AVADirect Nano Cube

AVADirect's $2,266 Nano Cube tries to take on Shuttle's XPC H7 5800 at its own small form factor game. Both systems come with smaller-than-normal SFF cases, and each requires sacrifices, even more than with a standard SFF PC, in exchange for its tiny dimensions. Therein lies our problem with this...

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...

Maingear unleashes Shift desktop, child-sized 'personal supercomputer' for $2,199 (or $13,394)

Couple of thingsI have a Memorex small HD camcorder, looks similar to the Flip, bought cheap & works OK.2 annoyances: first, the digital "zoom" can't change while it is recording -- i.e., you have to set the zoom while NOT recording, then hit the record button. Not sure how...

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Laptop computers

This year the laptop list was a tough assignment for several reasons. First, the emergence of a new class of ultra-thin laptops--spawned by lower-cost processors from Intel and AMD--has made things more complicated. Second, there's a fresh crop of Windows 7 laptops, and...

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...

Acer Aspire Revo AR1600-U910H

Typically our challenges with the emergent Nettop category have been that real budget PCs cost just a little bit more and provide a dramatic performance uptick, and similarly priced Netbooks offer equivalent performance with the added benefit of portability. The Aspire Revo 1600's price tag alone answers those issues. ...

HP LP3065 30-inch monitor

The most appealing selling point of the 30-inch HP LP3065 is its super-high 2,560x1,600 resolution. Gamers with powerful enough video cards to run at that resolution will not be disappointed. With its great color preproduction and wide viewing angles, movies also look great on the large display. Professional graphic artists...

ZDNet readers don't care about celebrity endorsements

I agree with the poll. I'm not buying a new camera because Ashton Kutcher is pimping one out, or because Justin Timberlake is doing it in his commercials. I'll buy one based on the features I need. I'd rather see the commercials prop up the features rather than the celebrity.Oh...

Canon introduces EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR Camera

To me digital camera pricing is way out of hand.The specs for this camera as do the latest Nikon high end DSLRs are impressive. What is amazing is the $3,000 to over $5,000 cost. To me it is more important to put money into glass than an expensive body. Though...

Will Windows 7 have the right touch?

The touch interface has arrived on smartphones, thanks largely to the iPhone. But it hasn't found much mainstream success on the PC despite years of trying.

Sony DCR-DVD650

DVDs were never a perfect solution for directly recording video to with a camcorder. The medium makes even less sense now with hard-disk-drive and flash-memory models reasonably priced and able to store much more video in far smaller packages. About the only advantage camcorders like the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD650 have...
