We seem to have reached the stage of tablet evolution where ungainly variations are crawling out of the primordial ooze on a daily basis.Just today, a single Engadget story covered the Sony VAIO Duo 11–a tablet that converts into a laptop via a slid…

Macbook Air Multiple Monitor Support

Macbook Air Multiple Monitor Support

By Adron Hall on January 2, 2012

The Macbook Air is indeed an “insanely great” device. I have slammed this thing around, physically and virtually, from the bicycle messenger bag situation described in my buying decision post, all the way to running multiple virtual machines and multiple monitors! This machine, of course if you’re using lean, clean, powerful, and intelligent built software, […]

ON that Personal Computing Nirvana Again

ON that Personal Computing Nirvana Again

By Zoli Erdos on February 17, 2011

This will be a fairly short post – because all I do is refer to this piece I wrote recently: Motorola Takes Us a Step Closer to Personal Computing Nirvana–and it’s Not Even a Computer Why bring it up again?  Because Walt Mossberg just validated the concept: Today’s best smartphones are really hand-held computers. They […]

Bought a Netbook or Super-slim Notebook? The “Free” Windows 7 Upgrade May Cost You a Bunch.

Bought a Netbook or Super-slim Notebook? The “Free” Windows 7 Upgrade May Cost You a Bunch.

By Zoli Erdos on August 7, 2009

It’s back-to-school time, and there are some amazing bargains if you’re looking for new laptops: following Walmart, just about all major retailers offer at least one sub $300 model – a bit underpowered, if you ask me, but for $100 more you can get fairly powerful computers, still below the $500 treshold.   Netbooks are no […]

The New Lenovo: Nice Hardware, Dumb Support

The New Lenovo: Nice Hardware, Dumb Support

By Zoli Erdos on July 20, 2009

Lenovo, home of the (formerly IBM) Thinkpad’s is not exactly known as a price leader: those Thinkpads have a great reputation and a matching price-tag.  But times are changing, and Lenovo is becoming budget-friendly: the recently announced Ideapad U series, the G550, and the all-in-one Ideacentre are all “cool” computers with an attractive price.  For […]

It’s a Sony, and It’s a Netbook. How to Turn Your Dead Weight Windows Notebook Into a Speedy Netbook.

By Zoli Erdos on May 21, 2009

No, it’s not a P-Series, which Sony makes a point of calling a Lifestyle PC, not a Netbook anyway.   But I do have a nimble, fast Sony Netbook: a PCG FXA49. It’s my old, reliable notebook purchased about 7 years ago.  It suffered from Windows Disease, the most commonly known symptom of which is the […]

Alert: Your Computers Are Slowly Killing Themselves

Alert: Your Computers Are Slowly Killing Themselves

By Zoli Erdos on November 14, 2008

How old is your work computer? – asks the Wall Street Journal. Mine is a year-and-a half old.  The dual-core former screamer (obviously not the one the the pic to the right) has become an average slow machine now that quad-core is the standard, but I could not care less.   I don’t need a faster, […]
