Barely ten years ago cell phones were still pretty rare, but these days many people can't live without their digital companions. One big problem with mobile electronic devices though is that they consume a lot of power, and this can be a problem if you're going out on vacation, camping or LAN partying because you may not always have access to the power grid when your toys are running low on juice. This is where the Choiix Power Fort comes in handy, it's a compact multi-purpose 10Whrs battery pack capable of charging portable devices that can be recharged through USB.

With the ever expanding use of smartphones and other clever little electronic gadgets, one problem the world is starting to come to terms with is that there is just never enough power to go around. Lugging around chargers can be a real pain, especially if you need a different one for each device. However, Coolermaster have produced what a few others have done, a backup power supply. However, this isn't its first iteration, this new version of the Power Fort comes with a simple USB interface hoping to standardise backup charging. Let's see if it's as effective without the myriad of charge heads.

Unter der Brand Choiix bringt Cooler Master seit April 2008 immer wieder Accessoires für insbesondere mobile Mediennutzer auf dem Markt. So geht es Choiix vor allem darum, Innovationen mit Funktionalität und ansprechendem Design zu verbinden. Nachdem Choiix mit Mäusen, Mauspads und Laptoptaccessoires eher den Markt der Eingabegeräte bedient hat, gibt es jetzt unter dem Namen Power Fort eine Reihe von mobilen Batteriepacks. In diesem Review schauen wir uns die beiden verfügbaren Versionen, welche sich durch ihre Kapazität (5,5 und 10 Wattstunden) unterscheiden, an.

In the perspective of certain people, life is difficult to live. You need to learn how to live independently, learn how to deal with irritating problems as they arise, and develop your ideas on how to survive in society. Others simply view living independently as part of something we must all learn. Some people also believe "irritating problems" help develop character and learn life lessons. As Albert Einstein once said, "A person who has never made a mistake never tried anything new." Whatever stage of life you are going through, I personally would not know. However, personally speaking, I would rather go through the latter described. Considering myself as a technology enthusiast, catching up on some of the relatively new gadgets on the market, let's just say I don't necessarily have the best of luck. When it comes down to electronics, the batteries usually die in a shorter time frame than expected, considering how I like to put everything on full power. Although you might suggest the Choiix Power Fort 5.5 and the original Choiix Power Fort to fix up the issues, the thing is, I might need to stuff my pockets with two or three of each. Looking on the bright side, however, I may not have to spend quite as much now, as Choiix has come up with a bigger and better solution -- the Power Fort 5600. This little guy packs a 5600 mAh battery, while giving an extra charge boot of 2.1A @ 5V. I'm not sure about you, but as for myself, this would keep me on the road for a much longer period of time. Read on to see what we have found!

Gone are the days of monochromatic screens, polyphonic ring tones and battery lives measured in days not hours! As smart phones have developed (particularly since the introduction of the iPhone) screens have become larger, brighter and higher in resolution, connectivity is "always on" and multimedia (be it music, movies or photos) is a minimum requirement. All this technology is wonderful but it has had a detrimental impact on battery life. Try as they might with the latest polymer battery technology, manufacturers are squeezing more features in to smaller physical forms and something has to give. Recharging your phone is now as much a part of the daily routine as cleaning your teeth or styling your hair. Forget to charge your phone and its only a matter of hours before the phone shuts down and you miss that important business call or Justin Bieber's latest tweet on Twitter (OMFG!!).

Portable gaming, mobile phones, GPS navigation units, digital audio players, Bluetooth headsets -- these are all devices we often use on a daily basis (Well, probably not the gaming part, but I would be interested to know what your day job is if that is indeed the case). When we are on the bus, we often pull out the latest gadgets to keep us occupied until we reach our destination. When we do business with our clients, we rely on our smartphones for our on-the-go communication needs. The worst part about traveling to unknown parts of the city is getting lost, so bringing along a portable GPS along would be extremely helpful. But these are just a few examples on how much we rely on these devices every day. Unfortunately, all of them come down to a single common denominator: The battery. Needless to say, when you run out of juice, no matter how high tech your stuff is, you are pretty much out of luck. A few months ago, we reviewed the Choiix Power Fort, a portable charger designed to get your energy-drained electronics up and running again even when an AC power outlet is not readily available. Choiix has come up with yet another creation, but this time, it is smaller and lighter. Much like the original Power Fort, the Choiix Power Fort 5.5 charges all the most common devices we possess. The "5.5" signifies its 5.5WHr battery. From Bluetooth headsets to gaming devices, the Choiix Power Fort 5.5 packs a 1500 mAh Li-Po battery, which is enough for your stuff to last throughout the day. But how does this little guy compare to its brother, which packs a larger 2700 mAh battery? Read on to see how these two compare!

Akku leer und keine Steckdose in der Nähe? Solch eine Situation hatte wohl jeder schon einmal, erst recht mit einem Smartphone. Hier hilft nur das Ausschalten von Bluetooth, GPS, etc. aber das ist auch mehr eine Notlösung. Man möchte ja weiter im Web surfen, Musik hören oder Spiele spielen. Die Brandmarke von Cooler Master mit dem Namen Choiix bietet da Abhilfe und zwar mit einem mobielen Akku namens Power Fort. Es gibt verschiedene Versionen des Power Forts in schwarz und weiß, mit 5.5Wh oder 10Wh - die große Version gibt es in zwei Ausführungen, die sich im Zubehör unterscheiden. In diesem Bericht haben wir einmal den Power Fort weiß in der "Advanced" Ausführung und den Power Fort 5.5 unter die Lupe genommen. Viel Spaß beim Lesen...

While the majority of readers of sites like this will be builders of their own PCs, there are some of you that will always consider purchasing a pre-built one. The reasons for doing so are multitudinous. Not only do you get a professionally built unit, but you get a nice fat warranty and in the case of many, a guaranteed functioning overclock without the need for all that tweaking and testing.
