The Idea S2110 takes what Lenovo is best known for (keyboards) and pairs it with a sleek, thin, and light tablet in a package that easily replaces a laptop for light work. Lenovo’s tablet is fairly run of the mill specs-wise, loaded with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 running at 1.5 Ghz, 1 GB of […]

Review: Motorola Brings QWERTY Expertise To Sprint With Photon Q
Motorola has long been one of the strongest Android phone makers. While Samsung may get higher numbers and HTC a bit more of the mind share, Motorola’s original Droid for Verizon is arguably the phone that made Android take off as more than just “not iPhone.” The line is so successful that many users dub […]
Review: Lenovo IdeaTab A2109A Fits A Specific Need
Sometimes a 10-inch tablet is too large and a 7-inch tablet is too small. For those Goldilocks circumstances, the few 9-inch tablets on the market can make due. The Lenovo IdeaTab A2109A fits the bill, capable of both content creation and media consumption in a smaller, relatively light, and somewhat cheap package at only $299. […]
Review: Does Kyocera’s Rise Get The Worm?
Let’s be blunt, Kyocera doesn’t have the best reputation as a cellphone maker. Known for making budget phones that feel cheap in the hand, with dated operating systems and limited features, Kyocera is hardly any Techcitement writer’s “go to” company. In fact, we generally consider those phones to be barely a step up from feature […]
Reviews: Toshiba Excite 7.7 Is Pricy, But Appealing
Toshiba’s first entry into the Android tablet market, was a bit of a disappointment. A 10-inch Android 3.0 Honeycomb device, the Thrive looked like someone had seen an iPad and said “I know what this needs. Ports! And a removable battery!” Thrive made for a thick, somewhat cheap-feeling device, and it wasn’t a concept that […]
Review: I’ve Finally Played Enough Guild Wars 2 To Review It — It’s That Huge
When I first started playing MMORPGs, I was blown away. Blown away by the fact that I could be part of something epic and magical and huge. I played Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, The Secret World, and just about every MMO that came out. But I always wanted something more from each […]
Review: Does The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Ultrabook Live Up To Its Legacy?
I’m often asked by friends what laptop they should buy. As my home system is designed around Apple devices, those friends are surprised when I almost always answer, “Lenovo.” My first laptop was a ThinkPad 380. In the almost 20 years that I’ve been using and repairing laptops, I’ve always found the Thinkpad line to […]
Review: SimpleHuman, Making Life Simpler
I was at Pepcom recently and as I walked through the conference looking at all the different kinds of tech being presented there, it occurred to me that while there is a lot of tech for tech’s sake and tech geared towards specific jobs, there was little tech that targets what I do most of […]
Review: Samsung Galaxy Reverb Envokes S III But Echos The S II
Samsung just loves the Galaxy line. With each generation of Galaxy S flagships, Apple’s main rival has spun off countless side devices. When the Galaxy II was the flagship, there were a bevy of original Galaxy S-based devices. Now that the S III is king, I keep hoping that we’ll see S II generation technology […]
Review: BioLogic ReeCharge Case For iPhone And Bicycle Mount Holds Its Own
In my last article about how technology is bringing bicycling into the 21st century, I stated that much of that forward push is from accessories. A big part of smart phone accessories is cases to protect your smart phone from everyday bumps and drops, but also from the elements and from hardcore, physical activities. I spent this […]
