Laptops/PCs/Apple

Flash memory devices are not only appearing with increased storage capacity but also extra functionality. Verbatim’s latest Store ‘n’ Go product is a prime example.

Just six months ago I attached this unit to my main work PC, it is normally in use for around ten hours a day. It has also done stints on other systems and even connected to notebooks.

Do you need to increase the space on your desktop? Then why not change your bulky CRT monitor for a slim line LCD screen.

With different DVD formats available, it can be difficult deciding the type of media to use. Why not opt for a drive that supports all formats.

DVDs, video, music, images and television are the main ingredients of a media centre. They can all be found on a notebook from Acer.

Not just another bland PC in a tower case, I first saw a pre production sample six months ago, after much nagging from me I got a production model for a short loan recently.

There are occasions when your portable device needs help with its audio output. Saitek Audio believes its a-200 speaker system could be the solution.

As one of the two main means of interacting with your computer, the choice of keyboard is important. A new offering from Microsoft combines comfort and functionality.

Interested in a laser mouse, or maybe, a wireless optical mouse suitable for use on a notebook, then you may find what you want here.

What do you want for Christmas? An apple please. Will that be a Granny Smith or Golden Delicious or did you have something else in mind?

One of the simplest ways to enhance the connectivity of your computer is to add a USB hub to your set up.

Mice have been known to eat most things. How about one that eats its own USB lead?

Transporting your laptop has never been easier with the number of carry cases available. Kensington has named one bag Simply Portable 2.

Earlier this year I reviewed an excellent Ethernet Modem from ZyXEL, how will a combination modem/router and wireless router perform?

If you are looking to enhance your notebook’s functionality, perhaps you need to check out a kit designed to help.

Some people maybe surprised that the Compaq range was not quietly dropped after the merger with HP. However what are produced look very different from the HP offerings and certainly have there own identity.

Increasing your USB 2.0 connectivity options and memory card capability is now possible with a single device from Belkin.

It is blue and silver with optical technology. Check out the mini-scroller mouse from Belkin.

When thinking about media centre options, you need to consider a choice of analogue and digital television plus radio reception. All three can be obtained from one card from Hauppauge.

A bag is a bag but your laptop deserves some consideration when you choose what will house it on your travels.

Moving into a new office offered me the challenge (opportunity) to do things a little differently and reduce desktop clutter

Acer continues its assault on the laptop market with yet another addition to its TravelMate range.

Designed to work with a laptop, APC’s latest mouse could grow on you.

White seems to be in the new in-colour choice for computer devices. Take, for example, a router modem designed to enhance a home network.

If WAN and LAN are words that fill you with apprehension then this router from Belkin and the software supplied may make its implementation somewhat less painful.

Digital television offers more choice with regards to channels, so why not add this capability to your computer

Acer do seem to refresh their notebook range rather frequently, this of course means they always seem to be able to present new features before almost all of the competition.

Recent PC’s and notebooks tend to have a 10/100 port but those trying to get that little extra bit of life out of slightly older kit could find this Belkin device of use.

Laptops are now being considered suitable as a desktop replacement. The Acer Aspire 5010 certainly falls into this category.

Remembering the days when a floppy disc (a real floppy) were more than enough for data and an operating system make this device seem more than huge in capacity.
