Today more companies are using social networks as sales support than ever before. Online commerce is evolving at a rapid pace and it is common to find deals, discounts for a limited time and all kinds of products in our <em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">timelines</em>. However, from the perspective of large companies and SMEs, a good presence in networks can be vital for the future of their businesses.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Following are the five simple tips that you can use to sell more through social networks:</div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1. Make the Most of the Product and Innovation</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If the product is good, it will sell by itself. But if accompanied by a shopping experience different and original, product can reach more users. Not all are discounts and offers, it is important to understand the product, its strengths. This will help in deciding which products belong in networks and which not.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It is also important to know the best practices of competition (known as <em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘benchmarking’</em> ) to improve our strategy and add value.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Internet Evolves, Business to User Also</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Using social networking as a sales channel means being a day on them and their changes. But not only visual changes as the interface, features, etc., but also in the concepts that comprise the network. One of the most important is the reciprocal (or <em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">feedback</em> ), i.e. the business-user relationship.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Internet is conversation. Therefore it is important to listen to customers, talk and take account of their ratings (whether positive or not). Also keep in mind that the relationship with its consumer brand does not necessarily end after the sale, so a good treatment later could produce a ‘buzz’ resulting in the much sought virality.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Identify Your Target Audience</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Having defined the strategy for selling through networks (in the case of a large company, this tactic should be aligned with the overall strategy), it is essential to identify what audience we must lead.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This will help target each platform with each audience with a focused message properly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4. The Importance of Community</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There are thousands of virtual communities. They are native in the network and are of all kinds. The product itself is considered a factor in the purchasing decision of a user. It is important to offer a positive image of the brand. This positive image can be achieved, for example, through effective customer service.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A quick and effective solution to a problem posed by a client helps minimize the negative comments that any brand generates.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Patience</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.15625px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The <em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">social commerce</em> takes time and patience to be productive. Each step must be measured and monitored. The monitoring of behavior of public (what interests them, how they behave …) is one of the actions that cannot stop running.</div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">
Within 20 minutes of opening the package containing the Samsung ML-2165W, we were printing complicated legal documents that would hold up in any court. It's one of the best portable inkjet printers to come through our office.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">
<img align="left" alt="" height="163" src="http://www.toptenreviews.com/i/rev/misc/articles/7176/review-of-the-s-1.jpg" width="250" />The package comes with instructions, a user guide and a CD with the user manual and drivers. However, we didn't use any of it. We simply plugged the printer into a power source, then into the USB terminal of our test computer. The computer detected the printer automatically and downloaded the necessary drivers. We loaded the tray with paper and started printing. This Samsung printer is plug-and-play at its very best.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">
The Wi-Fi component of the printer is a bit more complicated than the USB option. Upon powering up the device, a new option appeared in our Wi-Fi network options labeled "Portthru." You do have to set up the printer through the normal procedures, making sure your computer recognizes the new hardware, but that only takes a few seconds. Once we did that, we were pleased to find that this printer is its own Wi-Fi island, with no need to connect it to an existing wireless network.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">
</div>
Samsung provides free apps for iOS, Android and Windows 7 devices that allow you to print photos and documents directly from your device. However, these are more complicated than the simply plug-and-play connection to the computer, and in our testing we were unable to get a document to print successfully.<br />
This Samsung printer is small and portable. This is a double-edged sword because the load and print tray are less than a foot from each other. While putting the printer through its paces, we had to baby sit the whole process because if the print tray got too full, printed pages would fall out of the tray and onto the floor. One of the documents we printed was a 70-page legal document. Had we left the printer for a moment to get a cup of coffee, we would have come back to a mess of papers all over the test lab. When you're dealing with large, complicated projects, you don't want a printer than can disrupt the page order of documents.<br />
<img align="right" alt="" height="202" src="http://www.toptenreviews.com/i/rev/misc/articles/7176/review-of-the-s-2.jpg" width="250" /><br />
<div id="picad_div" style="cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: absolute; text-shadow: none; z-index: 9000;">
<div id="picad_overlay_div" style="color: white; cursor: pointer; font-family: Arial, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden !important; padding: 0px; position: relative; width: 0px;">
<div id="picad_overlay_holder" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden !important; padding: 0px;">
</div>
</div>
</div>
For a printer this size, the load tray is surprisingly large. However, it becomes another baby-sitting issue if you're printing documents with high page counts. If the tray runs out of paper and you're not present to immediately replenish its supply, it can turn into a real hassle.<br />
In truth, we spent most of our printing job pulling pages off the print tray before it got too full and making sure the load tray was full so running out of paper didn't interrupt the process.<br />
At the end of our analysis, we believe that the Samsung ML-2165W is a good portable printer. It's best used for smaller jobs with low page counts. If you routinely print anything beyond 20 pages, consider buying a machine with a larger print tray.<br />

We’ve got the M401dn in the labs and this variant is intended for SMBs and enterprise solutions. Let’s have a look what it’s all about. </span><br />

This printer has a weight of 10.6 kgs and its best kept in a sturdy, well ventilated dust free area as you’re not going to be moving it too much. It’s got a built to last feel with sturdy flaps that snap on with a reassuring click. It’s an office printer that doesn’t disappoint in the looks department. </div>

<div style="outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
This mono laser printer is powered by an 800 MHz processor. We’re starting off with this because this printer comes with a unique feature – it supports business apps. These apps are small modules and snippets that allow you to print unique tasks at pre-scheduled times. So, for example, you want the printer to download a certain set of stock quotes or news or even comics at specific time intervals, you simply connect it via the network and assign the tasks from your computer, the printer will do the rest. It also has HP’s ePrint capabilities – you can print from anywhere with a Web connection by sending an email to your printer's email address. Once you connect, the HP ePrint centre site allows you to manage your printer. You can also select a host of free consumer and business applications. The ePrintcentre detects the printer you have connected and recommends apps to you accordingly. </div>

