    hp touchpad will be out july 1

    This tablet would be much more interesting to me if it had a higher dpi screen. I find the iPad 1024x768 tiring on the eyes. 1280x800 on the Samsung and Xoom isn't much better, but it is still more comfortable than the iPad's display for longer viewing sessions.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: June 8th for NYC, Nationwide on June 17th..Now with reviews!

    This video suggests that the Transformer display has a lower refresh rate, or at least one that is not in sync with the video recorder. The Samsung display looks noticeably better. http://www.youtube.com/user/MobileSyrup#p/u/1/fwvq1MruxtI

    Ultra portable for college

    Definitely consider the Asus 1215b. Out of everything on the market, this best fits the requirements for the price. I upgraded the RAM to 8GB, replaced the HDD to an SSD, and it is sailing. I can run Office '10, Lightroom 3, and multi-tabbed IE 9 without a hitch. It also outputs 1080p video...

    I am curious how to get around this problem too, particularly when you are trying to install windows from a USB thumb drive.

    Question about wireless printers...

    I use an MX870 that I bought last May for $150 shipped by Amazon. I have seen the price go as low as $125 shipped. Not only is it an awesome printer that you can easily buy good cheap generic ink for, it also works wonderfully in wireless mode. Never had any issues with speed. I have printed...

    Which USB 3 add-in card should I use?

    I have the EU30 by EVGA. I like that it doesn't need an external power source and it works great.

    Need recommendations for 16:10 24" or larger displays

    Yeah, I almost jumped on that deal. I got greedy because I looked on camelcamelcamel.com and saw that the monitor used to sell for less than $260 last summer. I thought it might go down again. Even the rebate was good deal earlier this month when Amazon was selling it for $280. Has the...

    GTX 570 vs 8800GT?

    That S1 heatsink actually came with the card. I didn't have to spend anything extra for it. The card was $200 shipped back in Feb. '08. Hey, that will do. Thanks for the benches!!

    Acer HN274H 27" @120Hz?

    You are exactly right Jack. I own a 32" 1080p Sony Bravia and use it as my desktop monitor / bedroom TV. Now, of course I would love to upgrade to a 3D capable display. HOWEVER...what we all need in a TV for this to be possible... (1080p@60fps) ...exceeds the current HDMI 1.4a spec. Great...

    GTX 570 vs 8800GT?

    Hey guys, I just upgraded from an ECS 8800GT to an MSi GTX 570. For fun, I took some comparison pics of their physical attributes. I am curious, is there any website that would show a direct comparison of an 8800GT and a 570 in terms of general performance and power consumption, etc.?
