Symantec Norton Antivirus 2010 Review[pre]It's still 2009, but Norton couldn't wait for the New Year to release Norton Antivirus 2010. Is this really a security application ahead of its time, or is Norton 2010 just an average A/V suite released a few months too soon? Read our full review for...

Gateway P-7808u FX edition Core 2 Quad 17

Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q706

There's no doubt about it: the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q706 is not your average desktop replacement/mobile gaming system. Bedecked in flames and shiny bits and glowing with red lights (what the company calls its "Fusion Finish with Rogue pattern"), the design is no doubt an attempt to express the power that...

Sony VGNFW270J/W

When we reviewed the 16-inch Gateway MC7801u earlier this month, we bemoaned its lack of a Blu-ray drive and the absence of Centrino 2 components. The Sony VAIO FW270, which incorporates a similarly HD-friendly 16.4-inch display, does not have these shortcomings. Its optical drive both reads and writes Blu-ray discs,...

Alienware M17

With Alienware's recent M17x laptop still relatively fresh, why would the Dell subsidiary launch a new model? The new M17 (minus the "x") system trades Nvidia graphics for ATI (including a multi-GPU CrossFireX option) and also includes optional Intel Quad Core 2 Extreme CPUs. Those new parts drive the price...
