We’re approaching the end of 2011, so it should come as no surprise that companies are pushing out their 2012 products. Uniblue is a company synonymous with system utilities and the newly announced 2012 product lines bring a number of important updates to all of the key programs. SpeedUpMyPC 2012, DriverScanner and RegistryBooster are all available as individual tools, but there is also the money saving PowerSuite 2012 which incorporates each of these utilities into a single suite.

As the name hints at fairly strongly, SpeedUpMyPC is concerned with boosting the performance of Windows. This is achieved by optimizing network and hard drive settings, amongst other things, and you are guided through the whole optimization process. Additional performance boosts can be achieved by turning to Uniblue RegistryBooster 2012 which can be used to defragment, trim and optimize the registry. There’s also DriverScanner which automates the process of keeping your system’s drivers up to date.

Each of the tools is useful in its own way, and represents decent value for money, but opting for the PowerSuite package makes the best financial sense as it combines RegistryBooster, SpeedUpMyPC and DriverScanner. All of the programs that make up the suite have been updated to some extent – some more than others – and there is a great sense of unity when they are used together. While it’s not exactly an essential upgrade for anyone who already owns the 2011 versions of any of the programs, for new-comers it’s a great way to get more from Windows.

It’s important to note that Uniblue ship their products as a function-limited demo, meaning you need to pay for a license before you can utilize the functions in full. Existing Uniblue customers will be able to download and install the latest 2012 build using their existing license.
