CNET have published a review of the Slappa Ballistix Aura Pro travel bag. 'With an exterior made of water-resistant ballistic nylon and 5-mm padded walls on the inner gear bag and most compartments, the Aura feels sturdy enough for airplane travel. The J. Peterman-by-way-of-"The Matrix" futuristic khaki exterior grew on us the more we used it, and the buckle-down outer flap provides a modicum of extra weather resistance, as well as keeping the outer laptop zipper out of sight from would-be thieves. The laptop pocket holds laptops up to 15.4 inches. We tried fitting a 16-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 into it, and it just barely cleared the zipper.'

CNET have published a review of the Tonium Pacemaker 60GB Handheld DJ Player. 'The Pacemaker's design is unchanged from the original model, but still makes our heart race (pun intended) with its minimal, matte black aesthetic. Even after a year of being on the market, the portable audio player's unique multigesture track pad control and LED lit touch strip crossfader can't be found in rival products. In fact, there really aren't any rival products. If you're looking for a professional DJ rig that fits in your pocket--the Tonium Pacemaker is the only game in town. The suggestion that the Pacemaker's eight buttons can accomplish the same tasks as a full-fledged DJ setup would make even the most sleep-deprived club jockey raise an eyebrow. Indeed, unlike in a conventional DJ setup.'
