Tablet PC’s kind of flared and then fizzled out in the late 90′s, but like any great idea, they didn’t disappear. They have been widely used in the medial, construction and transportation industries where their small size and pen input displays make them the perfect tool for the job.
Three of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of a computer are the screen, keyboard and mouse. This is especially true in offices where people are interacting with their computers for hours on end.
Take the mouse for example. It should be responsive, contoured for comfort and customizable. After all, you use your mouse for just about everything you do these days. Enter the Logitech G9 Laser Mouse.
As computers come down in price, and become more common in the household, we are finding new and useful roles. One of the new and popular rolls is the “kitchen computer”. With the new Eee PC’s, kitchen computers are becoming more popular and cheaper. However one of the problems in the past has been the keyboard and mouse.
Kitchen computers can be used for many things. You can use it to display streaming news, Internet radio or (the most popular) use it to access the world largest cook book, the Internet. The problem that arises with cooking and clicking is that the mouse can become dirty. Traditional mice can be wiped down with a cloth, but their seams collect dirt and their hard to keep clean. Unlike traditional mice, the Belkin mouse is washable and that makes it the perfect mouse for the job.
I have been looking forward to getting my hand on one of these for months. Finally last week I was able to pick one up and take it for a spin and I was not dissapointed.
First of all, let me explain what the Asus Eee Box is. It’s a bare bones, mid powered desktop computer that is about the size of an average novel. It’s a new breed of computer that is the desktop equilivent of the Netbook and Asus is leading the pack in every catagory.
While the first Netbook was only release a little over a year ago, the market has boomed with over 10 million units sold.
The first Netbook was released by Asus and most people will agree, they are still leading the pack. Featured here today is one of their higher end Netbooks. Incidentally, if you are not familiar with the difference between a Netbook and a Notebook, please feel free to read “To Netbook or not to Netbook” in our Articles section.
Let me start off this review by admitting that I do not actually own this product. Normally I do not do reviews on products I don’t own or have not used extensively, but in this case it is not so much the product it’s self, but the idea that I like.
While digital picture frames have been around for a couple years, they have just started to become main stream due to lower prices. They come in all shapes and colors and offer so many features; some are almost like mini computers. But a new breed are emerging with an interesting new feature that (and I’ll be honest) I was not to keen on in the beginning, Wi-Fi.
If you are looking for a high end, high performing monitor, this is the one for you. Some of its great features include a full High Definition 1080p display with a native resolution of 1920×1200. It has a HDMI port as well as DVI, D-sub and component.
