- HD DVD vs. Blu-ray ad nauseum
- HD DVD vs. Blu-ray ad nauseumThey could always......develop a common standard or someone else could do it for them. That is what ended the 56K modem wars and is probably in the interests of both factions. When we start seeing vendors sell "dual-mode" players, I think reason will...

- Gateway M255-E (Core 2 Duo)
- When we reviewed the Gateway M250E a year ago, we liked everything about the laptop, save its lackluster application performance. We feel roughly the same about the Gateway M255-E, which features a handful of minor design improvements, a Core 2 Duo processor, and less-than-stellar benchmark results. It will ably handle...

- Apple Mac Mini Core Duo (1.67GHz)
- The littlest Apple received a makeover that includes more than just the widely publicized move to Intel processors. True, the Mac Mini line now features two Intel-based models: an entry-level, single-core Mac Mini Core Solo for $599 and a faster, more feature-rich dual-core Mac Mini Core Duo for $799. Both...

- Synology Disk Station DS409slim is a true miniature powerhouse in the network-attached storage device market. It's the first 2.5-inch hard drive-based NAS server we've reviewed that offers hot-swappable capability. However, that is its least impressive feature. The server did well in our performance tests and, like other Synology products we've...

- TiVo readying 802.11n Wi-Fi adapter?
- It's been a tough slog for TiVo, whose once-innovative DVR ecosystem has been co-opted by cable companies' own DVR services. (Though some offer the TiVo interface for an additional charge.) The company and its devices still have their champions, but it's difficult to achieve mass success when buyers have to...

- WD TV Live HD Media Player

Sure, this was partially because most of these devices depend on Windows Media Center for connectivity and content, but we also had issues with their interfaces and performance.Fast forward a year and it's safe to say that...

- The Gateway NV5207u is what happens when a slow processor happens to an otherwise respectable budget-priced laptop. It's a good-looking notebook with a large screen, a decent port assortment, and a couple of extra features to sweeten the deal. But its AMD processor is a poor performer despite being dual...

- Averatec D1130 All-in-One
- The Averatec D1130 All-In-One is a stripped-down version of the D1133 we reviewed last month, and while this version cuts the price down to only $399, it also strips away many of the features that gave the higher-end model some value. With its puny 1.6GHz Intel Atom chip, 1GB of...
