Battery capacity has proven to be a serious barrier to true mobile computing. Tim Dean looks at how the technology is evolving.

It’s one of the facts of the gaming hobbyist’s life: cutting edge games require cutting edge hardware. It’s as set in stone as Moore’s Law (which is itself now 40 years old). Every 12 to 18 months you need to upgrade or get left behind. Our contenders this month make a very good case for starting with a clean slate, and none more so than this month’s winner, the Modtech Civic-64FX.

The entire industry is moving towards dual-core technology, but why? Tim Dean looks at some of the reasons for the shift.
