Mobile Battle: Laptop vs Tablet
 
 
Yes, every man and his dog is talking about the iPad. But when it's your precious hard earned dollars on the line, there's a serious choice to made. Would a tablet really serve you better, or are you better off choosing a laptop? In this issue we've made answering this question our priority. You can read about the advantages and disadvantages of both. And you get a decision chart to help make sure you make the right choice. If you're overwhelmed by prices, features, specifications and promises, this is where to start.
 
The Top 100 Tech
 
 
It's like the Top 100 albums of all time, substituting Let it Bleed for Peer to Peer Networking.
 
Big guns roll out 
 
 
We know more than a few of you are performance freaks. We're seeing some excellent Sandy Bridge systems roll through our labs. This month we put two Alienware monsters through our benchmark regime.
 
Superzoom cameras
 
 
These cameras boast incredible zoom, but they're not DSLRs. Our group test sorts out the best of the bunch.

This month, John Gillooly gives you the lowdown on what you need to get started building your own AMD Fusion system.

This month, we sort out your PC problems, from the complexities of RAM ranking, unwanted boot menus, and inaccessible drives.
 
Publish your own Kindle eBook
 
 
We show you how.
 
PC workshop
 
 
It's like the tool shed for PC owners. This month, we get stuck into overclocking your CPU.
 
The software DVD
 
 
Photo editing software can be expensive. This month you get free version of Ashampoo Photo Optimizer, which lets you make quick edits fast, without bogging you down in unnecessary features. You can optimise photos, convert to black and white, adjust brightness and contrast and more. There's also Paragon System Backup 2010 SE, and the latest installment of Doctor Who: Blood of the Cybermen, plus drivers, utilities and more.

For a computer MAG that was unbiased you would thing you would also have an Android app for the Android powered tablets...

I am a regular reader of the print version of this magazine and I agree with ThomsonPC 100% this isn't MacWorld is PC and Tech Authority where is the Andriod version?

Perhaps they are waiting for Android tablets to gain sufficent market share to be a viable market. (Just a thought)

If the sales volumes were reversed, would you be demanding they immediately release an iPad version?

If you read reviews in the mag, you can hardly call it MacWorld, there is an apparent editorial bias in favour of Android.

The iPad version is there for the simple reason, it is almost the whole tablet market at the moment, like it or not.

Are you also demanding they release versions for any Linux and Windows tablets also?
