Some New Gear

As I always say I love reviewing computer hardware and electronics. That is why I really enjoy working on ThinkComputers so much. We have been getting a lot of products in lately, everything from motherboards to LCD monitors. Here are a few of the things that I will be checking out in the next week or so.

You may be thinking that this is just another FM transmitter for your iPod, but this is one of the only FM transmitters that will work with your iPhone. The Griffin iTrip Auto Pilot not only works with your iPhone it also features Griffin’s SmartScan technology that will scan for open frequencies and save them for you.

Ah a GPS…I really haven’t messed around with a GPS unit so it will be cool to check this out. TomTom is one of the best I’ve heard, along with Garmin. Not sure how often I will use the GPS considering I don’t drive that much, but I think it will come in handy sometime.

This has to be one of my favorite products I received lately, The ASUS MK241 24-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor! This will be the 3rd 24-inch display I have looked at and so far it’s the best. The huge 24-inch display will give you a nice large 1920 x 1200 resolution, it also features a 2ms response time, 3000:1 contrast ratio, and has an HDMI input so you can watch Blu-ray movies or play PS3 on it, very cool!

Stay tuned to see these products reviewed on ThinkComputers!

Looking forward to readying the iTrip review. I was in Fry’s this past weekend and got close to buying one.

I hate FM transmitters. Those things get more static then they’re worth. It may be old fashion, but the tape deck hookups sound much cleaner. Of course I have an Aux hookup on my dashboard so I use that.

Nice Monitor and GPS navigation.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like GPS come across TC. I’ve always been looking to buy one for my car .
