Top 100 Products of 2008

Nos 41 - 50

Intel Atom processor

If 2008 is the year of the netbook, then it's only fitting that the Intel Atom processor is on our list as the chip doing all the leg work for the 8.9 and 10-inch netbooks.

Sony VAIO Z

Classy, sexy and elegant is the extremely portable 13.1-inch Sony VAIO Z that features on-the-fly switchable graphics allowing users to choose between more battery life and performance as needed. Hot!

Cooler Master Cosmos Storm

While the original Cosmos 1000 was pretty impressive, the Cosmos Storm took it up a notch with improved features while keeping the same gorgeous looks.

Nintendo DSi

The overwhelming success of the DS Lite aside, Nintendo's latest DSi is all set to bring in the doubters with its built-in camera, browser and a first to their portable consoles: a SD card expansion slot.

Xigmatek S-1283 Red Scorpion CPU cooler

CPU coolers are dime and a dozen, but Xigmatek's Heatpipe Direct Touch technology on its Red Scorpion adds a unique twist by making the heatpipes connect directly with the CPU instead of via a heatsink plate. Silent and effective, this is a CPU cooler to grab if you're looking at something other than stock cooling.

MSI Wind Netbook U100

While the MSI Wind Netbook U100 wasn't particularly outstanding in our review, it was a great all-rounder and in recent times, we must say that it's been making waves among the enthusiast community for being very mod-friendly. OSX Wind Netbooks anyone?

Nokia N82

The first phone to sport a 5-megapixel lens and a Xenon flash, the Nokia N82 changed the way phones with cameras were perceived. No longer content to play second fiddle, these phones could deliver high quality images comparable to standard point-and-shoot cameras

ASUS P5Q Deluxe

Intel's mainstream P45 chipset has been quickly adopted by many vendors but the ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe stood out from the competition with its strong performance, build quality and well-designed layout. The proprietary ASUS features like Express Gate and Memory OC Charger only enhance the attractiveness of this board.

Razer Mako 2.1 speakers

The Razer Mako is what we call a 2.1 speaker system that isn't like a 2.1 speaker. The Mako created a sound environment that beats most other 5.1 speakers, and packs enough juice in its bass. Steep as it may be, the Mako will also put a few 5.1 speakers to shame.

 BenQ G2400W 24-inch LCD monitor BenQ's 24-inch display gives you plenty of screen realty while keeping things affordable for almost every use you could think of. Office applications, gaming, movie watching, you name it, it's good enough for it.
