Got your shiny DirectX 11-enabled Radeon HD 5800 series and you’re itching to stretch its legs? Well then, the newly released demo of Dirt 2 is your best option. While Dirt 2 was released for consoles a few months ago, the wait continues for this still-unreleased PC version. The delay to the PC version was for the sake of graphical enhancements, and if you have a DX11 card, you’ll be able to enjoy some of the new features.

Check out this video from Codemasters that runs through all the little enhancements afforded by this new generation of software and hardware:

The Targus website claims this versatile bag enables you to “change your look, from classic to cool to fun, in just a few minutes”. In reality, this amounts to being able to switch between these strap colours: gray, black and the slightly dubious lime green. Marketing plays aside, this is a good bag. Your 15.4in laptop is held in an elasticated neoprene sling, with good padding providing above-average protection. There’s a second flap giving extra protection to the main notebook compartment, although this adds to the Velcro, but this bag will keep your laptop will protected.
