When it entered the already crowded field of midsized SUVs in 2009, the Chevrolet Traverse was expected to provide a solid and stylish alternative for minivan owners; it can seat up to eight passengers, a significant difference from most other SUVs in its range, which can only seat a maximum of seven. The Traverse, however, [...]
The Toshiba Libretto W100 (the W100 is the Japanese versionof the tablet with a WiMax radio, and the W105 and the W100 share the same hardware, sans WiMax) is the most exotic computer form factor to be released in years. After all, Toshiba branded it a “concept” device. Whatever it is called or compared to [...]
Shift your office into high gear with the HP Officejet 7410 – built-in wireless and wired office networking, remote printing from your notebook to your all-in-one and camera phone printing. Work more efficiently with breakthrough performance, auto document feeder and copy collating, two-sided print, fax, copy and scan, and 400-sheet total paper capacity (with purchase [...]
HP’s latest business inkjet printer is aimed squarely at workgroups that require A4 colour printing and have only the occasional need for anything bigger. The problem with A3 colour lasers is they command a big price hike over A4 models and many small businesses can’t justify the extra expense. At a mere £160, the Officejet [...]
Toshiba hasn’t loaded the Folio 100 with many applications. There’s Fring, which is also Skype compatible, for video, voice and IM. Documents To Go lets you edit Office documents, but not create them; there’s also an eBook reader and a Media Player. While it’s technically possible to download applications from other sources and install them [...]
Usability, however, is not one of this camera’s better qualities. Putting a 3-inch screen on the back of a small camera always means compromises. In the case of the Nikon Coolpix S51, it means a very small zoom rocker switch and tiny control buttons. I can live with the tiny buttons, but the zoom rocker [...]
Epson’s Stylus Photo P50 is one of the single-function inkjet printers available today. There’s no scanner, card reader or even a PictBridge USB port for direct camera printing; just a simple USB connection to a single PC. As you might expect, it’s smaller than most MFPs, but only just – showing just how compact the [...]
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ45 is a predictable evolution of the FZ38, upping the numbers in all the usual areas. The sensor moves from 12 to 14 megapixels, the zoom range is up from 18x to 24x and the screen has grown from 2.7in to 3in. Bigger screens can damage battery life, but in fact this [...]
You can use the 7230 for voice calls, Internet browsing and enterprise e-mail, and two-way SMS. Rudimentary contact, task, and scheduling tools keep the 7230 out of the running as a PDA, but that’s the idea: The 7230 is being marketed as a data viewer and a wide-coverage phone for mobile professionals. More detail you [...]
Acer has taken advantage of the width of the display to include a full-sized keyboard and a numeric keypad. While the keys are large, there’s a slightly uneven distribution of travel that might annoy touch-typists. The left Shift key is half-width, but otherwise it’s a standard layout. The touch pad is smooth and responsive, with [...]
