Lenovo has unveiled its summer lineup of consumer computers. There’s plenty to choose from, so let’s cut the jibber jabber and get down to it.
IdeaPad Z Series
The Z Series laptops start at $649 and are available in 13.3- and 15.6-inch models. The company is positioning these machines as bringing “mobile multimedia to the …
The story goes something like this. Back in 2007, USA Today published an article that said, “AT&T has exclusive U.S. distribution rights for five years” concerning the iPhone. That information proved to be difficult to officially verify and since the first iPhone hit the market, it seems that we’ve been hearing rumor after rumor …
Izzy’s Ice Cream in St. Paul, Minnesota, has just implemented an RFID system used to update its available ice cream flavors in store and over the internet in real time. So if you’re wondering if Mocha Chunka Munka Bean (that’s a thing, right?) is in the dipping cabinet, you can find out before you leave work in the middle of the …
Sony’s VAIO P series is kind of in a category of its own. At 1.4 pounds with a 1600×768 resolution 8-inch screen, the computer packs netbook features into a tiny body while commanding a very non-netbook price tag of $800.
What you get for your money, though, is one of the most portable computers available. Sony’s newest revision to

New Monday, new set of handpicked deals. Walmart has a 42-inch TV for under $500, Woot has a $13 MP3 player that’s almost iPod Shuffle-like in its simplicity and size, and Walmart has yet another aggressive deal with the black Nintendo Wii priced at $199 and bundled with extra controllers and a free bonus game of your …
Here’s a quick rumor for you to take into the weekend. Looks like Toshiba may be working on the world’s lightest 13-inch laptop. It’s reported to weigh just 2.2 pounds, feature Intel’s new Core i3/5/7 processors, and come with something called a “super charged ion battery” that’s capable of recharging to 90% capacity within …
It’s Friday! Maybe you just got paid. You could use that money for boring stuff like bills, rent, and food, or you could act like a wonderfully impulsive consumer and spend it on any number of products. Here are some ideas to get you started based on your taxable income bracket.

Un. Be. Lievable. The familiar Torani-labeled bottles that you see at your local coffee shop come in a wide variety of flavors. Does bacon have to be one of them? Apparently, yes.
I’d consider myself a bacon lover through and through but I draw the line at Torani’s suggestion that I add this bacon syrup “to cocktails, lattes, …
Like the idea of the Kindle or the Nook but don’t want to shell out $260? Borders has you covered with the $150 Kobo eReader. It’s lacking the all-over 3G wireless connections found in its competitors but it costs over $100 less and features a Bluetooth connection that can be used to synchronize it “wirelessly with select …
If you saw a copy of Microsoft Office sitting unattended in a public area, what would you do? I’d think to myself, “Hey I use Google Docs, but Microsoft Office is expensive! I wonder where the rightful owner is. I’ll call Microsoft’s tech support hotline to ask them how to return it to said rightful owner and if they have no idea …
The newly-available 3G iPad is nearly identical to the standard iPad except for a $130 price premium and the ability to connect to AT&T’s cellular data network. Monthly plans range from $15 for 250 megabytes of data to $30 for unlimited data with no long-term contract. So is the 3G iPad worth the extra $130 and, if so, which data plan …
