DIY Plywood Laptopcase!

plywood-laptop-case

Here’s a DIY Plywood laptop case that might hide your laptop in a discreet way so burglars won’t even think there’s a laptop inside it.  Of course, I’d probably stick with regular ol’ foam and textile laptop bag but if you have carpenter skills, I don’t see why not you can’t make one of these for your home or even for brief travels to the office.

The laptop case is formed from two bend panels of plywood which slide along one another to encase the laptop computer.The case is lined with cork to provide addit

Toshiba Tecra R10 Review

r10-5

Toshiba rolls out the Tecra R10 along with the other Portege A600 (read the review).  What I like most about this R10 laptop without even looking at specs is how large the cooling metal fins are on the side of the laptop.

One of the biggest problems with bigger, performance laptops in the past have been problems with CPU cooling.  With great advances in CPU technology, manufacturers usually put a CPU fan that will last just over a year, causing the laptop to bre

Toshiba Portege A600 Review

a600-5

Toshiba rolls out a new 12.1″ widescreen laptop loaded with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SU9300, 3GB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz SDRAM, 160GB HDD, DVD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, and webcam.

Toshiba’s new Portege A600 will allow you to watch HD movies except there’s one important thing missing, there’s no DVI outputs for connecting to your HDTV.  If that’s something you don’t care about, this is a great laptop but still, I’d have to say the pricing is a little bit higher than it’

Compaq Presario CQ50Z Review

compaq-presario-cq50z

For power users who need a new laptop every year, spending $2000 annually will not be a great way to budget your money.  Instead, I highly suggest to get a modest laptop equipped with the latest CPU processors.

Now, one of the laptops that come to my mind is the Compaq Presario CQ50Z.  Ever since HP has acquired Compaq, they have continually rolled out great, affordable laptop for your average regular joe.

Don’t get me wrong though, if you don’t own a desktop, these low-priced laptops might not be for you but if you are only us
