Shock! PC manufacturers come up with "almost as thin as MacBook Air" notebooks with… more features!
OK, even most hardened Apple fans (like me) know that the MacBook Air isn’t really that much thinner than some of its PC competition, and it packs a lot less functionality than its MacBook Pro brethren, so it’s hardly surprising to learn than PC notebook manufacturers are already lining up some Air killing variants of their own.
Apparently, PC Pro “is currently testing a notebook from a major manufacturer that is only a few millimetres thicker that the Air, but sports an optical drive and a handful more ports”.

Shiny Website Review: Raffle.it – the online raffle and discounts portal
To be honest I'm not really a great fan of online discount and competition sites, often because they're laden with requests for personal information, ads for gambling site trials, or the discounts aren't worth much. However, when Craig Chuter,…
