A VIAble alternative

The ‘V’ in stands for VIA. This laptop is a steal for those who long for a laptop but cannot afford one. At a mere 30,000, (taxes extra and if you shell out a couple of hundreds more, you’ll get a leather carry-case) it is a decent buy for those who are not into any [...]

Hot shots

The CX7300 is a 3.2 mega pixel camera-extremely simple to use for someone who does not know the ABCs of photogra phy. The ca mera is comfortable to hold­shaped like the Sony Cybershot series with the left panel curved to allow your hand to grip it better. All the buttons are within thumb’s reach. As [...]

Maximum drive

Anodized Aluminum-that’s what the Maxtor One Touch external hard drive is made of. This particular Maxtor One Touch device has 300 GB of storage space! It is extremely easy to set up and get going, and has the extra advantage of being placed vertically with the help of a plastic stand. Unfortunately, the stand does [...]

Seagate external drive – The Verdict

This hard drive runs at a speed of 7,200 rpm and its average access time as per SiSoft Sandra was only 6 milliseconds! Even the 580 MB of information we transferred to the drive took little over half a minute. Bounce Back Express is very easy to use as its entire interface is rather Spartan; [...]

Xerox – The Verdict

It took a cool 30 seconds though, to warm up before its first printout and after that it took approximately 40 seconds to print 10 sheets of text in draft quality. For documents which have fine print, the ‘Darker Text’ option proved to be quite helpful, making that text more legible. This printer is a [...]

Xerox Phaser 3120

The Phaser 3120 is a lot like the 3130 featured last month in our ‘Top Gear’ section. The difference is in the memory size which at 8 MB is less than in the 3130. Besides, it only supports USB 1.1 while the 3130 supports 2.0. The 3120 also offers a lower resolution printout- 600×600 dpi. [...]

Canon Laser Shot The Verdict

As the number of pages on the plastic output tray (which by the way, is at an angle and longer than necessary) increases, it does not allow the papers to stack up comfortably. Besides this, there isn’t much to complain about-its performance is quite faultless-it doesn’t take much time to warm up for its first [...]

Shot in the dark

The Canon Laser Shot LBP 3200 looked nice and compact when it arrived. But as expected, it came along with trays that needed to be attached to it. It is simple to set up, no doubt, but some of us would just like to hook the printer up quickly and start printing! The Quick Start [...]
