MSI Wind U115-025UK- 10in Hybrid Netbook Review

Innovation can be a double-edged sword. While we've been frank in our criticism of netbooks for their lack of just that, it's as much a reflection of the sector and its demands as the strategy of any manufacturer - when you're trying to make low-cost devices there isn't a great deal of wiggle room! It's a problem that's amply demonstrated by the MSI Wind U115 (U115-025UK), which MSI terms a 'hybrid netbook' due to its use of both solid state storage and a mechanical hard drive. This is without doubt an innovation, but it comes at a price.

That price is £450 - yes, you did read that correctly. That, in anyone's book, is a lot of money for a netbook, but MSI has thrown the book at the U115 where features are concerned. Notwithstanding the hybrid storage element (which we'll get onto in a moment) the U115 joins a select group of netbooks that use Intel's GMA 500 graphics chipset.

Archos 2 PMP gets video walkthrough and review

The Archos 2 ain't much to write home about, and in reality, it ain't too revolutionary compared to simplistic DAPs that emerged years back. The reason for its existence? To get portable music into shallow pockets. The crew over at ArchosFans were able to grab hold of the diminutive media player and take it for a spin (in the park, at the cubicle, etc.). We won't spoil the eight minutes of fun that await you after the break, but we can say this: the main selling point here is the price, and while you won't find anything exceptionally fancy, it'll get the job done for $39 (4GB), $59 (8GB) or $99 (16GB).

Sharp Aquos LC-52XS1E 52in RGB-LED LCD TV Review

I hope you were sitting down when you clocked the £9,000 price attached to Sharp's LC-52XS1E. For it's definitely the sort of thing that might get your average punter feeling a bit faint, especially in the recession. Even a politician would have a hard time putting one of these babies through on expenses, for heaven's sake.

Of course, though, while the 52XS1E might be phenomenally, even ground-breakingly expensive (conveniently forgetting the £12k or more price tags of the very first plasma screens all those years ago), it's also pretty damn interesting. For surely any TV that reckons it can persuade people to part with so much money must have some pretty special talents tucked away up its sleeves.

Sony apparently puts PSP Extended Life Battery Kit back on sale

What a wild ride this thing has had. Originally announced back in November of 2007, the PSP Extended Life Battery Kit promised to provide right around 20 percent more battery life in exchange for $45 and an additional bulge. Then, Sony seemingly canned the thing abruptly in August of 2008. Just a month later, Sony's US director of hardware marketing John Koller confessed that the PSP-3000's new screen would eat away more severely at the battery, but that an extended cell would solve the quandary for a few of your hard-earned dollars. Now, it seems he's finally making good on that proclamation, with the PlayStation Portable Extended Life Battery Kit back on the outfit's website for $44.99. At least one user over at the official PlayStation forums has already received one, but at the moment, SonyStyle is showing the item as backordered. Might as well get in line, yeah?

Seagate Showcase DVR Storage Expander 1TB review

As more and more Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) offer the choice of recording in high-definition, and more consumers decide to prioritize picture quality, the standard storage in most models simply can’t keep up. Into that fray steps the DVR Expander, a straightforward way of adding recording capacity; today it’s the turn of the Seagate Showcase DVR Storage Expander, a full 1TB of storage.

Like other DVR Expanders we’ve reviewed, setup is deliberately easy. Seagate supply the Showcase unit itself- a 2.5 x 6.0 x 8.0 inch box - together with a stand for positioning it vertically, an A/C power adapter, quick-start guide and either a 1m USB or 1m eSATA cable, depending on which model you’ve bought. 500GB and 1TB versions are available, with either USB 2.0 or eSATA connections to suit different models of DVR.
