 Filed under: Hardware — May 6th, 2008

SteelSeries 7G, designed with 18-karat gold-plated mechanical switches, sets new industry standards for advanced key combinations and Actions-Per-Minute (APM). This translates into quicker reaction times and stronger results.

The SteelSeries 7G keyboard sets a new industry standard for gaming keyboards by allowing users to perform at new levels with advanced key combinations. Utilizing a powerful PS/2 buffer-system created specifically for gaming, the SteelSeries 7G keyboard eliminates “anti-ghosting” by supporting as many simultaneous key press commands as there are keys on the keyboard. What this does, for example, is allow users in a first person shooter game to walk, crouch, aim, fire and check the scoreboard simultaneously. Traditional keyboards do not allow this much functionality all at once.

Itona TC23, a $199USD computer, runs Linux or Windows CE and uses thin client technology, such as Citrix, to remove the need for an expensive PC with disk drives on each desk, instead utilising a company’s central server to provide documents and software. Users still have access to all the standard office software, such as word processing, email, web browsing and spreadsheets.

Cheap computer for corporate

The TC23 is diskless, does not allow users to load their own software, does not store data, and is immune to regular Windows viruses. The machine is also far more reliable than a PC – there are no moving parts such as disk drives or fans. The company provides a 3-year unlimited warranty on its products. The ultra-quiet computer is the size of a hardback book and consumes just 11w of electricity.