<div style="outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The USB walk up allows you to print PDFs and other documents and images via the printer's USB port. You can connect pen drives upto 16GB with FAT32 support; portable hard drives are not supported. You can also preview an image file before you print it on the screen - important if you have a large amount of data on your pen drive.</div>
<div style="outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
With HP’s Smart Install, if you plug in the printer to a windows machine via USB the drivers get automatically installed as they’re in the printer itself. If it’s connected via the network, you need to type in the IP address - it gives you a website and you can simply click on the link and download the network drivers. The printer also has an Instant On feature that lets you print documents with little to no waiting time. The 3.5-inch touch screen gives you the essential information to set up HP’s web services, toggle a set of features and view diagnostic and error information. It’s a resistive one, but gets the work done. </div>

The Pavilion dm4 has a lot going for it in the looks and ergonomics department. While the lid and the palmrest have a metal finish, its bezel is made of glossy cheap plastic. Even though this is pretty much a full sized laptop, its weight is quite low – just 1.97 kg. Not bad at all.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The HP Pavilion dm4 houses a Sandy bridge processor, a generation older than the latest Ivy. In the PC Mark Vantage test, the Pavilion dm4 scored 6991 while the Sony Vaio E-series (Sandy Bridge) scored a slightly higher 7,039. The dm4 fights back in PC Mark 7 with a score of24,66, while the Sony clocked 2219.The is that despite sporting an older processor, the dm4 is by no means sluggish, giving latest laptops in its price range.</div>

The dm4’s AMD Radeon 7470M graphics with a 3D Mark6 score of 5,643 clearly points to mid-range performance. This was verified by the 3D Mark 11 Entry mode test itself – HP scored 1135 while the Vaio scored 1881. Good, not great.</div>

In our stressful battery benchmark test, this HP laptop’s battery lasted 190 minutes on single charge. In standard real world usage, this should be able to last around 4.5 hours without any issues at all.</div>

Despite being on Sandy Bridge, the overall performance of the laptop is actually quite good. But the real cherry on the cake is its very good battery life, considering it isn’t an ultrabook. The light¬weight build is a bonus. Consider this if you aren’t craving only the latest hardware.</div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
Till now, the Dell XPS 13 ultrabook had, by far, been the perfect all rounder – with excellent looks, a very premium finish and impressive performance scores. However, the new kid on the block, the XPS 14, is looking to take over that mantle. Can it do that? From what we have seen, it surely does!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Build & Design</b><br />We were more than impressed (and considerably surprised, admittedly) with the Dell XPS 13 (read our review). The efforts Dell put in on making that ultrabook are more than acknowledged and appreciated. Even more surprising was the fact that the desired effect was achieved with possibly the most humble and minimalist ultrabook. Quite expected then, that the next generation from the same line of ultrabooks, would follow the same path.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: center;">
<a class="highslide" href="http://www.thinkdigit.com/FCKeditor/uploads/Dell-XPS-14-800px-8.jpg" style="color: #0072c2; font-family: georgia; line-height: 14px; outline: none; text-align: left;"><img alt="" height="245" src="http://www.thinkdigit.com/FCKeditor/uploads/Dell-XPS-14-800px-8.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(222, 222, 222); cursor: url(http://www.thinkdigit.com/highslide/graphics/zoomin.cur), pointer !important;" width="522" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
The XPS 14, right out of the box, looks like one solid slab of aluminum, with a very matter to fact look. That however, doesn’t take away the fact that a lot of exotic materials have been slapped on to this ultrabook, to give it the real high-end feel. Gone is the carbon fibre that was quite predominant on the chassis of the XPS 13, and has been replaced with the triple team of aluminum, magnesium and silicon. The XPS 14’s lid has the grey aluminum finish, with the Dell logo in the middle. Open it up, and a black matte finish greets you around the keypad, and the keypad itself. The material used here is the magnesium, given a soft touch finish. Popularly known as the “rubberized” feel, we would prefer something like this any given day on our laptops over a glossy or even the remotely shiny enamel finish.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
A similar finish extends to the touchpad as well, which has integrated right and left click keys. There are absolutely no quick access keys spread around the XPS 14 to ruin the looks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
On the base, the carbon fibre from the XPS 13 has given way to silicon. This is a heat absorbing material, and there is a pretty thick layer of it. Essentially, if you are using the XPS 14 on your lap for long periods, the chances of it becoming uncomfortable have been reduced to a large extent. On the near and the far sides are two channels of vents that really blow out the warm air. You should be very careful to not block any of these.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
The left side of the XPS 14 has a couple of USB ports, HDMI out and the Ethernet port. The right side has just the 3.5mm jack. With the dimensions of the laptop, particularly the thickness, exactly the same at the front and at the back, this does give the resemblance similar to a MacBook Pro.</div>

A strip of silver runs around the entire machine, as a wraparound. Quite a nice add-on, and contrasts well with the black magnesium that is predominant once you have opened the lid of the XPS 14.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
We really did not find any shortcomings in terms of the design, the build and the way the machine was put together. It resembles a MacBook Pro, but that is where any similarity stops. The XPS 14 has a very premium finish, and the materials used do lend it that extra classy touch. Absolutely no rough edges, so much so that we could not find any flex on any part of the chassis, including the lid! Now that does say something about the efforts that have been put into making this look and feel worthy of the price tag it commands.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Features & Specifications</b><br />As expected, the Dell XPS 14 has the latest Intel Ivy Bridge processors. The model we received is powered by a Core i5-3317U, the same as we saw on the HP Envy 4, the Samsung Series 5and the Sony Vaio T. The review unit is essentially the mid-range model with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive that has a box price of Rs. 85,299.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: center;">
<a class="highslide" href="http://www.thinkdigit.com/FCKeditor/uploads/Dell-XPS-14-800px-5.jpg" style="color: #0072c2; font-family: georgia; line-height: 14px; outline: none; text-align: left;"><img alt="" height="348" src="http://www.thinkdigit.com/FCKeditor/uploads/Dell-XPS-14-800px-5.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(222, 222, 222); cursor: url(http://www.thinkdigit.com/highslide/graphics/zoomin.cur), pointer !important;" width="522" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
Beyond the excellent build and design, the XPS 14 continues to impress. The 14-inch display has a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels. This is more than the 1366 x 768 pixel resolution that most ultrabooks in this price range tend to offer. The results are rather impressive – the display is a lot crisper than what most ultrabook displays offer. There is a lot of goodness in terms of the specs here as well – the Gorilla Glass with the edge-to-edge deployment doing away the need for a plastic bezel. This is brighter than the HP Envy 4-1002TX and the Samsung Series 5, but just like the XPS 13, handles colours very well. The sharpness, added to the excellent colour handling, makes this the perfect companion for watching a movie on the move. The only negative we can find with this display is that it is slightly reflective, and slightly more than the HP Envy and even the predecessor. You will have to turn up the brightness to compensate for the reflections from the environment, but that does not wash out the colours!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
As with most keyboards, it is more of a personal matter of preference and comfort. The keyboard on the XPS 14 is the type that will feel a tad flat in the beginning. The key size is slightly wider than the usual, but once you get used to the layout, this keyboard does offer a very precise feel. The travel is adequate, and the keys have a nice sounding thud. The backlighting is quite good, with the keys as well as rows illuminated in a white cool colour. The touchpad also has the soft feel, with the integrated right and left click keys. In terms of response, it is quite consistent and assured, and even slightly moist fingers don’t make it jump around.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: center;">

