The vibrant world of UMPCs has many players, most of them well-known brands, others less so, but probably deserving our attention just the same. In this category you will find the Ruvo Avox, a handsome slider UMPC. Think of it as a Nokia N95 on steroids, but then a lot bigger! The Avox, whilst practically unknown, has a more familiar incarnation as the Gigabyte U60. Are they exactly the same?
We got ourselves the first Avox in Australia, courtesy of Tegatech, the UMPC distributor par excellence down under. They are excited about that little critter and I am beginning to see why!
Please follow me on this unboxing and our subsequent in-depth reviews of the Ruvo Avox.
First off, the Avox is billed as the smallest full-featured PC. In this fluid world of sub-notebooks and UMPCs that claim is probably correct but bragging rights are never long-lived and it is better to judge a device, particularly when it is this small, by its usability. So that will be the main focus of this and the following reviews.
Today we will be looking at the Avox from the unboxing perspective and go into the hardware details.
A next review will highlight the software and performance aspects to be followed by a write-up of all the various accessories that can be bought separately. | |

The Linutop is a small Linux PC. Of course, if you think the Mac Mini is small, then perhaps the words, incredibly miniscule are closer to the mark.
Running a customised version of xubuntu Linux, this little box could replace your desktop for most common tasks, including what you're doing right now.
And if this wasn't impressive enough in a box slightly larger than a Nintendo DS, the Linutop does it all drawing a maximum of 5 watts - That's less than an energy saver light bulb!

KEYBOARDING CONUNDRUM
In my experience, keyboards are probably the most overlooked piece of
essential computing equipment. For years I have been putting together
computers and for years I have purchased keyboards on the cheap. After
all, a good video card is more important than a decent set of keys to
bash, isn't it?
Wireless Computing's RF-220 Wireless Keyboard begs to differ.

When evaluating a CPU cooler, there are several things to look into. In order of importance, the obvious factor is how well the product actually cools the CPU. And then the next question to ask is how simple is it to install. And then it would also be nice if the cooling solution looked good at the same time. The ZeroTherm BTF90 is a product that provides an elegant-looking cooling solution that aims to nail down all of these key areas and excel in them at the same time.

I have seldom been so enthusiastic about having to review (yet) another mouse as when we received the Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse. The MX Revolution might sound like marketing hype but it is a Revolution in more ways than one. If you can see beyond the initial price shock this is arguably the best all-purpose mouse out there and we will show you why.

Ever heard of Bella keyboards? Unless you are in the video editing
industry chances are slim that you would have come across the exciting
range of digital video editing keyboards that Bella makes.
We chose to review the Bella DV 3.0 Video Keyboard and came away mightily impressed!
This is the only keyboard with a built in jog & shuttle dial. And a built in lamppost!
