HP Envy 15-1050nr

A big brother to HP's 13-inch Envy 13, this upscale 15-inch model crams more computing power into a midsize laptop than anyone outside of Alienware's m15x. And while that system is a 10-pound monster, the Envy 15 manages to be both slim and reasonably lightweight, partially by ditching the internal...

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980

You can't argue with a large-screen, value-priced laptop when it delivers good performance, and looks nice to boot. We appreciated the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6960 when we reviewed it in our 2009 back-to-school retail roundup, liking its affordability, large screen, strong battery life, and excellent-sounding speakers. Just a few months later,...

Apple iMac 27-inch

If we could, we'd take points away from this iMac simply because by giving it a 27-inch display Apple threatens our livelihood. You don't need our input to simply walk past the 27-inch iMac on a store shelf and recognize that it's the largest all-in-one currently available, and that it...

HTC Imagio (Verizon Wireless)

Verizon Wireless' V Cast video and music service bundle has long been a staple feature of its high-profile feature phones, like the LG enV Touch and the Samsung Rogue for example.

Lenovo ThinkPad T400s (MultiTouch)

Lenovo's ThinkPad brand is virtually synonymous with business laptops, and the company like IBM before it has spent years perfecting the nondescript black-box system, with its iconic TrackPoint and double set of mouse buttons.

Gateway LT3103u

In the battle for Netbook market share supremacy, Intel's Atom CPU stands nearly unchallenged, despite a handful of offerings with AMD and Via CPUs. So it's surprising we found so much to like about the 11.6-inch Gateway LT3103u, which uses an AMD Athlon 64 L110 processor to provide a smoother...

Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, XP Home, black)

Why Windows 7's netbook success isn't a slam-dunk

Why Windows 7's netbook success isn't a slam-dunkMy prediction is that Linux will gain a critical mass in netbooks, forcing MS to keep prices at or below the $15 range, and also eventually increase acceptable screen sizes and other restricted features.
