Acer Aspire S3 ultrabook: light on the pocket
For a long time, the only real manufacturer of the sort of slim, lightweight laptops that have earned the title “ultrabooks” has been Apple with its MacBook Air range. That’s fine if you’re an Apple user, or don’t mind becoming one, but not if you want or need to use Windows. Finally
Kindle Touch review: evolutionary e-reader

Xperia Arc: more show than substance

Mi-Fone Mi-A300: smart phone, smarter price

Nokia’s BH-905i Bluetooth cans: aural ecstasy
Nokia’s BH-905i headphones have a lot going for them. They use Bluetooth wireless technology but include a wire for use with non-Bluetooth devices and a converter for almost every audio connection imaginable. And they come in their own travel
Dell Latitude E6220 review: petite powerhouse
The new Dell E-Series is designed for those on the road who are looking for an ultraportable laptop that doesn’t compromise on raw computing power and doesn’t need a power outlet after an hour of use. TechCentral’s Craig Wilson put the E6220 through its
