read a clip from review:
Despite fact that design of Acer Gemstone notebook series proved to
be successful, some users didn’t like light colored areas around
keyboard and screen. Acer listened to users’ feedback so new series
of Acer notebooks can be found with black and dark-gray color
combinations. First of those that came in our test lab is Acer Aspire
5530G-702G32Mi model. Although at first glance is seems that only
difference is in color but it will be proven that it is not that
simple&

NEW CONTENT (Miscellaneous) - Microsoft SideWinder X6 Gaming Keyboard
QUOTE: “Rocking up with the previously reviewed SideWinder X5 mouse, I was lucky enough to receive an X6 keyboard to complete the desktop of evil. This keyboard boasts a full backlight and letter illumination with a built-in dial to adjust the intensity.
The coupe de grace, however, comes with the hot swappable numeric keypad module that can be changed up, left or right depending on your preference, or if you want to add more macros to the left hand side.”

| NVIDIA GeForce 9300 Launch Roundup |
 |
Author: Benjamin Sun Date: 10-16-2008
In terms of overall graphics performance, the GeForce 9300 is in a class by itself on the Intel side of things. While the G45 struggles to maintain any kind of playable frame rates in the games that I tried and crashed 3DMark Vantage altogether, the GeForce 9300 was able to finish the test and have decent frame rates throughout. The GeForce 9300 chipset is 20% faster than the Intel G45 chipset across the board. By this performance metric, it is likely that the faster 9400 boards will outstrip the G45 chipset by 35% or more across the board. This is a very impressive feat for an integrated graphics card to say the least. Had the GeForce 9300 and 9400 come out when the G45 launched, Intel might have had a real problem. Intel is rumored to have a new CPU coming out for the high-end and we’ll see how that translates with integrated graphics at that time.

Title: Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 PC-Game Review on Technic3D
Link: http://www.technic3d.com/article-755,1-pro-evolution-soccer-2009-weiterhin-genre-chef.htm
Quote: “Pro Evolution Soccer 09 PC Game from Konami arrived Technic3D. New Look, New Content and Same Passion! Pro Evolution Soccer is back for 2009. The terms PES and Winning Eleven have always been synonymous with realism and superior gameplay, but this year PES will further narrow the gap between the game, and the real thing! New stadiums, player motions and gameplay modes will bolster a game already focused on providing the most exciting soccer experience next to actually being on the field.. Better than the 08 and Fifa09 version? See you in the following Review.”

Lenovo’s IdeaPad S10 is a 10″ Netbook that sports low power consumption, ultra-portability, respectable performance and a well rounded feature set. It’s built on Intel’s new low-power Atom processor. Taking on such challengers as Asus’ Eee PC and the MSI Wind, Lenovo offers this svelte machine for a modest $399 entry price point. While the S10’s keyboard is a little cramped for a 10″ netbook, we liked the machine’s, build quality, fit and finish, and super-crisp LCD. Come on by the site and check it out!

Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull DVD & Blu-Ray Review @ Ascully.com
Quote
“I will say that the first time I watched it I was slightly disappointed. I can’t put my finger on why, maybe I was hoping for a revisit to my favorite, Raiders of the Lost Ark with Marion and the groovy style that one brought to the series. When we were getting ready to watch it again I let go of those expectations and to be honest, it was so much better. I enjoyed it, even with the occasional crappy CGI and missing quieter moments. The story felt better the second time, the motorcycle riding kid fit in better, and when it was over I was finally satisfied with how things wrapped up”

Title: Biostar 512MB 9500GT Review at Overclockers Online
Link: http://www.overclockersonline.net/index.php?page=articles&num=2052
Quote: With the card itself, I was a little let down by the fact that the
card only had 1 DVI output and when I realized Biostar didn’t take full
advantage of the 900MHz capable memory chips. However, there’s a silver
lining in the grey clouds. While I didn’t have success in overclocking, your
results may differ as there’s plenty of potential headroom to be had. As
well, once you find out that this card retails in the 70 dollar range, you
suddenly realize all the potential it holds. It’s for the budget conscious
and it’s a great budget upgrade for an older PC. When paired with a 19″ LCD
monitor at 1280×1024, you can still play some of the newer titles on the
market. It may not provide the fastest framerates, but it’ll do.
