Lenovo IdeaPad U310 Review

A surefire sign that Ultrabooks are growing up is that prices are coming down. The latest example: the Lenovo IdeaPad U310, a $799 sequel to the U300s. This notebook features a faster Core i5 processor and pairs 32GB of flash memory with a 500GB hard drive to offer both fast resumes and gobs of storage. Lenovo also remembered to include an SD Card slot this time around (huzzah!) on the stylin' aluminum chassis. So just how much Ultrabook do you get for the money?

Unlock hidden features in WDTV Live

How to - Unlock hidden features in WDTV Live T he demand for media players are increasing, as they are now highly affordable and moreover are capable of playing full HD 1080p videos. But what you get from any media player is just basic playback of 5.1-channel audio, HD video and photos. If they are network-enabled, you can stream media content from the Internet, too. These include YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Flickr, Weather, Radio and a few more. What you did not know is that some of these media players have the ability to do much more than conventional HD media players by installing a third-party firmware. It is a similar environment when you install DDWRT firmware on a regular wireless router and tap additional features and functions, such as high wireless power boost, bridge modes, repeater modes, Bittorrent, FTP service and much more.

Toshiba 47L7200U review

The L7200U Cinema Series is Toshiba’s top-of-the-line flagship for 2012. The 47-inch model is a 3D, Smart, edgelit-LED HDTV that does a lot for an MSRP of $1,899. Compare that to Samsung’s 46-inch ES8000 , which is over $1000 more expensive. The 47L7200U is a sleek, attractive TV. It has a few interesting new functions, what Toshiba calls TriVector™ 2D to 3D Conversion, Dual-Core Cinema Quality Engine™, and a side-mounted IR flasher for linking infrared devices, such as a Comcast cable box, to the TV’s MediaGuide function. That’s a lot of branded technology.

HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 Quad Edition Review

The Pavilion dv7t-7000 is HP’s latest 17.3 inch laptop release, it comes equipped with a beefy quad-core Intel Ivy Bridge processer and the latest Nvidia Kepler graphics. While being very similar to the smaller dv6t-7000 15.6” version of the Pavilion series, the dv7t-7000 differentiates itself with support for dual hard drives and a standard 900p display instead of 768p. Unlike most laptops, this one also comes with Beats branded speakers and a subwoofer. Starting at $899.99 on HP’s website , the Pavilion dv7t-700 can be configured with up to an Intel i7-3820QM 2.7GHz processor, Nvidia GeForce GT 650M graphics, 16GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage space thanks to the dual hard drive bays.

Intel SSD 330 Review

Intel was one of the last manufacturers to adopt SandForce controllers for their enthusiast grade SSD 520 , but apparently they seem to be doing well enough with it to commit to a second line of SandForce-based SSDs with the Intel SSD 330 family. The SSD 330 uses the same controller as the 520 does, the core differentiation being the a change in NAND layout from the SSD 520 to SSD 330 and different firmware. The Intel SSD 330 makes use of fewer memory channels, resulting in slower write speeds in certain scenarios. Such diversification is common in the client SSD space as manufacturers look for ways to provide different levels of performance and pricing for broader market appeal.
