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.

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.

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.

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 […]

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.
