Acer Aspire 5738PG-6306 15.6-inch Touch Screen Notebook Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Acer Aspire 5738PG-6306 15.6-inch Touch Screen Notebook

Since the iPhone first hit the market, touch screen computers, smartphones and other devices have been all the rage. The problem with touch screen computers is that the screens often lack the accuracy and sensitivity needed to really give a usable touch experience.

Today I have Acer's new Aspire 5738PG-6306 touch screen notebook on my desk. It hardly takes a discerning eye to tell that this machine looks visually identical to the Acer 3D notebook I recently reviewed. The only real difference between the Acer Aspire 5738PG-6306 and the 3D notebook is that the touch screen tech replaces the 3D tech in the notebook I am looking at here.

Callpod Chargepod 6-way Charging Device Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Callpod Chargepod 6-way Charging Device

The Chargepod worked like a charm and reduced all of the cables we had around the office down to just one. The only downside to the Chargepod would be price, but when you think about it most families have thousands of dollars worth of electronics. Spending $39.99 on the Callpod Chargepod Value Pack and then $9.95 for extra cables isn't really that big of a price to pay for the convenience that offers. Not only that, but it might also reduce the chances of you getting hurt from tripping over all those charger cables you have in your house...

Verbatim 500GB InSight USB Portable Hard Drive with Always On Display
TestFreaks posted a review on the Verbatim 500GB InSight USB Portable Hard Drive with Always On Display

Last week I took a look at the Verbatim Clon Portable Hard drive, this week I've got another Verbatim portable HDD called the InSight. It's a 500gb capacity drive that's 2.5" in size, but what makes it special is the LCD display that shows the remaining capacity even when the InSight is powered off. Like the Clon drive the InSight also includes Nero BackItUp software to help you easily backup all of your stuff. The InSight is housed in a glossy black case with the display near the front, it looks nice, but how does it perform? I've put the InSight up against a few other portable hard drives I've got on hand for comparison..

G.SKILL F3-8500CL7D-8GBSQ 2x4GB Laptop DDR3 RAM Review
APH Networks published a review on the G.SKILL F3-8500CL7D-8GBSQ 2x4GB Laptop DDR3 RAM

It's actually a lot of fun to own a Lenovo Thinkpad. Besides the impeccable build quality, unsurpassed reliability, a keyboard feel that's not repeated in any other brands, and not to mention its incredible battery life -- there's always those questions from friends and strangers alike that command a level of hilarity. "What Pentium do you have?" is actually a question that I've been asked many times in the past year or so, referring to my T400. "Pentium II", I would reply jokingly, poking fun at those who completely missed my Centrino 2 vPro sticker on the left palm rest, and my screen showing an operating system interface no other than the one of Windows Vista (Or Windows 7 later on). But I don't blame them. Thinkpads have retained the same basic design since the 1990s; but it is the progressive refinement, subtle beauty, pride, and tradition that brings the brand loyalists together. Plus, I am a big fan of building the ultimate 'sleeper' device in places where I can be seen with them, whether it be cars or computers. Additionally, I can assure you Macbook Pros are stolen quite a bit around here at the university. Thinkpads? Less of a chance, to say the least! To be honest, there aren't a lot of components that are upgradeable in a laptop. But of those parts that can be upgraded, RAM is probably by far the most popular, thanks to its ease of implementation and important role in computer performance. Currently, the largest amount of RAM you can possibly fit in a typical laptop is 2x4GB, for an 8GB total. That's a truckload of memory -- unfortunately it could cost upwards of $700 USD retail for DDR3 SODIMMs at press time. That said, there's one company that has it affordable. G.SKILL's F3-8500CL7D-8GBSQ 2x4GB costs a hair under $400 for DDR3 with 7-7-7-20 timings at press time, and while we are at it, G.SKILL is a reputable, quality manufacturer to performance enthusiasts. So whether you are looking to enlarge your e-peen today (Raises hand), or requires a big boost in system memory on your laptop (That too), we have this review here for you today!

Prolimatech has also released a new version of the Megahalems.

Will it keep my LGA 1156 i7 870 nice and cool? Read on to see!

The EAH5970 is obviously a monster card. It uses two of ATI's most powerful GPUs, so it should do no less than crush the competition. This is of course what it did.

ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO & M4A785TD-M EVO AM3 Motherboards Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of two AM3 motherboards: the ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO & M4A785TD-M EVO

There is no hiding the fact that while AMD can't compete in the high end portion of the CPU market just yet, they have some amazing budget-minded processors that will appeal to a broad market. However, these processors would be nothing if they couldn't be paired up with well priced yet fully featured motherboards such as ASUS's EVO series. In this review we take a close look at the EVO series in its ATX and mATX forms

G.Skill Pi PC3-17600 4GB Dual-Channel Memory Kit Review
TweakTown posted a review on the G.Skill Pi PC3-17600 4GB Dual-Channel Memory Kit

What's important about this is that it's easier to get two modules to work together at a higher speed than it is to get three. For this reason we're seeing dual channel kits of memory offer us some serious speed and very quickly after the release of the P55 chipset. Since PC3-16000 is being offered by most performance memory manufacturers, it's time for companies to begin to mix it up even more.

Today we'll be looking at a PC3-17600 kit from G.Skill. How many MHz is that? Well, we're not going to give that away just yet. Before we look at the MHz of the kit we'll have a quick look at the package and also a closer look at the modules and any extras on offer.

Seagate FreeAgent Go ST910004FAA2E1-RK Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Seagate FreeAgent Go ST910004FAA2E1-RK

Mobile storage of music, videos, pictures, files, and pretty much anything else you can think of is rapidly becoming more and more popular. Even the recent release of Windows 7 has seen unheard of amounts of people wanting to install the operating system using external storage devices such as flash drives rather than a DVD. Many workstations in offices don't include any sort of optical or other removable media devices other than USB drives. Seagate has always been a name well associated with storage and their most recent external hard drive series is another push forward helping people with all kinds of storage needs. Benchmark Reviews is taking a look at the Seagate FreeAgent Go 640 GB USB 2.0 External Drive, which is loaded with features, and even software, to make your life easier.

QNAP TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS Review
Techspot posted a review on the QNAP TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS

While popular among storage-hungry PC enthusiasts, network-attached storage has proven to be particularly useful in office environments, where sharing large amounts of data between several desktop PCs can become quite problematic. With the availability of 2TB hard drives, a majority of users will be satisfied with a 2 or 4-bay NAS solution. However, as data accumulates over time there are those who might require even more than that.

Performance and feature set are two things you'll definitely want to keep in mind. From our experience in testing a range of devices we can assure you there can be huge differences from one offering to another. Some will provide you with transfer speeds of around 10-20MB/s, while other more serious models will deliver considerably better performance, but most still struggle to max out a Gigabit Ethernet connection.

Our quest for bigger and better alternatives led us to one place: the QNAP TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS. Not only can this product accommodate more hard drives than we've seen before, supporting a total of eight, but it possesses power that is unmatched by any NAS device we have come across to date.
