  1. Logitech MX Series Mice by fishbert42 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Tom's Hardware has a decent review of the new Logitech MX series of mice (MX300, MX500, MX700). About as in-depth as you can get with something as simple as a mouse, I think.

    Personally i would prefer it if on an AP gave me the option of switching out the card to one with a better antannea or if it broke.

    I don't see how that would be possible.

    More than just drivers, to be an AP, you must send the special, ``magic" code to the Wireless card to tell it to do so. So I don't see how an AP could even potentially allow swapping of cards.

    The poor quality of hardware review sites is fortunately something some sites are aware of...

    Also some follow-up here.

  4. What kind of Reviews are these? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative

    I dont mean to pick hairs here, but these are some very poor quality reviews.

    First of all, I have no idea why you picked the Ahanix Romeo case for linking. This case is almost 2 years old and on top of that it is an incredibly poor design. I am familiar with Ahanix's business tactics and I would not be surprised if Ahanix/ExoticPC simply paid for that review.

    Second of all, what makes the Nexus 101 review so special? It is consistant with the other 200 reviews that rate the overpriced gargbage "very good". Vantec does not sell quality products, but they do not sway reviews unlike other companies. I have no idea why no one mentions the serve disapointments in the Nexus line. Personally, I think the 201 is a much nicer device.

    Ok well, I suppose I better rip on the "brand new" antec case. This is a first generation Chenming case that has also been on the market over 2 years. Chenming is actually working on another revision of this case which should be out mid Q1. Why anyone insisted on reviewing hardware that is older than the website doing the review is beyond me.

    Incredible.
