This configuration will let you get some work done. Costs just a hair above $400. Quad-Core CPU, 8GB ram and a Graphics Chip that does allow for some light gaming. Dig in for more information.

It is my solid impression that most of you use, or are planning to buy computers far too powerful. Far too powerful for the tasks you can throw at them. It’s okay, marketing is like that. In this article I aim to prove that it’s often unnecessary to buy a PC for a thousand dollars, and you already have the skills to build one for under $250 given a list…

It is possible to build a PC for under $250 in September 2011. The best part about it is that it’s not all that bad, either. Intel Atom motherboards made extreme cuts in price not just possible, but convenient without sacrificing power. With the introduction of dual-core Atom processors the performance is finally enough for it to handle most applications you use in your daily routine. College students, Facebook addicts,…

It really intrigues me for some strange reasons. Day in day out I see posts about how a 13″ MacBook Pro can’t support one’s needs. What gives? The thing trumps anything you could get two years ago and people still made and watched 1080P HD videos back then. The question that bugs me the most is: Why do people feel that they must own the latest in computing to be…

Update: Back in Business. Portugal was great, Portuguese people left me with the best of impressions. Cheerful, vibrant and even if they don’t speak English, they go out of their ways to help you the best they can.

It doesn’t matter. Let me explain why by first adding that I just got my hands on a 2009 Macbook Air. A friend of my girlfriend bought it and let her use it until there is someone who can bring it over to him, which means I’ve got some time to test it, but I don’t really have to. I could run benchmarks all day long and it wouldn’t matter,…

Last week the new MacBook Air line hit the market like a sophisticated sledgehammer. Every tech site worth its salt reviewed it, and they’re happy with the performance, battery life and everything. All those are irrelevant. Let me tell you why. My fiancée doesn’t wear pink unless it’s unavoidable. She doesn’t go around town wielding a trendy handbag just because it’s trendy. She gets her paycheck for what you’d consider…

People keep asking me what the deal with that is. I have a rather decent external display and a MacBook Pro 13″, and use the latter with its lid closed and under the desk. They can’t figure out what my motivations are with that. When you think about it for a second, they’ve got a point, I could have a second LED backlit display with 1280 x 800 pixels resolution….
