Optimus OLED Keyboard?

I got caught up in the hype of the Optimus OLED keyboard... but I quickly rescinded my excitement, when I realized a few things: 1) The entire selling point of this keyboard is the reconfigurable OLED keys... how often will you be changing the display on your key layout? Even if you were to...

Backlit Keyboard

I just ordered a Deck Legend keyboard earlier tonight. It's supposed to be the shiznit keyboard... no gimmicky LCDs, macros, crazy key layouts, replaceable key templates, etc. No crappy, mushy key strokes from membrane-keyboards. Just an incredibly solid keboard frame, keys with incredible...

mx518 vs. G5

I upgraded from a MX510 to a G5, and I love it. The increased sensor sensitivity REALLY pays off... once you get used to the sensor action and adjustable weight of the G5, you will never go back. Only gripes I have about the G5 is that it's missing a thumb button on the side of the mouse, and...

cool cpu for notebook.

Your CPU automatically reduces its clockspeed when it isn't under load (ie, when you're browsing the internet) specifically to save power. There isn't much you can do in this regard. If you want to really save some power, you can undervolt your CPU. Here is a nice guide to show you how to...

Shuttle sn95g5 or a ps2?

I gotta agree with Mosad on this one, Uh Oh. Right now, all you have is an x800 vid card (which is a great vid card, BTW... especially on HL2 engine). The Shuttle SN95G5 is worthless without a P939 processor and 2-sticks of RAM. If the processor and RAM are future purchases, hold off until...

Battery life on Dell 700m's

The CNET review probably used the 4-cell battery, and not the 8-cell. My experience with this laptop is 2-2.5 hours with 4-cell, 4-5 hours with 8-cell. And I have upgraded a 4200rpm laptop drive to a Hitachi 7200rpm drive. There is an INCREDIBLE boost in performance and load times, and no...

Shuttle sn95g5 or a ps2?

The Shuttle case isn't worth it unless you are willing to also invest in the following items: Socket 939 Athlon64 CPU 2x DIMMS (at least DDR400) Single-Slit AGP video card (No 6800Ultras... 6800 vanilla or 6800GT are okay, all ATIs are OK) Black DVD/CD drive If you are, I say yes, get...

Best A64 SFF Case/ Barebone

I don't know if you are dead set on Socket754, but if you are willing to consider a Socket 939, I recommend the Shuttle SN95G5 XPC. Small, quiet, and FAST. It's even cooler if you get a black DVD/CD drive.

UXGA or SXGA?

Get the UXGA. If the text is too small, just change font sizes. Or get a desktop theme app, like WindowBlinds, and choose a desktop theme that has larger fonts. Getting a clear, sharp, bright, high-res is the best use of money when buying a laptop. You will be using your screen 100% of the...
