SanDisk SSD delivers two million hours Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF). Now, that’s a long life span! With no moving parts, it’s 100 times faster than traditional HardDisk drives.

Another advantage of SanDisk SSD UATA 5000 is its extremely low power consumption rate compared to the hard disk drive: 0.4W during active operation versus 1.0W. This is particularly important to extend the battery life for the benefit of road warriors.

SanDisk SSD UATA 5000 1.8”, with 32GB flash memory, is targeted at enterprise users as the first step in mass consumer adoption of the solid state drive in the mobile PC market. In the near future, we’ll be using SSD drives in our mini PCs everywhere.

Pixma iP6600D is based on Canon’s bubble-jet technology and makes use of six different ink colors. The ink droplets are 1 picolitre small, allowing good printing accuracy and a high resolution of 9600×2400. This makes the PIXMA iP6600 a good choice for both enthusiasts and semi-professional photographers.

This A4 printer features a second paperfeed, plus an extra feed to print onto CD and DVD discs. Pictbridge and Hi-Res color LCD screen allows printouts to be made directly from digital cameras and cellphones or from the memory-card.

Some users have noticed scratches on pictures but that is solved by choosing the right paper type. The printer may revert back to plain paper, so making sure that it’s set to glossy paper just before printing a new photo would solve the problem.

The Canon PIXMA iP6600D is a high-speed photo printer with an excellent quality for an affordable price. Hard to beat at its $150 -$250 price range.

We hate to see “so called fast computer systems” with an expensive CPU; namely, an Intel, because most people don’t even know about AMD and that those who know AMD CPUs are usually not the ones to be easily fooled. The rest of the ”outrageous system” which you can fly to the moon with, has the cheapest mainboard, a no-name RAM, a darn slow hard-disk and a graphics card without a cooler fan?! -It’s 2006 boys, graphics power isn’t only about gaming anymore. Oh and, Stop fooling people!

OK, we feel better now!

The moral of this story: Always do your homework and research every single part of your computer system before you buy. A system can be as fast as the slowest part of it. If you want performance, the second most important element is your hard-disk which is usually ignored and thought to be for storage only.

More about the Raptor X: Because of the reason that WD Raptor is a performance drive and built for speed instead of mass storage, the size is currently 150GB. If that’s not close to what you need, simply get another drive for mass file storage and backup. Doing so will also decrease the risk of data loss caused by a hardware failure, and will let you save precious space from WD Raptor which you can use for games and hungry sound and video editing applications.

WD Raptor® X:

• 10,000 RPM
• 1.5 Gb/s
• 16 MB Cache
• 1.2 million hours MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure)
• The first ever drive with a view. Crystal-clear lens on the drive lets you see the drive in action
• World’s fastest SATA drive, period.

We love it and recommend it without hesitation to anyone who wants the best hard drive out there.

This is an all-in-one, “I want it badly” type of gadget. Samsung Q1 is an extremely compact companion PC running on Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. The 7-inch touch-screen allows all the usual features of a notebook computer. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allows you to connect to the Internet and chat with VoIP. Play all media file formats, run all your business software, play online multiplayer games… It’s a full featured mini PC.

The Q1 also has the “AV Now” mode that lets you play media files without even having to boot Windows.

The new model of Samsung Q1 offers a 1Ghz Intel Pentium M CPU, 1GB of RAM, 60GB HDD and a 128MB graphics chipset.

External keyboard and the classy organizer case look essential.

Dell XPS M2010 is bigger than a notebook but much smaller than a Desktop PC. It wouldn’t be wrong to call this Dell a Portable Desktop PC which is obviously designed to replace the clutter of traditional PCs in office or home.

The DVD-Drive is placed in the middle where the keyboard is used to be. The Bluetooth keyboard docks with the laptop via magnets. It’s classy black aluminium casing looks great.

What we like about this keyboard is that its key layout isn’t so different than a traditional keyboard. Some other ”ergonomic keyboards” have an empty space dividing the keyboard into two pieces which would force you to type only like a pro speed typer. So, getting used to this keyboard is no big deal and especially if you are a hard-typer, you will feel the comfort it provides on your wrists as soon as the other day after you start typing with it.

Pros:

- Curvy key layout and keys in different sizes provide comfort.
- The quick calculator launch button just above the numeric keypad is very handy.
- Large SPACE, CTRL and ALT keys. We love them!
- There aren’t a ton of quick launch buttons above which you will never use. Volume level, browser launch, back/forward buttons and e-mail buttons are just enough.
- Liquid resistance. Water, coffee, tea, beer, coke… It happens!
- Cool looks.

Cons:
- Windows “start” buttons. We don’t want to see these! At least, not on each side of the SPACE bar. The one on the left is placed between the beautiful, large CTRL and ALT keys and is very disturbing. We would prefer the CTRL key to be even larger and this “start” key removed!!!
