ADATA S511 SSD Review

February 14, 2012/ Nir Schneider

All SSD drives have one thing in common, speed. And lots of it. These little lightweights are the superchargers that will boost whatever OS it is that you are using. That's all sounds very good, but good things do come at a cost, and SSD drives have yet to get off their high horse with ridiculous price points considering the storage capacity they offer in return. ADATA's S511 SSD is the company's flagship drive with promising performance on paper at affordable price tags. We've put the S511 thru the test so be sure to jump past the break for the full review!

February 05, 2012/ Nir Schneider

Back when we first took a look at Thule's $50 Gauntlet rugged and protective sleeve for the MacBook Pro, it lefts us so impressed that we gave it our Editors' Choice award. Since then Thule has come out with the Attache, a more capable carrying case with just the same amount of hard hitting styling Thule oh so loves at a highly protective package. If you thought Thule's MacBook Pro sleeve was awesome, the Attache is a very promising addition to Thule's growing bag collection for portables. Is it a sleeve, a messenger bag or a briefcase? You'd be surprised to find out in the full review past the jump!

Native Union Moshi Moshi Pop Phone Handset Review

January 16, 2012/ Nir Schneider

Native Union's Pop Phone isn't your traditional Bluetooth headset but rather an unexpected wired handset designed by a French designer to look as retro as it can get. The Pop Phone serves one simple purpose, and that is to keep harmful radiation away from your brain. A growing concern that has been around since that beginning really. If you hate the feeling of holding your smartphone against your head for long periods of time, this seems to be the perfect solution for you. How well does the Pop Phone work in practice? More on that after the break!

Moku Desktop Chair Wood Stand for MacBook Air & Pro Review

January 06, 2012/ Nir Schneider

The Japanese sure do love their curves. Moku is a Japanese company that specialises in modern woodcrafting. Bending wood into curvy shapes is what Moku does best. Moku's Desktop Chair will make you think twice about going with the industrial aluminum machined stands that are so readily available and well, are so cold and lifeless to be honest. The Desktop Chair is much more versatile than other stands whilst keeping things simple and as minimal as a piece of white paper. There's more than meets the eye to this compact wood stand though, so jump over the hedge for the full review!
