Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 review
Reviews When closed it looks more like a slim briefcase than a portable computer, thanks to its hard outer shell and built-in carrying handle. The shell comprises a lid section made mostly of magnesium alloy with a black plastic section towards the top...

Stowaway Universal Bluetooth Keyboard review
Reviews To open the keyboard you first prise the handheld stand away from the outer shell, then release a catch on the left edge. Although the outer shell is pretty tough, the keyboard comes with a zip-up case that provides an extra level of protection.

Lexmark C762n review
Reviews Its two-tone grey-plastic shell bulges slightly across the front and the top, with the control panel at the crest. A few flaps on the printer's shell are for adding paper-handling options such as the sorter stapler.

Acer DX900 review
Reviews The shell is made from black plastic with rubbery finish everywhere bar the screen surround, which is shiny. The DX900 has a version of SPB Mobile Shell, which you can run on top of the Windows Mobile user interface.

Samsung Solid review
Reviews With that in mind, the Solid is not, in fact, the chunkiest of mobile phones, although its rubbery outer shell is distinctive. This is not moulded into the rubber shell but is a separate button. The company has recently produced its first rugged...

Exchange Server 2007 Beta 2 review
Reviews Servers also need IIS, the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), version 2.0 of the .NET Framework and the new Microsoft Command Shell (previously called Monad), although these can all be installed by the setup program if found lacking.

Toshiba Portégé A600-122 review
Reviews It has a silver outer shell and, inside, a silver keyboard area and black screen surround. Design The Portégé A600 is a 12.1in.ultraportable weighing 1.46kg. As far as aesthetics go, it’s workmanlike rather than exciting.

Acer X960 review
Reviews Its outer shell is a mix of black and silver plastic with a shiny, fingerprint-attracting, finish. Acer's three-screen interface shell is designed to resemble an office desk. The Acer X960 is a fairly standard-looking Windows Mobile handheld.

Samsung R510 review
Reviews The outer shell has a shiny piano-black finish; inside, the black is repeated on the keyboard surround, slowly transitioning to a blood-red colour at the front. Design The R510 is not your average business notebook.

Dell Latitude E6500 review
Reviews The E6500's almost entirely black shell is metallic silver around the hinge, with a small Dell logo picked out in silver on the lid. Design The look and feel is suitably discreet and professional. The magnesium alloy casing feels very solid around...

Apple iPod Mini review
Reviews Its stylish, anodised-aluminium shell is so tough that we felt as if we could stand on the device without consequence. Design Although it scarcely seems possible, we think the iPod Mini's design surpasses even that of its photogenic older sibling.

Sony VAIO VGN-BZ11MN review
Reviews The mostly black outer shell is rescued from blandness by the VAIO branding, which stands out in reflective silver on the lid; a row of backlit status icons along the front long edge add another splash of colour.

Sony VAIO VGN-TT11WN/B review
Reviews However, where the Z-series' mostly black shell was tastefully highlighted with a silver VAIO logo on the lid, the TT is peppered with slivery bits — including the cylindrical hinges, the left and right edges and, inside, the mouse buttons.

Windows Services for Unix 3.5 review
Reviews They don’t have QuickEdit mode enabled by default, so if you want more Unix-like copy and paste operations, you’ll need to alter the program properties for each shell or command-line application you use.

Compaq Evo N150c review
Reviews Modem and Ethernet connections are also built-in, so you won't have to shell out separately for connectivity. For your money you get a 800MHz Mobile Pentium III processor, 128MB of RAM, a 14.1in. TFT display, a 15GB hard drive and a DVD-ROM drive.

Inside Exchange Server 2007 review
Reviews Anything you can do from the graphical interface can also be scripted via the new the command-line Exchange Management Shell (EMS). Exchange Server 2007 features a new secure role-based architecture like that in Windows Server 2003.

Exchange 2010 beta: screenshots review
Reviews The Exchange 2010 installation shell. We installed the beta on Windows Server 2008. The setup splash screen shows the two big dependencies of Exchange 2010: .NET Framework 3.5 and PowerShell v2. If you do not have them installed, the links will...

GETAC B300 review
Reviews The toughened shell means that the B300 measures a portly 6cm thick. This is a sizeable and very solidly built system. You'd expect a normal 13.3in.notebook to be relatively lightweight, but the GETAC B300 comes in at 3.5kg.

Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro: a first look review
Reviews Rather than using an existing Nikon body, the S3 opts for a custom single-piece polycarbonate shell, which should make the camera a bit more rugged and weather-resistant than a traditional model. A long-awaited successor to the FinePix S2 Pro...
