No matter how many machines you've had over the years, you always remember your first -- usually with great fondness.

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-SF20 26/02/2008 13:49:08

    In recent years, it has become customary for camera manufacturers to release a tiered range of models at barely distinguishable prices; presumably in an attempt to cover every shopper's budget. For proof, look no further than the Lumix DMC-FS20, a premium point-and-click camera that retails for just $50 more than its sister model (the DMC-FS5).

    Sony PMW-EX1 08/02/2008 15:03:00

    The Sony PMW-EX1 is the world's first professional-level camcorder to use flash memory based ExpressCard media. As such, it marks an interesting new direction for the digital video industry, which until now, has traditionally stuck to tape. Sporting a Fujinon Professional HD lens specifically designed for this unit, with a trio of 1/2in CMOS sensors and recording capabilities of up to 1920x1080p, it arguably offers the best image quality of any camcorder on the market. It will surely suit all manner of industry professionals and independent filmmakers -- provided they're bold enough to adopt a pioneering (read: unproven) technology.
