| Toshiba Satellite Pro L830 10J – An Affordable 13.3in Laptop |
| Toshiba’s Satellite Pro range of laptops is designed for business, though you’ll still find some in the line-up that don’t run Windows 7 Professional. That’s the case here. There are six models in the Satellite Pro L830 range, running a mix of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Home Premium. |
|
| HP Envy 6 Sleekbook - AMD-Powered Laptop |
| The processor inside the Envy 6 Sleekbook is an AMD A6-4455M APU with integrated Radeon Graphics, backed by 6GB of RAM. During our benchmarking tests, the CPU threw up an unimpressive score, and on paper it certainly can’t compete on the same level as Intel’s Ivy Bridge series. |

| Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 - Lots Of Backbone |
| There are certain brands, though, that can generally be relied on for excellent results, and Asus is one of them.

| Windows Sever 2003 : Troubleshooting Name Resolution |
| DNS name resolution failure is one of the common causes of Internet access problems. On a network running Windows Server 2003 servers, the inability to resolve DNS names can bring client activities to a standstill because Active Directory relies on DNS and is responsible for controlling all client access to Windows server resources. |
|
| Windows Sever 2003 : Planning DNS Security |
| Although DNS servers perform functions that are intrinsically benign, the possibility of their compromise does pose a significant threat to your network security. Part of the design process for your name resolution strategy is keeping your DNS servers, and the information they contain, safe from intrusion by potential predators.

|
| Windows Sever 2003 : Implementing a DNS Name Resolution Strategy |
| Once you have determined your network’s name resolution requirements and designed your DNS namespace, it is time to actually implement the name resolution services by installing and configuring servers. Toward this end, you must first decide how many servers you need and where you are going to locate them, and then determine how you are going to configure the servers.

| Phanteks PH-TC90LS - A Dual-Tower Animal |
| Phanteks came onto our radar in a big way last month with the PH-TC14PE, a dual-tower animal built to destroy CPU heat. But tower it does: Standing tall at 6.73 inches, the PH-TC14PE requires a decent-sized case in order to properly set up shop. |

| Rosewill BLACKHAWK - Sturdy Reliability |
| Rosewill’s BLACKHAWK mid-tower case has been out for a while, but we only recently had the opportunity to get our hands on one for review. Having spent some time around the case’s larger sibling, the BLACKHAWK-ULTRA and having loved it we jumped at the chance. |

| SAPPHIRE HD 7850 2GB OverClock Edition |
| It seems like forever ago that we reviewed the AMD Radeon HD 7850, courtesy of XFX, but the card has received some significant price slashing and even more significant overclocking since then. Here to help us revisit the 7850 is SAPPHIRE, with its 2GB OverClock Edition. |

| Seagate GoFlex Satellite - Portable Sanity |
| Seagate, though, have a solution, and it is great for people who are on the go, but cannot leave their entertainment (or files) behind. The Seagate GoFlex Satellite is a large storage device that will form the perfect companion for the entertainment junkie's iOS or Android device. |
|
| Asus X501A - Thin And Light Design For Your Personal Expression |
| There are a couple of minor grumbles to address with the X501A. Firstly, despite the 380 x 253 x 31mm dimensions, there’s no optical drive. It’s hardly a stonewall requirement, but we’d still like to have seen it. Next, with only two USB ports (the nippier one is 3.0) you’re going to be limited in accessories and, lastly, storage space exists only in the form of a meagre 320GB HDD. |
|
| CyberPowerPC Zeus-M2 |
| Ultrabooks have been gaining popularity in recent months, as the notebooks designed to meet Intel’s specifications combine the features and performance you’ll find in a traditional notebook with the slim, lightweight designs seen in netbooks and tablets. |
|
| Dell Vostro 3560 - A Chunky, Well-Specified Laptop |
| The screen resolution is one of the best things about this notebook. The model Dell sent us for review comes in at 1,920 x 1,080. Having this many pixels crammed into the 15.6 inch display area makes using the laptop rather a pleasure. |

| Tips & Tricks Of November 2012 (Part 4) |
| The summer sets you free with warm days and balmy evenings, but even the camera seems trapped in the chilly winter: photos do not look warm and appear cold instead. Usually, the camera's automatic white balance is often responsible for this since it attempts to depict colors as neutrally as possible. |

| Users of Firefox on multiple computers will be aware of the annoying process that requires installation of important updates to be repeated on all computers. This issue has been done away with on the new version, Firefox 11 and later. You just need a Firefox Sync account, which the browser makers now offer to users, and can easily be set up. |

| Asus G75V - Big Size, Big Power |
| We love it when people buck trends. OK, maybe this isn't exactly that, because it does fall into a growing category of portable computers, but Asus' G75V certainly doesn't follow the ideas that the majority of notebooks follow these days. In a world where everything is getting smaller and lighter, the G75 enters the fray as a literal and figuarive heavyweight. |
