ThinkPad Tablet 2 Review @ Techspot

When Apple's very first iPad hit the scene in 2010, their take on the "modern tablet" was destined to become ubiquitous: a thin, rigid slab of touchable electronics covered by a sheet of shiny Gorilla Glass. Following the iPad's resounding success, Apple (and others) made no apologies for designing their tablets as though they were giant smartphones -- or at the very least, something less than a full-fledged computer.

Gone were the days of custom software installations, file system management and editing config files; in their places appeared one-click app store installs, locked down software hell-bent on shielding users from directory structures and an often times disappointingly spartan selection of customization and configuration options.

Corsair H100i Water Cooling System Review @ ThinkComputers.org

Not long ago we took a serious look at one of Corsairs most promising closed loop coolers, the H80i. It performed very well for a single 120mm radiator and left us wondering; if this is how well the H80i does, how will the H100i perform when it has an additional 120mm of rad space? Without further speculation, let's get down to business shall we and see if the H100i can stand with the exceptional, or if you should pass on this one.

OLA TV XL GSM Dual Sim Bar Style Cellphone Review @ TestFreak

The cell phone has become an integral part of our lives and most of what you hear about are big expensive smartphones but not everyone wants one. Some people just want a phone to make calls, I know people that still have basic older flip-phones and they’re more than happy with them. I like smartphone myself but you never know, accidents happen and I always like to keep an inexpensive backup phone just in case. Today for review I’ve got the OLA TV XL which is a dual sim bar style phone that’s fairly basic. The name of the phone is the TV XL, yes it has a TV tuner built right in but sadly it doesn’t work here in the states because we’ve gone digital, but it will work in most other countries. The phone also has an FM radio and a 2.4” color screen along with a .3mp camera. Yes it’s not some amazingly powerful phone, it’s just a basic phone with some other little features thrown in but it costs under $35, and I don’t think that’s too bad for a backup phone or if you’re just looking for a very basic phone… Read one to learn more…

HP Envy 5530 e-All-in-One Review @ TechReviewSource.com

Clearly aimed primarily at home-rather than office-needs, the HP Envy 5530 e-All-in-One offers better than par photo quality plus par quality for graphics and text. It also throws in some home-printer features like built-in templates for graph paper and lined notebook paper. As with virtually any letter-size printer, it can also serve for light-duty home office use.

Lexar JumpDrive P10 32GB @ Myce

It’s almost a year since I reviewed the Lexar Lexar Triton Jumpdrive, and I was amazed by its performance, as a matter of fact I still find the Triton to be one of the best USB3 flash drives that you can get. We all know that when it comes to technology changes happen very quickly, and the Lexar P10 JumpDrive is here to validate this rule.

On the outside it might look identical to the Triton, but this time Lexar has taken one big step forward, and almost doubled the read and write speeds of the P10 JumpDrive. The Lexar P10 is available in three sizes, starting with the 16GB, the 32GB that I will be reviewing, and the maximum size that you will be able to get the P10 is 64GB.

You can find out more about Lexar simply by clicking here.
