Last week I took a look at the Mionix Alioth 400 mousepad, today I've got another Mionix product, a mouse this time. The mouse is called the Saiph 3200, and it could be considered a professional gaming mouse as it has the ability to change the weight of it, you've also got a choice of seven different DPI settings and the ability to create your own macros. These features are found in more high end mice, and it's obviously aimed at the gamer who wishes total control over their movement and the ability to quickly change DPI settings. In my time with the Saiph 3200 I've really come to like it, it's very accurate and works well. So read on...

Microsoft's underappreciated Zune PC software has come a long way since its first 1.0 incarnation, a bastardized version of Windows Media Player that lacked some of its inspiration's best features. Starting with Zune 2.0 in 2007, however, something wonderful happened. The Zune PC software was rewritten from scratch and became a beautiful if incomplete media player. But most of the functional holes in 2.0 were fixed throughout the 2.5 and 3.x releases. In Zune 3.0, Microsoft fleshed out the software with Mix View, Channels, Picks, a gorgeous new Now Playing screen, and other features. Now, in version 4.0, things get even better. And the software that began as a sad also-ran is now vastly superior to its only real competition, Apple's iTunes.

Looked at generally, Zune 4.0 is another evolution of the software that began with Zune 2.0. (And seriously, let's all just pretend that the Zune 1.0 PC software never happened.) It features the same basic interface, the same basic media views, the same Zune Marketplace and Zune Social integration, and the same basic device sync, playlist, and disc burning functionality. But as with Windows 7, what Microsoft has done in Zune 4.0 is take something that was good to begin with and just make it better by rethinking the details and getting the fit and finish right. Where Zune 3.x was good or even excellent, Zune 4.0 is superior.

Small personal computers are becoming all the rage now with end users wanting ever smaller ways to enjoy their computing. Take the iPhone for example, along with the iPod Touch. Those devices have revolutionized the handheld computing experience. Intel, Nvidia and others like ASRock have not forgotten the home based users wanting a compact, yet powerful (enough) solution to quietly enjoy either a simple home PC, or a more versatile home theatre personal computer solution. With advanced computing and graphics solutions for such a small unit, the ASRock NetTop ION 330 PC could just be what you'll be looking to upgrade too and out of your noisy monster, power hungry and expensive rig. However it is worth the hassle to add a monitor, OS, keyboard and mouse too versus just buying a laptop? Read out to find out more and make your own decisions.

The WinTV-MiniStick HD offers good image and sound quality both in TDT and TDT HD. I love the fact that WinTV7 uses the graphics card to diminish the load on the CPU. I am also very impressed by the included software, especially by how easy it is to operate.

There's no attempt to disguise itself as anything other than a full-on entertainment laptop. Even when it's closed, the dark brown, rounded plastic case is good looking, but it's when you open it that you get the feeling the U500 is mostly about having fun.

Akasa are renowned for their many cooling-related series and products, but over the years they diversified into other market areas. We reviewed many of their products during the past few years, including but not limited to PSU's, computer cases and CPU coolers. Today we are going to have a look at a rather interesting product, the Everest notebook cooling station. As its name suggests, the Everest is a stand for notebooks designed to serve as a cooler.

We realize that pen drives are a dime a dozen and that everyone makes them, but that is even better reason for a company to work hard and produce a pen drive that you actually want to call yours and something you would be proud carrying around with you.

TEAM Group sent us its new Supreme 64GB pen drive and it is one of those pen drives that we would like to be seen with. It is built using a fancy aluminum finish which feels like smooth and soft leather and is very nice to hold and use. It also is built using a rather unique cap design which uses rails down each side of the drive in a non-removable type design that is also a great addition.
