Prepaid wireless broadband services is nothing new overseas. But here the concept is new and way past due. Look at this way, there is a strong market for people looking to use a 3G wireless modem for internet access, but not everyone wants to sign up for a 2 year contract. Some people might just need it for 6 months, or perhaps they just dont have the credit required to even get a two year contract. That is where Slingshot comes in. It's the first Prepaid Wireless Broadband service in the U.S. - at-least that we know of. The service costs $59.99 a month for 5GB. Considering Verizon charges ...

HP's Pavilion laptop is a truly affordable laptop aimed at consumers looking for a laptop that is able to handle serious multimedia tasks as well as gaming. Configurations for the dv5z start at $579.99, so we were doubtful that a sub $1000 laptop could handle such tasks, but we went ahead and gave the dv5z a spin to see if it could actually be an affordable laptop that doesn't sacrifice too much performance wise. We ended up being pleasantly surprised. Design / Build Quality The overall design of the HP Pavilian dv5z is sleek yet professional. It's combination of onyx/chrome glossy styling makes it look like an entertainment notebook with professional ...

We here at Chip Chick report on accessories and cases A LOT. Whether it be for laptops or iPods, but until now you could only go to each specific company to purchase and browse what they have.

It's a one stop shop to look at all the selections so ...

Using a privacy filter to block prying eyes has its pros and cons. One major con is that it may block people from seeing your work but on the otherhand it could strain your eyes as well make the screen dimmer, making it harder for you to see. So how do you resolve this problem? Well the folks at Camera Bellows created what is called Screen Shades. Sort of reminiscent of what old cameras looked like in the 1800's. The flexible guards can go on digital cameras, laptops, and LCD screens. It may seem strange when you put this rather large shade on your screen but it will ...

This time it's Toshiba Canada who has partnered with Best Buy Canada to produce a special pink edition of their 13.3" Portege laptop. The laptop is not quite an ultraportable, nor is it the cutting edge, but at 4.6lbs it's definitely a decent lightweight offering, especially amongst the current pink laptop options out there.

At first glance, the Sirocco laptop bag seems like a big and boxy tote bag. But sometimes big and boxy is just what you need and you didn't even know it. It easily fits my 13" inch MacBook with ease and room to spare. It can hold up laptops up to 15.4" inches. The exterior is made out of a crinkly nylon material that reminds me of a ripstop material. It makes cleanup a cinch if you're a klutz like me, should you accidentally spill something. The bag is lined with a nylon interior all around. [gallery=67] If you've read my past reviews, you'd know how much I love pockets; the ...

The new Sony Vaio Z series is so slick, it will even make some Mac users have a wandering eye. Weighing less than 3.5lbs with a Blu-ray drive, Core 2 Duo processor, and 13.1 inch display with a 1600x900 resolution - it's one ultra-portable laptop that knows how to pack a punch and look good at the same time. But what we're especially excited about is that Dynamism is offering the Z90 with custom etchings on its carbon case. You can choose from Botanical Garden, Gothic Arabesque, or Line Forest. The etchings adds a level of style to the laptop that makes it look like a million bucks. Pricing ...

Last week we were drooling over the Vivienne Tam Digital Clutch Notebook that we just couldn't wait to get our hands on! Well we didn't have to wait too long. We had our chance to get up close and slightly personal with it last night. The pictures don't do it justice and it really is even more beautiful in person. The peony design is striking but Vivienne is still putting the final touches on the keyboard, that we were not allowed to see. Its anticipated release will coincide with the Chinese New Year in January '09 and it will be affordable according to HP. We can't wait!

Fashion week is mostly known for its high end fashion and celebrity sightings. You never see anything remotely gadgety on the runway except for the disco balls or strobe lights for the shows.

The special edition laptop represents the first time a major high end designer and computer company joined forces to not only present a notebook that is stylish but also super portable - in addition to premiering during fashion week in Bryant Park.

Ice Red has proved to be a reliable company for sturdy cute bags such as the sporty chic messenger bag we reviewed last year.  The "Shine" laptop bag is a design anomaly for Ice Red.  It is feminine, glossy, and bright!  In this transition to blunt fashionista bags, they didn't lose versatility or sturdiness.  In fact, they cleverly incorporated it to their advantage.
