ASUS ZENBOOK Ultrabook review
Posted on 4-Apr-2012 09:27 Reviews, Computing, by M Freitas
We shouldn't confuse "netbooks" and "ultrabooks". There's a lot of power packed into these little new portable devices and the ASUS ZENBOOK is a good device to show off these features.

We tested an external drive that resist wind, sand, water, drops - except fire. And it looks great, even after some of this "treatement".

Posted on 4-Jan-2012 13:44 Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
What happens when you mix together sound technology, surf-inspired design, and a material that's six times more resistant than that used in headphones? The Philips Stretch is what happens.

Posted on 1-Jun-2011 17:06 Reviews, Computing, by M Freitas
One of my current LCD (I have two plugged into my laptop on a three monitor setup) is an old AOC model. So I was quite happy to have a new AOC Razor LED monitor around here for a couple of months to test.

Posted on 4-Oct-2010 15:06 Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
The brand new QNAP TS-659 Pro+ is yet another example of a small, but fully featured NAS box, mostly designed for office use, but also useful at home - if you have the budget for it.

Polycom IP335 review
Posted on 29-Jun-2010 15:51 Reviews, VoIP, by Steve Biddle
I’ve played with a large number of IP phones over the last few years and have always been impressed by Polycom’s range of IP phones. Polycom have dominated the audio and video conferencing market for a number of years due to their high quality products and have established a huge following in the VoIP market in recent years.
