Lenovo ThinkPad Z60t Reviews

The first ThinkPads to feature widescreen LCDs, the Z series from Lenovo moves away from their strictly business styling for notebooks. The Z60t is a thin and light model in the range, and weighs a little less than 2 kg. Featuring a 14-inch widescreen LCD, the Z60t comes with an option of covers— black or titanium. The titanium special-edition cover provides added durability and a scratch-resistant finish. Powered by an Intel Pentium M 760J processor running at 2 GHz on a 915GM chipset and complemented by 512MB of DDR2 memory, the Z60t runs most standard applications with ease. An 80 GB 5400 rpm SATA hard drive provides ample storage space. Other features include an integrated DVD-RAM drive, keyboard light and SD card reader. Connectivity options include gigabit LAN, a 56K modem, Wi-Fi, Infrared and Bluetooth. Available ports include 3 x USB, FireWire, PC card slot, VGA, S-Video and audio jacks. The full-sized keyboard features new multimedia keys, along with touchpad and pointing stick options for pointer control. Security and protection features include a biometric fingerprint reader and Active Protection System for protecting data. The Z60t comes with Windows XP Professional with applications such as Rescue & Recovery, Client Security Solution, and ThinkVantage Productivity Center preloaded. You also receive a three-year global warranty. The laptop scored 21.3 in Business Winstone and 3,437 in PCMark 2004, which are above average; this means day-to-day applications will run faster. Battery life is over two hours
with DVD playback. This laptop is, overall, a very decent performer: with great looks, useful features and a host of security options, the Lenovo Z60t is worth the money

Mercury HT 5800R Home Theatre 5.1 Channel System Reviews

Though this 5.1 channel system has a 5,800 watts PMPO, it has only 25 watts RMS for the satel-lites and 50 watts RMS for the subwoofer. The RMS power gives you an idea about the actual sound output that the system can achieve without distortion, whereas the PM PO output indicates the maximum out-put achievable by the system, albeit with distortions. The wires are long enough,and speaker stands and wall mountings are provided as well. One shortcoming is the ridiculously short power sup-ply wire. The system provides good performance and at Rs 7,000, it offers good value for money. The subwoofer is quite powerful and you can crank up the volume with-out experiencing too much distortion. If you’re looking to own a 5.1 speaker sys-tem, but are constrained by your budget, the Mercury HT 5800R offers a decent enough solution. How- ever, if you cannot settle for anything less than perfectsound, give this one a miss... SPECIFICATIONS : Four satellites at 25 W RMS, one subwoofer at 50 W RMS, w...

Mercury HT-4500 Reviews

The HT-4500 is a 5.1-chan-nel speaker set and each of the five satellites pumps out 6 watts RMS, while the subwoofer is capable of 20 W RMS power output. The black satellite speakers are compact and subwoofer. Also, the cable for the front channel speakers isn’t long enough for the speakers to be placed suffi-ciently far apart. The cable connecting the woofer to the soundcard is of the same colour, which can cause some confusion. The speakers give a good surround sound effect with reasonable clarity for a good home theatre experience and can also be connected directly to a DVD player. The performance in the low and mid frequencies is also good. However, the speakers are not built to listen at full well-designed, though a tad heavy. The subwoofer has the volume and fade controls on the front, which makes it dif-ficult to access these settings, as subwoofers are generally placed near the feet, with the front face ideally facing a reflecting surface. Another inconvenience is the power swi...

Che-ez Spyz Digital Camera Reviews

Spyz is slightly larger than a matchbox and comes in sil-ver and metallic blue. It bun-dles a dog tag and an USB cable, but oddly, misses the battery. The software bundle comprises the Che-ez manag-er, Arcsoft Photo Studio 2000 and the driver CD. The manual explains fea-tures such as sound beeps, LED and LCD displays very neatly. The device can take up to 26 photos in the high-resolution mode of 640 x 480 pixels, and 107 photos in the low resolu-tion mode of 320 x 240 pixels. Other features include a timer and continuous capture that turns the camera into a cam-corder. The Che-ez Manager also lets you convert frames into a movie in AVI format. The Spyz can also act as a Web camera when used with the Che-ez Manager or MS Netmeeting. However, some-times the manager does not recognise shortcut keys such as the [Alt] + [F4] combination for closing the program. The interface is also very basic and below par. The price tag may justify all the features of the Spyz, but the management software...
