In case you missed it, Acer has quietly worked its way up to No. 3 in the global PC market, no small feat. What we discovered in Budapest was that Acer has no intention of slowing down.

According to Acer, desktop PC growth year on year has shrunk to a miserable 1.7% while mobiles are up at 35%. On that basis, Acer speculate that desktops will return to their space saving place on the desk where they will be expected to perform at gaming levels while being quiet and innocuous; a far cry from the behemoth dust breeders that glow ominously under our desks for the now. That said, it seems mobile is where we can expect to see most of the action.

In addition to targeting the market leaders, specifically HP’s product spread and Dell’s successful online strategy, Acer are also taking shots at other players such as Asus and specifically the Notebook market. While it is very debatable, Acer hinted that they began development the Aspire One before Asus got cracking on the Eee but decided to hang back and wait for the Atom rather than release 16 different models. While the price of the One is borderline it certainly is a better quality machine, but will anyone care?

Acer then, have their PC bases covered at the top with the Predator and at the bottom with the Aspire One, but it’s what happens in-between that is very interesting. You might be acquainted with the Packard Bell brand, hopefully via some poor relative who got suckered into one from a retail store. Over the years they have improved vastly but for the longest time they were the bane of IT pros for holding out on desktops over towers, mystery components and insistence on making their machines semi-proprietary. This generally meant irreplaceable components, missing drivers and lots of swearing when they committed sewage pipe, plus they were butt-ugly.

Why this walk down memory lane? Well Acer has recently gobbled up Packard Bell as well as two other mediocre brands; Gateway and eMachines, but instead of slowly eating the competition they have opted for a multi-brand approach to the market. Multi-branding is not something that is often seen in the IT world but basically it involves keeping the respective brand’s identities and spreading them across every price point and market segment. In motoring terms it is akin to VW, Audi, Bugatti and a few more being part of one big company and while they do overlap at points they have blanketed the market. In this case; Packard Bell and Gateway will tackle the market segments who are concerned with so called style (yuck!), while Acer will be the premium brand across the board.

Despite our prejudice towards Packhard Bell, there is nothing wrong with their latest offerings especially some of their gaming rigs. Acer’s legendary support could most likely be applied to a rock and it would sell, so the blanket strategy could be a clincher.

Global domination aside, there is one product that eclipses everything else: the Predator. Unfortunately the local Predator launch was steeped in semi-naked models, COD4 and free grog. I am told that apparently there where machines on display too. Thankfully we have played with the Predator since then and simply put; it is out of this world.

Acer started off by trying to tweak existing hardware into something high performance; but as was to be expected, cooling became a major issue. In March of 2007 they commissioned their Taiwanese contingent to build an absolute monster, again with existing components. The results came back positive for fail and since it was too late for the 2007 market they decided to scrap the whole plan and start from scratch, this time however they got it right.

In October 2007 they went back to the drawing board with the modus operandi of cost being least important. What they came back was a water-cooled, Quad Extreme QX9650, Triple SLI (9800 GTXs) monster, complete with 8GB of RAM all housed in one of the sexiest cases we have ever seen. The entire system was made possible thanks to a custom motherboard and case that is so efficient that overclocking is not only possible but encouraged. But Acer didn’t stop there, their proprietary system and the warranty will gladly accept extra parts and upgrades even if they aren’t from Acer. Expect to pay around $5000 for the top of the range Eliminator although there will also be several different versions and price points, including the blue AMD setups. Look out for a review as soon as we get our mitts on one.

Go Baby, Go

One of the most notable statements made in Hungary was that computer gaming still eclipses the console industry. Since inception, personal computers have always been work tools first and enthusiast toys second. When a company like Acer boldly says the future of desktops is gaming and performance and supplies products like the Predator to back them up, we get all warm and fuzzy inside.

When discussion around sports cars, it is central to nominate the distinction amid cars which own been produced solely representing this use, and customary road-going vehicles which own been modified to pull off sports car performance. One notable illustration of such a vehicle is the admired Golf GTI cycle.

Generally speaking, the expression ‘sports car’ refers to vehicles which cover the following characteristics:

* 2 seats

* 2 doors

* Rear-wheel drive

* Light-weight

* Low ground clearance

* A powerful engine (although this is not essential)

Many classic British sports cars such as the MG string comprise lacked powerful engines. However, due to their light frame and carcass, they still managed to attain exceptional levels of ride, management and performance.

True sports cars are vehicles which give birth to been individually designed to be fun to drive, with horrible behavior and ride simultaneously with soaring performance. All the rage many personal belongings, these qualities are attained by the expense of sensibleness, driver comfort and fuel budget. However, many enlightened sports cars allow the driver the broad sports car experience, exclusive of compromising on sensibleness, reliability or comfort.

