Acer Aspire 9800

The Acer Aspire 9800 is one supersize laptop. Weighing 17.3 pounds without its AC adapter and featuring a 20.1-inch display, it sounds ridiculous to call the computer a laptop. Yet there it is: a screen hinged to a keyboard deck, like any other laptop--except a lot bigger. We've seen large...

Acer Aspire 8930-6448

The original Acer Aspire 8920 was the very first 18-inch laptop we had a chance to review, and the follow-up Acer Aspire 8930-6448 is similar in terms of its essentials, with only a handful of component upgrades. The display has the same native resolution as a 1080p HDTV; that coupled...

Velocity Micro Edge Z-55 (Intel Core i7-920)

Velocity Micro's Edge Z55 is the second PC we've seen with Intel's new Core i7 processor. This $2,499 gaming desktop is not quite as ambitious as the $8,000 or so Falcon Northwest Mach V, but thanks to the new chip and a smart configuration, the Edge Z55 holds its own...

Fujitsu LifeBook N6420 Notebook

Next-generation optical drives are slowly making their way into more and more households, and the somewhat surprising Trojan horse behind this move is the multimedia laptop.

Gateway NX860XL

When Gateway calls the NX860XL a desktop replacement, it's not kidding. This massive multimedia laptop has a desk-hogging footprint, but the benefits of its grand scale are a giant, 17-inch wide-screen display and specs to rival those of a decent desktop gaming rig. All of this semiportable goodness doesn't come...

Alienware Aurora mALX

The Alienware Aurora mALX is a show-offy laptop. Its 19-inch display is so massive that you need a huge Alienware backpack to carry it around. Its case features an extremely detailed custom airbrush paint job with a ribbon of metallic color that changes when viewed at different angles. And as...
