HP Probook 4545s notebook runs off an AMD processor

Posted: 21 Sep 2012 06:30 AM PDT


Are you extremely particular about the kind of processor that your budget-friendly notebook has underneath the hood? I suppose if you have answered in the negative, then you would be pleased to hear that the HP Probook 4545s notebook will be able to pack in quite a decent performance without breaking the bank, while running on an AMD processor to boot. You know the saying, it does not matter what color the cat is, as long as it is capable of catching mice. Well, the HP Probook 4545s notebook is said to be specially designed for the enterprise market, so you can be sure that a handful of key points such as durability, multimedia capability, performance and a full array of ports are taken into consideration.

When it comes to the issue of durability, it is rather obvious that folks who are always busy as a bee and are on-the-go tend to put have their precious notebooks endure some rather harsh moments, through transportation and perhaps even the environment. Good to know that HP has taken the corrective steps to make sure that HP Probook 4545s' chassis remains rigid all round, using aluminum that has been treated to be smudge and scratch resistant in the process.

Not only that, just in case you are feasting on a dinner of pizza and Coke again, the keyboard has been specially constructed to be spill-resistant, which is a must-have feature for business notebooks as you can never quite tell when a clumsy moment will send that can of Coke flying across the keyboard. Apart from that, there is also an integrated sensor which will park the HDD heads in order to prevent a fatal disk crash just in case you drop your HP Probook 4545s by accident.

HP has also thrown in a webcam that works decently for standard use,while a discrete GPU should make it a decent gaming machine, although do not expect to run the latest titles in the highest quality settings. It has a 15.6″ display at a resolution of 1366×768 which is not too hot in this day and age, but functional. You can have up to an AMD quad-core A8-4500M 2.8GHz + Radeon HD 7640 GPU, up to 8GB RAM, where it carries a pair of USB 3.0 ports and an equal number of USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet, and VGA connectivity. Any takers?

Genius Traveler 9010LS Wireless Laser Mouse

Posted: 21 Sep 2012 06:00 AM PDT

The computer mouse can be said to be one of the more essential peripherals that you should "arm" yourself with, although Mac users might beg to differ. I personally know a few MacBook and MacBook Pro owners who are so used to using their respective notebooks without the mouse, claiming that a mouse will slow them down instead, that it wavered my faith in the Windows environment, albeit for a moment. Still, I am an avid Windows notebook user, and I do say life without a mouse is incomplete, as though there is no coffee during breakfast. Well, Genius has come up with what they call the Genius Traveler 9010LS Wireless Laser Mouse, where it was specially designed in a way where right-handed folks as well as southpaws will be able to use it without feeling awkward (especially for the latter).

This is a four-button mouse that is said to be able to work on just about any surface, including glass and marble. The useful Stick-N-Go mounting paves the way for trouble-free handling when moving from place to place, and it will "communicate" with its USB Pico receiver using 2.4GHz technology. The sensitivity is adjustable too, ranging from 800 to 1200 and 1600 dpi, depending on the situation at hand. Even more interesting is the fact that it works well with either AA or AAA battery, now how about that?

Just how much is Genius asking for the Genius Traveler 9010LS wireless laser mouse? Not much really, although gamers might want to steer clear of it considering how this is more suitable for an office and home environment, rather than to furiously click your way through all 100 Paragon levels in Diablo 3. Out in North America now for $39.99 a pop, each purchase will come with the mouse itself, its USB Pico receiver, a Stick-N-Go mount, and an AA alkaline battery to get you started right out of the box.

Doctor Who TARDIS Night Light

Posted: 21 Sep 2012 05:00 AM PDT

Assuming you have shared all there is to know about the Doctor Who series to your little one, hoping that your interest in the sci-fi series will rub off on him/her, how about being a wee bit more persuasive through the purchase of this $14.99 Doctor Who TARDIS Night Light? Yes sir, let the good Doctor provide some light in the dead dark of the night, ensuring that the pathway to the bathroom or hallway is always lit, making sure that monsters hiding underneath the bed will remain where they are supposed to be.

I suppose on a more psychological level with an overactive imagination in tow, the Doctor Who TARDIS Night Light would also be effective in discouraging nocturnal Dalek attacks, but that is another adventure to share with another time. The Doctor Who TARDIS Night Light will be able to plug into any standard outlet, where it will shine from both the windows and top in order to deliver an adequate amount of illumination for late night bathroom trips. You can always replace the 7 watt bulb inside when it blows.

Zooka – Let’s Get Loud!

Posted: 20 Sep 2012 06:33 PM PDT

 

I try not to spend a bunch of time dwelling on the negative, but if I do try and think of the downside of some of my newer technology I keep coming up with this… I hate to wear headphones. Yes, I can appreciate the big sound that a great pair of phones can give me, but sometimes I just want to lay my device down and have some awesome background music without having to have anything stuck in my ears. There, I said it… I hate headphones.

Well check out Zooka, another nifty Kickstarter project that hit the ground running and is now available. Zooka is a portable Bluetooth speaker for your iPad, iPhone, laptop or smartphone, and this speaker sets itself apart from the crowd in that it both magnifies and enhances the quality of the sound and unlike most speakers, this baby “hugs” your device making it one seriously ergonomic external speaker option especially for those on the go, and it looks great too!

Zooka simply slides onto the edge of your device and it even comes with a handy little kickstand that will let you and a friend sit back and enjoy a movie without having to split headphones (ever do that?) with Bluetooth capabilities from up to 30 feet away, and a built in microphone that will let you Skype to your hearts content, whats not to like about these jelly bean colored super speakers available from carbonaudioinc.com for only around 99 bucks. I know what I want for Christmas!
