Making a bootable USB flash drive for  Windows 8 isn't all that tricky, but it's always nice to find an app that simplifies things. Not only does WinToFlash make the process about as easy as it can get, but it can also create Windows XP, Server 2003, and Server 2008 installers.

The default options make it easy to roll a silent Windows install, or you can flip the custom switch and specify the exact setup parameters you want to use.

The handy app also has one more trick up its sleeve: moving Windows Preinstall environments. PE discs can be extremely handy for troubleshooting and repairs, and being able to painlessly zap them over to a USB flash drive means not having to burn a new copy every time someone's haggard old optical drive decides to chew up your CD.
WinToFlash is a free download and is totally portable. It's an excellent tool to add to your USB-related utilities.N

Projectors have been and are mostly still being marketed at large organizations. The cost of projectors have gone down considerably over the last year and manufacturers are now targeting home users as their primary audience. BenQ, a company, which is widely known in the market for their displays and other PC related products have launched a line-up of projectors designed for home entertainment. One of these are the BenQ W700 that features DLP Link technology which offers 3D content through a single feed.

Design and Build Quality
The BenQ W700 is a slightly large projector and is made entirely out of hard plastic. It has a glossy white and matte dark grey finish. The glossy white adds to the stylishness of the W700. While most of the projector has a white finish, the grey is featured only on the front, back and strips at the side. There are vents that run along the sides and half of the front - this helps in the cooling process of the projector.

The controls are easy to navigate through

At the bottom centre is a push to release stand. The button to deploy feels sturdy. To aid in straightening of this stand are feet that are located at the bottom on the rear of the projector. These feet have to be rotated to get it to its maximum length. Together, with the stand and the feet, this projector can be well-balanced. The focal ring along with the zoom ring are finished in silver and located directly above the W700’s lens. The controls for this projector are located on the bottom right of the top panel. They, like the rest of the top panel are finished in glossy white. The spacing of the buttons is large and within a matter of minutes one can easily use the controls without looking at the pad. The bundled up remote control is black and has a whole lot of controls, which are well spaced out. The build quality of the remote control is good and could survive even after a couple of accidental drops. Overall, the BenQ W700 is a stylishly designed projector that is well-built as well.

Features
The W700 DLP projector has a native resolution of 1280 x 720, which is a 16:9 aspect ratio. This ratio is a common feature found on most displays nowadays, be it televisions or monitors. The brightness levels of this projector are 2200 lumens as rated by BenQ. Apart from this, BenQ claims that the W700 has a contrast ratio of 10000:1.

Large vents help the cooling process immensely
 
The interface is simple to navigate through. The design of it is rather plain with the interface in Grey. A tad bit more colour would make it look better. The default mode when connected to a notebook is the Cinema mode. Other modes included in this projector are User 1, User 2, Game, Bright and Living Room. While tweaking the settings in the default preset are limited, one can easily tweak brightness, contrast, etc in the User modes.

A host of connectivity options

Various connectivity options are found on this projector and the most interesting ones are the two HDMI inputs. These can be used to connect to a home theatre system or a gaming console allowing people to project the content on a large surface. Other connectivity options include component, composite, D-Sub, mini USB, RS-232 as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack. All in all, the W700 has some interesting features that can be used in either a home or a small conference room.

Performance
The BenQ W700 projector was tested using a notebook and all the lights in the room were turned off to get optimum results. We ran the DisplayMate test along with a number of videos to check the performance. Let’s start of by mentioning that this projector does not emit a lot of heat, but the top panel gets a bit warm. Another thing we noticed was that there was a constant low humming sound noticed. Connected to the notebook, we used the default settings to check how well the projector fares out of the box.

Video playback is really good

During the DisplayMate test, we noticed that greys and whites reproduced well in the intensity range test. Black levels noticed were really good and colours were very accurate in the colour contrast test. There was a lot of sharpness noticed throughout all colours and there was a noticeable difference between each scale in the colour intensity scales test. During video playback colours rendered accurately and watching videos through this projector was an enjoyable experience. Out of the box, the BenQ W700 performs really well and there is no need for tweaking, whatsoever.

