Once upon a time, if you wanted a “ultra-light” laptop, you would have to spend close to $1500. However, times sure have changed. Now netbooks which are smaller and more powerful than yesteryear’s Ultra-lights can be commonly found in the $300 – $500 range. Today we are going to take a look at Lenovo’s S10 netbook to see just how it stacks up. Continue reading

Fujifilm FinePix S1500 Digital Camera

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
packaging

My primary digital camera is a Fujifilm FinePix S9100. I purchased this a few years ago when a digital SLR camera system was out of out of my price range, but I wanted a capable live-view camera that didn’t feel like a toy in my hands and afforded me the flexibility of manual control. It should be noted that my primary camera of choice is a Canon F-1, circa 1980. Film photography and manual focus and exposure control are my friends, but I have recognized the need for a digital solution, as not everything in my life needs to be an artistic expression. The photographs for many of my reviews have been taken with the S9100 and a Canon Speedlight.

The 1500 in this review promises grown-up features for a small form-factor camera, in a lesser but similar way to my trusty 9100. Continue reading

HyperMac MBP-222 External MacBook Battery

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

I love my MacBook Pro. It has the power to perform intensive computations, but has a slim and lightweight form factor that is unparalleled. The screen is gorgeous, and the keyboard and trackpad are very comfortable. Battery life is another story, and is the only sticking point I have with the platform. I can usually get 2-3 hours of light use out of it, but no more than an hour of photo editing or audio processing. HyperMac’s external battery line promises to solve that problem if you’re willing to tote around an external battery. Continue reading

“The ATOMIC series of cards is one that we really do get excited about when it comes to Sapphire products.

We don’t only see some serious clock speeds, but also something fancy in the heatsink department which always helps bring the card to a new level.

ASUS Crosshair III Formula Review @ OCC

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

“When it came to overclocking on the ASUS Crosshair III Formula, I found it easier and more effective to push the BUS speed versus raising the multiplier. When raising the multiplier, I was only able to push it to 18x for a total speed of 3.6GHz before I lost stability. However, by putting the voltage to the maximum of 1.5v, I was able to push the BUS speed all the… Continue reading

Lower RDS on MOSFETs that run cooler, solid capacitors for a longer service life, shielded DVI connections for improved clarity and covered chokes for cooler operation and better efficiency are the things that ASUS uses to separate its… Continue reading

Sin City worked as a graphic novel and it works just as well, if not better, as a film. This… Continue reading
