When looking at desktop PCs, especially those that could run Windows 8 I’ve pointed out many times that most screens are not touch screen.  This of course is probably something that Microsoft would love to change.  As people who want to stick to the desktop variant of the PC look to touch screens it’s interesting to see what is available.  One that is available is the Viewsonic VSD220, which comes with a surprising little extra.

The VSD220 is a 22 inch touch-enabled screen that loo…

As we move closer to 2013 our eyes look to the future and what technology will impress us and look to steal our hard earned cash from us.  There have been televisions that show how far we’ve come with their promised 4k resolutions and improvements in 3D, and smartphones that offer all kinds of things and of course tablets which fight for attention.  In a little change from the usual reviews I thought I’d look at something a little different for the quiet time between Christmas and the …

When buying new technology for your computer it’s often a case that the keyboard is the last thing you would think about, especially when spending a lot of money.  When we look to upgrading we look to upgrade the screen, add as much memory as possible, make the processor faster, add graphical power and of course add some storage in there.  The fact is though especially for people who do a lot of typing a good keyboard can be essential.

There are tons of gaming keyboards out there, …

When the world was watching Apple reveal that the iPad Mini was to be released there were many other releases revealed at the same time.  There were that many that some were hardly even noticed in the excitement.  One of these is the Mac Mini, which is similar to a HTPC (though Apple don’t want it to be called that), is often used as an easy to hide server but also works as a relatively good workstation to use, in a minimised form of course.

With all of Apple’s iPods, iPads, iMacs,…

Now that we have sleek and snazzy looking laptops, tablets that can do most of the things the average PC can do and phones that can take care of the smaller tasks of the day desktop PCs are arguably becoming less popular, they need something to set them apart from the crowd.

In the past this has been their popularity with playing games, which is still true to hard-core gamers but for others, especially with more powerful laptops on the market this is something that they no longer hav…

Consoles are the home of gaming, or that is what the popular view is.  This is of course because the consoles are relatively cheap, easy to run and easy to upgrade.  The most upgrades you have to do is to buy a new controller, or if it needs more an entirely new machine.  You don’t have to mess around with pieces of hardware (unless you choose to) and everything you do on them is relatively simple.

For hard-core fans though who want their games looking their best it’s coming to a tim…

Gaming desktops, especially for the hardcore PC gamer are normally powerhouses of computers.  They have the most powerful graphics cards available and more cores on the processor than you’ll ever probably need.  As desktops become more stylish though some people want a good looking machine that can offer just as much power as one of the monsters that can be built.

The Alienware X51 is a machine that can hold up to the powerhouse moniker yet still look good.  With an Intel Core i7 pro…
