Asus G51J-3D laptop (Core i7 720QM Processor 1.6GHz, 4GB RAM)

Review We've been very impressed with Nvidia's 3D Vision technology, which renders most games in pretty impressive 3D, but it requires an investment in compatible hardware, including a 120Hz LCD monitor, approved desktop GPU with dual-link DVI connection, and a pair of battery powered 3D glasses with a...

Alienware M17x (Core 2 Quad QX9300 Processor 2.53GHz, 8GB RAM)

Review With a brand-new look and some of the highest-end tech available in a laptop, we're semi surprised that Alienware has kept the M17x name for its newest 17-inch laptop (even if it loses the X-Files-esque "Area-51" moniker). While the system starts at a reasonable S$3,499, you'll need to configure...

Nokia Booklet 3G (Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz processor; 1GB RAM)

Review Mobile phone maker Nokia is jumping into the Netbook pool with its recently announced Booklet 3G laptop, offering a premium-feeling system at a rock-bottom price, as long as you agree to a mobile data contract. The Booklet 3G is easily one of the nicest-looking Netbooks we've seen. Also a...

Alienware M15x (Core i7-720QM Processor 1.6GHz, 3GB RAM)

Review Keeping the same revised look and feel as the recent 17-inch M17x version, the Alienware M15x is an imposing black slab of computing power that's thicker and heavier than most 17-inch laptops. We love having high-end options such as Intel's uberpowerful Core i7-920XM CPU, and it's a plus...

HP Mini 311 (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review The Netbook wars have heated up with PC makers adding upscale features such as larger HD displays and faster low-voltage CPUs to systems in an effort to push prices past the usual S$499 to S$699 range. We've seen HD Netbooks from Sony and others, usually with prices closer to S$899, so...

Panasonic DMP-B15K

Review We take a look at the world's first portable Blu-ray player which functions as a standalone player, too.

Olympus Mju 9000

Review Olympus' foray into the compact superzoom segment is met with tough competition. Panasonic's TZ series has already established itself with consumers as the point-and-shoot with long zoom range, and Canon has also the PowerShot SX200 IS which offers more exposure control for shutterbugs. So what...

Samsung Pixon12 (M8910)

Review Samsung didn't only slap on a 12-megapixel camera on the Pixon12. Along with the higher-resolution image sensor, the touchscreen handset has also been fitted with a Xenon flash and Wi-Fi connectivity, which weren't available on the earlier Pixon. Feature:Samsung Pixon12 vs. Sony Ericsson Satio:...

Nokia 6760 slide

Review Twitter junkies and Facebook fiends, this one is for you. A budget-priced slider with a full QWERTY keyboard is just what the doctor ordered to cure that aching texting thumb, plus Nokia has bundled some handy apps to boot. Editors' note:This review is based on tests done by our sister site...

Samsung R470 (Core 2 Duo T6500 processor 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review Before Samsung left the Asia-Pacific market in 2006, the position of its laptops was clearly aimed at the lifestyle set who don't mind paying a premium for slim and sleek notebooks. This was fine back when even budget laptops cost over S$1,800 and were considered a significant investment. Fast...
