- Lenovo IdeaPad Y530
- When you're shopping for a low-priced media laptop, the Lenovo brand is not likely to come immediately to mind. After all, the company is best known for its serious, business-oriented ThinkPad line. But Lenovo has been doing some interesting things with its consumer-oriented IdeaPad line, from creating a stunningly beautiful...

- Asus N10J A1 - Atom N270 1.6 GHz - 10.2
- Almost every Netbook we've seen to date has featured the same basic setup: the Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and Windows XP. We're even seeing less difference in screen size, as most vendors have settled on a 9- or a 10-inch screen. Really, the only differentiation between...

- Gateway MC7803u
- With the exception of lid color, the Gateway MC7803u looks identical to the MC7801u we reviewed earlier this month. Both 16-inch laptops feature Gateway's attractive new case design, complete with glowing light-touch media controls. And both incorporate an edge-to-edge glass display that's great for enjoying HD video content. But once...

- Gateway M-7818u
- The Gateway M-7818u is a fixed configuration version of the manufacturer's midsize M series and is currently available through OfficeMax. As with the other versions of the M series we've reviewed, we like the design of the M-7818u, which combines an attractive display and comfortable keyboard inside of a stylish...

- Panasonic TH-50PF11UK
- We've always been impressed by the performance of Panasonic plasmas, and it started with the company's professional models, such as the TH-50PHD8UK we reviewed three years ago. In terms of external design, Panasonic has changed exactly nothing between that model and the TH-50PH11UK reviewed here, sticking with the same ultra...

- Averatec All-in-One (18.4-inch)
- Averatec's latest all-in-one, the reasonably, unimaginatively named 18.4-inch All-in-One PC, boasts a simple, attractive design and a low price. For $549, you get a wide-screen 18.4-inch display that sits atop an 8-by-11-inch base, connected by an adjustable arm. That's less than half the price of the 20-inch iMac and nearly...

- Hitachi UT37X902
- When Hitachi first announced the U.S. availability of its superslim monitors at CES last January, they were the slimmest flat-panel LCDs yet at 1.5 inches thick. That's still the case as far as we know. Sure, the panel of Sony's OLED-based XEL-1 is, as usual, an exception at 0.11 inch...

- Haier HL47K
- Haier is hardly a household name in the U.S. among TV manufacturers, although you might know the brand through its air conditioner business. Nonetheless, the HL47K isn't the first Haier HDTV we've reviewed. That distinction belongs to the otherwise less-than-distinct 42EP14S, a 42-inch plasma that sold for $2,300 in...

- Sony Vaio AW125J/H
- We've become fast fans of the new 18-inch laptop design, which is quickly becoming our go-to choice for mobile home theater use. These new 18-inch displays differ from the 17-inch systems they aim to replace by offering a 16:9 aspect ratio, which matches that of HDTV screens and works perfectly...

- ViewSonic VX1962wm - flat panel display - TFT - 19"
- Despite its good performance in games, smart design, and a high 1,680x1,050 resolution, we do not recommend the ViewSonic VX1962wm because Westinghouse has a 19-inch LCD that's cheaper and a better performer. A slightly blurry picture during DVD playback also detracts from the ViewSonic's appeal, and we noticed a yellowish...

- 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...
