Jobs iPod Hi-Fi: Home stereo reinvented? Or load of HorseCRAP?

Please don't say I didn't warn you. Regarding Apple's recently introduced iPod Hi-Fi, the first story I read was written by News.com's John Borland. In it, Borland wrote "Jobs and Apple are pitching the iPod Hi-Fi as a replacement for the home stereo system." My hunt began...

Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309

Sometimes, it takes a good retail excursion to find a deal that isn't otherwise possible. Case in point: the Toshiba T135. While we have already reviewed two different versions of Toshiba's Windows 7 entry to the thin-and-light laptop landscape, we were pleasantly surprised by this retail-only configuration. This is not...

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...

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980

Toshiba Satellite L455-S5975

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: especially in this economy, it's hard to hate a laptop that only costs $350. It's even harder to hate a Windows 7 laptop that costs that much. The Toshiba L455-S5975 is, by 50 dollars, the least expensive notebook computer in our...
