Good but not good enough!
Member Review When first received a v.good impression but after just 2 days, it refused to power up on occasions, so got Dell to come pick it up and when it came back, it was repaired. Got a Centrino P-M 1.6GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 128MB ATi Mobility 9600 Pro Turbo...

SuSE Linux Enterprise 11 vs. openSuSE 11.1
Blog SuSE Linux Enterprise gives the impression of being a more polished version of openSuSE, right from the first installation screen. Using SLED on the HP 2133 continued the impression that I got during the installation.

Moving on - SightSpeed
Blog My first impression of the SightSpeed advertising is that it's a bit intrusive, especially the ones that pop up in the contact window, but it's not unbearable. Overall impression: quite positive. All laid out in the initial screen, with video...

Samsung Q1: a first look review
Reviews The overall impression of the hardware lies somewhere between a small Tablet PC, a large handheld and a bloated Sony PSP (although the screen isn't as gorgeous as the PSP's). Other navigation/interface elements include an 8-way joystick, a four...

First impressions of the Nokia N97
Blog I haven't spent too much time with the N97, so can only give a very sketchy first impression. The widgets on the home screen - the N97's big selling point - work very well. The screen is a bit of an issue.

HP Compaq 2710p review
Reviews The first impression of this notebook is one of stylishness. The top part of the screen bezel can house a webcam, although our review sample did not have one fitted. The same clasp holds both together when the screen is rotated 180 degrees around...

HP 2133 Mini-Note PC review
Reviews Based on our initial impression of the 2133 Mini-Note, which we first saw under wraps several weeks ago, we expected a much more expensive machine. The screen also has a scratch-resistant finish, which was very glossy and susceptible to glare and...

Photo companies focus on wireless
News That's the impression left by Digital Imaging '02, a two-day forum hosted by InfoTrends Research Group. Visioneer, best known for its scanners, was promoting PhotoPort TV, a $99 device that reads images off of a memory card, displays them on a TV...

Dream Linux 3.5 - An Excellent New Release
Blog That is what I did, and I got my first really big, really positive impression from Dream Linux. The essentials are all there - root password, user account disk partition selection, GRUB - in one screen, rather than the three to ten or more that...

Dreamweaver 4 review
Reviews You can also debug client-side JavaScript code and view the results in your browser to give an accurate impression of how the code will actually play. The only other caveat is that unless you use a fairly high screen resolution -- at least 1,280 by...

Premiere 6.5 review
Reviews The former is far too basic to be seriously positioned alongside an NLE of Premiere’s stature, giving the impression that Adobe is treading water until it has something better to offer (perhaps in version 7?

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS review
Reviews Our initial impression of 8.04 is that it has made useful improvements in the overall feel of the system. Screen control is much improved — Canonical hasn't quite got rid of the demonic xorg.conf configuration file which controls screens, keyboards...

NEC Versa T400 review

First impressions of the Nokia N97
Blog Comment As I said above, this is a sketchy first impression, and a device as personal as a mobile phone will always be subject to personal opinion. It has a much better screen and it'll give you access to many more good apps, too.

Nugget: Ericsson WAP phone will take you back to the future
News It is pretty nifty, measuring just 15mm and weighing under 100g, but the R320 is almost too thin, giving the impression that it could imminently be lost down the back of a sofa. The phone has a decent enough screen for visiting WAP and is pretty...
