Gadgetell | Tech News, Reviews, and Interesting Things

If you are reading this I expect that you have noticed the new look, here at Gadgetell. We have been working hard the past three months to roll out this new design right in time for 2008. Though we continue to face server issues, the design and some backend work are both helping to resolve the problem.

As part of the new look you will notice that we switched from a deep red/maroon shade to solid red. We also upgraded the background on the header from silver to gold. The browser/categories have been reworked a bit a as well and we will continue to optimize the listing across the top. Don’t think we forgot about the other categories, they can be accessed via the “More>>“ link on the navigation bar.

New additions include a “Featured Content” area as well as “Gadgetell Originals” in the second and third columns of the page. These will be two spots where you will find content that is 100% exclusive to Gadgetell, whether it be product reviews, unboxings/peep shows, interviews, podcasts, or analysis. Expect these to start populating as we move into CES mode.

LoopRumors believes that Apple is staging a redesign of its Mac Pro systems. The new systems are said to be smaller, with a new cooling system that will direct hot air out the top of the system rather than the back.

The Mac Pro was initially released at last years WWDC conference, sporting the Intel chip and upgraded specs, but an identical housing to the now retired Apple product, the PowerMac G5.

Personally, this is very great news as I plan to purchase a Mac Pro when I’ve finished the long road of saving up for the machine.

“I’ve counted 25+ new topics in this build of the beta, and there is a new design top-to-bottom.”
