The Holy Grail of Laptops ?
SONY VAIO VPCZ128GGX (Australian model)
I have been selling computers for many years and its always been the case that what users wanted was a fast, powerful, light weight, laptop with great battery life. This has always been a contradiction as you could have great battery life but had to give up performance or you could have great performance at the cost of lightness and battery life. Well SONYs new Z series may have actually done the impossible and produced a laptop that is light weight, powerful and fast, and has awesome battery life.
SONY has delved deep into the exotic parts bin to do this, and that is reflected in the price. The Sony VAIO Z128 isn’t cheap, but that’s to be expected when you have components like Solid State drives, intels high end I7 processor, 8GB of fast DDR3 ram, and carbon composite/precision billet aluminium construction. The LED backlit LCD display is a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. The Sony VAIO Z128
design makes me think of a formula 1 car, as no part of the design has been compromised, and exotic parts are used when there is a benefit. This results in the Sony VAIO Z128
delivering in spades, in all areas of performance.

LOGITECH G27 RACING WHEEL for PS3 and PC
Logitech G27 Racing Wheel for PC and PS3
I love racing games and although I am happy to use a standard joy-pad controller for most games, its just not right for driving games. A proper wheel with pedals is the only way to go. When you drive a real car, you don’t have a button that’s on or off for an accelerator or brake, you have a pedal that you can be held at 70% through a corner, and then planted at the apex. You can modulate the brake when your on dirt to prevent lock up. A switch just doesn’t give you that control. read full article here

Acer Aspire One AO751h-1545 11.6-Inch Black Netbook – 8 Hour Battery Life
I have had the Acer Aspire One for a couple of months now and it has replaced my Asus EEE netbook. I decided that as I live on my netbook these days, it was time to update. My EEE had severed me well but I felt a little more grunt under the hood would be nice, and better battery life would be good too. The larger screen and keyboard were also factors. read full article here

WINDOWS 7
Let me start off by saying I am not a Vista hater. I sell computers and went into Vista wit an open mind. I liked it straight away and didn’t find the UAC prompts that bad. This (UAC) issue is probably the only gripe that people had that was valid(apart from software bloat), and to those people I suggest they harden up and that they should have a good hard look in the mirror, because there are far more serious issues in the world they could take issue with. I have had to listen to soooooo many ill-informed customers winge about Vista, and all of them, when questioned further about their grevience with Vista, didn’t really have one, and where just bandwagoning. read full article here

Logitech Dinovo Edge
This has to be the nicest keyboard I have ever owned. Sure it looks great but more importantly it is a pleasure to use. It has some great features too, like the Touchdisc, which is like a laptop touch pad but possibly more functional when using away from a desk, like navigating online from the couch. Its not as functional as a mouse or touchpad when working on a document for example, as dragging and dropping is limited by size, but its scrolling function is fantastic. You slide your finger around edge of disc to scroll up or down by starting at side. If you do same thing at bottom of disc it allows vertical scrolling. On mine I adjusted the speed through the supplied software(which is great interface), to get it to my liking. Below this are traditional left and right mouse click buttons. read full article here

Brain Machine Interface (or Direct Neural Interface)
Brain machine interface(BMI) is a direct communication pathway between a brain and an external device. This was a subject of science fiction, as seen in the movie Firefox but is now a reality, although still in its early days. Original work in this science began in the 1970′s. read full article here

I got this UPS(Uninterruptable Power Supply)/surge protection power a few weeks before I got my new laptop. I had been using a good quality surge protection board with my old laptop, but decided I should upgrade to this unit with the new laptop, due to its expense and my lack of ability to easily replace it if it got damaged. read full article here

With my new Asus N50vc laptop having the ability to run most games, I thought it was time to grab a couple and see how it performed. One of the games I grabbed was Mirrors Edge.This game is great and highly addictive but control and precision timing are essential. read full article here
