Averatec N3400 13.3" Ultraportable Notebook Review
TechSpot posted a review on the Averatec N3400 13.3" Ultraportable Notebook

Netbooks have quite a few things going for them. They are extremely lightweight and portable, typically affordable, and more recent models come with full size keyboards, larger displays and great battery life. But for all their advantages and evolution in recent years, they still lack in one key category: processing power.

Today we'll be taking a look at their affordable N3400 Series Ultraportable Notebook, a 13.3-inch model boasting an Intel dual-core processor and a thin aluminum shell that shares some styling cues from Apple's MacBook Air.

Weighing in at only 3.8 pounds, the N3400 is powered by an Intel Pentium Dual Core T3400 CPU operating at 2.16 GHz, 3GB of DDR2 (expandable to 8GB), a 250GB hard drive spinning at 5400 RPM, 13.3" WXGA LCD display (1280 x 800), Intel GMA4500 graphics, 802.11n Wi-Fi and a 2-cell 5000mAh battery.

HP Officejet 7000 A3 printer Review
ITPro have a review of an HP Officejet 7000 A3 printer

Inkjet printers are growing in popularity in the small business sector. In general, they cost less to run and buy than laser printers with similar capabilities. However, they still have to contend with the assumption that they suffer from slow speeds and inferior print quality. HP's latest A3+ wide format inkjet makes a good argument for the effectiveness of inkjets in an office environment.

Thermaltake Element G Review
XSReviews posted a review on the Thermaltake Element G

In order to achieve and become a "great" product, a case needs to succeed in a number of different areas. It not only has to keep the internals safe and secure, and with plenty of cooling but also look stunning too. Modders and enthusiasts pride themselves on the aesthetics of their enclosures and so the style, shape and even lighting of a chassis are hugely important.

Thermaltake's latest addition to their Element series, the Element G, aims to succeed at all these aspects as well as having a few tricks up its sleeve. Without giving too much away just yet, let's take a better look.

Zaward Gyre Flow Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted Zaward Gyre Flow Heatsink Review

The Zaward Gyre (ZCJ010) is a box of a heatsink. There is of course
adequate clearance around the CPU socket for memory and VRM heatsinks and such, but at first glance it's not exactly clear how the Gyre works. A 120mm fan rests on top of the heatsink, but all four sides of the 110mm tall cube are wrapped in smokey grey plastic. Making the heatsink even more perplexing, the 120mm fan blows perpendicular to the direction of the aluminum fins.

Nexus RX-5300/RX-6300 Power Supplies Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Nexus RX-5300/RX-6300 Power Supplies

Nexus is no newcomer to the growing group of companies trying to bring you high performance, ultra-silent computing peripherals. Being around since 2000, Nexus have 9 years worth of continuing product development behind them. Their product lines range from a growing power supply collection to computer cases and all sorts of high performance computing accessories. The products I've reviewed from them in the past have generally gotten all-around positive reviews and many of their products can be currently found in use in several computer systems throughout my home. Recently Nexus has released two new models in their RX series of power supplies; a 530W and a 630W (these in addition to the higher wattage models already available). I was lucky enough to receive one of each here today to put through the paces.

XFX HD 5850 Review
OCC has published a review on the XFX HD 5850

The only downsides are the fact that the fan can get a bit noisy when set to above 40% mark, something still needs to remedied. But if the majority of people don't play with the fan speeds, there is no concern. While there are not any true DirectX 11 games out yet to allow the HD 5800 series to take advantage of the technology, it means that we are still playing a waiting game. One more thing is the availability of the 40nm 5800 series - the same problem that ATI had with the HD 4770. Currently, there is only one 5800 series card in stock at the online retailer Newegg: no 5870 and only one 5850 SKU. It seems like ATI is missing the golden goose on this launch. Otherwise, this card is awesome!

XFX Radeon HD 5770 Video Card Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the XFX Radeon HD 5770 Video Card

OK, we're through playing nice with these new ATI 5xxx video cards. The corporate logo for XFX says: "play hard.", so Benchmark reviews is going to take that motto to heart and show what this cards can really do. Almost every single competing card runs at higher than reference clock rates, and they all come that way from the factory. Every single card I compared the HD5770 to, when we reviewed the reference design from ATI, was factory overclocked. That's just the way it is with video cards built on mature GPU technology. Well, every ATI 5xxx card can easily be overclocked using the standard driver package from ATI, Catalyst Control Center, since it includes ATI Overdrive. So let's do it, let's compare apples to apples, and as a bonus, I'll throw in some CrossfireX results, too.
