Asus isn't only about the Eee – the B80A notebook

It seems Asus is a little bogged-down with their association with budget UMPC's. Last week saw the launch of the Bamboo notebook and the announcement of the Eee Top touchscreen PC, and now we've been told their dedication to netbooks with a screen size smaller than 10-inches is over. This week sees the unveiling of…

Eco friendly computing: Keep it green with the Lawn PC

This is one patch of grass you'll definitely need to keep off of. Despite what it may look like this isn't a computer/allotment with a real patch of grass sprouting out the top.

We've also got SingStar and other singing related video games - but they're not quite karaoke are they? Nights in have become the norm for those seriously affected…

The Eee Top offers computing at your fingertips

The Eee pc which spawned a generation of little low cost, no frills laptops has just added a desktop addition to its Eee PC range - the Eee Top. First things first, it's a 15.6-inch touchscreen - that's 15.6-inches of touchscreen goodness - so if using a mouse is all a bit irritable, or using…

Asus S101 is luxury netbooking at its finest

The Asus S101 is so good looking it had Susi dribbling at the mouth (so much so she caused a temporary computer glitch) but her computer's back up and running now and she's back to normality. So perhaps I should warn her I have further Asus S101 details that could be potentially hazardous to her…

Got wood? Bamboo notebook from Asus has plenty

The Bamboo notebook is seriously green. Not only is it encased entirely in artisan-grade Bamboo panelling, but "it's truly green throughout every phase of its life".

Shiny at IFA 2008: Room-sized Speakers from Swan

In the above video Dan is awed by a set of *massive* speakers from Swan. One is the size of a wardrobe. You can only buy them as a set, and each one its own costs in the region of £20k, but they make poor Dan look like a dwarf. Imagine the volume you'd get…
