Review: Brother DCP-T500W

Brother DCP-T500W

MRP: Rs 12,150

It seems like every printer manufacturer is on the “separate ink tanks” bandwagon, and Brother is no exception. Brother has been in the printer and MFD industry for quite some time and has usually catered more to offices than to home users. The DCP-T500W also targets SoHo consumers, but it has features such as a considerably affordable pricing, wireless connectivity, and photo printing that should also entice home users. I had a chance to review the unit. So let’s find out how well it fares.

Lenovo YOGA 3 Pro (256 GB SSD)

Price: Rs 1,15,000

Ultrabooks are known to be slim and light. At the CES this year, Lenovo introduced the YOGA 3 Pro, which is 17% slimmer and 14% lighter than its predecessor. Of course, at the name suggests, it can perform yoga, that is it is flexible enough for the screen to fold backwards to give it a tablet-like form factor. Powered by the latest Intel’s Core M-70 (Broadwell) CPU, this is a completely fanless laptop, meaning no moving parts, and consequently should result in a better battery life. It has an insanely hi-res touch screen, complementing Windows 8.1. Let’s take a look at the Lenovo YOGA 3 Pro in details.

Review: Creative T50 Wireless

Creative T50 Wireless
Price: Rs 18,000

Creative has been in the home audio scene since quite some time.

The company has come a long way since then but it still produces some of the best stereo desktop speakers. The new T50 Wireless, as the name suggests, are wireless speakers – that is they work with Bluetooth devices as the audio source. Unlike the modest stereo speakers a couple of decades back, these are premium lifestyle speakers and are also priced as such. Read on to find out if they are really worth the extra expense.
