Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga: A novel twist
Yoga is all the rage these days, particularly in London I hasten to add where my recent stay in Clapham was complemented with a gruelling 7am session of Bikram ‘Hot’ Yoga – with a hangover! Yep yoga has firmly established itself as a reputable method of enhancing suppleness and wellbeing, so much so in fact that even technology is getting in on the yoga act, in the guise of the…

STM Switch and Stash tablet bags
STM are an Australian bag manufacturing company that we have come to know and love over the years – their range of iPad and Laptop bags have been mostly excellent and, whilst they do produce some standard designs, they are also keen to experiment with both form and function, which is something we are keen on. So we were quite pleased to have a little hands-on time with two of…
Dell Inspiron 14x: The perfect companion for the lecture theatre?
When I was at college and university all note taking was achieved religiously with a pen and piece of paper. Although now, apparently, those antiquated days of scribbling a lecturer’s words in a notebook – a non-technological one that is – have been replaced by fervently tying those all-important words on a laptop. A laptop’s ‘note taking’ capabilities is a strategy taken by Dell as it markets its latest ‘thin…
The Acer Aspire S3 – Move over Notebooks, the Ultrabook generation has arrived!
What do you get if you combine the design of a notebook with the mobility of a Smartphone? Acer’s first Ultrabook, the Aspire S3 of course.

Asus appeals to wannabe supercar owners with its latest ‘lap’ top
If you like high performance from your cars, chances are you’d be pretty keen to get it from your laptop to. We guess that’s the thinking that goes on at Asus, as it has brought out a high-performance laptop inspired by an Italian supercar – this time it’s the ASUS-Automobili Lamborghini VX7. Looks-wise, it had been designed to catch the eye, with its orange and black carbon fibre coat –…
MacBook Air 2011 review of reviews
11 and 13 inch Macbook Airs were released last week to much funfare, and had us Apple addicts trampling over our Grandmas graves in an attempt to get all the goss on whether we should be upgrading and/or switching from the Pro. Reviews of the new release are spread across the internet like an oddly pleasant rash, and rather than making you wade through them all we’ve collected the best…
