A closer look at the HTC Shift from Sprint

HP Mini 5101 (Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, XP Home Basic)

When we heard that HP was making some big changes to its small business Netbook, we were worried. After all, the current version--the Mini 2140--is probably our all-time favorite Netbook, thanks to an innovative keyboard (since adopted by HP's consumer Netbooks), full ExpressCard slot, and solid metal construction. This...

AVADirect Clevo D900F Core i7

AVADirect isn't hiding the fact that the Clevo D900F Core i7 desktop replacement laptop isn't its design. Actually, the system builder goes out of its way to let you know it's a white-box PC by leaving Clevo--the name of the OEM/ODM company responsible for making the laptop--in the model's name....

Yukyung Viliv S5

Can Netbooks be even smaller than they already are? The answer is yes, but at a cost. Viliv, a Korean company, has developed what is essentially a Netbook PC packed into a case that's not much larger than a personal media player, a continuation of a trend of UMPCs (ultramobile...

Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725

On the outside, the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725 is identical to all the other recent X305-series models we've looked at, so if you can't stand the bold design, there's little chance you'll care what's inside. But, if you're down with shiny flame graphics, the X305-Q725 is loaded up with high-performance parts,...

Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q706

There's no doubt about it: the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q706 is not your average desktop replacement/mobile gaming system. Bedecked in flames and shiny bits and glowing with red lights (what the company calls its "Fusion Finish with Rogue pattern"), the design is no doubt an attempt to express the power that...

Fujitsu LifeBook A6120 (2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400)

The Fujitsu LifeBook A6210's $1,349 price tag may seem a bit high for a midsize laptop, especially considering that many similarly sized systems cost less than $1,000. But the Fujitsu has a number of features that help justify the higher price: namely, a built-in Blu-ray drive, ATI Mobility Radeon HD...

Progress on standardizing the @#$%! chargers

Fujitsu LifeBook N6470

We were surprised at how much we like the Fujitsu LifeBook N6470. The unassuming matte-black case on this 17-inch desktop replacement doesn't exactly look luxe, and it lacks such headline-grabbing features as SLI graphics and a high-definition optical drive. (The latter can be chalked up to the death of the...

True, tablets aren't for everyone. If you...