The area around the keyboard is completely uncluttered, thanks to no quick access keys cluttering up the look. The power key also blends in very well with the black coloured finish.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
Our review unit has a 500GB hard drive, with 32GB flash storage dedicated for caching tasks. This has become a regular feature in most of the newer ultrabooks, and the real world usage performance boost is immense. However, this is something we had mentioned in the review of the HP Envy 4 as well – Neither HP nor Dell offer a nifty little software like Samsung, that lets you manually enable or disable the flash storage, and manually clean it up if you want to.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Performance</b><br />With the same processor as the HP Envy 4 and the Samsung Series 5, we did not expect the performance to be very different. While the Dell and the HP get 4GB of RAM as standard, Samsung offers 6GB with the Series 5. As far as benchmarks were concerned, all three machines did pretty similar scores, thanks to the relatively similar hardware.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
In the PC Mark 07 test, the XPS 14 scores 3159 while the Envy 4 isn’t far behind with 3150 clocked. The Samsung Series 5 did score a bit less with 2371, but that shouldn’t take away anything from the fact that the performance is still rather good. Samsung gets its own back in the PC Mark Vantage test with a score of 7465, which is higher than the 7383 the XPS 14 scored. The HP Envy 4, incidentally, had a whopping score of 9966 in the same test.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
In terms of real life usability, all three machines offer a relatively similar experience – quick startup, zippy application response, no slowdowns while multi-tasking and a generally smooth Windows experience. The critical bit is the additional flash storage for the caching tasks, and while Samsung has 24GB of that, HP and Dell offer 32GB each. This is over and above the conventional HDD that will be the primary storage device.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
Gaming is where the HP Envy takes the advantage, thanks to the more powerful AMD Radeon HD7670M (2GB) graphics solution. While the Nvidia GeForce GT630M (1GB) on the XPS does stand up to the 7670M on the Envy for quite a while, it does lose out in the frame rate stakes. In the Unigene benchmark test, the GT630M scores 17.8 while the Radeon HD 7670M on the Envy scores an impressive 25.9 FPS. The performance is verified by the CineBench OpenGL test – 30.26 for the XPS 14 and 33.78 for the HP Envy 4.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px; text-align: justify;">
In our full stress load battery tests, the XPS 14’s battery lasted 210 minutes on a single charge – that is 3 hours and 30 minutes. Translate that into a traditional daily usage routine at work or at home checking mails and browsing the web with the brightness slightly less than 50%, we got a backup very similar to the HP Envy 4 – around 7 hours easily.</div>

The V3 Traverse is a custom-built compact gaming rig that’s housed in the same eggshell-white chassis as the AVADirect Mini Gaming PC. In fact, the V3 Traverse and the Mini Gaming PC are rather similar, spec-wise, though the V3 Traverse sports a less powerful processor, higher end graphics card and some different port options due to using a different motherboard.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">

