On the surface it seems a little risky. The Dell Studio 14Z is the first consumer notebook we’ve seen, with a 14-inch display that does not have an optical drive. Then again, who cares? You can download the software you need straight from the Internet, and you and or stream movies and music online. The DVD-drive is the manner of the disk, and Dell is just a bit before the curve. So assuming you do not need a visual, how good is the $ 749-machine?

If you look at full review, you will see that the studio 14Z combines a sleek design with good graphics performance and powerful batteries. We have our hands on the Best Buy version of this laptop for students who are 15 months of anti-virus and Office Home and Student 2007. Actually, when you think about it, the studio 14Z stacks up very well against the $ 999 MacBook.

For $ 250 less than Apple’s lowest cost machine, you get the same Nvidia 9400M graphics and a bigger screen and almost 5.5 hours of battery life. And the studio 14Z weighs less than the MacBook (4.4 pounds compared to 5 pounds). How do you see in our review, the studio 14Z has some shortcomings, but overall it’s a winner.

If our review of the Toshiba Port R600 this week trying to enter the ultra portable range, but you prefer an extra shot of WiMAX goodness, then you will want to head to Japan to undertakings for the latest wireless integrated model.

The input is a skill that is almost a prerequisite to the daily life in those days. But I am surprised at the number of people I know, the old “hunt and peck” method. They think that after working with a computer for so long, would finally give up and learn to do it properly. Now there is a keyboard, designed specifically for those stubborn people who aptly-named Hunt and Peck keyboard.

At first this keyboard seems like everyone else, until you realize that the keys are in alphabetical order. This is to make it easier for those who never learn the QWERTY layout. You can press a button and it switches to the standard layout, so that any normal person can actually have a kind of real speed. To add further insult, you can use the F-keys for quick abbreviations such as LOL, IMO and ASAP. If you are thinking of buying this for someone that the $ 30 and go find a copy of Mario Teaches Typing or so. It seemed to work wonders for me back in the 6th Class.

Surge protectors are usually something that all of us have on our home computer, but leaves behind when traveling. Mostly because even the travel opportunities are great and pain for use with notebooks. TRC seemed to have solved that problem with the ElectraShield.

This little guy is in-line on the power supply and protects the computer from voltage spikes attached, brown-outs and power spikes. Who knows how well it works, but I think it is probably in the “it’s-better-than-nothing” category. At $ 9.99 and in both two-and three-pin, travelers want to pick up in May, just in case.
