Even though most viewers would have a hard time differentiating between 720p and 1080p on a 42-inch HDTV, that hasn't stopped TV makers from sprinkling the magic 1080p spec on smaller-size sets. Case in point: Viewsonic has just released a new 22-inch 1080p set (the VT2230) that's designed as a...

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...

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...
