We might already have all the specalicious details on the new EeeTops from ASUS, but it never hurts to see one in action, right?

Unsolicited Laptops Sent To State Governments Never Get Used, Now Under investigation

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Tempting though it may be, shipments of HP and Compaq (another HP brand) laptops sent to various US state governments have been sent either back to the manufacturer or to local investigators with nary even a game of Spider Solitaire in its account logs.

Monday, August 31st, 2009

After years of shunning that most common of headphone styles, the earbud, Grado has at last taken a break from its over-the-ear, vented diaphragm purism (if you don’t count the China-built iGrado) and created an in-ear pair for the kiddies.

Medion’s 24-inch X9613 Multitouch All-in-one PC Actually Looks Pretty Hot

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Medion has never really been our go-to manufacturer for new hotness, but we’re really digging this new X9613 all-in-one model it’s showing off. Even better than the sexy, the computer is fronting a 24-inch multitouch display, a miniature SideShow screen, a gloriously large physical volume knob, and a bunch of convenient media controls along the [...]

MSI’s AMD-powered U210 Up For Pre-order, Still Not ‘Official’

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Who needs press releases? You can snap up an MSI U210 pre-order right this second on Amazon, so why bother waiting MSI to actually confirm the thing for a Stateside release? Morality. That’s why.
