2012 GMC Terrain review

2012 GMC Terrain test drive and review - check out the all new SUV by GM

2012 GMC Terrain 



In this review we are going to show you the front-wheel drive version of the 2012 GMC Terrain SUV. It achieves better fuel economy and has lower price tag than the all-wheel drive model.
The GMC Terrain is a relatively small SUV but it offers great interior space so it is good enough for long trips with a lot of luggage. The towing capacity of this SUV is good as well.
For 2012 GM has made some minor design changes for the Terrain and now it looks sportier and modern.

iRulu MID Google Android 2.3 tablet review - price, features and specifications of the 7-inch 4G MID Google Android tablet

Today we are going to take a look at another cheap Android tablet. The 7-inch 4G MID Google Android tablet costs around $80 and offers the usual performance that tablets in this price range show.
This cheap tablet from iRulu has a IMAPX210 1GHz processor, 256MB of RAM and 4GB internal flash memory (MMC expandable up to 32GB).
The display of the 4G MID Google Android tablet is nothing special and you can't expect anything different from a tablet with such price. It's a 7-inch screen and the resolution is 800x480.
Connection options of this MID tablet include built-in WiFi adapter and a USB port. Manufacturer claims this one also supports 3G connection but we cannot comment on this one as we haven't test is.
Multimedia features if this MID tablet include built in 1.3MP camera, stereo speakers and a headphone jack.
As we mentioned this is an Android 2.3 tablet and as you probably already know there are hundreds of apps for this operating system but with only 256MB of RAM don't expect the smoothest experience.
The dimensions of this iRulu MID Google Android 2.3 tablet are pretty reasonable and it weighs around 0.37kg which is more than acceptable.

Test drive Skoda Superb

Test drive Skoda Superb- video test drive and review Skoda Superb 2011



The second generation of the Skoda Superb is one of the most awarded cars in last few years. The car offers enormous interior and luggage space and built quality that is way over this car's price. The simple and elegant design suits to almost anyone and that's probably one of the reasons the new Superb attracts so many customers. It is not a surprise that some people prefer the Superb over premium cars like the Mercedes E-class or the Audi A6.
The second generation Superb is offered with various petrol and diesel engines but we would not recommend you the smallest diesel because of the lack of power (this is quite a big and heavy car after all). Take a look at the quick test drive and review of the 2011 Skoda Superb and decide if you may consider it as your next car.

Superpad 2 tablet review

Superpad 2 tablet review - price, features, specifications and full video review of the Android Superpad 2 tablet

When Flytouch first presented their Superpad tablet it was like the new kid on the block, something with name and design familiar to the iPad but with much lower price and questionable performance. Now the Superpad tablet is well known in tablet world and that's why we are going to take a closer look at the Superpad 2 with Android 2.3 operating system and fast 1GHz processor.
As previously mentioned Superpad tablets have design very similar to the one of the Apple's iPad but the Superpad 2 is much thicker and a bit heavier.
The Superpad 2 has a large 10.2-inch 1024X600 touchscreen display which does not offer the greatest picture quality you may expect but it is OK for a tablet in this price range.
Thanks to the 1 GHz processor 512MB DDR RAM the Superpad 2 runs smoothly with most applications. It cannot be compared to the iPad 2 or the Galaxy Tab but it will get the job done with ease.
The Superpad 2 offers various connection options - 2 USB ports, mini HDMI and a MicroSD are all available with this tablet.

Connecting to the Internet is easy with the built-in WiFi 802.11 b/g and Ethernet port. Superpad 2 does not have a built-in GPS receiver but additional GPS antenna is available for those who need this tablet for navigation.
Audio options of the Superpad 2 include headphone jack and a mic. The built in speakers provide crisp sound but they are far from exceptional.
An additional feature of the Superpad 2 is the built-in front facing camera which comes as a surprise for a tablet in this price segment.

Peugeot 508 test drive

Peugeot 508 test drive and review

Today we are going to take a look at Peugeot's brand new sedan 508. It replaces two of the brand outgoing models (the 407 and the 607) combining it into one new model that is bigger and more upmarket than the 407 but not as luxurious as the 607 limousine.
 

The new 508 has a nice elegant exterior with dynamic profile which suits perfect to the car. The front is typical Peugeot with massive grill and aggressive headlights. The rear of the 508 is muscular and gives the car more settled look.

Citroen DS4 consumer report

Citroen DS4 consumer report - test drive and review Citroen DS4

   
 It has been quite some time since Citroen launched their luxury new DS-series and for some this was a step forward even though the brand was using some tricks from the 1960's.
Citroen DS4 is based on the mid-sized hatchback C4 with some stylish and functional upgrades to make it stand out form the crowd.
The car is elegant and sporty but looks a bit too big and massive and doesn't have the distinctive sporty looks it should probably have.

HTC Droid Incredible 2 smartphone review

HTC Droid Incredible 2 smartphone review - price, features and specifications

HTC Droid Incredible 2 is an Android 2.2 based smartphone with 1GHz Qualcomm MSM 8655 processor and 8MP auto-focus camera.
HTC Droid Incredible 2 is a stylish and very capable smartphone. The fast processor and the 4-inch capacitive touch screen make browsing experience easy and smooth. Though it's not the biggest screen on the market it offers good, vivid picture and nice colors. Contrast is not on the brightest side but it is good enough for viewing your content even in sunny daylight conditions.
                 

MSI Wind Top AP1920

MSI Wind Top AP1920 review - price, features and specifications

The MSI Wind Top AP1920 all in one PC is a very interesting device. It combines personal computer and home entertainment in one, including a TV tuner (additional) and few more interesting features.

    
The MSI Wind Top AP1920 has a very bright and clear 18.5-inch 16:9 wide screen which suits best for the kitchen or kid's room. It's very big so it is not the best solution for watching movies and stuff like that. It will do a great job for a quick browsing of the web (check the e-mail, the morning news etc.) or watching some TV shows in the kitchen while fixing a meal.

Audi A1 test drive and review

Audi A1 test drive and review

Audi A1 has a modern cool profile


Audi A1 is one of the newest members in Audi's model family. It is a compact vechicle which will compete against other stylish small cars like the Mini, Fiat 500 and Alfa Romeo MiTo.
Audi A1 has the distinctive looks of most Audi cars but there are new design features that make it a bit different from what we've seen so far. The car has a profile similar to the one of a Fiat 500 but the A1 looks more muscular and settled than the Italian.
Audi A1 has very ellegant and functional interior with some typical for Audi design elements like the air vents and some other elements on the dash.
Audi A1 is offered with plenty of engine choices - four petrol and three diesel. The 1.2 TFSI is the smallest of all and the biggest and most powerful are the 2.0 TFSI and the 2.0 TDI.

Today we are going to review the Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V which is very capable digital camera that has it all - huge zoom, full HD video recording, amazing 3.0-inch display, 3D and Sweep panorama modes and very good image stabilization.