Our review model, which costs $2509 as configured, features a third-generation Ivy Bridge Intel Core i5-3570K processor, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 690 graphics card, which uses two GTX 680 GPUs in a single card. The Traverse has two hard drives: a 1TB Hitachi HDD for basic storage, and a 128GB Corsair Force SSD for quick boot-up. The Traverse has built-in Wi-Fi 802.11n and runs a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: facitweb, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-top: 1em;">
Performance</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
The V3 Traverse manages an excellent overall performance score of 193 (out of 100) on PCWorld’s WorldBench 7 benchmark tests. This means that the Traverse is almost twice as fast (93 percent faster) than our testing model, which shouldn’t be too much of a surprise – our testing model sports a second-generation Intel Core i5-2500K processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB traditional platter hard drive. Our testing model has no SSD, which means certain processes (namely startup and storage) are slower than systems that do sport SSDs, even if they’re small SSDs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
Compared to the last three performance desktop PCs we tested, which include the Falcon Northwest Tiki and the V3 Convoy, the V3 Traverse comes out ahead. The average WB7 score of the last three systems tested was 189, which is just slightly lower than the Traverse’s score.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
The Traverse’s performance on individual tests varies. Though this system has a higher WB7 score than any of the last three desktops we’ve tested, it doesn’t always trump other systems in individual tests. For example, the Traverse performs well in our web performance test, with a frame rate of 22.1 frames per second, but it lags behind the other three systems, which have an average frame rate of 24.7 fps. The Traverse isn’t great at office productivity, either – in the PCMark 7 office productivity test, the Traverse scored 6050, which is less (but not much) than the average score of 6186 of the last three performance desktops tested.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
One area in which the Traverse does shine is start-up time. The system starts up in just 20 seconds, which is probably the fastest start-up time of any performance desktop that I’ve seen. By comparison, the V3 Convoy takes 36.5 seconds to start up, while the Maingear Shift Super Stock – currently our top-rated performance desktop PC – takes over two full minutes. Start-up time isn’t critical on a desktop PC, but being ready to go in 20 seconds is always nice.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
Graphics performance on the Traverse is up to par with other gaming systems. In our Crysis 2 graphics tests, the Traverse managed frame rates of between 70.6 (maximum quality settings, 2560 by 1600 pixel resolution) and 98.1 (low quality settings, 1024 by 768 pixel resolution) frames per second. By comparison the average frame rates of the last three desktops tested were between 35.9 and 97.3 fps.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
At maximum quality graphics settings, the Traverse performs pretty well; the dual GPU GTX 690 is probably a big factor in our gaming results. A lot of systems take a hit at the highest settings and/or highest resolutions, but the Traverse still manages to pop out 70 fps. It’s not quite as consistent as the Origin Genesis X79, though, which manages 92.6 fps at the highest setting/highest resolution, down just a little from its frame rate of 97.3 at the lowest setting/lowest resolution. Then again, the Genesis casts almost twice as much, and is massive.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: facitweb, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-top: 1em;">
Design & Interior</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
Like the AVADirect Mini Gaming PC, the V3 Traverse is housed in an arctic white BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX tower. This tower is fairly small, at just 15 inches tall, and is suspended by springy, rubbery handles made of BitFenix’s special “FyberFlex Composite.” There are two handles on the top of the machine, and two handles on the bottom. The handles are flimsy at best – the top handles don’t seem like they’ll support the weight of the (fully loaded) machine for very long, while the bottom handles have a rounded construction that causes the tower to wobble whenever you touch it. I suppose the handles are good for shock absorption, if you plan on moving your system often, but that’s about it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
The V3 Traverse’s chassis is good-looking, if you like the way an egg looks. The rounded handles and the white shell make it look like a very large egg. The mini-tower features flat white sides (the right side has some convenience ports and power/reset buttons, while the left side has a rectangular pattern of dots for ventilation), a white top with a removable black mesh panel, and a white front panel with a black border. The front houses the Traverse’s BD-RW drive, though the drive door is clad in plastic, not brushed aluminum like it is on AVADirect’s system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
Getting inside the Traverse’s chassis is easy: both sides come off (and are attached with two thumbscrews at the back), and a large black mesh panel on the top also comes off. The left side opens up to the graphics card, but there are two easily-accessible 5.25-inch drive bays, only one of which is full. The right side is a little trickier, since the there are two USB 3.0 ports on the right panel. However, inside the right panel are three little SSD-sized drive bays attached to the wall, only one of which is full.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
The Traverse is built with a Zotac Z77 motheboard, and has a decent port selection. The convenience ports, which are located on the right side of the machine, are the same: two USB 3.0 ports, a microphone jack, and a headphone jack. On the back are two more USB 3.0 ports (four total), four USB 2.0 ports, one PS/2 combination port for mouse and keyboard, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two HDMI outputs, one mini DisplayPort, one SPDIF out, and support for 7.1 surround sound. The AVADirect Mini Gaming PC doesn’t support 7.1 surround sound, but it (sort of) makes up for this with two extra USB 3.0 ports (six total). On the Traverse’s graphics card, you’ll find three DVI outputs and one mini DisplayPort.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: facitweb, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-top: 1em;">
The Bottom Line</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
At just over $2500, the V3 Traverse is sort of budget-friendly – if you’re a gamer looking for a powerful machine, that is. This little egg-inspired gaming PC (don’t worry – if you don’t like the egg look you can always customize your chassis in black) is an excellent overall performer. It’s also got a nice port selection, including a PS/2 combo port for people who still use non-USB mouse or keyboard, support for 7.1 surround sound, and dual Gigabit Ethernet jacks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
The Traverse’s mini-tower chassis is easy to open and has a decent amount of space – for a mini-tower. It’s certainly not a computer for a serious upgrader, but if you’re just looking to add an extra SSD or two, it’s definitely worth a look as an upgradeable machine.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Our review model, which is priced at $799, sports an Intel Core i5-2500 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon HD 6450 graphics card. It also has a 1TB hard drive, which is very roomy for a budget machine, and it runs a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. It has no built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (it's a budget tower, after all), but it did ship with a Blu-ray disc player--unusual in a machine that's otherwise very budget-like.</span><br />

In <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">PCWorld'</em>s WorldBench 6 benchmark tests, the H330 scored an impressive 158, which will put it at the top of our budget desktop category. Our previous leader, the Micro Express MicroFlex 23B, scored 141. That machine, of course, has a Core i3-2120 processor and half the RAM, not to mention a price tag that's $200 lower than the H330's. (The H330 is also a step or two up from its earlier sibling, the H320, which immediately follows the MicroFlex 23B on our chart.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
Graphics performance, however, was less than impressive. In our Unreal Tournament 3 tests, the H330 managed a rate of just 18.5 frames per second (high quality settings, 1920-by-1200-pixel resolution). Bumping the screen resolution down to 1680 by 1050 pixels helped a little (22.5 frames per second), but it's not until we go all the way down to 1024 by 768 pixels that we get a playable 46.4 fps. This isn't a gaming powerhouse, but this machine will still be able to perform basic multimedia tasks and stream video with few issues.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
The Lenovo H330 is housed in a small, slim tower that can either stand upright or lie horizontally on its side. The tower is simple but attractive, with a shiny black finish on the front casing and orange accents. A few ports are located on the front of the machine--two for USB--plus headphone and microphone jacks, a couple of card reader slots that will accept multiple formats, and of course the tray-loading Blu-ray disc player. The remaining ports are on the back: two PS/2 ports for a mouse and keyboard; four USB ports; gigabit ethernet; and HDMI, VGA, line-in, and line-out.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
As you might imagine, you don't get a lot of room inside for tinkering. And opening the chassis isn't exactly easy--not only will you need to break out a screwdriver, but taking off the side also removes half of the bottom of the machine (if you're not expecting this, you may end up knocking it over). Every extra nook is taken, but one PCIe slot (x1) is open.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
The H330 ships with a keyboard and a mouse, both of which feature orange accents, similar to the tower. Both are wired, but the keyboard is PS/2 while the mouse is USB.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
The keyboard features flat, regular-style keys. It's fairly comfortable to type on, but it doesn't give a lot of feedback, and the keys are a little too soft. On the plus side, this means that the keyboard is extremely quiet; on the minus side, it means that you may end up making a lot of typos. The keyboard also includes an orange LVT button that lets users access Lenovo Vantage Technology (LVT), Lenovo’s custom suite of utilities and recovery tools.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
The USB-wired mouse is typical: lightweight and optical, with two buttons and a scroll wheel. The scroll wheel is orange. There's nothing extraordinarily awesome or awful about this peripheral--it's just your run-of-the-mill optical mouse.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;">
Lenovo's H330 may be a budget machine, but it does have a few tricks up its sleeve--mainly, impressive performance and a Blu-ray player. While I'm not sure you really need a Blu-ray player on a system that offers just decent--at best--graphics quality, this desktop is good choice for people who are looking for superior general (nongaming) performance in a lower-cost desktop, plan only moderate multimedia usage, and want a case with a small footprint.</div>

