Allied Telesis AT 1500T

Advantages: Excellent functionality, durability
Disadvantages: Size/weight

...I’ve owned a Revo now for around 6 months and have found it to be invaluable, even if I will admit I originally purchased it as a nice-to-have gadget. The unit is durable and has stood up well to some fairly arduous treatment, and still looks (as one would expect) good as new. The main decision, as I see it, when choosing a PDA at the moment is what exactly you will use it for. I like the 3Com Palm VX very much, and strongly considered buying one when I purchased the Revo. What made my mind up were the onboard applications that come with the Revo (Microsoft compatible spreadsheet and word processor for a start). This, allied to it’s very passable keyboard led me to choose the Psion, as it allows me to work whilst on the move - even allowing me to check my emails when allied to my (Ericsson T28) mobile phone. The Palm VX, with it... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and runs most older games with minimal fuss.
Disadvantages: No shader support and not very powerful.

...With this card on the market i really wanted this one when i was buying a new PC. Having no idea about the games being developed and the details of graphics cards I got one. I was impressed how it boosted the detail of every game i had in my house. I was able to play "medal of honour: allied assault" quite well with a decent Framerate of around 80-100. Most games nowadays require shader support, and that is something this card does not have therefore you will very likely loose out on the features of that game plus a very poor framerate due to the old design of this card. Make no mistake though, Nvidia have a reputation for not making good quality graphics available but they specialise in the stability of their cards. And this card was very stable, i dont remember any unnecissary rendering times and RAM access. There a bunch of flaws... Read review

Advantages: cheap, powerful and with a better design than intels pentium processors
Disadvantages: maybe lacks some of the brute force of intels pentium processors

...After recently choosing all the parts for my new PC I realised I hadn't decided on what cpu (central processing unit) I was going to get. At first the obvious choice appeared to be Intels pentium 4 as it was well known. Little did I know that I would be walking from the shop with a Athlon xp 1800 in my hand. I got home and turned the computer on, then as I blinked (not literally but nearly) XP had loaded up. I was instantly impressed of the speed it took to load. I learned that this chip had been tweaked and adjusted for use with xp (not that its bad with other operating systems). Unlike the pentium 4 this cpu was made for use with xp and it worked like a treat with instant touch of a button access to any program. What a bonus I had something that worked super fast for 1/2 the price of its rival processor the intel pentium 4 1... Read review
