CES 2009: 'Military' Power Supplies from In Win

Author: Cássio Lima Date: January 14, 2009 - 4:23 PM PST Category: Power More Info: http://www.in-win.us/products_power.php It seems that manufacturers are now more worried about the visual appealing of their products. Super Talent for instance, made an agreement with Paramount Pictures to roll out USB flash drives inspired by The Godfather film. Lian Li showed a case that is more similar to the famous Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai than to a computer case. These are only some examples that confirm the manufacturers’ trend to put on the market products with a more visual appeal. Following this trend during this CES In Win showed a power supply series inspired by the Army with 550 W, 650 W, 750 W, 850 W and 1,200 W models. click to enlarge Print Version | Send to Friend | Bookmark This News | Permalink | Comments (0) top

CES 2009: Cooler Master also Releases a Universal Laptop Charger

Author: Gabriel Torres Date: January 12, 2009 - 4:19 PM PST Category: Power More Info: http://www.coolermaster-usa.com Just like Thermaltake, Cooler Master also released their version of a universal laptop charger.

This port can deliver up to 1 A. Cooler Master universal charger comes with eight different power plugs in order to match several different notebook models (on the picture below one of the plugs was being used on the laptop on the right).