The new ICN-B150 pad printer is the big brother to the B100 tabletop model. Like its brother, the B150 is a compact tabletop pad printer; the only difference is this is an industrial grade single-color pad printer for large images. The 150mm patented VersaCup ink cup assembly prints images of up to 140mm in size! The powerful compression capability of 779lbs allows for easy handling of large, hard print pads, which enables printing of highest quality images on tagless garments, drink ware, injection molded housing, bezels and other products up to 5.5" inches in height.<br />

<div class="introduction" id="story_continues_1" style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
he gospel about 3D printing is being taken to the streets of New York.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
MakerBot Industries, best known for its small 3D printers, has opened a shop in Manhattan through which it will aim to sell the joys of home fabrication to the general public.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
The store opening comes as MakerBot releases the second incarnation of its Replicator 3D printer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
The Replicator 2.0 works to much finer resolutions than earlier versions and can fabricate much bigger objects.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">

MakerBot said the store, the first of its kind, would act as a showcase for 3D printing and stage demonstrations and workshops for those who were curious about the technology.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
3D printing involves building up objects layer by layer out of plastic that is melted and fed via a carefully controlled nozzle to form a shape. The printers were initially used in engineering and design firms to produce and refine prototypes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Now many home hackers, makers and artists use 3D printers to turn out their own customised creations. Examples include model soldiers, cases for home electronic projects, and furniture for dolls' houses.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Bre Pettis said the Replicator 2.0 was aimed at the "prosumer" - either a design professional or a hardcore hobbyist. The device costs $2,199 (£1,360) and builds objects up in layers only 100 microns thick. In previous versions, each layer was about 270 microns thick.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Mat Fordy, founder and boss of coolcomponents.co.uk that sells 3D printers and other home hacking gear, said the technology was proving popular.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
"We've really seen the affordable 3D printer market in the UK explode over the last couple of years," he told the BBC. "Many types of people use them, not just professionals, but people who have an idea that they need to touch and hold."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
He said the new MakerBot was a great looking piece of kit but supply problems had made it hard to get hold of.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
"They never seem to have enough to go around, and that puts a lot of people off," he said. "Other excellent printers are in ready supply, and many people just give up waiting and get one of those instead."</div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3b3c; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you haven't spent time reading through PCMag's laptop page, you don't know what you're missing. There has been a crop of fast, fascinating, and feature-packed portable PCs in categories ranging from slim and portable ultrabooks to gaming behemoths—cool new laptops like the eight listed here by way of example.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3b3c; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ultrabooks may be thin, but the category is growing wider. Better processors have made ultrabooks into viable tools for business and multimedia, and the newest material of choice—carbon fiber—is cutting weight drastically. The ultrabook surge is far from over, so keep your eyes on the category for an ever-wider selection of thin and light options.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3b3c; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;">
On the other end of the size spectrum, desktop replacements and gaming laptops are offering more and more features, at a range of prices. The selection here spans several levels of affordability (from $749 to $2,599) but the number of advancements and features mean that the buyer is the winner at nearly any price. Intel's third-generation Ivy Bridge processors offer superb performance and energy efficiency across the board, while extras like 1080p HD displays and high-end designs ensure that even in the upper reaches you'll still get your money's worth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As for forward-looking features, every laptop here has USB 3.0 for speedy external storage and docking connectivity. Most have Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) for beaming screen and sound to an HDTV set equipped with a Belkin or Netgear adapter. And speaking of displays, no discussion of cool new laptops could fail to mention Apple's Retina Display, a laptop display with a staggering 2,880-by-1,800 resolution panel. It costs a pretty penny, but it will definitely catch your eye.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3b3c; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As always, our How to Buy a Laptop advice applies. It's a good idea to try to check out a notebook's screen and keyboard at a retailer before you buy, particularly for ultrabooks whose slim design may mean shallower keyboard travel than you're used to. Our reviews will tell you whether a system has the ports you need and how it did on our industry-standard benchmark tests so you can make your best buying decision.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3b3c; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 9px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The only trouble with highlighting cool new laptops is that today's laptops are cooler than ever. Check out these samples to get started, then stay on top of the market in the pages of PCMag.</div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; width: 480px;">
In the ever-changing mobile market, it can be hard to keep pace with the latest mobile phones. That's why we've put together this hub for our latest mobile phone reviews: to give you the ideal jumping-on point for choosing the best handset for you out of the most current models around.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;">
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; width: 480px;">
We cover a plethora of brands, including Apple, HTC, Nokia, Palm and Blackberry, and operating systems, such as Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7, so you should find something that piques your interest here.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
In short, if you're seeking a new mobile phone, this is a great place to start.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
<strong>HTC Wildfire S</strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
</div>
<figure style="border: 1px solid rgb(178, 178, 178); clear: both; cursor: pointer; margin: -1px 0px 20px; overflow-x: hidden; position: relative;"><img alt="new mobile phones" src="http://cdn2.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//classifications/Mobile%20Phones/Hands%20on%20pictures/HTC/HTC%20Wildfire%20S/HTC_Wildfire_S_Review_001-580-100.jpg" style="border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; vertical-align: middle;" width="580" /></figure><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; width: 480px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The first Wildfire from HTC spread almost like its moniker, so popular did its blend of HTC Sense, durable form factor and affordable pricing prove. Now that it's burnt out, however, it needs a successor to carry the torch. Rising from the ashes is the Wildfire S.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The handset carries on the legacy well enough, with an impressively solid chassis, great social features and responsive touchscreen. The market's changed since the first Wildfire blazed its trail into history, though. With dual-core 'superphones' to contend with, it's hard to consider a 600Mhz processor hot stuff.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
And while HTC's Sense interface proves as compelling as ever, the lack of grunt means missing out on Flash support for iPlayer and the like.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
All that wouldn't matter if the Wildfire S only required liberating a token sum from your account, but you'll need a fair few sheets burning a hole in your pocket (around £220 SIM-free, or £15 a month) to lay claim to this little fella.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
In the highly competitive market of 2011, that makes the Wildfire S a tricky proposition. Beginners will be well-served by the Wildfire S's rounded package, but you can certainly get a lot more for not much extra cash.</div>

