Suse Studio Alpha Review!

April 7, 2009

Well hello!

I have gotten a quite nice invite to Suse Studio, which allows you to make your own custom Linux Appliance based on OpenSuse.

To say it short, its Linux-Custimization for dummies, free, and it even makes you the VM-Ware M, LiveCD and USB images. You can testdrive it live and customize it even more. I JUST LOVE IT!.

Look at this Picture of my own Personal Linux Appliance called Kelzor (Based on KDE4)

You can choose a wide variaty of software you want on it, customize it to your own look and feel. Dont you just love my logo?

There are more things to improve, like the lack of XFCE and notes funktion/version tracking.

But for an alpha, its pretty darn good and impressive.


AKG K 450 Review – It’s sound is legendary

November 7, 2008

Well this is my second review.
This one will be about a headphone from the legendary AKG, The K450. It is the successor of the K416p which i loved quite mutch.
They have made.. something i cant describe.. its the best portable headset i have ever encountered in my whole life.
Just to say this, AKG.. You guys know how to make truly wonderfull headphones.

So lets start.

AKG K 450 The Review!

AKG and Iphone, dream come true..

AKG and Iphone, dream come true..

Package – What you get for 200 bucks!
)

You get:

  • 1 Hardcase box with zipper for transport
  • Jackplug Adapter
  • Minijack Adapter
  • 1.1m cable
  • 0.8m cable
  • One AKG K 450 with detachable cable.

Unboxed

Build
Well the build is accauly quit good. Its hard plastic surround the aluminium “headholder”. It got cussins on the underside so you get a nice feel on the top of your head when having it on. The Epic 3d axis folding mechanism, and my god you wont belive it!

Awsomenes..

Awsomenes..

The new “Cushins” are awsome, i just love having the headphones on!, And better yet, they won’t come of easy, you need to get beat by mike tyson on the face to accualy get them of your head. They are way better than the K 416p, waaayyy better.

The cord is detachable, Finaly!

The cord is detachable, Finaly!

And i remember back in the days when the audiocord on my 416 got ruined, my life got ruined then. And now AKG has finaly started to release them with detachable cord, so we can change it when it goes “haywire”.

Sound

Ahh yes, the sound. Well lets go into specs here.

  • Frequency range (Hz-kHz) 11-29.5
  • Input impedance (ohms) 32
  • Sensitivity (dB SPL/V) 126
  • Headphones weight without cable (g) 120

Im going to explain fast why these headphones are so darn good.

They go from the wooping 11hz to the nonhearable 29.5khz.
Have a nice impedance of 32 ohm, that means they dont demand mutch and can play very loud even on mp3 players and bad computer soundcards.
They got a wooping sensitivity of 126 fuckings desibels. That means they will play so loud you will destroy your ears! tenfold!.

But how does this affect the general sound?

The sound is quite correct, the bass i jawdropping because of the new cushins. The midrange is quite good, and the trible is just amazing, loads of details. Nerly beating my XTZ 99 2.2 v2006 speakers with the Doxa 70 amplifier.

  • Did i say Tinitus?

Conclusion:
This is the most impressive and goodsounding headphones ever concived for the consumer marked.


Benq E2200 HDA Review

November 6, 2008

Well this is my review of the Benq E2200 HD /A. Took quite some time to get ready to make this one.
But please, im not a rocket scientist in review, just gonna write plain and simple what i like and disslike about it and yes, i do got pictures.

Benq E2200 HDA

Both Screens

Quick Specs:

  • Panel: TN
  • Size: 21.5 inches
  • Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (Yeah 16:9 FFS!)
  • 5 ms / 2ms grey to grey
  • 300 cd/m2
  • Contrast: Static 1000 :1, Dynamic 10 000:1
  • Connections HDA: D-Sub/VGA
  • Connections HD: D-Sub/VGA, DVI-D, HDMI

As you can see the specs are quite heavy for this ultracheap screen, i payed 1500kr / 250 dollars each. But dont worry, they really live up to the hype, cheap screens that accualy work!.
Build
The plastic fantastic

Most of the screen is just plastic fantastic all the way. The foot itself is plastic, but has a handy “cableholder”. But i shit you not.

THis cheapass screen has a fucking VESA…

plastic fantastic

You also cant tilt it so mutch.

Max “Upwards”
up

And “Down”

So general build conclusion:
Its plastic, but VESA-tastic, if you dont like the foot get a new “screenholder?” :D

Screen Quality:
Forwarning, this screen is based on a TN Panel, dont think for a moment that this screen is like the 700buck Samsung one with S-PVA.

pixelmadness

I will just say this.. WOW.. I just love having high resolution, its totaly amazing! And the pixels are reaaally tiny also, nerly laptopish :|

As i only got the Canon G9 and bad lighting i cant really show how the colors are, but if some are interested here are some pics.

Red works right?….

Viewing Angle!

Well since this is a classic TN panel we are all scared of the viewing angel.

Desktop:

General Games:

Viewing angle conclusion: For you infront of the screen it will look wonderfull, people on the floor or sealing wont. People on the sides will watch the porn your running aokay.

LIGHTLEAKAGE!
img_1723
Well this screen has some lightleakage, its not mutch, you have to be a bitch to see it, and you wont care watching porn or gaming CS, WOW, Fallout.

Grand Finalè:

This screen beats the shit out of every other screen i have seen in the 22 “cheap range”

The Postive:

  • The Colors are amazing.
  • Black is pretty.. black?
  • 1920×1080p / 16:9 screen for Computer use.
  • It got VESA of you want another holder.
  • For a TN panel the viewingangle is quite good.
  • You get fucking 2×21.5 inches (3840×1080) for the price of 1x 24 inch (1920×1200)
  • And the screen looks good :)

The Negative:

  • The buildquality aint the best, its all plastic-fantastic
  • Got lightleakage like the rest of the cheap screens
  • Only VGA on the “HDA” edition
  • Dynamic Contrast is crap, so dont have it on.

FInal Word:

Well this screen is tha shit, and will be the current Bang for the Buck screen. Dirt cheap and delivering a quite good picture and amazing resolution for a 22 inch “cough 21.5 inch cough”.

If you want a new screen, 22 inch, i would recommend the this one, but the HD edition, because it got HDMI and DVI also. But jesus christ, this screen is awsome.. get it folks, you wont regret.
