- averatec 2575
- Since we reviewed the Averatec 2371 last year, the company has taken its laptops in a whole new direction. Gone are the cheap-looking plastic cases and rock-bottom prices; in their place, the company offers a new minimalist design and slightly higher--though still competitive--prices. The new ultraportable in the company's lineup,...

- Delphi NAV300
- When we reviewed the Delphi NAV200 last year, we gave it props for being a good value and offering accurate directions. Now, the company has come out with a step-up model, the Delphi NAV300, and once again, we're impressed with how much the system offers for its $399.99 price tag,...

- HP Compaq 2510p
- Fans of ultraportable laptops have had a lot of products to be excited about in recent months, with two excellent models in particular standing out--the Toshiba Portege R500 and the Sony VAIO TZ150. Those are flashy consumer systems, designed to be thin, light, and eye-catching, but with high-end prices to...

- Netropa Intellinav 2
- There are a number of newcomers entering the U.S. GPS market, trying to loosen the grip that heavyweights Garmin, TomTom, and Magellan have on the industry, and one such company is Netropa. The company's Intellinav 2 caught our eye not so much for its design though compact and shiny but...

- Toshiba Portege R500-S5002
- Perhaps the laptop we've been most looking forward to checking out this year, Toshiba's Portege R500 is very close to the final word in ultraportable systems. Incredibly thin and light, it manages to squeeze a 12-inch display into a package even lighter than Sony's 11-inch VAIO TZ150. While there have...

- Sony VAIO TZ150N/B
- The past few months have seen a series of noteworthy ultraportable laptops trotted out, and joining the Toshiba R500, the Averatec 1579, and the Dell XPS m1330 technically not an ultraportable but still impressively small, is Sony's new VAIO TZ series. Already out in Japan for a few months, this...

- If there's one thing we get hugely excited about, it's small laptops. With systems including the Toshiba R500 and Dell XPS m1330 offering ever slimmer and more powerful options for those who need full-fledged computing on the go, these not-quite-pocket-size options can now easily function as your main machine. If...

- Acer TravelMate 6291
- Ultraportable laptops are popular with frequent travelers and aesthetic minimalists, but premium prices and low-end components often make them a tough sell. We've been happy to see a couple of lower-price 12-inch laptops of late, including the $899 Averatec 2371 and, for $150 more, this $1,049 model from Acer, the...

- The ultraportable laptop is set for a summer revival, with high-profile systems including the Toshiba R500 and Dell XPS m1330 offering ever-slimmer and more powerful options. But these new systems are both expensive and still a ways off, so for the space-challenged or the frequent traveler looking for a 12-inch...

- Dual NavAtlas XNAV3550
- Dual Electronics is certainly no stranger to aftermarket car tech, offering plenty of audio and video solutions, such as the Dual XDVD8182. However, it's pretty new to the GPS game, and judging by its Dual NavAtlas XNAV3550, it still has some things to learn. Dual NavAtlas has its highlights: basic...

- Everex StepNote NC1500
- The Everex StepNote NC1500 first came to our attention as a potentially interesting preholiday Wal-Mart special--a sub-$500 laptop. But the low price isn't the most interesting thing about the StepNote NC1500. First, there's the unusual choice of CPU. Virtually every other desktop or laptop on the market goes with Intel...

- Averatec 3360
- With a bargain-bin price of $649, the Averatec 3360 is nothing fancy: its silver plastic case and standard-aspect display won't turn any heads, and its previous-generation components and mediocre performance won't have any user jumping for joy. But it does have a few nice perks we're not used to seeing...
