Fujitsu Lifebook P5020 Review @ Designtechnica

"For those ready to wean themselves away from the bigger-is-always-better world of widescreen laptops, the Sony VAIO TR2A and Fujitsu Lifebook-P5010 are the class of the sub notebook market. But a combination of lower price and more removable-media options give the Lifebook an edge that ensures you get the portability you need without sacrificing flexibility. The Fujtisu Lifebook-P5010 is the BMW Cooper Mini of the laptop world. It´s tiny frame and attractive looks hide the fact that it is feature-packed, easy to own, and for most exactly what is needed out on the road."

Corsair XMS 1GB DDR400 Registered Memory @ Legit Reviews

"Corsair picked out IC’s, a PCB and a form factor that make a winning combination for everyone that is in need of registered memory. Having the ability to run super tight timings of 2-3-2-5 on registered modules with no stability issues is a sign of good engineering and is what all enthusiasts and gamers want to be running at..."

BFG Sniper Boomslang 2100 Mouse Review @ Bjorn3d

"Sniperus Boomslangicus: Latin for "really sensitive gaming mouse!" That is exactly what the BFG Sniper Boomslang 2100 mouse is. With a radical shape and some pretty radical technology to boot, this mouse will bring you new life in your gaming sessions, or put you to an early death."

Legion Hardware — Antec Minuet

"The Minuet is a special looking case that would suit just about any kind of desktop environment. Appearance aside, the case’s functionality is questionable and will really only be suitable for specific users. This is due to the unfortunate limitation of expandable PCI/AGP devices that can be installed into the Minuet. Sadly the low-profile expansion slot design of the Minuet will greatly limit what can be used in your system, given you use this case. For this reason I feel the Minuet will only be a viable solution for a limited amount of users."

Icemat Black Gaming Mousing Surface Review @ Tweaknews.net

"I used to think that the mousepad made little or no difference in computing. Because of the Icemat, I now see the error of my ways. The mouse is one of the most used devices on your computer and it relies almost completely on surface texture to work properly. As such, the mouse pad used should optimize your mouse´s performance and efficiency."

Systemax Inspire 4007 @ TrustedReviews

"The Systemax Inspire 4007 is a high-end Athlon 64 gaming PC, or at least that’s how Systemax describes it. This is also where AMD is hoping to gain some sales, so it all makes sense. The core of the Inspire 4007 is of course an Athlon 64 3200+ processor as this is currently the only speed grade available. The memory is a whole 1GB of PC3200, but it is JEDEC spec which means that it’s fairly slow. This is more than plenty and does add to the whole gaming PC feel."
