To see what is right and not to do it is a want of courage. At least that is what Confucius says and who I am to argue with the most perceptive man ever to have lived / an over rated, glib buffoon (delete as you see fit). If you want to see what it right for you then the Acer Aspire M7300 is what we are currently talking about. Courage not supplied. Design Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it. I just know that a nice and serious, I-know-what-I’m-doing look always goes down well in a PC and that this model fulfils the requirements...

How much is that doggy in the window? What shall we do with the drunken sailor? Is the Samsung LE40C580 40” Full HD LCD TV a good buy? Most readers should realistically expect to stumble across the answer to only of those questions today.

Life is an endless search for food, shelter and a better PC. Maybe your quest for a new computer ends here, in a town called Acer, in a street called Aspire, house number M3300. Design This is a modern desktop PC, so you get the usual elements and all are nicely presented. Notable Specifications I’ll have 500GB hard drive, 4GB memory, AMD Phenom™ II X6 1035T Processor , a built in DVD rewriter and ATI Radeon™ HD 3200 Graphics to go, please. Value If the world were to return to a barter system the Acer Aspire M3300 would probably...
The new, improved Apple Mac Mini 2010 aims to improve upon the sometimes sluggish performance of its predecessor while keeping or enhancing its famously smooth lines and quality packaging. But does it succeed? Design What a lovely looking little machine this is. Using the Apple one-piece unibody technique the casing is made from a single lump of aluminium, which gives it a very stylish, dignified look. It is also flatter than the older version of the Apple Mac Mini, as well as having a bigger top surface area and now has the power supply...
This is a review aimed at bargain hunters with taste and discretion. Are you still with me? Good, let’s look at the HP Pavilion p6300uk then. It’s another good one.

The 500GB Hard Drive is big enough to comfortably cope with most people’s music / photo / games collections. The 20” display is also big enough to let you enjoy movies and videos. Value It...
This is an excellent desktop PC for anyone looking for power, lots of storage room, value for money and, hey, a little bit of style as well. The power comes from the Intel Pentium® Processor E5300. The storage space is provided by a generous 320 GB of hard drive. The value for money aspect we will cover further down the article (I like a bit of suspense in my reviews) and the style comes with a nice, clean look. Design The monitor that comes with the Compaq Presario CQ5305UK-m Desktop PC is of a good size, 18.5” to be exact. This,...
A new study has shown that 25 per cent of UK consumers will head down to the shops and buy a new computer if they experience serious problems with their existing machines. Furthermore it looks as though nearly a third of Brits are more than happy to deal their computing hardware a blow or two in an attempt to get it to behave. A survey carried out on behalf of Virgin Media has shown that 58 per cent of people are willing to admit to cursing their computers in the event of an issue arising. This figure is probably much higher in all honesty,...
The Swiss army knife is a highly regarded all-round implement and manufacturer Victorinox has produced knives that also have integrated USB storage in the past, but now a new edition claims to be completely safe from prying eyes. Victorinox proved that it was not joking about the security systems in place within the Knife/Drive by hiring a team of alleged computer hackers to attempt to break into the device during a promotional demonstration. The firm was offering £100,000 of its own money to the team if they could succeed. They didn’t...
Microsoft has officially announced that Windows 7 will be released “in time for the holidays”. There’s supposed to be a very good handful of new features that will be part of the release and the full program is now in its final (though perhaps toughest for the engineers) stage of development. No new features are likely to be added but bugs, glitches, problems, and a few more optimised bits and pieces will be added before the expected October release. Additional features will instead be reserved for future updates to the release. Advances...
