Logitech Alto Cordless Notebook Stand and Keyboard Review

Posted on 11 January 2008 by Jason Rybka

If you’ve been looking for a good solution to make your laptop (or notebook, whichever term you prefer) a bit more user friendly while in a stationary location, then Logitech’s Alto Cordless may be a product you might consider looking into. I happened to notice the unit while I was in my local Costco retailer.

The unit I purchased differs a bit from what Logitech’s official description provides in the fact that it comes with a wireless optical mouse as well, it was also about 20 bucks cheaper than the listed $99 retail price. Here are my thoughts on the cordless notebook accessory. Continue Reading

So I decided to purchase the Belkin USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 Port), this is a stackable powered hub that has two ports on top for easy access and five ports along the back side, and features a built in cable management system for the things that you frequently need to charge, such as an MP3 player or a cell phone. Belkin also has built weights into the hub so that it does not slide around on your workstation, which is a nice added feature.

Headsets for Xbox Live are a dime a dozen these days, so is it worth it to spend the extra cash on a third party headset?

Here is what we determined about the three headsets within this lineup: Continue Reading

Posted on 12 November 2007 by Joseph Rybka

The Maxtor One Touch 4 Mini is a sleek and very compact external hard drive. The outer casing is made of an aluminum top cover, plastic surrounding the sides and rubber on the bottom to assure that it does not slide. Behind the stylish case lies a 5400 RPM, 2.5″ PATA hard drive with 8MB of cache memory. Continue Reading
