Acer Timeline 14" 4810T Notebook Review
TechSpot posted a review on the Acer Timeline 14" 4810T Notebook

With so many different factors to consider when purchasing a laptop, finding the right one can be a daunting task. Portability and battery life are the current trends, along with value of course, which has brought about the recent surge of netbooks. However as I've said before -- and I still stand by the statement -- netbooks are great for simple tasks, but lack the power to be more than a supplement to a real notebook or desktop system.

Today we will be looking at the Acer Timeline 4810T notebook, a 14-inch ultra-portable that aims to bridge the gap between underpowered netbooks and bulky notebooks, while retaining the battery longevity found in the latest generation of netbooks. The Timeline has an incredible claimed battery life of over eight hours.

The 4810T is powered by an Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor operating at 1.4GHz, 4GB of DDR3 memory (expandable to 8GB), a 320GB hard drive, Intel GS45 chipset with 4500MHD integrated graphics and Intel Wi-Fi Link 5100 that support Draft-N connectivity.

Samsung Spinpoint F1 (HD103UJ) 1 TB Hard Disk Drive Review
Tech ARP posted a review on the Samsung Spinpoint F1 (HD103UJ) 1 TB Hard Disk Drive

Samsung offers two lines of desktop hard disk drives - the high-performance Spinpoint F line, and the eco-friendly EcoGreen line.

The main difference between the two lines is the spindle speed. The Spinpoint F drives have a spindle speed of 7200 RPM while the EcoGreen drives run at a more sedate 5400 RPM.

The Samsung Spinpoint F line currently consists of the F1 family of drives which are available in capacities ranging from just 80 GB to 1 TB, and the F3 family which only has two members - a 500 GB model and a 1 TB model.

Today, we will be looking at the top model in the Samsung Spinpoint F1 family - the 1 TB Samsung HD103UJ hard disk drive.

Seagate Savvio 10K.3 SAS 2.0 6Gb/s 300GB 2.5-inch Hard Disk Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Seagate Savvio 10K.3 SAS 2.0 6Gb/s 300GB 2.5-inch Hard Disk

So far we have reviewed the Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 and the Savvio 15K.2 and found that the performance of both drives far exceeds anything we have in the consumer market outside of solid state drives. Their 15,000 RPM platters make access times lower and now we are about to test the 10,000 RPM enterprise Savvio from Seagate, the 10K.3.

Seagate’s Savvio Series products use the 2.5-inch wide, 12.5mm tall form factor that is quickly becoming the standard for enterprise servers. This new 2.5-inch form factor allows for more drives to be used in the same amount of space than traditional 3.5-inch drives. In a 1U, 1.75 inch rack mount server you can fit four 3.5-inch drives, but in that same space eight 2.5-inch drives.

High-End P55 Motherboards Review
InsideHW.com has compared two high-end P55 motherboards

Intel Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs that are compatible with LGA1156 socket, slowly but steadily are becoming interesting choice for wider user group because this socket is direct descendant of “good old” LGA775 and, of course, price drops. Intel P55 chipset is, basically, following footsteps of previous P chipsets (P965, P35, and P45). It is obvious that soon there will be many P55 based motherboards. For now we got two models signed by ASUS and Biostar which are based on same chipset but present two totally different solutions to the same problem…

TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the TomTom XXL 540S

The new TomTom XXL 540S is a dashboard GPS navigation device that has a 5-inch touch screen, a nice dash mount, and other valuable features. It does, however, lack a few features that other similar GPS units offer, such as live traffic updates and an integrated MP3 player.

Neoseeker takes a look at the inexpensive gaming chassis, the NZXT M59

The M59 functionally speaking is a very decent case. It sustains good temperatures stock from the factory, and can only improve when you add the additional fans

The Coolink Chillaramic is a ceramic based thermal paste that provides superb thermal contact characteristics. The Coolink Chillaramic features excellent thermal conductivity while being easy to apply and clean up. The added benefits of no burn in time and no chance of electric conduction make this paste something worth taking a closer look at when deciding on a paste to use for your system build.

Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme Review
OCC has published a review on the Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme

Although this cooler performed well and offered good performance, I did have a little bit of a gripe with the installation process. For one thing, the positive stop method of holding the heatsink used on the original Tuniq tower was abandoned on this refresh. It could have been because of the bad reputation of the brass screws that would strip or break outright. Even so, a positive stop type of mount would have been better. I still wonder why there is a slot for a screwdriver on top of the thumbscrews, considering that there is only about a half an inch above them before the bottom end of the heatsink begins.

Kingston SSDNow V 40GB Boot Drive SSD Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Kingston SSDNow V 40GB Boot Drive SSD

For years, Kingston has sold system memory upgrade kits to help boost personal computer performance. Installing RAM is a simple process, and it usually helped speed up an old PC. Yet, because the processor and memory both operate at level much faster than the average hard disk, the real bottleneck is the primary drive. Solid State Drives are the ideal upgrade for hard drives, and the difference an SSD makes is far noticeable than any memory upgrade. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the performance and speed for the ideal SSD starter kit: Kingston's SSDNow V 40GB Boot Drive SSD SNV125-S2/40GB.

Kingston HyperX T1 4GB DDR3-2133 Review
PureOverclock has published a review on the SilverStone Raven RV02 tower

Kingston HyperX T1 4GB DDR3-2133 modules are optimized for use in the LGA1156 socket Core i5/i7 platform, and are some of the very fastest on the market. We've seen in our past testing that Kingston modules typically offer great performance and value, so we'll see today if they can continue the trend as we push them to the limit.

Archos 3 8GB Touch-screen MP3 Player Review
Everything USB has posted an in-depth review on Archos 3 8GB Touch-screen MP3 Player

2009 marks the unofficial eleventh anniversary of the flash memory based portable media player (PMP). In that time, we've seen capacities balloon 1000-fold from 32MB up to 32GB and beyond, with 100+GB promising to be commonplace in the not-too-distant future. The bottom-end of the market now boasts up to 3" diagonal screens, with full touch control and video display as well as music playback. Packing all of this into the sub-$100 category is the Archos 3 Vision positioned as a step above the postage stamp screen media players but also steering well clear of iPod touch territory.
