Samsung N220 (Intel Atom N450 Pine Trail) 10.1-inch Netbook Review @ Modsynergy.com

"One of the products that I haven't reviewed yet is the netbook. Today that is about to change. These little miniature computers have been surprisingly successful that even Intel were surprised at just how well they were selling in the western market.

Some of the reasons why I think people have been so receptive of netbooks is because they are inexpensive, small, very lightweight and offer excellent battery life. At the end of the day, netbooks are meant for a specific task; to browse the Internet, hence the name 'Net' book.

Today I am reviewing the Samsung N220 netbook which features a 10.1-inch screen, 250GB hard drive, is based on the Intel Atom N450 Pine Trail processor (1.66GHz) and includes a 5900mAh battery that Samsung claims can give you 11-hours of battery life! Is this netbook any good? Let's find out shall we?"

GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide Camera Review @ Modsynergy.com

"There is one problem however with all of the video cameras out there and that is the question of mounting them. People who live active lifestyles always have the issue of finding a suitable solution of mounting their video cameras. The manufactures either do not offer mounting kit for a variety of applications or the device is too big to be mounted.

However, there is now a solution for those that want to mount and record video for just about any type of application you can think of such as automotive, sports and flying. Today I am happy to share with you my review of the GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide Camera. This little camera is a gem at being mounted because it includes a dedicated mounting system that can be placed just about anywhere, a suction mount for automotive usage and even more optional mounts available for sale. Read on to see more of the GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide Camera."

JETBeam M1X (MC-E) and JETBeam JET I PRO V3 (R2) Long-Term LED Flashlight Review @ Modsynergy.com

"I think I have obtained another obsession or perhaps the better word is hobby? Within the last few months, I have dove into the world of flashlights, but these are not your old regular flashlights that grandma grew up with, these are high powered LED-type flashlights which I have found to be invaluable and superior in every way possible; the technology is staggering!

In this long-term review (there's nothing better than reviewing flashlights in a long-term basis, as any flaws are revealed) I am going to be reviewing the military series JETBeam M1X and the tactical backup series JETBeam JET I PRO V3 LED flashlights and putting them through the normal wear and tear situations, which will reveal how these flashlights have handled long-term usage."

Sentey Arvina GS-6400 Full Tower Case Review @ OCIA.net

""Sentey is a name that prior to working on this review, I hadn't heard before. This surprised me as I have been building machines for quite a few years. Sentey manufacturers their cases in Shenzen, China and is headquartered in Florida, USA. I wasn't able to track down an exact start date on their website. The case being reviewed, the GS-6400 I can only locate for sale via Amazon.com or the Sentey affiliates in Florida and has a first available date of June 1, 2010. This case is a product of their “Extreme Division”, one of five case divisions ranging from a more classic look to slim models to gaming styles."

Corsair H70 Review – versus Vantage & NH D14 @ 4.53ghz

"Corsair and Coolit are fighting head to head with ‘high end’, yet mainstream all in one liquid cooling solutions and as KitGuru recently reviewed the Coolit Vantage we felt it was time to publish our analysis of the Corsair H70 … the successor to the class leading, and very popular H50 CPU cooler.
The H50 was one of my favourite coolers, it was small enough to be easily moved from system to system and it was a long standing component which we used in many of our system builds. The H70 is bigger, with a double thick 120mm radiator for improved heat dissipation and the integrated pump and reservoir are sealed for zero maintenance."

Creative Vado HD Cam @ Technic3D

"The Creative Vado HD – Mini-Camcorder arrived Technic3D. See it, shoot it, and share it-all in high definition. Creative Lab's third generation Vado HD Pocket Video Camera makes it easier than ever to record outstanding video in 720p high-definition quality.

With instant one-touch recording and included Vado Central 3.0 software, you'll be watching, sharing and editing outstanding video with ease? We will check this in the following Review."

Aerocool F6XT Fan Controller @ Pro-Clockers

"In the past few months we have seen a few cases that come with fan controllers. But how many of us are able to go out and purchase a new case just because it comes with a fan controller no matter how good the case looks. So, for those that do not have this luxury Aerocool has produced quite a few fan controllers in their existences.

