Velocity 103

We've seen plenty of Windows Mobile devices in our day, and at times they all start to blur together--same story, just different packaging. However, back at CTIA Spring 2008, a new company called Velocity Mobile caught our eye, impressing us with a fresh approach to the user interface. Recognizing that...

Velocity 103 WM device should be available in September

While at Mobius 2008 in Seattle a few months ago I was a bit surprised to get a bit of hands-on time with a couple new Windows Mobile devices from Velocity Mobile. If you remember, these guys sort of came out of nowhere back at CTIA in April. They showed...

Velocity Micro Edge Z-5 (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 Overclocked)

Velocity Micro's $999 Edge Z5 is a worthy sub-$1,000 desktop, in particular for those looking for a capable--but affordable--gaming PC. Rather than relying on the off-the-shelf parts for this system, Velocity has applied its savvy as a performance PC vendor to this system, overclocking where appropriate and eschewing most nonessential...

Dell Studio XPS-122B

Dell's fixed-configuration Studio XPS-122B is essentially a showcase for Intel's relatively new Core i7 desktop processors. This $999 Dell provides all of the features we expect to find at this price, as well as very aggressive multitasking and multithreaded application performance. The Studio XPS-122B has few frills, but anyone looking...

Dell XPS 625 Desktop Computer (AMD Phenom X4 940, 500GB HDD, 4GB)

Normally we criticize gaming PCs from large vendors like Dell for failing to keep their specs as aggressively up to date as their boutique competition. But after looking for systems to compare with Dell's new $1,499 XPS 625, it seems as of this writing that the entire desktop market is...

Dell Studio XPS

The Dell Studio XPS is the fourth PC we've reviewed from Dell using the same glossy black midtower chassis. We're still excited by this system, however, because it's another affordable PC with Intel's powerful new Core i7 desktop CPU. The Studio XPS reviewed here is a $1,299 configuration that outperforms...

Velocity Micro Edge Z-55 (Intel Core i7-920)

Velocity Micro's Edge Z55 is the second PC we've seen with Intel's new Core i7 processor. This $2,499 gaming desktop is not quite as ambitious as the $8,000 or so Falcon Northwest Mach V, but thanks to the new chip and a smart configuration, the Edge Z55 holds its own...

Dell XPS 710 H2C

Thanks to dual-graphics-card technologies and the expensive, high-wattage power supplies required to run them, the average price tag of a best-of-the-best PC has ballooned to well over the $7,000 mark. That's why, despite running a still-ridiculous $5,759, the Dell XPS 710 H2C looks like a downright bargain. Dell remains tied...

Widow PC IX2 SLI

We've seen a handful of quad-core PCs so far with a single Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX 3D card in them, but we had yet to see any with two of those cards in SLI scalable link interface mode until the Widow PC IX2 SLI. More than simply a high-end game...

Alienware Area-51 7500 (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700)

Buying a high-end gaming rig isn't supposed to be cheap. We've come to expect that the best of the best in PC hardware will run you around $5,000 or more. The problem is that once one vendor throws a wrench in the works, the whole game changes. The Alienware Area-51...
