Advantages: Screen, graphics, wireless range
Disadvantages: Battery life, viewing angles

....e. their recent project Dell XPS 600 Renegade with quad SLI graphics that needs a 850W power supply! Am average household computer power supply is about 450W, so imagine the electricity bill. Here they have created a PDA (personal digital assistant) that is very powerful. It is one, if not the most powerful, PDAs available on the market at this moment in time. Only time will tell if a more powerful one will be released (and I am sure it will happen), but for now there is little that can fault the power and features packed into this handheld device. This device is black and silver, a typical colour scheme for Dell with their 'any colour is alright as long as it's black' method. Although not one of the smallest or lightest PDAs at 73mm by 119mm by 17mm and weighing in at 175g, it has so many features packed into it you would forgive... Read review

Advantages: Good power, nice shape, feature rich
Disadvantages: None

...Having driven one of these for the last 2 years through my company, I can say that it is a very capable and comfortable cruiser. I churned out over 50000 miles in this car without a single mechanical hitch and it is certainly a pleasant drive over long distances. I can certainly vouch for the solidity of bodywork. My partner, who from time to time took the wheel of this beauty, had the misfortune to reverse into a Ford Mondeo on one occasion. The upshot of this prang was a completely mangled front bumper of the Mondeo and an virtually imperceptible scratch on the Volvo. The V40 is feature-rich and much is provided in the way of providing comfort and convenience for the driver. The cruise control was a bonus for me because I do a lot of motorway driving. Boot space is more than adequate and there is plenty of leg room. All... Read review

Advantages: A little known WW2 weapon
Disadvantages: Not a great deal to see

...Most of you will have heard of the V1s and V2s used by Germany at the end of World War 2, if only because you read my recent review of La Coupole, a V2 site! But how many of you have heard of the V3? Thought not. Nor me, until I visited this site near the village of Mimoyecques, between Calais and Boulogne. The V weapons, Vergeltungswaffen or revenge weapons, were Hitler's last attempt to turn the tide of the war back in his favour. Targeted at the civilian population, they were intended to terrorise London to force an end to the war. This was "shock and awe", 1940s style. Read accounts from people who experienced these attacks and you are left in no doubt of the potential morale-sapping power of such attacks. Survivors speak of the nerve-jangling whine of the V1s, then the even worse silence as the engine cut out and it began... Read review

Advantages: Great phone - Stylish, Robust and a great Battery Life !
Disadvantages: Not a vast improvement on the V525.

...It's hard to believe that a whole year has passed since I last upgraded my mobile phone, but indeed it's true! March marks the date when I start looking around at the latest mobile phone deals on the market, then contact my existing provider Singlepoint (recently acquired by Vodafone) to see what they can offer. I had been very impressed with my old phone - a Motorola V525. It had a great range of features, excellent WAP facility and it was very sturdy. Despite being dropped on numerous occasions, apart from a few cosmetic scratches it still looked and worked as good as new. The "clamshell" design (meaning it folds on itself) meant that the screen was still clear and free from marks. When I contacted Singlepoint, I had in my mind the Motorola V3 Razor as my "ideal" phone. This is one of the latest from Motorola, and looks... Read review

Advantages: Modular power connectors, good design, solid build, designed in the UK.
Disadvantages: Large

...for the power supply[1]. ATX 2.2 includes changes to the main power connector (20pin to 24pin), removed auxiliary power connector and includes a need for a 3.3v tolerance. Effectively ATX2.2 is a a new standard variant based on older designs looking to power newer technologies but also to provide increased power modulation and better tolerances to power deviation. Intel BTX, another form factor standard that talks about heat sinks, finalised about a year ago. From the point of view of the consumer it makes it harder to have a very small case that complies to all specifications however it should also improve tolerance to heat substantially. From the point of view of the manufac
