The common cure for the not so common gamer. This notebook is packed with all the goodies you need to enjoy HD gaming right out of the box.

With a 7-inch screen, the laptop weighs 2 pounds and measures 8.86 inches wide by 6.3 inches deep by a little less than an inch thick at it’s thinnest. To put it in perspective, the Eee PC is about the size of your typical paperback book. ]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/24/asus-eee-pc-easy-to-learn-work-or-play/feed/ 2 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/13/sony-vaio-cr390eer-laptop-computer-expert-review/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sony-vaio-cr390eer-laptop-computer-expert-review http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/13/sony-vaio-cr390eer-laptop-computer-expert-review/#comments Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:45:56 +0000 Desmond http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/13/sony-vaio-cr390eer-laptop-computer-expert-review/ Since all (alright, most) laptops look the same, there's something to be said for an attractive notebook that's still affordably priced.

I know there are many out there who are probably experiencing the same issue, so I decided to do a little research on the subject and came across an interesting article directly addressing this issue.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/08/fact-or-fiction-leaving-your-laptop-plugged-in-all-the-time-will-harm-your-battery/feed/ 27 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/08/logitech-g51-surround-sound-speaker-system-breathe-life-into-your-games-and-movies/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=logitech-g51-surround-sound-speaker-system-breathe-life-into-your-games-and-movies http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/08/logitech-g51-surround-sound-speaker-system-breathe-life-into-your-games-and-movies/#comments Fri, 08 Feb 2008 20:55:18 +0000 Desmond http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/08/logitech-g51-surround-sound-speaker-system-breathe-life-into-your-games-and-movies/ Any gamer will tell you just how important audio is in relevance to gaming. I mean what’s the point of having that large HDTV display without the “thump” to accompany it, right? Well, there is no reason to lack the “oomph” in your living room anymore; not if you've got the Logitech G51 Surround Sound Speaker System.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/08/logitech-g51-surround-sound-speaker-system-breathe-life-into-your-games-and-movies/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/05/picking-out-the-perfect-notebook-pc/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=picking-out-the-perfect-notebook-pc http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/05/picking-out-the-perfect-notebook-pc/#comments Tue, 05 Feb 2008 21:00:47 +0000 Desmond http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/05/picking-out-the-perfect-notebook-pc/ When you consider purchasing a notebook, you should take into consideration the single most important reason for a laptop: portability. We use notebooks because they can go anywhere you do with ease. If travel is a frequent part of your work schedule, you need a notebook. If you're a student who makes multiple commutes to and from your University, you need a notebook. I look at a notebook as an essential item in today’s fast-paced mobile world. And there's no need to worry about losing desktop performance, as today’s notebooks can be as powerful as most desktops with dual-core processors, large hard drives, DVD burners, etc. So now the question is: which one is right for you? ]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/05/picking-out-the-perfect-notebook-pc/feed/ 1 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/04/40-hours-of-power-silicon-nanowires-yield-higher-battery-capacity/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=40-hours-of-power-silicon-nanowires-yield-higher-battery-capacity http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/04/40-hours-of-power-silicon-nanowires-yield-higher-battery-capacity/#comments Mon, 04 Feb 2008 16:00:25 +0000 Desmond http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/04/40-hours-of-power-silicon-nanowires-yield-higher-battery-capacity/ It keeps going, and going, and going. You were probably thinking about the Energizer bunny commercial, weren’t you? Well, most of the time you’d be right in that assumption, but not today. Picture if you will, the ability to fly from New York to Tokyo – do some number crunching, work on PowerPoint presentations, watch a few DVDs -- and then do a full day of meetings-- using your laptop throughout the day and into the night without ever plugging in your power adapter to recharge your battery. Sounds far-fetched right? But this scenario may actually become a reality in the near future. ]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/04/40-hours-of-power-silicon-nanowires-yield-higher-battery-capacity/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/01/hp-pavilion-dv2470se-notebook-pc/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hp-pavilion-dv2470se-notebook-pc http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/01/hp-pavilion-dv2470se-notebook-pc/#comments Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:00:08 +0000 Desmond http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/01/hp-pavilion-dv2470se-notebook-pc/ Have you ever thought your notebook was just too plain? Well, HP’s Pavilion dv2740se Notebook PC might be just what you are looking for. This two-tone (bronze/black) notebook is very easy on the eyes. The Verve Imprint Finish, featured on the HP Pavilion dv2740se Notebook PC, adds a layer of designer sophistication that is sure to leave its mark. With the HP Pavilion dv2470se Notebook PC you can be sure to turn heads with its high-quality exterior casing, decorated with a striking filigree flower pattern.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/01/hp-pavilion-dv2470se-notebook-pc/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/31/toshiba-satellite-u305-s2812-notebook-pc-vs-macbook-air/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=toshiba-satellite-u305-s2812-notebook-pc-vs-macbook-air http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/31/toshiba-satellite-u305-s2812-notebook-pc-vs-macbook-air/#comments Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:00:54 +0000 Desmond http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/31/toshiba-satellite-u305-s2812-notebook-pc-vs-macbook-air/ When it comes to thin and light notebooks, Apple’s MacBook Air has been the talk of the town. Yes it’s extremely thin and weighs in at 3.0 pounds but these specs aren’t the only defining point to a notebook. You have to look at the hardware under the hood, which if you ask me, is pretty lacking for the price. So I began to search for other thin and light notebook options and came across the Toshiba Satellite U305-S2812 Notebook PC. If we compare these two notebooks spec for spec, the overall advantage easily goes to the Toshiba Satellite U305-S2812 Notebook PC.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/31/toshiba-satellite-u305-s2812-notebook-pc-vs-macbook-air/feed/ 3 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/23/multi-core-memory-through-parallel-access-to-memory-chip-bit-cells/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=multi-core-memory-through-parallel-access-to-memory-chip-bit-cells http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/23/multi-core-memory-through-parallel-access-to-memory-chip-bit-cells/#comments Wed, 23 Jan 2008 23:00:57 +0000 Desmond http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/01/23/multi-core-memory-through-parallel-access-to-memory-chip-bit-cells/ Muti-core CPU?
