Friday, August 18, 2006 by mjlee60
Logitech, for many years, has created top quality mice among other things. Currently their best portable notebook mouse is the v450, which only recently came out.

A Petition to Intel to Make Low Voltage Processors Upgradeable
Thursday, August 17, 2006 by abaxter
Intel currently does not produce their low voltage and ultra low voltage processors in a way that they could be upgraded in the future -- the processors are soldered to the system board. As consumers we'd prefer to have the opportunity to upgrade a processor later on, and not have to replace the entire notebook just because we'd like a new processor.

Chrome Metropolis Messenger Bag Review
Wednesday, August 16, 2006 by kidA
My choice for a new bag came down first to a messenger bag. I was tired of all the backpacks I've owned and just wanted a change. I was then led to several different companies including Timbuk2, Crumpler, SF bags and Tom Bihn. They all offer high quality, waterproof, lifetime warranty messenger bags, but I liked the extra features the Chrome bags had to offer. So here's a review of my final bag selection, the Chrome Metropolis Messenger Bag.

HP dv2000t and dv1000 Comparison
Tuesday, August 15, 2006 by scribsac
Recently I upgraded laptops. My old laptop is an HP Pavilion dv1000, and I upgraded to HP's new DV2000t. I got a great deal on the new one and found a way to help someone out with the old one. I wasn't sure whether to go with the HP or one of Apple's new MacBooks, but in the end my long-running relationship in good standing with HP, coupled with the fact that I could get a whole lot more machine for a lot less money, made my decision for me.
