Lexus GS product review
Test drive and video review of the all new 2013 Lexus GS
Lexus GS product review - the latest generation Lexus GS is not just an upgrade or a facelift but a completely new model with new exterior design and much different cabin space.
 |
| 2013 Lexus GS |
The
exterior of the 2013 Lexus GS is much more aggressive than the previous generation. Now there are more curvy elements that make the GS look sporty but still very elegant.
As a typical member of the business luxury segment Lexus GS offers all the comfort features that one can imagine. The
interior space and the dashboard are also brand new for this model. Now all panels and instruments feel more upmarket, with no cheap plastics anywhere in the interior. The new GS is offered with the biggest navigation screen ever put in a car in this segment - over 10-inch display that offers all the info about the vehicle status, maps and multimedia.
Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T review
Price, features and specs of the Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T tablet computer
Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T review - today at For consumers blog we are going to take a closer look at one of the better portable computing solutions. Unlike most regular tablets the Series 7 Slate tablets offer the full functionality of a laptop in a relatively compact size. The best thing about Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T is that it doesn't use any version of the smartphone operating systems which aren't that good for advanced users but has a fully featured Windows 7 OS.
 |
| Samsung Series 7 Slate |
As thin and light as a tablet but with the functions of a notebook, the
Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T allows the user to take advantage of the familiar interface and full productivity of Windows 7. Its 64 GB hard drive, hardened glass 11.6-inch (29-cm) screen, and Wi-Fi connectivity allow the Samsung Slate to do anything a laptop can, but the Slate 700T has the advantage of a highly responsive touch screen with either finger control or full size stylus. Weighing just 890 g, the
Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T is not much heavier than an iPad, but its attractive, burnished metal lines encase a quad-core Intel Core i5-2467M processor and full 4 GB of RAM. And for lightning quick start up, the Samsung Series 7 Slate 700T uses solid state memory, which helps explain its sylph like 12.9-mm thickness.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V sample photos
Images taken with the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V super zoom compact digital camera
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V sample photos - here are some sample photos taken with the very nice 16MP Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V. As you probably know this camera was awarded the best camera in this class for 2011 and it is still one of the most popular super zoom compact digital cameras.
These pictures are taken on daylight and some on direct sunlight. The 16x zoom is a very nice feature but I used only from 2x up to 5x for some images. All photos are taken with the intelligent auto mode (only the first one with the green grass was taken with a unfocused background scene mode).
As you see the photos made with the
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V are nice and clear, with vivid colors and are among the best in this price segment. Some say they are very close to entry level DSLRs but of course this is a complete different class.

HP Pavilion G6 laptop review. The 15.6-inch budget model line of
HP Pavilion laptops is very popular not only because of it's affordable but because
HP makes some of the best laptops in the world. Of course there are many examples where HP laptops really fail against the strong competition from Dell, Toshiba and Asus (like the really unsuccessful HP DV series). As you probably there are so many
cheap Toshiba laptops currently on the market.
