First Look: Using Windows 8 on a Tablet
30 Jan 2012 by Kevin Schulte
Microsoft is aiming high with Windows 8. Not only will Windows 8 be their next flagship desktop operation system, Microsoft is also looking to make it their first OS that’s actually usable on a tablet (anyone who has used any version of Windows on a tablet up to now will tell you that it makes for a less than stellar experience). I recently had the good fortune to play around with a tablet (...

10 Jan 2012 by Craig Lloyd
The second day of CES-ness is now behind us and wow, was it a busy one! Numerous companies held their press events today, including Microsoft, which hosted the opening keynote for this year’s CES. To say the least, tons of stuff happened. Since I won’t cover everything (that would literally be like writing a book) and to save your sanity, I’m just going to go over the bigger high...

Consumer Electronics Show 2012 Preview
29 Dec 2011 by Craig Lloyd
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the one time a year where consumer electronics and other gadgetry hits an all-time high. The entire technology industry converges in Las Vegas, Nevada for a week of press events, unveilings and demonstrations of the latest toys and concepts that have yet to hit the public market.

The Asus Eee Slate with Windows 7: A Tablet Computer on Steroids
28 Dec 2011 by Kevin Ivanca / 2 Comments
I had been lusting for a tablet computer for quite some time. And no, I didn’t want one of those tiny, feature-limited Apple or Android tablets with a 6” screen and far too many smartphone similarities. I wanted the real deal: a 12”- 14” portable computer with full touch capabilities, an absurd amount of RAM and CPU power, and an operating system that can do just about anything. That...

Holiday Gift Guide 2011: Build a Gaming PC Edition
19 Dec 2011 by Kevin Ivanca
This year I decided to use my holiday wish-list to build an entire desktop PC. I mean, as long as a majority of the parts needed to build a high performance machine are gifted to me over the holidays, in the end all of them can be combined for the common goal of playing Skyrim for 100+ hours with the maximum refresh rate and graphics settings. So from one PC gamer to another, here are a few essent...

The 8-core AMD Bulldozer has arrived, but is it worth the money?
28 Nov 2011 by Derek Johnson / 1 Comment
It seems like I have been hearing the name “Bulldozer” from AMD for decades. And, while 6 months can seem like 10 years in computer time, the Bulldozer has finally been confirmed in Q4 2011. If you haven’t been following this topic, the Bulldozer core is used in AMD’s new line of high performance FX-series processors. The FX series harkens back to a time when AMD had the fa...

Review: Logitech Gaming Mouse G300
30 Sep 2011 by Craig Lloyd
When it comes to mice that work well for both right-handers and left-handers, there’s not many options out there. Sure, there’s a lot of cheaper and crappier ambidextrous mice that come packaged with most OEM computers, but there’s never been a really good gaming mouse that’s truly ambidextrous. However, Logitech has finally filled that lonesome void with the Gaming Mouse G...

Easily Hot Swap SATA Hard Drives With HotSwap!
06 Oct 2010 by Kevin Schulte
One advantage that SATA added over previous connection standards is the ability to hot swap devices. This allows users to add and remove devices, such as hard drives and optical drives, without restarting the computer. While it is possible to manage these hot swapped devices in Windows, it doesn’t always work properly and can be a pain. Thankfully, there’s a program out there that take...