Verdict
The BenQ W700 sells at a market operating price of Rs. 52,000. The projector is mainly designed for home use and with a price point as such we get back to the debate of whether one should pick up a large screen LCD HDTV or a projector.

Simple yet stylish design
 
While there may be no match for a television as of now, this projector surely closes the gap between the two. While we do not discard the fact that one should not buy an HDTV, if the BenQ W700 falls in one’s budget, this can be a very good solution for a large viewing area home theater setup...N

HP’s Envy 3D notebook has been around for some time now but amongst so many notebooks sporting Nvidia’s 3DVision floating around, it seems lost in the crowd. This is one of the few notebooks that support AMD's HD3D technology which is a rare sight as the desktop segment is also completely dominated by Nvidia. HP currently offers only a single model in the high-end Envy range, which will compete with Asus and Alienware as they sport very similar features and are targeted at gamers. Let’s see if it has what it takes to go up against the big guns.
 
Design and Build
When it comes to design and build quality, it seems HP can do no wrong. HP has paid attention to a lot of detail which shows in the finished design. The plastics and metal used are of high quality giving the Envy 17 a very polished and refined look. There’s an engraved design running throughout the notebook which takes away from the otherwise monotonous colour scheme. The lid is strong and applying pressure doesn’t distort the screen. Other than the design, there’s just the illuminated HP logo down at the bottom. The screen is held securely in place by two hinges that let you tilt it all the way to 160 degrees backwards.

The Envy 17 is not exactly light weight at 3.41kg but it’s really slim for a gaming notebook, in fact it looks more like a regular multimedia notebook from their DV6 line-up. On the left we have a large vent for the exhaust, which can get pretty toasty even in power saver mode. You can’t use the notebook on your lap for too long as it gets hot pretty quickly even when you’re just browsing or not doing anything. Connectors include dual headphone jacks with microphone support for one of them, HDMI, DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet jack, VGA and memory card reader. Our review unit came with a total of four USB 2.0 ports (including one ESATA combo port) but their website states that one of the ports will be USB 3.0. The optical drive is a Blu-ray/DVD combo drive and not a Blu-ray writer.

Due to the size of the notebook, there’s plenty of place to play around with for the keys and trackpad. HP have gone with the chiclet styled backlit keys which includes a proper Numpad as well. The finish and feedback of the keys are really good so no complaints here. The backlights for the keys only have two settings, either on or off and there’s no ambient light sensor so you’ll have to manually enable it. The trackpad is nice and large with a very smooth finish making it effortless to use. Finally, we have the speaker grills that are placed in the front facing outwards.

Features
With a price tag of almost a lac, you’d expect HP to throw in everything but the kitchen sink, sadly that’s not the case. Powering the Envy 17 is an Arrandale-based Core i5-480M processor running at a stock speed of 2.66GHz with the ability to Turbo up to 2.9GHz. With Sandy Bridge being quite widespread now, it’s a wonder why HP is still stuck with the older CPU model. The bundled memory is 4GB but there’s another free slot so you can expand it to 8GB. For storage we have a 640GB hard drive running at 7200rpm. The graphics card used is an AMD Mobility HD 5850 with 1GB GDDR5 memory. This is a high-end DX11 graphics card for notebooks with full support for OpenCL and DirectCompute 11 applications.

The 17.3-inch full HD display is simply gorgeous and supports HP’s Ultra BrightView technology. Since this is a 3D ready notebook, the maximum supported refresh rate is 120Hz. As AMD don’t have any 3D implementation of their own like Nvidia, they have to rely on third party developers which in this case is TriDef 3D. Using their TriDef Ignition software, you can play games in 3D whereas for movies, you can use Cyberlink’s PowerDVD software which comes bundled.

Speaker grills face outwards so it's not blocked by the user
Another highlight of the Envy 17 is the use of Beats Audio by Dr.Dre. The software gives you a little control panel allowing you tweak the audio settings to your liking which includes a graphic equalizer. Apart from the two speakers in the front, HP has included a Triple Bass Reflex Subwoofer which we’ll put to the test a little later.

Overall, HP has done a great job with the build and finish of the Envy 17 that’s only rivalled by some of their other notebooks. But looks aside, does it have the chops to compete with hardened gaming veterans like Asus or Alienware?
