Review: Kindle Fire HDX

Posted on September 28, 2014

Amazon’s new Kindle Fire HDX is the most advanced Kindle tablet ever released. I recently had an opportunity to check it out, and it’s an exceptional machine.

In addition to its super-sharp 1920 X 1200 HDX 7″ display, it also features the fastest processor you can get on a 7 inch tablet (2.2GHz quad-core) along with 2GB of RAM for fast, efficient multi-tasking, gaming, and video rendering.

The base model comes with 16GB of flash storage, but you can opt for up to 64Gb if you wish. Battery life is a very respectable 11 to 17 hours, depending on how the tablet is used. [Read more…]

Most people will tell you that once you’ve owned a PC that boots from an SSD, you’ll never want to be without one again!

I recently received a Samsung 840 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5-Inch SATA III SSD for review, and I decided to install it in my Gateway desktop PC. In this review I’ll give you my opinion of the drive. [Read more…]

Review: HP ProBook 430 Ultrabook with Windows 7 Professional

Posted on September 10, 2014

I’m often asked if it’s still possible to buy a new laptop that’s running Windows 7, and the answer is yes. There are actually a lot of Windows 7 PCs still on the market today.

A perfect example is the HP ProBook 430 Ultrabook, a compact and light, but very capable ultrabook laptop that’s selling quite well at the moment.

I really like the modern ultrabooks that have become so popular these days. They typically pack a lot of power and functionality into a thin, light package, and this attractive ultrabook from HP is very nice indeed. [Read more…]
