averatec 2575: Since we reviewed the Averatec 2371 last year, the company has taken its laptops in a whole new direction.

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.

While there have...; Tags: Desktops, Notebooks, R500, Sony Vaio, Toshiba Portege, Toshiba Corp.; Product reviews 2007-07-30

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.

Averatec Voya 320: When we reviewed the Averatec Voya 350 late last summer, we gave it a lukewarm reception; it was a decent portable navigation system but it was in need of some refinements in design and usability to really compete with the industry leaders, such as Garmin and TomTom.Well, it looks as...; Tags: Memory, Averatec, Averatec Voya 320, Voya 350, Voya 320; Product reviews 2007-02-02
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.

But it does have a few nice perks we're not used to seeing...; Tags: Notebooks, Averatec, Averatec 3360, laptop computer; Product reviews 2006-09-25
