Used by a computer tech for 3 years
This is the kit the company I work for bought for the computer support technicians. It is more of a general electronics tool kit than the specialized computer tool kits Belkin offers, but I have found plenty of uses for the kit outside of the office (but [...]

Review: AX1700-U3700A Acer, For the money, not bad

For the money, not bad
For the money this is not a bad small form factor general use PC. It is fast enough to do everyday tasks like email and office use and some mild gaming. Mid level games play well enough and the integrated sound is decent. Newer games will need to be toned down [...]

Good device — if only more apps supported it…
Ah, gadgets. I’m lucky enough to be able to justify most purchases (such as this one) with some obscure business need (the secret is not to be too specific :-). And so, a few weeks ago this device landed in my hands after I learned that finally [...]

Crummy tech support and Byzantine install offsets solid tech
The good? Wireless speeds are in excess of the 802.11g spec, so I am getting 100-110Mbps (12.5-13.5 MBps) from the basement to the living room easily. Once the initial horror of setup was over, I’ve been happily connected ever since. And you can’t beat [...]

Versions 1 - 4 were great but version 5 is a different story
The Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GS routers have been the number one most popular wireless router devices available for the past few years. So this begs the question why Cisco would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by needlessly changing an almost perfect [...]

Review: ASUS K50IJ-X8 15.6-Inch, Capable value notebook

Capable value notebook
(Re-wrote this review 12/6/09)
This is an excellent budget notebook with a 15.6″ screen that’s only 5.8 lbs. We just bought two for my wife’s parents (don’t buy it for 3D games, as it has integrated graphics, but office apps and browsing are fine).
Pros:
- T6600 Core 2 Duo (not the Pentium Dual Core, [...]

Excellent Little Switch - Does What it’s Designed For!
This switch does exactly what it’s designed for, sharing an Ethernet connnection. Don’t expect to be able to configure VLANs, multilayer switching, VLAN trunks, load balancing, etc. This does not have any routing, NAT, or firewall capabilities. You would use this switch when you already have a [...]

I bought this one from Best Buy
Bought the model that ends in ZX4800-02 - almost identical price with 750 gig of RAM and 4 gigs of RAM.
I like its clean profile (HP looks too busy to me as far as its looks go). We spend a lot of time in our kitchen around [...]

11.6 ” Aspire One
We have had the Aspire for a month now and my wife and I really love it. We each have our own notebooks that serve as our primary computers. The Acer was purchased for my wife to take on the road and when we travel for vacation or family visits. [...]
