Microsoft has announced they will be testing out the One Laptop Per Child device with Windows XP, sexing up the current Linux based system. Microsoft hasn’t announced how likely an official Windows version of the OLPC XO device will appear, though if tests are successful we can expect a better idea by the second half of 2008. Adding XP to ...

I gave up on PCs after I just couldn’t allow myself to see another blue screen. I feared for my laptops life if I were to ever see one again. My obsession with World Of Warcraft might be my downfall back to the PC. The new World Of Warcraft-branded Dell Laptops come with a slew of extra WoW-themed features. Set ...

Man, oh man, have we seen some kickass notebook mods in our day. It feels like it was only yesterday that I was proclaiming the iTop the coolest thing since sliced bread. This Antique notebook mod is really one for the record books. Running off of Ubuntu (like that even matters when your computer looks like this), the Heirloom mod ...

The wallet itself protects your computer from the elements while the wrist strap helps to keep it firmly in hand. The Laptop Wallet comes in three sizes that are specifically designed for MacBook and MacBook Pro ...

When it comes to laptop overclocking, there aren’t many choices beyond useless fan-type solutions. Finally, Intel and Embraco have teamed up to develop a cooling system that actually brings refrigeration to laptops. Apparently, the device works thanks to what is being touted as the World’s smallest miniature compressor. Air is cooled before it flows to the bottom of the laptop ...

Admit it, you are totally falling in love with this little USB Hub Man from Kikkerland. The five USB ports and the tiny power indicator LED heart are simply irresistible.
