- Best 'bang for the buck' graphics cards
- No Love for NVIDIA?I'm a little disappointed you only mention one GeForce card as if they can't compete with ATI. I'm sensing either sponsorship or bias, Adrian... but if it's genuinely based on performance, I'd love to see some benchmarking and justification for the claim.They just killed off......half the cards...

- Gateway ZX6810-01
- Congratulations to Gateway's One ZX6801-01 for sending in the first official Windows 7-based PC to CNET Labs. We've already reviewed Windows 7, so we'll spend most of our energy here talking about Gateway's new PC. We like the One ZX6810-01 well enough. When it goes on sale for $1,399 at...

- Why not all 12-inch netbooks are the same
- I've been skeptical of 12-inch netbooks, especially as prices for real notebooks continue to fall fast. At that size, netbooks start to run up against laptops, so it's no surprise that the PC industry is feeling its way. Acer has been selling an 11.6-inch model since May, but Asus has...

- Maingear Pulse
- PC gamers demand speed, a pursuit that--at least with current technology--runs directly counter to the idea of saving energy. HP's Firebird struck a reasonable balance between the two earlier in the year, and had we reviewed Maingear's new Pulse six months ago, it would have given the Firebird stiff competition...

- AMD announces ATI Theater HD 750 "HDTV on a chip"

- Intel delays Core i5 launch
- Intel delays Core i5 launchThe disparity between AMD...and Intel processors is greater than I can ever remember. It's hard to believe AMD's best offering compares to Intel's lowest offerings. Your take on the i5's holdback is probably right on.What in the way of architecture besides multi threading is giving Intel...

- ASUS F50Sv A2 16-inch laptop
- Sixteen-inch laptops comprise a growing category, perhaps because they sit between the semiportable, 15-inch, mainstream systems and the heavy, 17- and 18-inch models that are essentially desk-bound machines with hinged screens. The $1,249 Asus F50SV-A2 packs a Blu-ray drive and a new mainstream Nvidia graphics chip into a relatively...

- AMD Radeon HD 4770: Great graphics for $99
- AMD has made the eagerly-anticipated Radeon HD 4770 GPU official. Although it is based on some of the most advanced technology--it's the first GPU manufactured using a 40nm process and has nearly as many transistors as the flagship Radeon HD 4890--it is neither the company's fastest nor most costly GPU....

- Samsung NC20
- Samsung's NC20 stands out from the crowd in two very important ways. First, it's one of only a handful of 12-inch Netbooks (the best-known example being Dell's Vista-addled Mini 12); secondly, it's the first laptop we've tested with Via's Nano CPU, intended as an alternative to Intel's popular Atom processor....

The result is a new, larger case that maintains the compact nature of PCs in this niche, but also lends this system a surprising degree of internal space. Our...
