Steve shows us the Lenovo Tablet PC. No longer do you need to rely on your keyboard to input information – the X61 has fully integrated pen-based functions, allowing you to write directly onto your computer! This new PC is ideal for users who need an ultra-portable notebook but refuse to sacrifice durability or performance.

Steve then explores the world of VOIP, or Voice-over-IP. He looks at Vonage’s V-Portal, which enables you to check your messages on line from anywhere you have an Internet connection.

On this episode of Dotto Tech, Steve demos the HP C6280. This little multi- functional printer has a dual layer paper tray, so you can have both photo paper and regular paper loaded at the same time. Now you won’t print your documents on your pricey glossy photo paper by mistake.

In this show Steve looks at the Epson R1800 and R2400 Printers. These are high end printers designed primarily for the serious photographer. Steve also looks at the Alienware laptop and desktop computers that are custom built for the serious gamer.  If you’re about to or just got a new computer then you’ll want to pay close attention to Steve’s demo of PC Mover by Laplink where he shows you how easy it is to move the contents from your old computer to your new one. On Tech Toys Caroline looks at Trackstick, a GPS logging gadget that keeps track of where you’ve been so you can have a virtual record of your journeys. 

Steve takes you on a tour of a laptop that’s rather out of the ordinary this week, Lenovo’s X41 Tablet PC. Tablets allow you to take notes out in the field quickly with a pen-based interface, before the software converts handwriting to text. And the coolest part? A hard drive designed to protect itself in the event of an accident.
