Review : Intel Core i7 970 CPU Processor The Core i7 970 is a bit cheaper than Intel’s top six-core chip, the Core i7 980X. But it’s still a tough ask given that AMD will sell you its own six-core Phenom II X6 1055T CPU for around one third the price. What the AMD chip doesn’t give you, however, is the very latest technology. The Core i7 970 sports literally the most advanced PC processor die on the planet. Part of the 970′s advantage comes down to microprocessor architecture. Known as Nehalem, it’s as good as it currently gets thanks [...]
Review : Intel Core i5 655K Processor

Review : Intel Core i5 655K One of a pair of new K Series processors aimed at overclocking addicts, the Intel Core i5 665K’s stand out feature is an unlocked CPU multiplier. Previously only found on ultra expensive Intel Extreme Edition models, an unlocked multiplier allows for CPU overclocking without stressing other parts of the system. Indeed, it’s the unlocked multiplier that explains why the Core i5 665K is marginally more expensive than the closely related Core i5 661 despite a slightly slower 3.2GHz standard operating frequency. What’s harder to justify is the how the dual-core 665K stacks up against [...]
Sony Bloggie Touch Review

Sony Bloggie Touch Review Flip Video may have been the first out of the gate with a touchscreen pocket video camera, but Kodak, Samsung, JVC and now Sony have followed — all with more compelling packages than Flip’s offering. Sony’s new Bloggie Touch features a snappy 3-inch touchscreen LCD, an f/2.8 lens with auto macro, and full HD 1080p resolution recording at 30 frames per second. There’s also electronic image stabilisation and 4x digital zoom. The lens is 37mm, which isn’t particularly wide. Inside is Sony’s Exmor CMOS sensor capable of taking still images at 12.8 megapixels. Most of the [...]
Apple iPod Touch Review – 4th generation

Consumer Electronic 03/09/2010 11:40 AM 18454 comments2010-09-03+11%3A40%3A41BestwaYhttp%3A%2F%2Fewandoo.com%2F%3Fp%3D1845

Apple iPod Touch – 4th generation As a portable media player/gaming device/mini-tablet computer, Apple‘s iPod Touch has been blowing us away since 2007. As far as design goes, the fourth-generation model is noticeably lighter and thinner than previous generations but still maintains a sturdy feel with curved, chromed steel backing. The curve is a little less pronounced than the second- and third-generation models, allowing it to lay flat without wobbling, but it still maintains a slimmer taper at the edges than the first-generation version. The volume rocker is now split into two separate buttons; however, the profile of the buttons [...]
Apple TV Review

Apple TV Review Apple has unveiled its completely revamped Apple TV, featuring a much smaller design, and is due in late September. It will cost AU$129, which is a large decrease from the current AU$329 price of the old Apple TV. The new design is about a fifth the size of the original Apple TV, and its connectivity has been stripped to just five ports: HDMI, optical digital audio output, USB, Ethernet and power. There’s also built-in Wi-Fi, so you won’t need to drag an Ethernet cord into the living room. Unlike the old model, the new Apple TV doesn’t [...]
Dell Inspiron N301 Review

Consumer Electronic 03/09/2010 11:18 AM 1835no commentsDell+Inspiron+N301+Review2010-09-03+11%3A18%3A57BestwaYhttp%3A%2F%2Fewandoo.com%2F%3Fp%3D1835

Dell Inspiron N301 Review Good: Good performance for a sub-1k notebook • Slim design Bad: Average battery life • No in-built optical drive Design Inexpensive notebooks have the habit of looking, if we’re going to be blunt, a little on the cheap side. Dell‘s Inspiron N301 — part of the company’s Inspiron 13z series, which initially made it quite tricky to track down on Dell’s local website — bucks that trend, with a silver finish that, while plastic, actually does look pretty good. Measuring in at 24x328x235.5mm, it’s also relatively slender, especially for an entry-level system, although there’s a minor [...]
Samsung ST600 Review

Samsung ST600 Review ameras with its unique dual-LCD implementation. Featuring a 3.5-inch rear touchscreen and a 1.5-inch display in front for framing self-portraits, no other camera manufacturer has emulated the ST550. Users who find the 1.5-inch front screen too small will rejoice at the latest addition to the ST family. The ST600 is an improved camera over its predecessor and features a higher-resolution image sensor, bigger front LCD as well as new shooting options What’s new The ST600 has undergone a minor redesign. Unlike the ST550, which has a more angular frame, the ST600 has curved edges, giving it a [...]
Apple iPod Nano (6th generation) Review

Apple iPod Nano (6th generation) Review Apple has shrunk the Nano. Last year’s fifth generation model already stripped a lot of the superfluous weight from the device, but this iteration is now just 21.1 grams. This version is more akin to the Shuffle than any previous models, at least in terms of physical size. Gone too is the click wheel that characterised previous Nanos. Apart from the different form factor, the new Nano features a 1.54-inch TFT screen at a resolution of 240×240 pixels. Capacity remains the same as the previous generation, at 8GB and 16GB. The sixth generation model [...]
Blackberry Curve 3G review

Blackberry Curve 3G review Improved connectivity and great email, but overpriced Forget the natty BlackBerry Torch and the much-mooted Clamshell 9760. If you’re a workaholic and looking to snaffle one of RIM’s emailers, then the Curve 3G 9300 fancies itself as the ultimate proposition. An entry-level smartphone, the new Curve adds HSDPA to its arsenal, while sticking with the tried and tested skills of its predecessors. But with Nokia’s E-series and a raft of Android QWERTY sliders in the wild, can the Curve still cut it? There’s no getting around the fact that the Curve 3G is nothing but a [...]
Lenovo ThinkPad X100e Review

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e Review The ThinkPad has a grey industrial design interspersed with the odd red trim. it isn’t what we’d call eye catching or sleek (and certainly a long way from the MacBook Air), but exactly what you’d expect from a laptop designed for the business user. Slim (15.6mm) and light (1.48kg), this laptop is perfect for the commute and easy to slip into a bag or flight case or a business trip. Build quality is excellent too, it really feels like a laptop that will last a decent amount of time. The isolated-style keyboard has ample space between [...]