It's rare that a direct sequel to something awesome – be it film, game or hardware – is anything other than a disappointment when it comes to a new phone.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
Rarer still is when the second instalment surpasses the original. We can think of just a scant handful of cases off the top of our heads: The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2 and Left 4 Dead 2.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
Well, add the Galaxy S2 to that list, because this phone is awesome.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
Thin, light and with an amazingly clear 4.3-inch Super AMOLED plus screen behind its toughened Gorilla Glass front panel, this is one handset you won't be pocketing in shame when your mates pass by.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
In fact, we suspect you'll be evangelising about it to anyone who'll listen. That's because the dual-core processor within its tiny shell isn't just a marketing bullet point, but rather powers an experience that we're nothing short of effervescent about. For instance, web browsing is blisteringly fast and the Galaxy S2's Flash support is second to none.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">

If you're aged 14-21 and are after a fun mobile rather than a black slab of raw processing power, we reckon you'll find it hard not to like (or +1, if you prefer) the new 'Facebook phone'.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
As the nickname suggests, Mark Zuckerberg's blue-hued brand of social media is at the heart of the experience – HTC even going as far as to give the site its own dedicated button beneath the ChaCha's decent QWERTY keyboard.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
Break through the wall of modified HTC Sense and you'll note that Android Gingerbread is powering the experience, which should be welcome for the tech-savvy target audience. Less warmly received will be the Flash integration, which is a bit iffy to say the least.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
With a funny shape and small screen to boot, you're really going to have to want the ChaCha's style of social oh la la to buy into this. Still, if you do, then this is something to post home about.</div>

This phone is so brand spanking new that it was announced just a day before we first held it in our palms. It adheres to the sensational HTC Sensation's template, but with the addition of ear-pleasing Beats Audio processing and a few spec upgrades.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
You needn't be an audiophile to enjoy the new profile, but you will need a set of Beats Audio headphones.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
Thankfully, a pair come with the device. In our tests so far, we've noticed a real difference, with the tinny edge of HTC's sound enhancer diminished, the crispness of sounds augmented and the only potential grounds for minor quibbles being the ear canal-shaking levels of bass.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The good news continues elsewhere, with a 1730mAh battery that should have more staying power than the original Sensation, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor to keep the experience smooth and an eye-pleasing design.</div>

Could Sony Ericsson finally be about to deliver on the promise of, well, every smartphone it's ever made that wasn't quite good enough? Maybe it was stupid to hope, but we did anyway with this new mobile phone.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
An attractive design with a curved back that's just 8.7mm thick in the middle? Check. Impressive new Exmor camera technology? Check. Good spec list, including HDMI output? Check. Superb video player? Check.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The hardware is extremely impressive, both in terms of looks and performance. Forget the fashionable dual-core phones – when done right, a single-core 1GHz processor can do it all, although busy, dynamic websites will cause the phone to chug a little.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
As it is, we're prepared to overlook the Xperia Arc's few minor flaws (small buttons, odd text entry) thanks to its stunning good looks, superb screen and very decent photo performance. You can't help but love it once you've held its magically thin body and gazed adoringly into its dazzling Reality Display.</div>

<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
Though the HTC Desire's technology is now being surpassed, it's aged beautifully thanks to some timely price drops. However, all things must come to an end (or at least be supplanted by something new). The HTC Desire S has arrived to take over from its predecessor in the Android race.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
In many ways, it's quite similar. We'll still be looking at a 3.7-inch 480 x 800 screen, Android overlaid with HTC's Sense UI and a 1GHz processor. However, HTC hasn't totally rested on its laurels with its new mobile phones.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The design and build of the handset is excellent, save for a slight Wi-Fi cutting-out issue. The camera is good quality, producing serviceable still and HD video that would be quite good if it weren't for a small stuttering issue.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
Call quality was excellent, with voices coming through crisp and clear, and it's a shame how little we get to say that about handsets these days.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The browsing experience was generally strong, with the speed that web pages load still impressing us, and Flash is taking yet more steps forward in its 10.2 guise. It was still finicky at times, but when it did work, it was fairly smooth, which is more than we could say for many Flash 10.1 single-core phones.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
However, the reason the Desire has kept up with everything that's come after is because it was so far ahead in the first place. The Desire S isn't. It's a great phone, and one we would wholeheartedly recommend in a vacuum.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The HTC Desire led the revolution, but the Desire S could be just another member of the rabble.</div>

While RIM has a great reputation for push email and corporate handsets, it's not known for being an innovator. For this reason, the Blackberry Bold 9900 is an intriguing proposition, packing some higher-end tech into a rather attractive shell.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The capacitive (and high resolution) touchscreen screen is a particular marvel, but the inclusion of a near-field communications chip and the brand new OS 7 show that the Bold 9900 was made to break new ground for RIM.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The result is impressive, but only if you're happy to operate within the boundaries of BlackBerry's traditional strengths.