Today, we will be taking a look at Aerocool’s latest controller that I find very simple but at the same time is one of my favorite from them. The F6XT is a six channel controller that can support 12 watts on each channel. What I like about the F6XT is there isn’t a lot going on visually with the controller just a few LED lights and very little verbiage. Making those that like the facial of their case simplistic and appealing."

Super Talent Extreme Performance DDR3 RAM @ TechwareLabs

“Everybody takes life at their own speed. Some take it slow, some like it fast, and some aren't happy unless they're moving at ludicrous speed. For those people, SuperTalent has come out with a new set of performance DDR3 ram that is rated at 2000MT/sa full 666 MT/s faster than the fastest official DDR3-1333. Today, we'll be taking a look at the Super Talent Extreme Performance DDR3 dual channel kit, suited for Socket-1157 Intel or AM3 AMD-based systems."

Seagate GoFlex Home 1TB Network Storage System Review @ Bigbruin.com

"For the average home user, the Seagate GoFlex Home 1TB network storage system will be a nice addition to their network. It won't replace a more powerful server or NAS, but it is substantially cheaper and easier to manage. In addition, the GoFlex Home provides the ability to remove the hard drive from the dock and use it elsewhere with other GoFlex compatible devices."

QNAP TS-259 Pro @ Bjorn3D

"Intel's Atom platform has had great success in the netbook market, especially due to its low power consumption. As a result, manufacturers started introducing the Atom processor into different computer hardwares such as Tablet PCs, HTPCs, and NetTops. Now the Atom has moved into the Network Attached Storage (NAS) market.

SoC are often used in budget and mainstream NAS products due to their lower power consumption, but they are not as powerful as a desktop processor based NAS. High-end NAS products like the QNAP TS 809 Pro will often use desktop processors that emphasize performance over power consumption. The Atom processor seems to be a perfect marriage of the two with its combination of high performance (due to its x86 design) and low power consumption."

Corsair Force Series F120 120GB Solid State Drive Review @ ThinkComputers.org

"We first got our hands on a SandForce-based drive when Corsair was nice enough to send us their F100 solid state drive. We were very excited and anxious to see the performance boost from the traditional Indilinx Barefoot drives we had been reviewing for the past year. Recently we have seen many extended capacity drives, meaning there is less over-provisioning in order for a larger capacity drive. Many people think that 20GB is not that much extra space, but when it comes down to it, it really is. Also prices have dropped quite considerably in the past few months. At the time we reviewed the F100 it re tailed for around $400 and now you can get the F120 for around $300! Let’s take a look at this drive!"

Sentey Arvina GS-6400R Computer Case @ Benchmark Reviews

"A well designed case can be the difference between an easy, well-organized build or a nightmare build that haunts you everytime time you need to do work on your computer. The Sentey Arvina GS-6400R is a full ATX case that supports E-ATX motherboards. The Arvina comes with six fans, five 5.25" drive bays, five 3.5" drive bays, and quite a bit of flare in its look. With numbers like these, it sounds like Sentey could have a winner with its Arvina line, but do these numbers add up to a good experience or are you just paying for a lot of flashy lights? Benchmark Reviews will take a indepth look at this case to find out. "

Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 Motherboard Review @ Ninjalane

"It has been quite some time since we last reviewed an AMD enabled motherboard and much to our surprise not much has changed. Granted the processors have gotten more powerful and they overclock better however none of that can be realized if your motherboard cannot unlock all of that potential."

REVIEW: Cooler Master Elite 430 @ PureOverclock

"Cooler Master is one of the largest manufacturers of computer components around and I certainly do not envy the task they have at hand. There is certainly some fierce completion out there when it comes to cases. Today we will be looking at Cooler Masters newest model in the entry level chassis : the Elite 430. The Elite 430 is a mid-sized tower that sports a subtle and understated design that just may pack a punch when we find out what can be housed inside this modestly-sized chassis.”
