If you’re purchasing an illuminated keyboard or Webcam C905, you can get a free Z103 speaker for free. You can give two gifts already by just buying one item.

Will you switch to Windows 7?

Prior to the announcement of Windows 7, most Microsoft Windows users would like to stick to Windows XP because of Windows Vista’s performance. The pricing was just announced and Windows 7 will be available on October 22.

Regular prices are as follows:
Home Premium $199.99
Professional $299.99
Ultimate $319.99

Price looks expensive but you can pre-order a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for $49 and a Windows 7 Professional Upgrade for $99 (Estimated retail price).

Benchmark tests have been made comparing Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP SP3. You can check the test results here and here.

The test results suggest that Windows 7 is better than Windows Vista and Windows XP SP3 respectively. This is something that would probably make current Windows XP users to switch to a newer OS. However, would they switch because of the price considering the current economic condition?

The AOC Avio Series, a chat-friendly LCD Monitor

The AOC Avio Series is available in 19″ and 22″ product variants and it’s pitched for those who are into internet chatting. The Avio series of LCD monitors has a built-in webcam and a microphone where users can initiate or participate in video conferencing without the need for an add-on headset.

Aside from the aforementioned features, the said monitor has 3 USB connections. DCR (dynamic contrast ration) and DCB (dynamic color boost) technologies have 3000:1. The color saturation may be enhanced in 5 different settings.

What’s interesting about this monitor is that it supports viewing needs for text, internet, game, movie and sport. All viewing needs are included in the 5 eco modes. It has a 5ms response so that the displayed won’t be blurred even if what’s displayed on your screen has fast moving objects.

The LCD monitor comes with a 3-way adjustable stand where you can tilt it, swivel it and adjust it’s height.

With the features of this LCD monitor, targets are most likely consumers who constantly chat with their relatives overseas based on the sales pitch. What I like about this monitor is that it was built with the general consumer in mind.

Will AOC will be able to meet its target of getting 30 percent of the market share this year in the monitor industry with this new model?