Sports cars go in a add up to of guises. In vogue their simplest form, they are designed for a hardnosed ‘pure’ racing experience. One of the superlative examples of this type of sports car is the Lotus Elise. Although wanting in the kind of specification and equipment single would normally expect from a road-going car, the Elise is single of the on the whole fun to drive cars around.

At the other top of the climb, luxurious models such as persons unfilled by Aston Martin and Bentley grasp spectacular performance, whilst on the same while offering a truthfully luxurious and decadent driving experience.

Traditionally, owning a sports car was a costly situation. Early incarnations were minus than unswerving and were disreputably inherent. They moreover lacked the refinements we grasp get here to expect from enlightened vehicles.

Nowadays, due to advances in knowledge, sports cars are as responsible and comfortable as passenger cars. This wealth with the aim of their owners can quite happily waste them everyday.

British sports cars

Although not any of the British sports car manufacturers are promptly independently and privately owned, Britain can still be proud of its illustrious motorsport heritage. Luxury British marques include Aston Martin, Bentley and Jaguar, while individuals looking on behalf of with the purpose of one hundred per cent racing experience need look veto auxiliary than the stables of Lotus and TVR

Italian sports cars

Nobody makes sports cars with more passion and flair than the Italians. Select allow a rounded range from Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati.

German sports cars

German cars are famed in lieu of their build quality and reliability, not qualities single would normally haunt with a sports car! However, Audi, BMW, Porsche and Mercedes allow a range of luxury cars which are as fun to drive as they are dependable.

Japanese sports cars

Combining fine racing pedigree with the tools and innovation we’ve take place to expect from Japanese manufacturers, Honda’s S200 and Subaru’s Impreza are top off instead of folks who desire a fun driving experience, exclusive of compromising on everyday dependability

Many of us take dreamed of owning a sports car. Thanks to Select Vehicle Leasing’s range of within your means sports car leasing you can force to this fancy a realism.

If you’re new to photography then you probably have read or seen much of the continual debate amongst photographers on whether Canon is better than Nikon or vice versa. Canon and Nikon are the two leading brands of SLR cameras and are continually in a pitched battle to build a better digital camera. The competition is tight and victory in the race ebbs and flows towards both manufacturers every year new cameras cameras are launched.

Let’s get down to the bottom line. We have had enough of this debate and need to look at the reasons. I suppose it’s like whether a BMW is better than a Mercedes or a Lexus is better than an Audi. There will never be a definitive answer for as long as both manufacturers perpetuate the race. Some photographic forums have now banned any discussion around this debate. So why does the debate continue? Is it for the sake of debating or are there factors that need to be taken into consideration.

The following criteria will help you make a decision about which camera is best for you.

1. Personal preference

This is an important one. I admit to being a Canon user because the first camera my Dad gave me was a Canon. I fell in love with it and it became my companion. So I like Canon. I like the way it looks and I like the way it feels to hold. It’s just my personal choice and feeling about the camera when looking at it. Nothing else. The Nikon may be a better camera for all I care but Canon is the one for me. Plain and simple.

2. The Purpose

For what purpose are you going to be using your camera? The reason I include this as one of the criteria is you need to know what the predominant purpose will be be. Both camera manufacturers have a huge range of digital slrs and within those ranges some are better than others for particular purposes. And, that is just within their own brand. So when looking at both brands some will be better for particular purposes. For example you may need a camera that has a fast frame per second rate and writes fast to memory card. Within a particular bracket Nikon might be better in this area than Canon so Nikon would be the one to choose.

3. The Price Range

This is linked to the previous criterion. Within a particular price bracket the one camera may have more of the features you require. So with this price constraint in mind you may need to go for the cheaper range in order to get these features. So perhaps in this price range the better of the two cameras might be Canon.

4. The Conditions of Use

This is a very important one. If you are a traveller you may find that the Nikon in the range you are looking at is more rugged than the equivalent Canon although the Canon has some better features. You would choose Nikon rather Canon because it is more suited to travel. Other factors like dust and moisture seals and will determine which you choose based on the camera that has these features, if you will be using the camera in a more humid or dusty environment.

I don’t think the aim of any manufacturer is to build the perfect digital camera for all situations and conditions. I personally feel it would be impossible probably due to the costs involved. It boils down to the issue of personal choice which usually helps the camera manufacturer make more money. Better to sell two cameras that cover all the needs of a photographer than one.

My advice to anyone needing to make a decision about purchasing a Nikon or a Canon digital camera, is to look at all of these criteria and make a decision for your particular photographic needs. The brand of camera should be the last thing you take into consideration. If you do, you will quite likely find yourself limiting your choice based on preconceived ideas.
