Over the many years of business travelling I have come to use a backpack to transport my laptop and “stuff’ instead of a briefcase – if only to leave my arms and hands free when negotiating customs and baggage carousels. There is certainly no business or boardroom “suit” stigma or snobbery anymore against backpacks.
An inveterate Windows Phone user tries living with BlackBerry’s newest and very corporate “flagship” BlackBerry Z10 handset and its totally new look and feel operating system. Does it pass muster?
Seagate has released three new storage devices for mobile workers, home networks and small businesses (the latter two will be subject to separate reviews once tested).
Yesterday, I published a scathing review of the hybrid notebook PC and tablet from Hewlett-Packard, the HP ENVY x2. I stand by the conclusions of that review - underpowered, overpriced and neither a good tablet nor PC. However, I believe the hardware is actually very nice and the story would have been quite different had HP not used Windows 8 or upped its hardware specs.
Prior to getting my hands on a review unit of the HP ENVY x2, the new hybrid Windows 8 notebook and tablet PC from Hewlett-Packard, I felt a sense of quiet anticipation that perhaps this could be a great come-back product for the troubled computer giant. Sadly, however this machine is the exact opposite and a disappointment on many fronts.
Lara Croft is back in the best Tomb Raider ever. This reboot of the series sees Lara at her most vulnerable to begin with, but as the brutality of situation increases, Ms Croft shows her mettle. Tomb Raider is one of the best games I have played in a long time.
Damned if I can tell the difference – except 365 Home Premium is a lot cheaper and can be installed on 5 devices.
“It’s a bughunt”, if only that was a more specific definition of Aliens: Colonial Marines, and not a broader description describing the games coding as well. Playing through Gearbox and TimeGate’s game over the weekend is not time that I will get back in my life.
Local Melbourne based developer Firemonkeys has released the highly anticipated Real Racing 3 and for a game running on mobile devices (iPad generation 2, iPhone 4 and later plus Android) it is a technological treat.
Manufacturers of standalone SatNav devices need to deliver features at an excellent bang-for-buck ratio to compete with in-car factory fitted as well as the many other GPS enabled devices on hand today.
