2012 Toyota Prius The leader of the hoard of hybrid, no more, is still in the list. However, its fuel efficiency aside, it’s one of the most reliable cars in the world.

The new iPad 2012 Camera Connection Kit: Photos exchange and more from tablet – Part 2

The CCK offers two ways to transfer photos from your camera to your iPad. If your camera uses an SD card, use the SD card adapter. But, if your camera uses another storage card (like Sony’s proprietary card), connect it to the USB adapter with the included USB cable. Once your respective adapter is in […]

Desktop keyboards: Your USB desktop keyboard is much more comfortable than those cramped iPad keyboards. Sure, it’s not a portable solution, but if you find it necessary, you can plug in a regular keyboard to the CCK. Just ignore the warning message. Card readers: If your camera writes to a CF card, and you have […]

Apple Rumours: Next Gen iPhone caught in the snare – Part 1

With the release of the new iPad 2012, the rumour mill was expected to take a leave from work for some time but in less than two weeks it has found a new job. Remember the iPhone 5 rumours that haunted the iPhone fanatics until Tim Cook pulled the curtains of the iPhone 4S in […]

Apple Rumours: Next Gen iPhone caught in the snare – Part 2

The blog, which correctly targeted the announcement date of Apple’s third-generation iPad unveiling, as well as the tablet’s inclusion of 4G LTE networking, added that the new phone would follow in the iPhone 4S’ footsteps and launch in the fall. Besides 4G LTE, which was rumored ahead of the iPhone 4S, this is the latest […]

Apple Rumours: Next Gen iPhone caught in the snare – Part 3

The change in the size of screen will result in compromise of the resolution, which is the best in the market of the latter is not extended as well. However, the bigger the Retina Display, the bigger is the panel that churns out that many pixels. This will certainly result in thickness of the device, […]

Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581TG: The tech geek’s preview – Part 1

Not a long time ago, the moniker ‘Ultrabook’ was taken for laptops that boasted a small 13-inch screen, a very thin chassis, no optical drive and a low- to middle-end graphics card. However, the concept is changing fast and new notebooks pouring in the market are soaking more and more specifications in. The latest device […]

Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581TG: The tech geek’s preview – Part 2

The Timeline Ultra M3 has clean lines, a matte black plastic body, and an aluminum lid. The entire laptop’s construction has a hollower feel than the rock-solid metal build of a MacBook Air or even the Razer Blade. This Acer has the veneer of a budget-level machine, and the keyboard and screen to match. The […]

Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581TG: The tech geek’s preview – Part 3

The 15.6-inch LED screen is a major letdown when it comes to resolution. A maximum resolution of 1,366×768 pixels feels like cheating when all the other graphics and processor upgrades are thrown in; after all, this laptop boasts a next-gen Nvidia GPU, so why not show off a higher resolution? It baffles me, and while […]

Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581TG: The tech geek’s preview – Part 4

However, there is one performance aspect of note: when running on battery, even on “high-performance” settings, benchmark results dipped. Street Fighter IV dropped to 30.5 frames per second at 1,366×768 with the same graphics settings on battery power; when outputting to a 1080p monitor via HDMI, the frame rate dropped to 20.8 fps. The laptop […]

Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581TG: The tech geek’s preview – Part 5

The speakers are in the front side giving a loud audio, which is welcome. However, fall short of the quality suggested by the Dolby Home Theatre Professionally Tuned label that hovers above the keyboard. Again, the speakers are fine for normal laptop use, but audio on ultrabooks like the Asus Zenbook put it to shame. […]
