gScreen’s Dual-Screen SpaceBook is Now Up for Sale (Pre-Order)
16 Jul 2011 - By Omar Mariño

The creators of gScreen’s latest contraption (the SpaceBook Dual-screen laptop) knew it was getting harder and harder to shock the jaded technophile community when they went into the brainstorming sessions that eventually gave birth to this beast.

New Tablets 2011: The Mania Continues!
2 Jun 2011 - By Omar Mariño

I’m still not hooked on the appeal of tablet computers. I like the concept but what they lack in functionality still has me believing that laptops are—at least for the moment—the superior portable computing solution. However, as they say, there’s no accounting for taste, so for those of you who may think my opinion a bit outdated and prefer a pocket-sized gadget (or at least small satchel-sized), this roundup is for you. Let’s start with MSI’s new offerings in the tablet field, the Enjoy 7 and Enjoy 10 WindPads. Read more >>

Trio of New Laptops for 2011: Stylish To Powerful With Nothing In Between
22 Apr 2011 - By Omar Mariño

I’ve never been one to put style over function—especially when it comes to computers. I want a machine that will do what I ask it to without hesitation and don’t really care what it looks like. However, for some PC manufacturers it seems that style is the deciding factor. Up for review today we have three new laptops set to hit the market in 2011 that try (and sometimes fail) to balance form with function. Up first is the Acer Aspire One 722.

Acer’s New Aspire All-In-One Desktop Model Hits Shelves in May
7 Apr 2011 - By Omar Mariño

I’m not a big fan of all-in-one desktop PCs. For the most part, they are underpowered and loaded with unnecessary bloatware, hampered by limited functionality, and poorly designed. Acer has set out to put a stop to that with their new Aspire Z5761. It is a 23 inch high definition model that packs everything up into a neat, well-designed chassis for roughly $1,300. Read more >>

ASUS has been trying to differentiate itself for a long time in the laptop market and to this end they’ve created the ASUS U36JC. It’s a 13.3 inch machine that’s only .76 inches thick at its widest point. And how much would you expect something so thin to weigh? How about just under 4 pounds? So what do you get inside this little chassis? Read more >>

The New Acer GN245HQ monitors may just look like another computer monitor trying desperately to cash in on the 3D craze that seems to be sweeping the nation, but it’s not.  It’s something very different.

NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 460 Blows Away the Competition
16 Jul 2010 - By Omar Mariño

I’ve always been a fan of NVIDIA cards.  No matter what generation the piece of hardware I get my hands on is, they always seem to outperform the competitions (especially ATI.)  However, in recent years, NVIDIA’s entries in the 3D acceleration race have been less than stellar.  Plagued by overheating issues and on-board processors that gobble up too much power, the company’s graphics cards have taken some flak from tech reviewers around the web.  However, the new GeForce GTX 460 is poised to put NVIDIA back on the top of the heap.
