ASUS Eee PC – $199 Laptop

July 3rd, 2007 by Mohd. Hashim Khan

ASUS Eee PC

A month back ASUS launched a new series of laptop named ASUS Eee PC with much lower price tag of just $199. Being cheap, this laptop doesn’t come with latest Windows Vista OS and all the bells and whistles but it does have all the basic required features. Its technical details are as follows:

- Processor: 900MHz Intel Dothan based Pentium M
- RAM: 512MB DDR2
- Chipset: Intel’s 910 mobile
- 802.11g wireless capability
- HDD: 4GB Flash (8 / 16 GB also available)
- Display Size: 7 inch.
- Connectivity: 10/100 Ethernet
- Battery type: 4 cell
- Weight: 0.89Kg

If you feel 900 MHz is quite low but then think of the small size of the laptop, small size means small battery to feed the power hungry higher clocked processor and less space for heat dissipation. The same reason maybe why a regular laptop hard disk is replaced with an 8GB Flash Disk which should cost the same as a regular 40GB laptop hard disk. There is no optical drive as well and no space for future upgrade as well but an external drive can be easily installed using USB port. There are 4 USB ports in this laptop. With less moving parts inside, this laptop runs quietly and without getting much hot. It comes pre-installed with Linux. This laptop will be able to run Windows Xp well, so those who are interested in this laptop must buy the cheaper $199 model and save $100 for buying an external laptop hard disk with casing.

Pros: Light weight and very portable. Hinge looks very sturdy

Cons: Display could have been little bigger and so the internal disk space.

Best 22inch LCD monitor

LG Flatron LCD monitor

You have spend a lot on your system for best graphics card, more RAM and goodies but what about that monitor at which you have to constantly stare when working on computer ! A typical user today has 17inch monitor which should be ok if you don’t do multitasking. With the coming of dual core processors, people can now easily do two three works at a time on PC for e.g., I often open several applications like photoshop, calculator, and many other window to do work faster but switching to one of these window sometimes becomes a problem due to space shortage. A wide 22inch monitor can do a lot good to your working environment as it will provide enough space for multiple windows and work on each easily. LG Flatron L226WTQ-BF is one of the best available in the market today. Well how can I say that? As you already know the problem with LCD technology was the slow pixel response as compared to CRT which led to blurry images in fast moving games and movie scenes. LG Flatron 22” monitor has a Pixel response time of just 2ms as compared to 5 or even more of others. Hence images are crisp and clear. Colors are also very well reproduced in this monitor. With the price tag of just $350, this is the best buy in 22” LCD monitors range.

Technical Specifications:
• 1680 x 1050 Resolution
• 3,000:1 Contrast Ratio
• Certified for Windows Vista™
• 2ms Ultra-Fast Response Time
• FLATRON f-Engine™
• 300 cd/m2 High Brightness
• DVI Input with HDCP

Price:
$350 Street.

Paintball Gear

May 13th, 2007 by Mohd. Hashim Khan

Paintball is a very active sport, involving a lot of running, diving, crawling and sliding. A paintball marker is the primary piece of equipment used in the game of paintball to tag an opposing player. The majority of paintball markers have four main components: a body, a hopper, a tank, and a barrel. An expanding gas forces a paintball through the barrel at a muzzle velocity of approximately 300ft/s (91m/s). This velocity is sufficient for most paintballs to break upon impact at a distance Oh no not the real guns but a electropneumatic type. These guns can be more understood if you have a air rifle, these have air tanks instead to propel paintballs. Safety is very important so game is played with full paintball gear which can be easily purchased from any paintball store. These include Chest Protector, Knee Pads, gloves, mask etc, sometimes called “poop”, masks are safety devices that players are required to wear. These completely cover not only the eyes, but also the mouth, ears and nostrils of a person
Paintballs, also simply called “paint”, are spherical gelatin capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye. Early paintballs were made of glass and filled with indelible oil-based paint, since they were made for marking trees and cattle, but modern paintballs should easily wash out of most clothing.
All together it can be fun playing paintballs if played under guidance and precations, like using only right and good quality paintball gear. I can see some people maybe thinking it a dangerous game, yes it is but no outdoor is completely safe. A paintball coming from paintball barrels at high speed if hit eyes can cause blindness if no mask (made for this game) was worn. Paintball markers therefore offer complete packages which is a good buy.
If you are a club owner and looking for paintball supplies, then always go for good brand paintball gear which can be little higher in price but these are of better quality, undergo multiple quality test which is important for the safety of players.
Ultimate Paintball sells Tippmann, Spyder, Smart Parts, Dye, Draxxus paintball gear plus many more and top selling guns like – Tippmann A-5, Tippmann 98 Custom, Smart Parts Ion, Spyder Pilot ACS with free shipping.

Digital photo frame

So what you are doing with all those beautiful images from macro photography that I explained you here few days back? I guess most of you must be storing in your hard disk, right? But storing them on your personal computer is not a good idea, why? You won’t be able to show them to all your friends, family members, relatives and the list goes on. To do so you need hard copy (prints) of those images. Okay I am rich and will spent thousands on printing but what next? Probably put the best pics in Frames so that every one can see and say wow. Still bad idea because at the end you will have piles of papers that may be boring to see.
What if I say that you can put all your images in photo frames within seconds after shooting them without burning a whole in your pocket and also without cluttering your walls and tables with bulky photo frames! Sounds interesting? Read on its true… digitalframez.com> has introduced a wonderful way of displaying your digital images without the cost of printing and letting people appreciate your work. Here’s how mine looks like:
