- Asus Eee PC 1000 (black)
- We've been fans of the Asus Eee PC line ever since the very first 7-inch model kicked off the Netbook craze in the fall of 2007. A year later, Dell, Lenovo, and Acer all have small, inexpensive systems powered by Intel's Atom processor, but Asus still has the biggest selection...

- Acer TravelMate 4720 (Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, WIndows XP Pro)
- We recently declared that the HP Compaq 6910p might woo corporate users away from Dell and Lenovo; after spending some time with the $1,049 Acer TravelMate 4720, we think it's a prime candidate to woo users away from HP. The well-designed Acer exhibited admirable performance (which admittedly could be improved...

- NEC Accusync LCD193WXM
- NEC's 19-inch Accusync LCD193WXM is a capable, workaday LCD. We tend to keep our expectations reasonable for displays in the $200 category, but the LC193WXM shined on our tests. Unlike this model, similar displays from Dell, HP, and Samsung offer HDCP-compliance for watching protected HD content. NEC's claims about...
