Panasonic cf-u1

If you're considering a Panasonic Toughbook, it's likely that your priorities are relatively different from that of the average consumer. Rugged laptops are designed to meet the adverse conditions that people in the military, construction, and various outdoor professions may face—and come through unscathed. That said, a laptop still needs to have some basic elements in order to ensure a decent user experience. Although the Panasonic CF-U1 ($2,500 street) has some neat features—like hot-swappable twin batteries and options for GPS, 3G mobile broadband, and extensions like fingerprint readers and bar code scanners—its basic usability is lacking. The CF-U1's screen is tiny, its keyboard is nearly impossible to type on, and the labsence of any sort of navigational aid (like a touchpad or pointing stick) for its otherwise finicky screen make this pricey tablet extremely difficult to use, let alone recommend.

KIDS MOUSE DISNEY KEY



Lure your little one to the computer with the child-friendly KidzMouse disney Keys keyboard. It's narrower than a standard keyboard, as the function keys, the number pad, and several other less-important keys have been removed. The keys themselves are full-size, and they're color-coded to help young typists distinguish different areas. Best of all, most keys—except the Hyphen, Enter, Space, and Arrow keys—won't repeat if held down for long, so that kids don't accidentally type a long string of letters. The keyboard has a USB plug and comes with a PS/2 adapter.

SMOOTH CREATION NEPTUNE MACHINE

So then, Smooth Creations really doesn't need an introduction as we've looked at their handiwork before. For the uninitiated, SmoothCreations do custom systems with custom paint. They also do laptops and peripherals, but we're here to take a look at one of their majestic custom built systems.
The last machine we looked at from SmoothCreations was the munchies-inducing VW Bus case. That machine was impressive in its own right, if not for the sheer performance then for fact that it actually looked like a Volkswagen Bus. But, it also had a few shortcomings. So, they sent us another one, something quite a bit different.
Did they recant? Did they change their ways? Nope.
This time, they are not messing around. No, this machine came with a liquid cooled Core i7 965 overclocked to 4GHz, a pair of waterblocked BFG GeForce GTX 280 cards in SLI, almost 2 terabytes of storage, and a whopping 12GB of DDR3-1600 memory configuration, all dressed up in a modded and custom painted case.
