Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:52:30 +0000

We wrote about Asus going fashionable with their low budget Eee PCs. It surprised me personally since I did not expect Asus to try and get the Eee PC to compete with the higher classes. I know you people love your Eee lappies, but lets accept it, its just a low budget get the work done kinda computer. But if Asus is serious, and so far it looks that way then the Eee PC may no longer be looked down upon.

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 14:41:51 +0000

Reports on the internet of Windows 7 are surprisingly good.

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:02:42 +0000

While writing about the Lenovo all-in-one A600 yesterday, I didnt come across this nugget of information.

The words should be cross-referenced in dictionaries since it goes without saying that paying a significant amount of attention to studies does definitely take its toll on the pocket. Luckily for us, Dell computers has come up with a laptop that is not just affordable but even likable.

Designing your own CD with laser etched designs on its face gives personalisation a whole new dimension. While a bit on the pricey side, drives capable of doing this have been available for some time now. However besides the price factor, they were also hampered by low speeds.
