Unless you live in a hotel room or have a daily maid service, a vacuum cleaner is one of those must-have appliances. Choosing the right vacuum can be an important decision, as most people expect their vacuum cleaner to outlast their carpet, and there are quite a few to choose from, ranging from expensive vacuums filled with fancy science, to affordable models that simply get the job done, to robots that do all the work for you.
Whether you prefer your media in a lossless FLAC format or as a compressed MP3, your listening experience is only as good as the pair of headphones you’re using. When finding the perfect set of headphones, there are a handful of criteria to base your choice on, such as lightweight hi-fidelity for the audiophile, the mobile convenience of wireless, or sturdy surround sound for the gamer/movie connoisseur.
Wireless home networks are becoming fairly commonplace these days. Some households even have high-speed Wireless-N networks in place, so it’s no surprise that many HDTVs, Blu-Ray Players, and game consoles feature integrated wireless support, along with DLNA capabilities.
What is Google Cloud Print?
Google Cloud Print is a brand new service that allows you to associate printers with your Google account (such as a Gmail account) and print from virtually any internet connected device. Currently, Google Cloud Print is only available on mobile devices using Chrome OS, Gmail for mobile, and Google Docs for mobile, but Google is working diligently to integrate the service with many other products and hopes that printers in the near future will include Cloud Print as an integrated feature.
It used to be that a printer was a printer, and a scanner was a scanner, and apart from giant expensive corporate printers, if you wanted a printer/scanner/copier, you pretty much had to buy each one separately – that is, until the All-in-Ones came around. At first, they weren’t exactly budget friendly, but over the past few years, their prices have dropped so much that you can get them just as cheap as a plain old printer. Of course, there are quite a few All-in-Ones to choose from, so we’ve put together a list of some of the top printers here on alaTest.com.

Within a year of their creation, Netbooks occupied a whopping 20% of the entire laptop market.

There is a huge convenience in condensing two devices down into one. Still, you can’t help but wonder whether or not your Smartphone really does make a better MP3 player than a dedicated device. Smartphones offer one significant advantage over MP3 players: a mobile data connection. You can download and stream music, so you’re not limited to the songs you can fit on your device. The iPhone and Android phones also have the advantage of well stocked App stores for all sorts of multimedia, productivity, and gaming applications (something only a few MP3 players offer).
