- Editors' note: This review is part of our 2009 Retail Laptop and Desktop Holiday Roundup, which covers specific fixed configurations of popular systems found in retail stores.Although we weren't fans of Gateway's midrange Gateway DX4300-03, the $520 DX4822-01 makes a more convincing argument with budget-minded features like a spacious hard...

- 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...

- New ultra-thin laptops ready to catch on?

- HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y
- HP's $480 Pavilion Slimline s5220y is another low-end slim tower PC that offers mediocre performance and equally unexciting performance packaged in a relatively boring case. Its small stature might tempt some of you to use it as a light-duty PC, or even a media-streaming box, but its out-of-date connectivity options...

- Dell Inspiron i545s-1476N
- The $480 Inspiron 545s-1476 is the third Dell desktop we've reviewed with the company's current slim tower chassis, and we can't say our opinion has changed since the last time we saw it. We're still satisfied with its design, but we remain disappointed with the features Dell seems to have...

- Averatec D1130 All-in-One
- The Averatec D1130 All-In-One is a stripped-down version of the D1133 we reviewed last month, and while this version cuts the price down to only $399, it also strips away many of the features that gave the higher-end model some value. With its puny 1.6GHz Intel Atom chip, 1GB of...

- Ultrasone Edition 8
- We've reviewed a number of Ultrasone headphones over the years--everything from iPod-inspired iCans to the luxurious HFI-2200s. But the new Edition 8s are, in so many ways, a very different Ultrasone. First, the Edition 8s have, according to Ultrasone, a completely original design that doesn't share any parts with...

- Asus Eee Top ET2002
- Nvidia wants us to tell you that its GeForce 9400M graphics chip, aka Nvidia's Ion technology, pulls Asus' Eee Top ET2002 up from the depths of Nettop misery by imparting it with better-than-terrible graphics and video processing. We agree that the 9400 chip improves the ET2002's visual chops, but a...

- Averatec D1133 All-In-One
- Does a certain price make a nonmobile computer a Nettop? How about a particular CPU or case design? The Averatec D1133 All-In-One blurs the lines. Its low price and relatively slow performance make an argument for calling it a Nettop. But even though it's slow by conventional PC standards, thanks...

- MSI X340 might be the best laptop you've never heard of
- Glossy LCD? No thanksA Lenovo X300 from the Lenovo Outlet for about $1100 seems to be the best deal to me. For an extra $400 beyond the MSI you get a fast SSD, higher resolution non-glossy display though the viewing angle and contrast is rather disappointing, a second processing core,...

- The choices for thin, low-cost ULV laptops expand
- Just when I was starting to wonder what happened to all those ultra-low voltage ULV laptops, computer makers opened the flood gates. These laptops, which are thinner, lighter and less costly than mainstream notebooks, are now available in a range of display sizes, including some models with 11.6-inch displays that...

- On the one hand, the Acer Aspire M3800A-U3802A is a perfectly serviceable budget desktop. Its run-of-the-mill features don't set it apart from its competition, but neither does it have any glaring flaws that prompt us to warn you away. Its biggest problem is its competition, in the form of a...
