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.

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.

10 May 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 4 Comments
If you’ve ever had problems installing USB devices in Windows, i.e. if you connect a mouse and Windows doesn’t properly install the drivers for you, I learned a great trick that might be able to resolve this problem.
