Reviewed on June 22, 2010Panasonic's quartet of entry-level HD camcorders--the HDC-HS60, TM60, TM55, and SD60--delivers a nice manual feature set and good performance, as well as solid video quality for their class. As long as you don't pay list price, the SD60 is a great value, and if possible, avoid paying the unnecessary price premium for the hard drive in the HS60.TAGS:Panasonic, camcorder, connector, switch, design, LCD, hard drive, video, photograph
Reviewed on May 5, 2010Though other external hard drives offer a preset menu of ports, the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex cuts costs by letting you pick from a buffet of "personality cables" so that you buy only the connections that suit your system profile. We applaud Seagate for making data backups easier than ever, and recommend the FreeAgent GoFlex external hard drive for extra data storage now and easy upgrades in the future.TAGS:Seagate Technology, Seagate FreeAgent, USB 2.0, FireWire, external hard drive, Apple Macintosh, USB, NTFS, Apple Mac OS, hard drive, connection, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on June 24, 2010Though the new Xbox 360 certainly addresses most of the concerns we've had with the versions before it, we don't think it warrants a purchase if you already own an Xbox 360 in working order with an HDMI-out port and a hard drive.TAGS:Xbox 360, Microsoft Xbox, console, Wi-Fi, Microsoft Corp., hard drive, games
Reviewed on November 8, 2008The Belkin N+ Wireless Router is a great performer with excellent range and throughput speed. If its bulky design and lack of 5GHz frequency support don't put you off, the router is worth every penny of its $100 or so price tag.TAGS:Belkin N+, Belkin Corp., router, IP address, IP, port, Linksys, USB, server, hard drive
Reviewed on May 27, 2010The flash-based Panasonic HDC-TM700 and its hard-disk sibling, the HDC-HS700, stand out for their low-light video quality and broad set of manual controls. However, while the TM700 is very attractively priced for its class, the HS700 is not, and not worth the price premium unless you absolutely need the hard disk.TAGS:Panasonic, camcorder, LCD, battery, hard drive
Reviewed on October 26, 2008The D-Link Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router DIR-825 is a stable performer with great features and an excellent Web interface. The outdated and bulky design, relatively short range, and merely average throughput, however, lessen its appeal.TAGS:D-Link Systems, router, USB port, frequency, external hard drive, hard drive
