"What can we say about the Soyo Raptor? It's as solid a Power Supply as you can find on the market today. There was very little fluctuation in the voltages which leads directly to increased system stability...."

"There are a lot of things that I love about this unit, and only a couple things that can be improved upon. First off, the LCD is fantastic, but serves as both a Pro and Con. It looks awesome, is crystal clear and makes for a good show piece, however it also sucks up battery life."

"The keyboard also offers a new ergonomic design that takes the strain off your hands and wrists. While this might take a little bit to get used to, it certainly has its benefits. The keys are shaped in such a way that it keeps your wrists pointed straight, instead of pointing outward."

"Ricoh probably don't spring to mind when you think of digi-cam manufacturers, however Ricoh recently released a new pair of cameras dubbed the G4 and the G4w. Today we take a look at the G4w variety with its 0.14ms shutter lag, 1cm macro zoom and wide angle lens. Just how well does this new camera perform?"

"The key characteristic which makes Tablet PCs different to standard notebooks is that you can write directly to the screen. Your writing can remain in freehand style, or can be converted into editable text, while your drawings can be saved as images for sharing and storing. Some Tablet devices lack a keyboard, offering only the screen, and are known as ‘slate’ style devices."

“Recently, the chance came up to revisit Crucial's Gizmo series with a look at the larger 256MB edition. With the USB 1.1 drive market still in full swing, putting a larger drive out rather than updating the speed to USB 2.0 helps to keep interest high as not everyone has had a chance to migrate to the newer standard. As for the unit itself, there are a couple of external changes here and there but none to the unit design itself."

“My low mouse sensitivity for gaming meant that I was always hassled with picking it up and repositioning the mouse as I played. (It’s uncanny how many times you can get shot while you reposition the mouse on the pad…) So you can imagine my delight when I opened this package from the XTrac guys and there sat three cool new pads with two of them being the biggest mouse pads I have ever seen. I mean these pads dwarf anything I have seen or tried to date. As you can see below in the comparison to my old Func 1030, these pads are really, really BIG.”

"Almost everyone got a DVD burner these days. But a DVD burner isn't worth much without the right software. I've taken a look at Intervideo's WinDVD Creator 2 Gold. This program not only has features for videoediting but also promises to convert and burn all your movies to DVD with a few clicks. "

"LCD monitors have become more popular over the past year due to lower priced large displays and the introduction of monitors with sub 25ms response times which make them ideal for gaming and watching DVD's. Today I'll be looking at AOC's LM720A 17" LCD monitor which aimed at the lower end of the market and can be found on sale for less than £300."
