Samsung UN46D6400
|
 “The Samsung UN46D6400 is a 46-inch edge-lit LED LCD TV that has a really stylish design, excellent color quality and really good 3D picture quality. It is on the expensive side, unfortunately, and does suffer from glare because of its glossy screen.”

Samsung Series 9
|
|
“The Samsung Series 9 laptop is an Apple Macbook Air competitor due to its slim size at only 0.7-inches thick and less than three pounds. It has a 13.3-inch LED display with a 720p HD resolution, the new Intel "Sandy Bridge" Intel CPU and 4GB of RAM. While the specs are very attractive, they don't come without a high price.”

ASRock Core 100HT HTPC
|
|
"The ASRock Core 100HT HTPC offers a well rounded home theater experience for those who do not need or want a beast of a PC running 24/7. Many users run their HTPC non-stop and having low power consumption keeps money in the bank. The ASRock Core 100HT uses less power at idle than two 13W CFL energy efficient lightbulbs! As far as performance goes, the ASRock Core 100HT is a more robust system for playing HD content than most nettop platforms such as the Intel Atom platform or the AMD Fusion APU platform if you plan on running any tasks in the background like ripping DVDs or Blu-Rays or even re-encoding video content..."

Samsung TL500
|
|
“The Samsung TL500 is a 10-megapixel digital camera that has a 3-inch flip-out LCD display and a really solid design. Some of the features include RAW shooting and optical & digital image stabilization, but the camera's image quality is only average and performance is also quite slow too.”

Dynex 32" Class 720p 60Hz LCD HDTV
|
|
"Today for review I’ve got a very inexpensive HDTV from Dynex, it’s 32” Class in size and it offers 720P resolution and the price is below $300. Hard to believe you can get an HDTV that size for so little isn’t it? The Dynex is what you might call a barebones HDTV, meaning that it’s very limited in what it can do and what types of ports and the number or ports you have to work with. "

Boxee Box HD Media Player, Updated and Netflix Ready
|
|
Free flowing bandwidth; it's an enabler. There was a time when no one had cable modems or DSL lines. Remember that? Alright, fair enough, neither do we. Regardless, having a 10Mb+ data connection to your domicile is a thing of beauty, because there's obviously so much you can do with it. The question becomes not so much what the cable or telecom companies tell you, or sell to you, with respect to what you can do with it, but rather what a little imagination, and some optimized hardware and software can do with it. And that's exactly the premise by which service platforms like Roku, Apple TV, Google TV and Boxee were born, though Boxee was a bit of a pioneer in the space with the introduction of their cross-platform software in early 2010. Boxee touted their software as the first "Social Media Center," with the ability to rate content and share it with your friends across multiple portals like Facebook and Twitter...

Wesena ITX7 Mini-ITX HTPC Chassis Review
|
|
Historically one of the hardest parts about going DYI (do it yourself) with a small form factor (SFF) home theater PC (HTPC) has been finding a nice mini-ITX case that actually looks like it belongs in the A/V stack. Until recently enthusiasts have had to choose between “the cube” and killing the pig for a benchmark chassis like the OrigenAE M10; fortunately Wesena is set to alter this dichotomy with their all aluminum ITX7 enclosure. Offering a sleek look, space for a slot loading optical drive and a built in infrared receiver we have the opportunity to take a look at the first revision of an interesting new entrant in this space.

Western Digital WD TV Live Hub Review
|
|
"Sitting at the top of the WD TV line-up is the Live Hub and that's the one we're looking at today. Checking out the box, you can see the device and some of the main features. One of the bigger features is the 1TB hard drive that's embedded into the WD TV Live Hub. On the front of the box we can also see some of the other main features which include support with Blockbuster, Netflix, Pandora, Facebook and YouTube. Unfortunately not all these features are available outside of the US, but the ones that are like YouTube and Facebook work great. We'll get into all that a little later, though.
Looking at the actual device, it's very sleek and while it's a little thinner than other devices we've seen, it's a little wider. You shouldn't have any problem finding a nice spot for it, though, and that's the most important thing. The device is fairly simple looking and there's not a whole lot going on with the front having a lit up WD logo along with a power button and USB port. Both sides don't have anything while the back has all our connectivity, which is pretty strong."