With a middle-of-the-range spec, 800MHz processor and iPhone-aping looks, it may be hard to see why it's worth buying into the new Galaxy Ace. However, its Android 2.2 (Froyo) OS makes a considerable difference and is, in fact, this phone's ace (yes! We said it) in the hole.</div>

<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
This update of the Torch 9800, the first touchscreen-equipped BlackBerry, is mighty similar to its predecessor at first glance. But fire up the 3.2-inch touchscreen and you'll start to notice the difference, with a VGA 640 x 480 resolution making the whole experience far crisper.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The processor is fast, the battery life is good, and contacts and messaging are fantastic, but we do have a few gripes. This, folks, is an incremental upgrade and one that struggles to find its niche in BlackBerry's pantheon.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
There are RIM handsets that are more focused on the demographics that this phone lightly touches, and those who already own a Torch 9800 may well be still locked into a contract, so there'll be little chance to upgrade.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
It's by no means a bad handset, though, so it's well worth a look alongside phones such as the Bold 9900 or Curve as a point of comparison.</div>

<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
It's big, it's weighty and it's pretty darn expensive, but that pair of characters tacked on the end of the LG Optimus 3D's name might justify all that and more for you. For this, ladies and gents, is a technological milestone: the first 'glasses-free' 3D phone.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The good news is that the effect works brilliantly and that all-important screen is complemented by some great Android customisations on the software side.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
Web performance is stellar too.The bad news is that even for a dual-core, the Optimus 3D can feel sluggish, the battery life is poor and – oddly for a phone sold on the back of cutting-edge tech – it's 'only' running Android 2.2.</div>

<strong>Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini</strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
</div>
<figure style="border: 1px solid rgb(178, 178, 178); clear: both; cursor: pointer; margin: -1px 0px 20px; overflow-x: hidden; position: relative;"><img alt="Sony ericsson xperia mini" src="http://cdn0.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net//Review%20images/TechRadar/Mobile%20phones/Sony%20Ericsson/x10_mini/Press%20shots/sony-xperia-x10mini_1-580-100.jpg" style="border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; vertical-align: middle;" width="580" /></figure><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; width: 480px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
Mini by name and by nature, this is a refresh of the concept behind Sony Ericsson's X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro, the pint-sized and ultraportable handsets launched in mid-2010.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
It packs a new 1GHz processor, and a bigger 3-inch screen with the Bravia Engine Reality Display tech used in the Xperia Arc (read: you get a 320x480 resolution touchscreen that's a bit brighter at times).</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The user interface has received an overhaul too, so on paper the new Xperia Mini looks like a big leap forward for the tiny form factor.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
And so it proves to be, offering a very usable – dare we say, pretty – interface that makes the small screen totally workable. Social media integration is great too.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 480px;">
The story's not perfect, though, with less-than-brilliant video codec support and a weak camera offering. The titchy screen won't suit gamers either, but those after a great little phone that won't keep their hands full with glitches and faffing about could be in for a treat.</div>

Physical documents still need to be printed and some offices have a bulk load of pages produced each day. Any user or organisation that opts for a new printer narrows down the decision based on a few critical aspects of the device. These aspects are print quality, print speed and most importantly, the print cost. Next on the list, and most important to an office, is network printing, scanning and a copier function to save on an additional cost of a photo-copier machine. Last but not the least, a fax function could be optional as emails are now preferred as they are fast and free. This is where an all-in-one unit, especially laser MFPs are preferred. The reason—a single compact unit that can handle all these important tasks, takes up lesser space and can be operated by all users connected on the network. We received an HP LaserJet Pro 200, which is a colour multi-function printer (the MFP M276nw) and here is our opinion about it.</div>

The LaserJet Pro 200 is a huge guy—stands tall, looks bulkier, is heavier and takes up a little more space than a conventional all-in-one. The Pro is designed and aimed towards mid-to-large-scale enterprise business offices. Housed in a fantastically built all-black and partially glossy and matte-finished shell, the Pro 200 has a rugged build quality. Unlike the smaller siblings, the paper trays are tough and firm. The top features a letter-sized flatbed scanner with an automatic document feeder (ADF) that can feed up to 35-sheets. Just below the scanner is the output tray, which can hold 125-sheets in the bin. Both the scanner and the output bin take up just around 25 percent of the entire printer, while the rest of the bulk houses the paper mechanism, input tray and the cartridges.</div>

A power button and a USB 2.0 host interface are seen on the front-right alongside the cartridge compartment. A sufficiently large 3.5-inch colour display screen-based control panel is provided to take complete control over the entire printer’s configuration and operation. The control panel comprises a resistive display with capacitive touch controls around it for back, home, help etc. and the top of the panel features LEDs for power and network connectivity indications. The entire control panel is housed in a tilting body, which can be folded down or raised higher according to the user’s preference. Just above the paper tray is a large cartridge bay—pull back the door and a huge tray can be pulled to reveal the toner cartridges. The sheet feeder built with the printer is a single unit and can hold up to 150 sheets or 10 envelopes. You have an option to buy a larger capacity tray to hold more pages if your print volume is higher through the day. A power socket, Ethernet and USB interfaces and telephone jacks take their place on the rear panel that also features a door to access any paper jams. </div>

The LaserJet Pro 200 M276nw is a colour MFP and features functions such as print, scan, copy and fax. It runs on a 750 MHz processor and is coupled with 256 MB of RAM. The printer uses old-school laser printing technology, which can give out print resolutions at 600 x 800 dpi in black and 600 x 600 dpi in colour modes. Bundled along with the printer is a starter cartridge pack, which can yield around 700 pages. Once empty, the new cartridge will give you around 2400 pages in black, while the colour cartridges can yield around 1800 pages each. The cartridges are available in two variants—'A' and 'x', which are regular and extended yielding cartridges. The Black 'A' cartridge costs around Rs 4,419 and can yield almost 1600 pages, while the colour (CMY) 'A' cartridges cost around Rs 5,537 and can yield approximately 1800 pages each. This gets the estimated cost per print to Rs 3 per print for both black and colour. As far as the print speeds matters, HP claims to produce up to 14 pages per minute in black or colour, however, we did run our tests to check what speeds we achieve. Well, we shall get to the performance of the MFP a little later. </div>

