Plextor PX256M2S SSD review
Harddrives ain’t the most glamorous of components; no matter how large or fast they get. SSD harddrives have injected a bit of glamour into the market by dramatically increasing performance, but they’re usually dismissed as toys of rich gamin’ playboys. Then one – the Plextor PX256M2S – landed on our desks and we changed our minds; it was wonderful. Using flash memory – i.e. the kind found in SD cards…
Stop! Go – make your own movies with Claymation Studio 3.0
I have long harboured secret desires to make my own animated movies – I think several visits to the Disney parks in Florida, where you can see behind the scenes helped. And of course I grew up in a world before CGI, where stop-motion animation was the big thing (I’m a big fan of Bagpuss and its ilk). So when I got the chance to try out Honestech’s own Claymation…

Samsung ML-1865W wireless printer review
Removing the Samsung ML-1865W from its box causes a moment of quiet reflection – remember when wireless laser printers were the size of photocopiers? The 1865 is tiny (341 x 224 x 184mm). We’re talking pretty-much-inkjet size. And it all folds away into a neat little box. AND it looks nice. So what else is good? The printer’s not just small in size – it’s small on noise. Samsung state…
Sony Vaio Z hands on review
Rarely – very rarely – does an amazing laptop reach the market. Even more occasionally, it’s not made by Apple. Is this uncommonness what makes the Sony Vaio Z so special? No – it’s special because it’s awesome. Before we go on, remember that the Vaio Z retails for £2,039 (mid-range), so only the brave of heart should consider the purchase. Now that hurdle is out the way, prepare to…
