Here are some of our favourite pieces of technology, and why we love them! If you rightly decide that you can no longer continue your life without one of these, contact us!
Corsair 1GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive :
Why it floats our boat:
1GB of memory! Thats HUGE! A CD and a half, andd roughly the equivalent of 695 floppy disks! You can cram this full of thousands of photos, loads of music, and suddenly its the easiest way to move lots of data around!
Its casing is rubber, so when it drops - it mostly bounces!
Not only is it USB 2.0 and therefore fast, when tested for speed it also comes out top of the crop when compared to other drives with the same technology!
Very bright blue light at the back so you know when something's happening
Instead of using CD-R's all the time, you can now use this, so your house won't be full of CD coasters any more! And this is waaay faster than a CD-RW - not to mention that its only as big as your thumb!
IBM ThinkPad X41:
A traveller's dream come true:
12.1" Screen: that means its footprint is smaller than a sheet of A4!
Full sized keys: the best keyboard on ANY laptop in this class! Makes it genuinely possible to type quickly, for extended periods of time.
There's a little light above the screen that shines down on the keys so you can see them in the dark!
It only weighs 1.2kg! Thats nothing!
At only 2cm thick, its very easy to travel with...
You could not ask for more connectivity; bluetooth, infra-red, wifi, usb, modem, network, pcmcia.... etc etc
Feels good. Looks good. Works good. Won't break your arm when you travel with it.
