G-Tech G-DRIVE mini COMBO 120 GB

Advantages: fast and portable
Disadvantages: drains power

...The Buffalo Ministation Turbo USB 120GB is quite a small little storage device, hence the “ministation” in its name. Its size is great as its only 127 x 20 x 84 mm so it’ll hardly make a dent in your pocket. The 190 g weight on its also hardly anything and they have even managed to shed 20 g’s off this one compared to the previous 40 gb edition of this hard drive. It works directly off power from a laptop or computer and runs therefore directly off usb without the need for plugging in another power cable to run the device. This can be a problem if you need more battery life on your laptop as it will drain it a little if its plugged in all the time. This drain isn’t much though and you’ll hardly even notice the difference if its only plugged in for a short while. Its black plastic casing certainly... Read review

Disadvantages: its price,much emphasis on video editing,low hdd space(40 gb).

...The new jvc mini note pc is based on the Intel Centrino platform and is aimed at the mobile professional. the Mini Note is an extremely compact (9.2 by 7.0 by 1.5 inches) and lightweight (3.2 pounds system weight) ultraportable that's attractive and well-made.The unit contains a built-in DVD/CD-RW combo drive, which eliminates the hassle of carrying external drives.Intel's Centrino G 2200 wireless solution, resulting in some of the best throughput we've seen for an ultraportable wifi. But the main drawback which i think is the price tag.the processor speed is good but the hdd space is too less (only 40 gb).the key pitch doesn't make the Mini Note as typing-friendly. perhaps the graphic card dosn't impress the gaming geeks....

Advantages: Good old Apple giving the Mac a sexier bodice, good starting price
Disadvantages: Not very fast, user upgrading non-existant

...CPU Mac Mini 256MB of PC2700 DDR RAM ATI Radeon 9200 32MB 40GB Hard Drive Slot-loading Combo Drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) If you haven't noticed yet, yes you only get the Mac Mini, no monitor nor keyboard nor mouse nor speakers. But you do get loads of software with the machine: iLife ‘05 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and GarageBand), AppleWorks, Quicken 2005 for Mac, Nanosaur 2, Marble Blast Gold and Apple Hardware Test. The best member of the Mac Mini family contains a 1.42GHz G4 CPU, 1GB RAM, 80GB Hard Drive, Wireless networking Airport 802.11G and a DVD-RW drive. That set up though would cost alot more than the one I possess, however do not think that the speed would be phenomenally faster. Also you can't manual upgrade the Mac Mini computer either, contrary to what I originally thought. If you open up the machine to upgrade - say... Read review
