Hantech Siso Tablo laptop stylus gets reviewed
We just caught sight of Hanwha's Duo laptop stylus a couple of months ago, but it's not the only device out there that promises to turn any old laptop into a pen-accommodating tablet PC, and the folks at SlashGear have now gotten their hands on one of its competitors: the Hantech Siso Tablo. Like the Duo, this one consists of a pen and a Wii-like sensor that sits atop your laptop screen (up to 15.4-inch only), which detects the location of the pen and lets you do everything from drawing and handwriting recognition to controlling the cursor. Best of all, according to SlashGear, the $99 device more or less works just as advertised, and even apparently rivals more expensive gear when it comes to basic design tasks -- or outdoes them, for that matter, since it can also simply be paired with a ballpoint pen and a piece of paper.

Hantech Markus 800 HD Media Center gets reviewed
There are media servers, and then there is Hantech's Markus 800. Easily one of the most beastly and port-filled units we've seen, this high-end media center supports true 1080p output via HDMI and includes a pair of USB 2.0 ports to host lots of local storage. Recently, the unit was taken for two spins over at CD Freaks, and while each reviewer had their own way of saying it, the unit was deemed pretty solid overall. Design and 720p playback were both praised, while the remote was called a "rush job" and 1080p playback seemingly struggled. At €279 ($440), it's hard to recommend for Americans who can easily find similar alternatives for hundreds less, but those in Europe may want to take a closer look.
