04/05/2009, Word has it that LG is currently working on a convertible computer that will come “equipped with a notebook computer function and a tablet computer function.” In layman’s terms, this would be something like the upcoming Asus Eee PC T91, although the LG offering is different as it boasts a couple of operating systems, detecting on which mode the machine was configured in before selecting the right operating system to […]

04/05/2009, Guess the Asus Eee PC T91 that we first saw at CES ’09 will soon arrive on our shores, although we’re still not sure on the pricing details and exact release date since it has just received a stamp of approval from the FCC. A tablet netbook sounds like a surefire winner, and you can be sure that Asus will continue to remain ahead of the game in this aspect […]

04/03/2009, We’d jump at the chance to get our hands on the BenQ Qisda QPD-111, but unfortunately for us, this is but a concept at this point in time thanks to the efforts of the good people at BenQ’s Qisda Creative Design Center.

04/03/2009, Is it just us, or are chiclet keyboards gaining more attention these days in netbooks and notebooks alike? The latest ‘victim’ would be the Asus Eee PC 1000HA that lacks both Bluetooth and 802.11n connectivity, although it does come with the chiclet keyboard for that added touch of glamor. While it is available in black, we don’t think you have any other color choices to pick from. Could this be […]

04/02/2009, Both graphics companies are throwing new products at each other in a fight that might ultimately be decided by software. We’ll spare you the reading of a 20 pages review: for all practical purposes, these two cards are close enough in performance, although the 4890 seems to have a slight upper-hand in low-resolution (1080p and below), while the GTX 275 seems better for 30″, high-res displays (2560×1600). Both cards will […]

04/02/2009, Sweden has a brand new anti-piracy policy that could explain a 33% drop in web traffic on the first day it was enforced.

04/02/2009, Do you secretly wish that you have a tablet PC instead of a regular notebook?
