MSI Intros 14″ CR400 ‘Classic’ Notebook
Hot on the heels of the 14″ EX460 gaming notebook from MSI comes the classically styled CR400, a toned-down version of a typical MSI laptop that aims more for the “all-business” crowd that the LAN party attendee. In fact, the CR400 is the first in the company’s new “Classic” series, which is comprised of the 14″ CR400, 16″ CR600 and 17.3″ CX700 and CR700.

Sprint Requiring Wi-Fi On All Future Smartphones
My, how the tables have turned. The bickering from mobile carriers over the inclusion of Wi-Fi on higher-end devices is still fresh in our minds, as just a few years back many companies viewed it as a rival to 3G, and thus, a rival to mobile data revenues.

Naturally, when you go to iTunes, you get a promotional announcement: Light a candle and cue the music. OK, forgive us for sounding like doting parents, but we’re just so proud–having watched the App Store go from promising newcomer to full-fledged revolutionary. To celebrate its first birthday, we’ve
VIA-Equipped F88 Netbook Looks To Handle HD
For the most part, “netbook” and “HD capable” really don’t go together. Particularly if it’s a netbook equipped with the all too familiar Atom N270 + GMA 950 combo. But things look a bit different if the machine is loaded with innards from a different manufacturer…namely, VIA. The unheard of Shenzhen Zaiben Technology Company, likely a low-rate Chinese OEM, has just introduced a new “clamshell PC” dubbed the F88, which looks to be one of the most multimedia-friendly netbooks to date. Boasting a 10″ display
What Chrome OS Means To You
Earlier this week, Google shocked many people when it announced plans to enter the operating system business and offer a Chrome operating system.

For starters, some people are already wondering if they should wait for the OS before purchasing additional hardware. Although the Chrome OS has potential to cause some changes in the industry, we won’t know how big these changes
