ASUS EN9600GT 512 meg Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the ASUS EN9600GT 512 meg

As an ATI user myself, I can not dismiss the fact that one of the most versatile computer components that is out today, is a Nvidia 9600GT based video card. Reason for me saying this, well it is cheap enough for just about any one on any budget for light to moderate gaming, can be used in a HTPC for Blue Ray play back, and finally can be used as a dedicated Physx card for those who wanting or needing that extra little bit in our Ageia Physx based games.

We at Bjorn3d, are going to look at ASUS's offering of the 9600GT video card.

HP ProBook 4510s Review
IT Pro takes a first look review on the HP ProBook 4510s laptop.

With a new naming convention and a new aesthetic HP for its notebooks, HP is clearly trying to reinvent itself for the business market and judging by this first look at a final production sample ProBook 4510s, it's not doing a bad job.

Cyberlink MediaShow Espresso Review
Elite Bastards posted Cyberlink MediaShow Espresso review

Install and register the application (which is simplicity itself), and then fire it up and you'll see that simplicity from the very start - MediaShow Espresso's interface looks to stick to giving you the basics and nothing more.

Thankfully, this simplicity is also matched by the applications intuitive nature, and that large blank expanse within MediaShow Espresso's application window is just begging to have some videos dragged and dropped into it. Do so, and you'll find them imported into the application and ready for conversion.

Asus Eee PC 1005HA Seashell Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Asus Eee PC 1005HA Seashell

It's hard to believe that the machine we'll be inspecting in the pages ahead is actually real and shipping. It's not so much a feat of engineering as it is a feat in product development. You see, we just wrapped up our evaluation of Asus' 1008HA Seashell three weeks ago, and already we're being treated to the second "Seashell" model to ship stateside, the Eee PC 1005HA.

The 1005HA is undoubtedly a member of the expanding Eee PC lineup, and while it's numbered lower than the aforesaid 1008HA, there are actually a few aspects that we prefer on this model versus its predecessor. Actually, maybe predecessor isn't the proper term; it's not like the 1005HA is taking the place of the 1008HA. In fact, we envision them both hanging around on store shelves for some time to come.

Serif PhotoPlus X3 reviewed
ITReviewed posted a review on Serif PhotoPlus X3

PhotoPlus X3 is a very powerful program that's up there with Adobe's Photoshop Elements and Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 in its ability to cater for digital photographers of all levels. While most of the editing can be done via the various tools in the toolbar, to the beginner the toolbar is overwhelming. That's where PhotoPlus X3's Quick Fix Studio comes in handy. You'll love the way you can view your changes in real time with the Before and After pane enabled, and the Export Optimizer is great for getting the right balance between size and quality for both Web and print output. Sadly, organising your photos is clumsy as it relies on a second program, AlbumPlus SE Pro, and there isn't a way to automatically publish your photos to image sharing sites like Flickr, Picasa, etc, or back them up to an off-site server. If you are an existing PhotoPlus user, PhotoPlus X3 is a major improvement and worth the upgrade. While Serif has done its best to cater for beginner and advanced users alike, PhotoPlus X3 isn't as intuitive as some. If you're not afraid to spend a little time following the 25 or so PDF tutorials, PhotoPlus X3 is one of the most powerful and flexible - if sluggish - image editors in its class. For a better all-round package, Adobe's Photoshop Elements 7 or even Corel's Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 are better choices.

Samson C01U Recording/Podcasting Pak Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Samson C01U Recording/Podcasting Pak

Samson markets the C01U as the first affordable studio-quality condenser microphone with a USB interface. The first thing you notice is the weight of the microphone. It has a heavy gauge mesh grill protecting the diaphragm and has a real meaty, solid feel. Taking a look under the hood, we find a 19mm internal shock-mounted diaphragm with a cartoid pickup pattern. What sets this apart from similar condenser microphones is it's directional pickup. It allows you to face the mic in the direction of the sound you want to hear without grabbing the noise from the rear and sides of the mic itself.

Titan Fenrir Cooler Review
Neoseeker posted a review of the Titan Fenrir CPU cooler

This heatsink was able to beat Noctua's flagship cooler by a fair margin, which is impressive considering it is, or rather was, among the best air cooled heatsink's available today.

Enermax Aurora Micro Aluminum Keyboard Review
OCModShop posted a review on the Enermax Aurora Micro Aluminum Keyboard

Some users just like really tiny keybaords. Personally I am an ergonominc fan, so the wider my hands can be apart, the better. For those who like tiny keyboards (programmers love them for some odd reason), then you'll be glad to know that there's finally one that's built like a tank: the Enermax Aurora Micro. This review was actually written using this keyboard entirely, in addition to some all-day testing.

At first look, the keyboard is very attractive. While the bottom of the keyboard is a sturdy plastic, the top frame is brushed aluminum, which has been anodized pitch black.

Kingston SSDnow V-Series 128GB Solid State Hard Drive Review
Futurelooks has posted a review on the Kingston SSDnow V-Series 128GB Solid State Hard Drive

One good example of the benefits of economies of scale, increased reliability and performance is Kingston Technology’s new SSDnow V-Series drives. This 128GB drive that we have on the bench retails for right about $229. If you remember same time last year, a similar sized drive was easily double that price. Clearly the V in V-Series also stands for value, but how much of that is taken away in performance? Kingston says they worked hard with controller manufacturers to get the price point and performance just right. We’re definitely anxious to see if it’s ready for the mainstream user. On with the review!
