The product description claims that this device packs in a full PC into a “normal sized keyboard”. You can tell by looking at this monster that it’s definitely not “normal sized”. Maybe if keyboards have morbidly obese uncle’s? Then possibly the claim could stand some sort of validity.

All nostril flaring aside, even if this keyboard isn’t exactly “normal sized”, the prospect of owning a PC inside of a keyboard sounds promising. Actually, I might have heard of something like that before. It was called a “laptop”. Again, I jest. Pick up your own All-In-One Keyboard PC for between $629 and $1099, depending on the extra crap you want to add-in. Or you can save yourself some trouble and get a MacBook Pro, or wait a few years for something like the Zen PC concept. (more…)

While this new Canon fax machine labeled the JX200 looks very nice, one can’t help to wonder why anyone needs a stand-alone fax machine anymore? Aren’t fax machines so 90’s business room tech? With the thriving of multi-function printers that can fax, scan, copy, and have built-in phones, what is the point of this? There are advantages to having a standalone: the main one being that it does its job well, not a ton of jobs OK. So for specs, the JX200 scans and copies at speeds of one page per six seconds. canon also has said that this fax machine is fairly quite, which is something that is pretty hard to find in printing type devices. There is no doubt that this is a high quality product despite its fair price of $80. Canon does not put out products that disappoint. High quality is all fine and good, but is there a demand for fax machines when you can buy multi-functions that can do so much more for just a bit more of an investment? — Nik Gomez