The printer incorporates a great energy saving feature called HP Auto-On/Auto-Off Technology that turns the printer off when you don’t need it. Using this feature, you do not need to actually switch off the printer physically anymore. Simply fire a print command and the USB wake-up feature will power up the printer, print the document and shut down automatically. Another interesting feature on the energy saving mode is the fuser used in this printer—unlike conventional laser printers that keep the fuser switched on all the time to maintain the toner fusing temperature, this one heats up only when needed and that too, only the area of the drum (that needs the heat) that is physically in contact with the passing paper.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The toner used here is also a low temperature fusing ink that does not need the fuser to heat up as much as other laser printers usually do. This additionally helps reduce the overall energy consumption. Hence, the cartridges used here cannot be refilled using regular laser toner inks that need higher temperatures to fuse to the paper. If refilled, it will end up damaging the fuser and you might get smudgy prints or prints that can be easily wiped-off when handling. The printed pages also do not curl, especially in humid environments—thanks to the low heating fuser technology. The printer has a monthly duty cycle of 30,000 pages, but the manufacturer recommends a volume of 1500 pages.</div>

The scanner featured here is a flatbed with ADF type and can scan colour documents and photos with resolutions of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi and bit depth levels of 30-bit. Documents can be scanned and sent to the network PCs or directly saved on a storage drive connected to the USB host port. The scanner can scan at speeds of up to 10 pages per minute using the ADF and formats available are PDF, searchable PDF, JPG, RTF, TXT, BMP, PNG and TIFF. The scanner in combination with the printer makes up the copier section and can produce up to 600 x 600 dpi resolution prints in both black and colour. Reduction, enlargement, 99-page multiple copies, collation, fit to page, four pages in one, ID copy, draft copy and contrast adjustments are a few other features of the copier mode.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #787777; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 26px;">The latest member of HP's ENVY family features a TouchSmart display and Windows 8 combined with premium components. Is this an Ultrabook worth buying?</span><br />

<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Overview</strong><br />The HP ENVY 4 TouchSmart -- also called the HP ENVY TouchSmart Ultrabook 4t -- is the latest 14-inch laptop from one of the companies that founded Silicon Valley. The key element that makes this laptop worth talking about is the inclusion of a touchscreen that allows direct control over the Windows 8 tile interface.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #787777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This Windows 8 laptop is arguably the "easy sell" in HP's new Windows 8 line; you essentially get a traditional Windows laptop at a starting price of just under $800 with the added benefit of a touchscreen so you can experience the new tiles the way Microsoft meant them to be used.</div>

<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Build and Design</strong><br />HP engineers have been pretty consistent with the design philosophy for HP's line of Ultrabooks and the ENVY TouchSmart 4t is no exception. This laptop is wrapped in plastic with brushed aluminum plates covering the screen lid as well as the top of the chassis around the keyboard and palm rests. Although the bottom half of the notebook is plastic it is covered in a "soft touch" rubberized paint which gives this Ultrabook a more premium look and feel compared to the lower-priced HP Pavilion notebooks.</div>

<a href="http://www.notebookreview.com/shared/picture.asp?f=68083" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #4a6471; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/68084.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; float: right; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="320" /></a>Like the rest of the Ultrabooks in the HP lineup, the ENVY 4 TouchSmart is about as thin and light as it can be. The notebook itself is just 23 mm (.9 in) thin with the screen closed and weighs only 2.1 kg (4.77 lbs) so it's actually as small or smaller than most 13-inch laptops from a few years ago. The ENVY 4 could be a little slimmer and lighter if it used a standard display instead of one with a touch-enabled surface, but the minor increase in thickness isn't likely to be noticed by most consumers ... again, this Ultrabook is still thinner an lighter than most of the laptops that people are currently using. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The previously mentioned aluminum covers and rubber-coated plastics should make the ENVY 4 more than durable enough for average home and student use. The screen lid is strong and we didn't see any screen distortions or "ripples" when we applied pressure to the back of the screen.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While we're talking about the screen it's also worth mentioning that since this Ultrabook was designed with the understanding that users would regularly touch the screen HP moved the majority of the internal weight (battery, hard drive, etc.) to the front half of the chassis beneath the palm rests so you won't have to worry about the laptop "flipping over" even when you are pressing on the screen.</div>

If you take a quick look at the bottom of ENVY 4t you'll see it's pretty standard for an Ultrabook. The bottom half of the notebook looks clean with no quick access panel for removing the hard drive, RAM, or other components. This Ultrabook uses two standard RAM slots and a 7mm hard drive as well as a mSATA SSD slot, so upgrades are possible ... you just have to be prepared to remove all 13 Phillips head screws so you can get inside.</div>

<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ports and Features</strong><br />The 14-inch ENVY 4 TouchSmart features most of the major ports you expect to find on a modern laptop on the left and right sides of the chassis with no ports on the front or back edges. You'll see a 4-in-1 media card reader (SD, SDHC, SDXC, and MMC), headphone and microphone jacks and HDMI but no VGA port for older external monitors and projectors. There are also two USB 3.0 ports and a sleep-and-charge USB 2.0 port. HP used a folding Ethernet jack on the left side of the chassis to keep this Ultrabook as thin as possible. On that note, the ENVY 4 lacks a built-in DVD drive but an optional external DVD drive is available from HP at the time of purchase. All the port descriptions below are listed from left to right.<iframe frameborder="0" height="0" scrolling="no" src="http://assetscdn.com/r/" style="background-color: transparent; border-width: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="0"></iframe></div>

<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Screen and Speakers</strong><br />The 14-inch glossy screen on the ENVY 4 is a pretty average LED-backlit HD display with a 1366 x 768 resolution ... with one exception: this is a touchscreen. While we would have been more impressed if HP used a higher resolution 1600 x 900 screen, our editors were pretty impressed by the accuracy and sensitivity of the TouchSmart display.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This really is one of the main reasons to purchase this Ultrabook instead of one of the cheaper traditional laptops running Windows 8; the new Start screen and tile interface were designed with touch in mind. Yes, you can still use a touchpad or mouse to move the cursor on the screen and control Windows that way, but most people will likely discover that touching the tiles and moving things around with your fingertips just feels more intuitive in Windows 8.</div>

In terms of viewing angles, the underlying screen on the ENVY 4 is just a standard TN-type display panel so you'll start to notice varying degrees of color shift as soon as you tilt the screen forward or back since color fidelity is only maintained when your eyes are viewing the screen from straight ahead. Brightness is fine indoors but the backlight just isn't bright enough to overpower the sun when you're outdoors on a bright day.</div>
