- Acer TravelMate 4060
- In the checklist of musts for business-focused midsize laptops, the $849 Acer TravelMate 4060 has most items covered. Enticing design? Check. Ample features? Check. Strong performance on office-productivity tasks? Check. Reasonable price? Check. Unfortunately, the system skips the last, but certainly not least, requirement: decent battery life. If you're buying...

- Toshiba Portege M700-S7002
- The business-oriented Toshiba Portege M700 borrows and improves upon features found on the company's lighter and more expensive flagship Tablet PC, the Portege R400. For example, the Portege M700 incorporates the same useful display anchors, which keep the screen from wobbling, that we first saw on the R400. The Portege...

- Acer TravelMate 6292-6700 - Core 2 Duo T7300 2 GHz - 12.1" TFT
- The business-oriented analog of Acer's Ferrari 1100, the TravelMate 6292 shares many of the same features as its flashier sibling but wraps them in a slightly thicker, boxier case that's better suited for boardrooms. One key difference: The TravelMate 6292 incorporates Intel's latest Core 2 Duo platform, which resulted in...

- Acer Ferrari 1100
- When we looked at Acer's first Ferrari-themed ultraportable, the Ferrari 1000, we liked its car-themed style and strong performance, but were disappointed by its mediocre battery life. We opened the box of its successor, the Ferrari 1100, with some anticipation--this is, after all, a well-designed, full-featured ultraportable laptop that ought...

- More innovation in the UMPC category headed our way
- E-Lead Electronics will be showcasing its entry into the inexpensive UMPC market at CES this month. While pricing is expected to be near the $500 mark still too pricey in my mind for any sort of widespread adoption in education, it brings some incredibly innovative features to the table...

- Mobile Edge Cutebug Sheba Laptop Bag
- Most women's laptop bags we see function as a computer carrier first, fashion accessory second. The $80 Mobile Edge Cutebug Sheba reverses that order: it's a cute bag that you can also use to carry your laptop. Created in partnership with Chicago-based Maddie Powers, the bag's vinyl front flap features...

- Targus Cha Cha Women's Tote
- Designed for women who want a stylish bag to carry their laptop on a daily commute, the Targus Cha Cha Women's Tote looks more like a Burberry satchel than a laptop bag. Unlike a satchel, however, the Cha Cha Tote's interior includes a padded laptop compartment, organizer pockets, and a...

- Targus Corporate Traveler (15.4-inch)
- The $90 Targus Corporate Traveler means serious business. The briefcase-style ballistic-nylon case looks ready to survive the bumps and knocks of even the most aggressive travel schedule. Which isn't to say that the bag is all utility with no style; the black exterior and gunmetal gray zipper pulls, along with...

- Acer TravelMate 4720 (Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, WIndows XP Pro)
- We recently declared that the HP Compaq 6910p might woo corporate users away from Dell and Lenovo; after spending some time with the $1,049 Acer TravelMate 4720, we think it's a prime candidate to woo users away from HP. The well-designed Acer exhibited admirable performance (which admittedly could be improved...

- Acer TravelMate 6291
- Ultraportable laptops are popular with frequent travelers and aesthetic minimalists, but premium prices and low-end components often make them a tough sell. We've been happy to see a couple of lower-price 12-inch laptops of late, including the $899 Averatec 2371 and, for $150 more, this $1,049 model from Acer, the...

- The sub-$600 notebook is a rare beast, and the few Windows Vista models we've seen at or around this price have been less-than-stellar performers. For Web surfing, working with office documents, and playing DVDs, however, a budget laptop such as the $549 Acer TravelMate 2480-2153 provides enough power for generally...

- Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.3 with Antivirus
- Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.3 with Antivirus would seem like a powerful combination, given that McAfee, Norton, and Trend Micro all combine their antivirus and antispyware scans. And rather than build its own antivirus engine, Webroot has wisely partnered with top-rated U.K.-based Sophos Anti-Virus, which sells primarily to the enterprise market....
