Atlona’s HDAiR Wireless USB-to-VGA / HDMI adapter gets audio |
The Atlona HDAiR Wireless USB-to-VGA/HDMI Adapter launched earlier in the year, but it was missing one crucial ingredient: Audio. Well, now it has audio in this latest incarnation.

MSI’s all-in-one Wind Top AE2220 just arrived in the States. We can only assume that it arrived with all the fanfare of the Beatles arrival so long ago. And why not?

The desktop computer got its name because at one point the machines all sat on top of the desk rather than beside it as most do today. Dell has announced that its new Zino HD computer is now available in the U.S. and is sized to sit on the desktop again.
Most LCD monitors don’t feature a built-in webcam. Acer’s latest, giving their monitor family a boost, the H243HXB does just that, with a CrystalEye webcam.
Here’s yet another gadget aimed at women from a company who thinks that making it look like a cute little purse will have them selling like hotcakes. It looks soft and frilly and goes with your bag so of course you’ll love it right? Probably not.
If I was the type that had a small amount of space or needed a screen that could pull duty as a TV and work for my PC, the SyncMaster P2770HD would be on my short list. This slick monitor was announced today by Samsung in Korea, but it should be coming stateside as well.
Sony is releasing three new laptops, all part of the Vaio Fall-Winter Signature collection. The Sony Vaio VGN-FW590FFD comes with a 16.4-inch LCD display, 4GB of RAM, 500GB hard disk drive, a 2.53GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 processor and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics.
