- iFixIt dissects the unibody MacBook Pro 17-inch (Updated)
- After a month delay, the good dudes over at iFixIt.com got their hands on the new MacBook Pro 17-inch and promptly disassembled it. Some things they learned: Even after paying Apple $2799, this computer STILL doesn't come with a Mini DisplayPort adapter. There are...

- Lenovo SL510
- Without proceeding any further, I am about to make a guess: you have already decided whether or not you're buying a ThinkPad. The iconic brand, the unending combination of professional respect, solid features, and unabashed blandness, combine to make a product that has surprising appeal across the board, yet remains,...

- Wi-Fi Direct connections coming soon; Like Bluetooth, but better
- "Ad-Hoc Network??"The way this article is written sounds very similar to how one might describe an ad-hoc wireless network (which has been around since Day 1 of Wi-Fi). Given the fact I can already do all the things that are mentioned to a limited degree, could you the author please...

- Bose SoundDock 10
- Believe it or not, iPod speakers were once rare objects--and Bose's SoundDock was one of the first to hit the market back in 2004. Since then, the company has followed up with the SoundDock II ($299) and the SoundDock Portable ($399), even as the iPod speaker category has become completely...

- FOWA 2009: Microsoft Surface 'proof of concept' actually pointless
- Grats on being closed mindedWell done for putting someone down, your price point argument is fair but doesn't negate the number of possible uses of the surface device, which frankly are only limited by imagination, something that seems to be questionable for you.How do you define genuine uses? That sentence...

- MSI X340 might be the best laptop you've never heard of

- Is Nokia losing focus by now expanding into the PC market with the Booklet 3G?

- The price factor
- Prices and profitsCompetition is supposed to erode ALL excessive profits, so that is what is happening. PCs (incl. Apple) have largely become commodity products, which makes it almost impossible to compete on anything BUT price.And why so obsessed about quality?

- The HP Mini 1151NR arrived in Verizon Wireless stores in May 2009 for $199.99 (after a $50 mail-in rebate and new two-year data plan). The CNet review liked its "whisper-thin design and large edge-to-edge keyboard" but not its "total cost of ownership with two-year data contract."...
