The Razer Abyssus Mirror Special Edition Review
There are several big names in the computing industry that have something the others don’t: a pedigree; a long standing production history of quality products. However, these companies tend to be in the internal hardware fields: Intel, AMD, nVidia, ATI, Asus, and so on. There are fewer of these in the peripheral world, though one or two definitely sit at the top of the pile; Razer is one such manufacturer. While not every product the firm produces is top notch, one thing is certain, they do know what they’re doing when it comes to gaming mice. However, today we need to put that thought aside and take a look at one of Razer's freshest products, the Abyssus Mirror Special Edition. More |
ZOTAC GTX480 Review
The GTX 480 is late. The GTX 480 is hot. Both of these facts have now been established by both ourselves and a gazillion other review sites. We will therefore not dwell upon these factors in this review of the first Fermi card from Zotac to enter the ITShootout.com labs. Since XFX’s partial defection to ATi last year, Zotac has become an increasingly important NVIDIA release partner here in the UK. You’ll probably be familiar with the brand by now if you like to keep abreast of developments in IT. More

Sony Vaio Z - Z11Z9E/B Laptop Review
Since its conception the raison d'être of the Sony Vaio Z series has been to squeeze as much performance as possible out of a 13,1" laptop. This year's spring refresh is no exception, but it brings a number of exciting new technologies to the table. New for this season is dual or quad SSD drives in RAID0, a 1920x1080 Adobe 96% RGB Full HD screen, a backlit keyboard and Core i5/i7 processors - plus a weight reduction of around 100 grams; down to 1.4 kilos (around 3 lbs).

Asus GTX 480 1.5GB vs Sapphire Toxic Radeon HD 5870 2GB
Asus is one of the first manufacturers to actually have GeForce GTX 480s available to buy (at least intermittently), so we were delighted when the firm's Voltage Tweak edition of the card arrived in the ITShootOut.com office. This happened to coincide rather nicely with the arrival of our 2GB Sapphire Toxic edition 5870 sample, allowing us to pit these two single-GPU flagships against each other to see which card comes out on top.

Intel X25-M G2 80GB Solid State Drive (SSD) Review
Intel has been dominating the performance CPU market since the release of its Core 2 Duo chips several years ago, but there’s another sector of the market the firm has also been quietly attempting to conquer; Solid State Storage. Intel’s current consumer-focused drive is known as the X25-M (GM2); with the M standing for “mainstream”. Today we will be looking at the 80GB variant. More

Android 2.2 Review
Android 2.2 was introduced at Google's I/O conference in San Francisco this past May. It promised to add a number of much-wanted changes and additions to the mobile OS, and even a few things that Apple's iOS does not offer. We've recently acquired the final gold build of Android 2.2, or "Froyo," on our in-house Nexus One, and we'll be detailing the changes and performance tweaks in the pages ahead. Join us as we take a deep dive into the world of Android 2.2, Google's latest and greatest mobile OS...

iPhone 4G Review
The iPhone 4 was officially revealed at WWDC in early June, but the world knew about the device long before that. In an extremely unusual slip for Apple, the next generation iPhone was found in a California bar a few weeks before its official announcement, giving the tech world an up close look at the hardware well before Apple intended. But you couldn't tell much by looking at the hardware alone; it was a little thinner, a bit different in terms of construction and had a front-facing camera. But without a working operating system, not much else could be gleaned. Now, however, there are no more secrets and we've got a full review of the iPhone 4, complete with video, available here...

Creative Labs World of Warcraft Wireless Headset Review
"You don't have to play/enjoy World of Warcraft, the biggest MMORPG in the world, to fully appreciate this new wireless headset from Creative Labs. Of course fans (like us) will enjoy the game-based design and the voice distortion software that turns the user's voice into the likes of several characters from the RPG, but the World of Warcratf Wireless Headset is ideal for those who seek a wireless solution for gaming and an experience of excellent sound combined with extreme comfort. You can play through hours without feeling the weight or pressure of the headset and still enjoy high quality sound. Although is hard to save the praise for later, first we'll focus on describing the headset."

HP EliteBook 8440w Core i7 Notebook Review
Splitting the difference. Satisfying the niche. Exploiting an opportunity. All of those phrases could be used to accurately describe what HP has done here with the new EliteBook 8440w. It's one of the smaller options in the expanding EliteBook family, yet also one of the most powerful. That's not a combination you hear of very often. In most circumstances, you'll need a larger machine in order to accommodate more powerful components within, mostly because the more powerful components emit more heat than the lower-end components. Hewlett-Packard, however, has managed to get a Core i7 Mobile processor within the frame of a 14" notebook and still keep the heat under control. What we're left with is an extremely unique machine that has fewer competitive alternatives...
