Choiix Air-Through Thin Notebook Cooling Pad Review
Ninjalane has posted their review of the new laptop cooler from Choiix

Every laptop has its own method for keeping cool but the question comes up as to how you can enhance that cooling and maybe make your laptop a little easier to use. Well the Choiix design does a little bit of both. Additional cooling comes in the form of 2x 60mm fans that consistently keep fresh air flowing under the laptop. The additional elevation also helps to tilt the laptop keyboard a few degrees to give you better access to the keys.

Otterbox 3510 Waterproof Carry-All Case Review
OCModShop posted a review on the Otterbox 3510 Waterproof Case

I've seen too many expensive gadgets destroyed in my lifetime. I cringe every time I see a cell phone, mp3 player, or camera crash to the ground, splashed, or overrun by an early tide. Today's tech gadgets just aren't meant to stand the elements... the only ones that are remotely protected are professional gear that costs many thousands of dollars.

The Otterbox 3510 Waterproof case enters the room like a ninja. Our sample is bright yellow, so it enters like a nina dressed as a banana. It can weather all the elements, and is also a convenient place to drop all of your gadgets so you know where they always are.

Sapphire Radeon HD 4770 512MB and CrossFire performance review
Elite Bastards posted a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 4770 512MB and CrossFire performance

At idle, our system when coupled with the Sapphire Radeon HD 4770 uses around 135 Watts of power, which increases to 170 Watts in a CrossFire configuration, almost identical to the power consumption of a single Radeon HD 4890. During video playback the Radeon HD 4890 actually uses slightly less power than our CrossFire setup, with a single Radeon HD 4770 board consuming a tad under 150 Watts.

Finally, rendering an intensive 3D rendering workload, a single Radeon HD 4770 in league with our Core i7 system uses 185 Watts, which rises to 258 Watts in a CrossFire configuration, less than the Radeon HD 4890's 275 Watt consumption under load.

ASUS Radeon EAH4870X2 Tri-Fan Graphics Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ASUS Radeon EAH4870X2 Tri-Fan Graphics Card

A while ago we heard ASUS was going to mix it up with the HD 4870 X2 and today we've got the card in our hand and we're going to take the time to see exactly what ASUS has done with this HD 4870 X2 to make it stand out from the pack.

If you're looking for an ATI card and you still want the fastest available from the company, the HD 4870 X2 is the card to be looking at. With a fair bit of time gone since the release of the model we don't want to see a standard cooled model here from ASUS.

Patriot EP 8GB DDR2 800 Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Patriot EP 8GB DDR2 800.

I think we can all clearly remember the days of Battlefield 2 when to truly get top performance out of your machine you needed 2GB of ram in your system. Unfortunately that is not the case today and Patriot realizes this. With operating systems like Windows Vista and games like Grand Theft Auto 4 you really need some extreme ram to keep up with your high gaming demands. Today Patriot sends us an 8GB set of DDR2 800 to put through the paces. We will see how it compares to a lower amount of ram that runs faster.

NZXT Cryo All Aluminum Laptop Cooler Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the NZXT Cryo All Aluminum Laptop Cooler

Each year, our lives seem to get more hectic and busy. We are constantly on the move and in a hurry to get things done, whether it's for our jobs, or it's just the constant moving of the new American family. It is because of this, that we find the need for our electronics to get smaller and more portable so that we can have them with us when we need them. The past several years have seen the rise of laptop purchases and a decline in the desktop market. These portable machines have become more and more sophisticated and powerful to meet the demands of the needs for a portable desktop replacement. With this added power and diminished size comes the greatest threat to performance, heat. This need to keep these powerful investments cool has lead to an insurgence of cooling devices for laptops into the computer market.

Few months ago we tested Cooler Master V8 cooler and we announced that there will be more models in this new V series . This time in our test lab arrived V10 model that pretends to be top model of current line-up. This is the model that Cooler Master has hopes for becoming "king of the hill" model for some time, at least when it comes to CPU coolers. Cooler Master V10 is packed in nice and simple box with lot of information on it about the product inside. Most important information that we found was the fact that this cooler can be mounted on almost any socket.

The Tech Report posted a review on Samung's NC20 ultraportable notebook

Consider this formula: a slim laptop with a 12.1" 1280x800 display, 3.3 lbs, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a webcam, Windows XP, and over five hours of battery life. The price? $549. Sounds almost to good to be true, but that's the exact recipe for the Samsung NC20.

Samsung SyncMaster P2370 23-Inch LCD Monitor Review
Futurelooks posted a review on the Samsung SyncMaster P2370 23-Inch LCD Monitor

Samsung has always done a good job with designing aesthetically pleasing products, largely using a glossy piano black finish as their signature. The company’s range of portable electronics, like cell phones and digital cameras, typically take on a slim profile as well. It seems that Samsung has decided to combine these two approaches with the Samsung SyncMaster P2370 LCD Monitor. It’s glossy, it’s slim, and it’s mighty fine-looking.
