Photos: Tesla Motors' new electric roadster

Crave The 450kg battery pack sits right behind the cabin, helping the car maintain good fore and aft weight distribution. It weighs 450kg, accounting for almost a third of the car's weight. We got a chance to test drive one fitted with version 1.5 of the...

Honda FC Sport: Hydrogen supercar concept

Crave In the FC Sport, the electric motor sits just in front of the rear axle, similar to the placement of engines in some sports cars, allowing for good weight distribution. This century, vaunted supercar names such as Ferrari and Lamborghini might be...

LG Flatron W2284F: Nipple-powered monitor

Crave You see, the LG Flatron W2284F has the curves of Beyoncé Sasha Fierce, style like Gok Wan, and -- with a weight of just 4.4kg -- we suspect it may even have one of those trendy eating disorders. LG sent us a rather lovely 22-inch monitor to test...

Apple considering carbon-fibre MacBook Air?

Crave But AppleInsider thinks the company could shave 100g off the overall 1.3kg weight of the Air if it used some sort of carbon-fibre material for the bottom cover of the laptop. Given the weight-loss formula could increase the production costs of the...

Panasonic unveils CF-W8, CF-T8, CF-F8 laptops for the clumsy

Crave All three are 'business-ruggedised' to withstand everyday accidental damage, but their biggest draw is their comparatively low weight. Despite their size and weight, all three are hard as nails, capable of withstanding 100kg of pressure on their...

Photos: RUF's electric Porsche 911

Crave We wonder if RUF has replaced the stock ones with super-light alternatives to help keep the weight down. Like a standard 911, most of the weight is at the rear, which indicates it might have a tendency to oversteer.

Venturi Volage: Watch out, Tesla!

Crave Despite the weight, the Volage is able to -- theoretically -- accelerate from 0-60mph in under 4 seconds. Venturi, an electric car maker from France, has just unveiled a prototype electric sports car that will have Tesla Roadster drivers gazing...

Photos: New MSI Wind U100 gets much longer battery life

Crave Obviously, this adds a tiny bit to the overall size and weight, but you'd have to be a major pedant to hold that against it. The overall weight of the new Wind is 1.26kg, which isn't bad. Remember the MSI Wind -- the netbook we nearly soiled...

How small is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1? This small

Crave What these images don't tell us is anything about is the weight of the camera. The strength of the Micro Four Thirds standard is the compact size of the models that will use it, but the product shots of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 didn't give us a...

Profigold PROV7101: Yes, it is a Scart cable and no, it isn't 1994

Crave More importantly, the cable fitted snugly in the sockets, and despite the weight of the connector didn't look like it was going to drop out of the TV suddenly. Let's get this straight right now; you shouldn't be using a Scart cable at all.

Kohjinsha SX: Netbook in integrated DVD drive shocker

Crave Oddly, the twisty screen and optical drive don't add much weight to the SX3. Last week, someone in the forums asked if anyone made a netbook with an integrated DVD drive. No," we replied, in a fit of ignorance, "that's not possible.

Apple let-downs: What we didn't get

Crave It would've made things a little more fun, sure, but it would've added size, weight and most importantly cost. It was very much an evolutionary step Apple took yesterday -- not so much like robot Kryten becoming human Kryten, but more like the...

Photos: LG Netbook X110, free with a Phones4U contract?

Crave YouTube implodes from the sheer weight of lol. As much as we love netbooks, it's difficult not to be cynical when we see a new one arrive in the UK. That's especially true when said netbook is made by a manufacturer that's previously refused to...

Profigold PROV1015: Long-distance 1080p with 15m HDMI cable

Crave But not just any HDMI cable, a 15m-long Profigold PROV1015, which went some way to explaining the prodigious weight. Yesterday a package arrived here at Crave that weighed as much as a fairly hefty puppy, which was slightly confusing.
