  • Replace a MacBook Pro’s optical drive with an SSD

    Replace a MacBook Pro’s optical drive with an SSD

    It's a fact that no one uses optical drives anymore and so why not replace the one in your late-model MBP with something a bit more useful like an SSD. It doesn't really seem that hard as long you're comfortable totally disemboweling your MacBook Pro. The SSD and optical drive both use SATA so it's really plug and play and only requires a special adapter plate to properly hold the SSD in place.

    Video: Toshiba’s AC100 Tegra netbook runs on Android 2.1

    Hot on the heels of the W100 dual touchscreen tablet, Toshiba also unveiled the AC100 today, a 10.1-inch netbook that runs on Android 2.1. One of the big selling points of the AC100, which is the company's first Android machine, is that it can remain in standby mode for up to seven days (the eight hours of battery life aren't too shabby either).

    Libretto W100: Toshiba shows double touchscreen tablet (video)

    What's better than a tablet with one touchscreen? A tablet with two touchscreens. That's at least what Toshiba must have thought when they cooked up the Libretto W100 with its dual 7-inch multi-touch displays (1,024×600 resolution and LED backlighting for both). There's no physical keyboard, but you'll get a virtual one with haptic response.

  • Alienware officially updates the M11x

    Alienware officially updates the M11x

    When we ran our review of the Alienware M11x a few months back, there were a couple of things that really didn't sit well with us. They had decided on the older Nvidia chipset (which forced you to basically shut everything down to change from discrete to active video) and you were somewhat limited in what CPU options were available. Well, no longer.

    Innoversal Lattice Tablet gets its Pixel Qi touched

    Pixel Qi. If you haven’t heard of them, you will. Everyone will want one of their screens. They offer both a full color LCD screen and an E-Ink screen in one. From what I have seen so far, the technology appears to be very promising. Other companies seem to think so as well, and are lining up to use Pixel Qi screens in their devices

    This Sony Vaio P takes the style to another level

    Maybe the standard Sony Vaio P is a bit pedestrian for your taste. It's just not enough, right? Well then. How about one covered with crocodile skin? It's supposed to be a digital clutch anyway.

    Inkia’s iPad clone, inPad, gets spec’d out

    The Inkia inPad is a shameless iPad clone right down to the bezel and name. We first spotted the clone a few weeks back but hardware details didn't accompany the pictures. Basically, a Chinese manufacturer got our attention by photocoping the iPad and installed Android. But we've kind of lost interest now that we know what's on the inside.

    Say what you will about gadget cloners. Some of them put out sweet products like this iPhone clone powered by a 1GHz Via C7-M CPU and backed with 1GB of DDR2 ram and 32GB SSD. It even has a kickstand. Take that, Apple.

    OCZ Enzo USB 3.0 SSD drive: Whoa, Nelly

    Do you need 256GB of hard core storage running at 150MBps? I know you do. The OCZ Enzo, which is apparently only in render stage, looks like the monster that ate Cleaveland and should cost considerably more than you’re currently willing to pay. But still, 260MBps for the USB 3.0 is wild. via Fudzilla

    Best bang for your buck in 2TB drives?

    I've been thinking about picking up a couple of big drives for my home server lately, so I was really excited today when I saw that this roundup of the major 2TB drives out there. Sure, everyone is excited about SSDs (myself included) but dollar for dollar, HDDs are still the way to go.

  • Look at that, someone (Super Talent) has finally thought to release relatively inexpensive SSDs

    Look at that, someone (Super Talent) has finally thought to release relatively inexpensive SSDs

    All the cool kids in the neighborhood are building their PCs with solid state drives these days. Who wants to use a plain old hard disk drive, what with its icky moving parts, when you can cruise along on a drive with zero moving parts? I mean, it's no contest. Problem: SSDs are usually what I like to call "mad expensive." You're paying a heck of a lot for a fairly small drive... until now~! Super Talent has a brand new line of "value" SSDs that are low-ish in price. It's all the benefit of an SSD without the incredibly high price. At least that's the idea.
