We were impressed with the
ITC Metabox 740u
we reviewed a few weeks ago. However, its extreme power and weight (and
price tag) means that it is not a general purpose machine unlike its
very capable sibling, the ITC METABOX 730u. This very capable Centrino
powered unit is one of the best designed notebooks we’ve seen yet and
today we’ll give you our impressions and have some benchmarking results
for you of this 17” Chinese Clevo model.

If price were no
object and you did not care much about weight or battery life,
what is the fastest and most potent laptop you can build today?
The team at Digital Reviews Network set out to do just that and
came up with arguably the fastest, street legal notebook - at
least here in Australia. Come and meet the ITC METABOX 740u.
It's an unprecedented heavyweight, featuring, among other
things, the Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 GTX, a 3.8 GHz
Pentium 4, two 100GB 7200rpm SATA hard drives running in
RAID 0 or 1 configuration and all the connectivity you would
ever need… Chuck in a HD TV tuner with remote-control and you
know you've got something special
here. |

Hot from
Taiwan, hot on specs and hot in performance: the new AnexTEK
moboDA 3360 PocketPCPhone.
And, for a
change, the English-speaking world is to get this phone
before Asia does! This latest
incarnation from the Wistron company is a far cry from its
earlier SP230 model for which we had the scoop review last year. With Windows
Mobile 5.0 running on a 520 MHz XScale PXA272 and all the
connectivity you’d want plus a 1.3 MP camera this would be a
serious contender if you’re looking for an all-in-one device. How does it
perform, how does it feel and how is the quality of the phone,
the camera and the PDA? Those questions
we will look at in this First Impressions review. We’ll have
another, more in-depth review, in a few weeks.

The typical business user or
tech-tech savvy consumer usually have a cell-phone, laptop
computer, and maybe even a PDA. With all these devices, it
can be difficult keeping information synchronized between all
these devices. When one fails to keep the information on
their devices synchronized, then they start to just focus on a
single device, leaving other devices alone.
Nokia has created a unique phone that manages to combine the
features of a cell-phone with a smart-phone organizer into a
smaller device. With this smaller device, the mobile
professional is able to get connected and communicate easily
with others. More...

With the wide variety of cell phones available on the market
today, choosing a cell phone can be more time consuming than
ever. In fact, it's almost like picking out clothes.
You want to choose something that was designed well and
basically fits and suits your needs. It is interesting to
take a look at how different companies design their cell phones
and the tradeoffs that go along with it. For instance, a
cell phone's average display may be made up for with an abundant
set of features, or vice-versa. More...

If you are an American Idol fan, you
might have seen this phone being advertised by Cingular in a
show or two. Cingular couldn't have chosen a better
audience. If you aren't familiar with American Idol, the
fans vote on their favourite singers by text messaging their
responses with their phone. If you are the person who does
a lot of text messaging, then this phone is for you. LG's
unique phone makes it easier to send larger quantities of text
with its built in keyboard. More...

One of the main
reasons that people purchase a notebook over a desktop is
because of its portability. When we took a look at the
Fujitsu S7010, we noticed its very slim and portable design.
Fujitsu has taken the term 'portability' and has taken it to
another level with the Fujitsu P7010. Unlike your typical
ultra portable notebook, this notebook is extremely small.
In fact, I'd say it's about the size of a textbook. With an ultra
portable notebook, usually sacrifices have to be made in certain
features or performance in order to maintain its small
footprint. The P7010 makes little sacrifices in either of
these categories. It contains nearly all the features that
a user could want while still maintaining a high level of
performance all packed into an inspiring Fujitsu stylish design. More...

Fujitsu's Lifebook series is known
for being unique in its shape and size. Although they currently
are not as prevalent in retail stores compared with other brands
such as Dell or Toshiba, Fujitsu notebooks are still a viable
option for it's uniqueness. You may have seen those incredibly
small Lifebook notebooks which are about the size of a small
textbook. The Fujitsu S7010 has actually been out for quite a
while, but still offers an attractive package. The laptop
carries the Centrino label and does offer a set of features
which are competitive against current existing notebooks in the
market today. More...

Today, I will
be reviewing the Portable One MX.
When I first went to Portable
One's
website
to look at pictures and
specifications of the product, I
immediately knew that this was
no ordinary laptop. Its
sleek design while having high
end performance features
definitely make this a unique
laptop on its own. More...

The Flybook is
not a Tablet PC in that it does not run the Tablet PC operating
system but for all practical purposes it still has all the
functions of one, including handwriting recognition. I love the fact
that I can turn the widescreen aspect (16:9) screen around,
press a function key and start reading just like a book in a
portrait format. It’s much better for the eyes and navigation of
the pages. The touch screen also helps with easy scrolling. I often download
numerous website pages that I need to check for news, unplug and
find myself a comfy chair to read them. If you would
like to do that in the sun, you’ll have a hard time reading the
screen. It’s not meant for outdoor use. A screen like
that of the Toshiba A70 is the best, brightest and wide-angled
screen I have seen so far on a notebook. Whether that technology
is available for touch screens is a different story… More...

In business it pays to be
well-connected. For road warriors it becomes even more
important to be able to have access to the Internet and other devices
via all available means. And you want it in the smallest
possible package. Let me introduce you to a close to
ideal travelling companion, the Flybook from Dialogue. If you’ve been attracted to the likes
of FlipStart, the OQO or any other ultra-portable notebook, you owe it
to yourself to have a good look at the tablet-style Flybook. You expect it to have WiFi and
Bluetooth, but add a SIM card slot for GPRS (there’s even a CDMA
model), a CF / PC card slot, 2 FireWire ports and suddenly you have
an ultra-capable machine. Did you say you want it in
Ferrari-red? More...

A first look at the surprisingly
handsome AnexTEK SP230 reveals a top-notch design that makes few
compromises to either phone or PDA functions.
If you are looking for an
all-in-one device this unit might serve you well. It features a
Tri-band phone with video transmission, GPRS as well as fairly standard
PPC specs but with a generous 64 MB of user-accessible RAM.
AnexTEK is a newcomer in the hotly
contested arena of our mobile companions but they’ve got a good many
things right. More...
