- Alienware Area-51 m17x
- We'll just come right out and say the Alienware m17x is about as powerful as a laptop gets, at least if it's as tricked-out as our $6,000-plus review unit was. More modest builds are available for as little as $1,999, but at that level, you get a fairly yawn-inducing set...

- Gateway FX4710 desktop computer
- Gateway's last $1,000-ish desktop came out earlier this year with an aggressive 4GB of RAM and 64-bit Windows Vista. The resulting performance impressed us greatly. Perhaps working under the assumption that more is always better, Gateway's new $1,150 FX4170 comes with 64-bit Vista and 6GB of RAM. Surprisingly, we saw...
