Well, Apple just finished its WWDC Keynote (or at least the notebook part — we’ll have more about the iPhone in a bit), and the Apple elves have dropped a bunch of new toys in our laps. First up are the new MacBooks.
The MacBook Pro line is being expanded with a new 13-inch model. All [...]

Ah. Hello old friend.
The Expert Mouse has been around for about 10 years. The first time I tested one was for ReviewCenter.com, and the trackball was “90s computer case beige” in color. It depended on mechanical, dust-gathering wheels to position the cursor.
This is the seventh generation of the Expert Mouse. Now, it’s optical, has a [...]

Kensington’s USB display solution is a very simple product that does something very complicated.
The device allows computers with single-display video cards to add a second monitor using only an available USB port.
The adapter is just a box with a USB port and a digital video port and supports widescreen 1440 x 1050 and [...]

Docking stations are nice if you use the laptop primarily at one location or have lots of things to plug into it that don’t move — input devices, webcam, monitor. This leaves the BookEndz with a good chance to market third party docking stations. This is a hard thing for the company to manufacture since [...]

With 12 sockets, including eight that rotate to get out of the way, the T12 is great. It just should cost a lot less.

This one surprised us.
We’ve spent the last month reviewing all sorts of mice: big mice, small mice, weird mice, but mostly expensive mice. And lo and behold, we’re having some fun with one of the cheapest of the bunch.
The Razer Salmosa mouse is not a decked out super gaming mouse. In fact, a lot of [...]

As you can certainly see from Blast’s “Holy Mouses” coverage of like a dozen mice this fall, there are lots of good choices out there in the input device world. Just not this one.

With Microsoft and Razer joining forces to produce their Habu mouse, that really leaves two major companies fighting it out in the world of computer mice, specifically hardcore gaming mouses.
The Logitech G5 Laser is regarded by many as the best pure gaming mouse on the market, so we decided to take a look at the [...]

I may finally have found a replacement for my Dell optical mouse. I’ve been shipped two dozen mouses over the last couple years, and I always go back to my old wired Dell default special.
Why? Simplicity, comfort, easy button pressing, and good pointer tracking for when I need to do a photo cutout or [...]

IOGEAR’s GearJuice is a nifty little product that’s perfectly handy for college students, glove compartments, suitcases and laptop bags.
It supplies emergency power to nearly any small, portable device, but not in that disposable, one use, drug store special kind of way. The rechargeable lithium polymer battery will fill up your cell phone’s gas tank three [...]

The Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse is the most complicated consumer computer input device ever made. It’s also one of the best.
It’s a mouse, designed for gaming, that Microsoft says was inspired by the Master Chief from Halo and the Mazda Senku Concept Car, among other futuristic muses.
“Microsoft Hardware conducted research with hundreds of gamers all over [...]

Here’s a review for the savvy reader.
Are you frustrated with the off the shelf routers you can buy in the store? Does your hardware crash on you at the worst possible moment? Does your Best Buy router not have the option to stop your room mates downloads from slowing down your internet? Well, one way [...]
