Thirty pages per minute is fast for an ink jet printer. Very fast in fact. So, how do you react to an inkjet printer that pumps out between 60 and 70 pages per minute? We think the proper response is stunned silence. Memjet's new inkjet printer tech is able to spray a page with ink in a single pass, rather than having to travel across the page several times to produce an image. At CES, the company ...

We're sure someone out there has already dubbed this the year of the tablet, and it's hard to blame them. Gadget makers all over CES were showing off slate and tablet devices of every stripe, some running NVIDIA's Tegra platform and Android, and some using Intel hardware to push Windows and Linux. But through the chaos, clear trends were forming, dividing lines being drawn. There were also a ...

With the massive success of netbooks, companies like Lenovo discovered a lot of consumers aren't so much interested in cutting-edge notebooks anymore as they are convenience. So it set out to create an extremely portable device with enough power to fill the niche between smartphones and netbooks: the smartbook. For the most part, the 10.-inch Skylight accomplishes that goal. The ...

Scorpion by Eton At CES 2008 we fell in love with the Eton MicroLink -- a combo radio, flashlight, and emergency gadget charger capable of being powered by AC, solar panel, or hand-crank. The Scorpion is the much more useful big brother. In addition to a higher capacity battery, and a digital tuner for more accurately pulling in those NOAA radio signals, it has a carabiner for clipping to ...

Lenovo, the company behind the rock-solid Thinkpad line of laptops (a personal favorite of at least one Switched staffer), has unveiled (intentionally or not) a boatload of new machines ahead of this week's CES festivities. We've seen a couple of uncharacteristically shiny Thinkpads, as well as the business class X100e netbook, but by far the most interesting thing is the IdeaPad U1 Hybrid. At ...

We were lucky to get a couple of days to play around with the sexy, new Lenovo U110 ultraportable laptop. It's only 2.3 pounds and, as you can see, small enough to fit into the teeniest of backpacks. It's also one of the slickest looking notebooks we've ever laid our eyes or hands on, with oversized keys that make typing surprisingly smooth (for such a small laptop). Handling-wise, ...

Nine months after the much delayed, and much ballyhooed launch of Windows Vista, things are not looking good for Microsoft's new operating system. Since its release, users have lodged a litany of complaints against Bill Gates's new baby, including poor device and application compatibility, high hardware requirements, and frequent crashes. In order to sell new computers, which more often than not ...

While Windows is king, and Apple is the media darling, it's time we all started to take Linux operating system (OS) a little more seriously. The often free and always open-source OS is either completely unknown to the mainstream, or thought of as something employed only by the super geek elite. But,there's nothing to be afraid of: If you've ever used a Mac or Windows computer before, you would ...
