Bigger is not always better and the heated mini-laptop wars are definitly on! I mean, with our need to be constantly connected, who wants to carry around an 8 pond laptop just because it has nice graphics. Leave all that heavy equipment at home, get yourself a real network, and then interface with the world through a mini. Sounds so much better to me.
This laptop has some decent features:
- 1 Gig of RAM
- 80GB Hard drive
- 3 USB interfaces
- Ethernet ready
- Bluetooth enabled
- 1.3kg in weight
- 4-in-1 memory card reader
- 1.3-megapixel webcam
- 10 inch display
- 1024×600 resolution
- built in speakers
- Windows XP or SUSE Linux
Now I might question if the hard drive is solid-state, the version of XP, or the skimpy 1GB of RAM. But all in all this little should work quite well. |

Do you have multiple computers in your home that you continually switch back and fort to. Do they take up additional space on your desk. Or maybe you are a consultant and you find yourself shifting in your cubical to type on the client machine and then on your personal laptop. The solution is here. A two port KVM switch will hook those two computers together through a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse. With the use of a simple “hot-key” you can switch from one system to the next. Setup is a snap, just plug in each system with the cables extensions and then plug in the shared monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Now you have a real workhorse of a solution that makes you more efficient.
There are many models for hooking different USB/PS2 systems. Check out IOGEAR

I just think this is a really cool device for home monitoring. Its wireless, allows you to watch whats going on around your home from you PC, and has configure options to let you stream this to the outside world and any browser. This unit is able to be mounted on a wall, or just keep it in the stand provided. There is also an option to tell the camera to send a short video in an email attachment whenever it detects motion in its field of view. Quite a unique feature so you don’t have to continually monitor your Web browser to see if anything is happening. This way you won’t miss a thing, it notifies you when there is activity, then you just open a browser and start viewing. There is also a recording utility that enables you to record the audio and video to a local hard drive.
