GETAX GX-500 - You Can't Kill This Laptop
Traditionally, rugged laptops have required a military-grade surplus of tradeoffs. Typically this has meant lower-speed, older CPUs, tiny hard drives, a dearth of ports and even prior-generation operating systems installed.
Whether the manufacturers were reluctant to change configurations regularly or buyers simply didn’t care about performance is...
Toshiba Satellite P755 - Earth To Toshiba, Come In Toshiba
It’s kind of amazing what $880 will get you these days: 15.6 inches of laptop, with a Core i5 CPU, 6GB of RAM, a 750 GB hard drive and high-end Nvidia GeForce GT 540M graphics. Laptop buyers looking for all the basics and beyond couldn’t go wrong with specs like this, and Toshiba aims to give it to them with the new Satellite P755.
Performance is decidedly mixed. While you may spend years filling that monstrous...
MSI GX660 - Gaming Notebook Nose-Dives off Ugly Tree, Hits Every Branch on Way Down
The only explanation I can guess at for why the MSI GX660 looks the way it does is that someone made a bet with an MSI engineer, challenging him to design the most horrendously ugly computer possible.
This engineer has succeeded admirably. Not since the original Dell Inspiron...
Apple MacBook Air
When Apple launched its ultra-thin line of MacBook Air laptops just over three years ago, it seemed more like a gimmicky display of gadget porn than an eventual successor to the company’s most popular portable computers.
At first, it seemed like Steve Jobs was just showing his team’s design mettle, subliminally singing showtunes to the other titans of Silicon Valley...

Brompton Reveals Mysterious ‘Project X’: The eBromptonA pair of non-electric Bromptons, packed for a flight. Photo Todd Fahrner/Flickr Oh, man. First Bob Dylan went electric, and now Brompton. The London-based folding bike maker has at last revealed the truth behind its long (and somewhat tedious) “Project X” teaser campaign: An eBrompton. The information is still just dribbling from the company, though. Little more has been revealed than that...
Levitatr: A Smooth Keyboard With Pop-Out Keys
Pure gimmickry, but undoubtedly beautiful. And despite its name, the Levitatr ships with all vowels intact James Stumpf dreamed of an iPad with physical keys which would rise, magically, from the glass itself. Of course, this is a ridiculous dream, but that didn’t stop James from striving to make it real. The result is the Levitatr, a sleek slab of aluminum and polycarbonate from which — you guessed it — the keys magically rise. The $80 keyboard...

Epson Megaplex Projector With Speakers and iPhone Dock
Epson's projector hooks up directly to your iDevice When held at movie-watching distance from my face, my iPad’s screen appears bigger than any of my friends’ TVs, all of which are on the other side of the room. But with more than two people watching a film, things can get a little crowded. Enter...
Horn Bike: iPhone Speaker and Bike Mount Combined
Bone. Horn. Ride. The jokes write themselvesThis is the Horn Bike iPhone case from Bone, and you can probably guess from the name exactly what it does. Your iPhone 4 slides into the silicone sleeve and a Velcro strap secures it to the handlebars of your bike. So far, so ordinary.
The neatness comes from the ‘horn’ part, which is in fact a horn speaker that channels the sound from the iPhone’s speaker forwards and at...
