Carapelli probably isn’t the first name to trip off the tongue when talking about netbooks or laptops, but it may become more popular following the announcement that they are releasing the world’s most inexpensive notebook computer that will cost just £65. The laptop, that is called the Impulse NPX-9000, obviously doesn’t have the greatest specifications but bearing in mind you could afford one on a week’s wages if you had two paper rounds, you can’t really argue. The 400MHz processor isn’t going to...

Samsung is sort of really embracing the ultra potable PC idea, although where many manufacturers have trimmed down their PCs and subsequently their price tags, Samsung looks to be going the other way. With that said, the majority of ultra portable PCs don’t offer the kind of all singing and all dancing features that the two new Samsung Q1 devices do. The Q1U-CMXP is not only ultra portable but ultra connectable and is clearly aimed at the multimedia, web surfing, commercial users. Built in HSDPA mobile broadband modem is combined...
We’re really taking to these new fangled computery things in the UK, according to recent research. In fact, the UK market is the fastest growing PC hardware market in the whole of Europe. Gartner, the research company that’s always responsible for publishing these statistics, have noted that sales in the 2nd Quarter of 2008 are more than 25% higher than they were over the same period last year and totalled 2.8 million sales during that period. While it was a combination of both individual and business consumer that contributed...
The HP Pavilion DV6920EA is a mid range multi purpose laptop that offers more than enough features for the average home and office user.

The latest Alienware laptop is, as you might imagine if you know of Alienware, a mighty powerful beast that is designed specifically with hardcore gamers in mind. The Area 51 laptop is heavy in various departments weighing more than 5kg and costing nearly £1,500 for a bog standard edition but you do get some hefty power for your pound. As seems to be the trend when knocking one of these up lately, it’s based around the Core 2 Extreme processor from Intel and it utilises two of the most powerful Nvidia GeForce 8800M GTX graphics...
The Steampunk revolution has been building up a real head of steam for some time. While it was originally a design concept more than anything else, it has become more of a way of life. However, for the purposes of this little piece, we’re talking about the Steampunk design. Modelled on pretty much a parallel version of Victoria England, modern Steampunk design aims to combine modern items with Victorian style and steam power (sort of). Buying anything in a Steampunk style is pretty difficult, and most pieces are one off or home designed...
Apple is no stranger to popular products recently. Love it or loathe it it’s impossible to argue that the iPod hasn’t had a significant impact on personal audio devices and in culture in general. The iPhone, too, became a success of near monolithic proportions despite its detractors. The MacBook Air, while not perhaps as ubiquitous as the other two, made waves when it was released – or rather, it didn’t make waves. The thing is impossibly light and started a whole generation of ultra portable, ultra light notebook computers. Good...

The first thing you will notice about the acer 5520 laptop is its fast processor and generous amount of RAM. ...
Alienware, now owned by Dell, and Voodoo have long been the gaming PC and laptop manufacturers of choice for those with an incredible budget while Asus has perhaps been best known for its ultra affordable Eee PC range. However, they have also created some incredible gaming laptops of their own and one is winging its way to the UK now… finally. How will it fare in battle? The G70 gaming laptop is pretty much as powerful as you want, and reassuringly expensive to boot with prices ranging from around £1,800 to £2,000 incl VAT and...
