Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet review
The NOOK Tablet is the second Android tablet from Barnes & Noble, but it’s the first one that the company calls a tablet. That’s because while the first model was positioned as an eBook reader that could also run some apps, Barnes & Noble improved the processor, increased the RAM and storage space, and expanded the […]

Velocity Micro Cruz T410 review
The Velocity Micro T408 tablet which I reviewed recently is a solid entry into the budget 7 inch Android tablet space. The company might not have the name recognition of Amazon or Barnes & Noble, or the custom software that you get with a tablet from those companies — but that’s exactly why the T408 […]

Toshiba Thrive Android tablet review: full-sized ports make a difference
The Toshiba Thrive isn’t the first Android tablet to hit the streets. It’s not the thinnest, lightest or cheapest.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 review
Let’s face it. There’s very little difference in performance between the leading 10 inch Android tablets. Most have the same NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor and similar 10.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel displays. A few still run Google Android 3.0 while a handful run Android 3.1. But in terms of overall performance, they’re […]

Solid State Disks come in all shapes and sizes, offering low power, quieter, and faster storage alternatives to traditional hard drives. But they also tend to be more expensive. MyDigitalDiscount’s latest line of SSDs are relatively inexpensive solutions given the price. The online retailer has been producing a line of SSDs for netbooks, notebooks, and tablets […]

Review of Renice K3VLAR 50mm mSATA SSD
Since my last review of a Renice Technology Mini PCIe form factor solid state disk the company has upped it’s line of Mini PCIe form factor SSDs to include the Renice K3VLAR 50MM mSATA SSD, which adds Renice to the still small but growing list of companies now producing mSATA drives. Typical of many mSATA […]
