If you want a portable computer that you can carry everywhere, but the small screens of the current crop of netbooks are too small for your squinting eyes, perhaps MSI could interest you with their new “Macbook Air Killer”, the MSI X-Slim 320.
I had to put that under quotes because aside from the form factor, [...]

Price comparison: Optical Discs vs Hard Disk Drives
Posted on January 12, 2009 - Filed Under Computers | 2 Comments
Let’s do some simple math. In order to store 1TB of data on DVDs that have a capacity of 4.7GB each, you’ll need about 213 blank discs. At an average price of P10 per disc, that amounts to P2,130 per terabyte. However, that’s assuming you’ll fill each disc to its maximum, which isn’t always the [...]

Pegatron may sound like an Autobot in Transformers, but it’s really not. It’s a company that spun-off from ASUS, and they’re getting ready to join the netbook craze. The focus is on low price and functionality, but they’re no slouch in the design department, either. Just look at this prototype (courtesy of Engadget):

I just had to get this out of my system. When my friend and I went to Megamall the other day, we also looked for a 1TB external hard drive. My preference was Seagate FreeAgent (~8.5K), but it was very difficult to find a store that had it in stock. On one display window, I [...]

If you follow this blog, you’ll know about my storage predicament. Today I took the plunge and got myself a new external DVD writer in Cyberzone, SM Megamall. It was a difficult hunt. Almost every shop I went to either didn’t have stocks of any brand, or selling theirs at an unreasonably inflated price. Good [...]

Running out of space in your memory card? Is the 32GB upper limit of the SDHC standard weighing you down?
My guess: Probably not, unless you’re into shooting HD videos. The standards-defining SD Association isn’t taking any chances, however, and is taking steps to make the SD format future-proof (for now, anyway).
They have just announced [...]

Just when HP got everyone talking about the gorgeous Mini-note 2140, Asus steals the limelight and presents the arguably dreamier Asus T91. In this crowded market filled with cookie-cutter specs, Asus attempts to stand out with its newest line of touchscreen netbooks, with swiveling monitors that can be flipped 180 degrees and laid flat on [...]

When the HP Mini-note 2133 first came out, NotebookReview.com tested a unit and came up with the following conclusion:
“HP managed to create the single most impressive ultraportable notebook on the market … and then decided to put a lackluster processor inside. If HP decides to replace the VIA processors with the new Intel Atom processors [...]
