Join Maxtor OneTouch 4
If you regularly use a computer, then you always have that terrible fear that the next time you log off will be the last time. I’m not talking about your own death, but something that seems far worse. It’s that black screen that tells us that our computer, as we knew it, is no more.
Fortunately, this is why there are external back-ups, and more and more people really need to use them. Especially when we live in an age when all our pictures, videos, music, and other important files are centrally located on the computer.

Toshiba Portégé R500 gets outfitted with 3G
Last week brought us the MacBook Air, which is no doubt impressive as far as looks and size go. However, even if you upgrade to the SSD kit with a faster processor, it still leaves much to be desired. My biggest complaints include the lack of an optical drive and the limited ports to be found. If I’m going to spend that kind of money on a notebook it needs to at least have an optical drive and an ethernet port.

How many times have you taken your laptop somewhere to give a presentation only to find out that they won’t let you hook it up to the projector, but rather you must use their computer to run it? I don’t give a lot of presentations, so I’m not really sure how often that happens to someone. For most people it wouldn’t be a huge deal, but if their computer doesn’t have the exact presentation software on it you need, you’ll run into some major issues. If you’re ever worried about such an instance, this flash drive from NewSoft will put you at ease.

Last week we told you that Acer would be joining the ranks of companies like Asus who wish to dominate the realm of super-small laptops.

Geeked out Eee PC
Asus’ Eee PC has certainly more than picked up its fair share of love from customers who have fallen head over heels with its form factor and ease-fo-use. One thing we do know is, the Eee PC isn’t exactly at the forefront when it comes to hardware specifications, but that isn’t going to stop industrious folks from trying their level best. This Eee PC comes with GPS, Bluetooth connectivity, 802.11n, an FM transmitter, a modem, a USB hub, 2GB RAM, and even an SDHC memory card reader. The total cost of these upgrades? $454.38.

I knew I should’ve had the foresight of starting an iAnything accessory factory – I’d be swimming in millions right now.
