ReviewsDell Inspiron Mini 9
Reviewed on September 5, 2008 Dell's entry into the Netbook market means it's time to take these low-cost, low-power PCs seriously. The Inspiron Mini 9 is an excellent example of the form, if not radically different from the competition. -
ReviewsAsus Eee PC 901 (white, Windows XP)
Reviewed on June 30, 2008 The long-awaited Asus Eee PC 901 is the best version of this inexpensive Netbook yet, but it's facing increased competition from the likes of HP, Dell, and MSI. -
ReviewsApple MacBook - black (Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard)
Reviewed on December 17, 2007 Apple has been content to issue minor periodic hardware updates to the 13-inch MacBook, but the modest performance gains and new Leopard OS keep it in our top tier of laptop recommendations. -
ReviewsAsus Eee PC 1000 (black)
Reviewed on September 11, 2008 The Asus Eee PC 1000's 10-inch screen walks a fine line between Netbook and regular laptop, but the higher price may drive away value-seeking consumers. -
ReviewsWindows Vista Ultimate
Reviewed on January 23, 2007 Windows Vista is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use. -
ReviewsMicrosoft Zune (second generation, 80GB, black)
Reviewed on November 12, 2007 The Zune has blossomed from an ugly duckling into a worthy iPod alternative. -
ReviewsAcer Aspire One (XP Home, White)
Reviewed on August 12, 2008 The Acer Aspire One is easily the best of the current under-$400 Netbooks, but its meager allotment of memory and tiny battery limit its appeal. -
ReviewsWindows Mobile 6
Reviewed on February 16, 2007 Though it doesn't offer earth-shattering new features, and interface issues remain, Windows Mobile 6 brings a collection of noteworthy improvements that makes its mobile devices easier to use and equips mobile professionals with more robust productivity tools. -
ReviewsAcer Aspire One (Linpus Linux Lite, White)
Reviewed on August 12, 2008 The Acer Aspire One is easily the best of the current under-$400 Netbooks, but its meager allotment of memory and tiny battery limit its appeal. -
ReviewsWindows Vista Home Premium
Reviewed on January 24, 2007 Windows Vista Home Premium is essentially warmed-over Windows XP Home Edition. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista Home Premium is stable enough for everyday use. -

ReviewsMicrosoft Vista Home Basic
Reviewed on January 24, 2007 Windows Vista Home Basic is essentially warmed-over Windows XP, Windows XP SP3. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use. -
ReviewsSMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router
Reviewed on March 13, 2008 With a fair price, decent performance, and dead-simple setup, the SMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router is about as well-rounded a Draft N router as you'll find. It also boasts impressive range and a smart design. We strongly recommend it for general home use. -
ReviewsDell Inspiron 518
Reviewed on July 31, 2008 Dell's Inspiron 518 is the latest in a long line of utilitarian, midrange Windows PCs. We wish Dell offered a bit more flexibility with its configuration, as well as a 64-bit Windows option, but for a straightforward PC, this is one of the more powerful systems for the dollar. -
ReviewsNokia N810 Internet Tablet
Reviewed on January 29, 2008 Though not necessarily worth the price for an upgrade, the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet brings some nice additions to the mobile Web browsing device, including a full QWERTY keyboard and integrated GPS. -
ReviewsPsystar OpenPro
Reviewed on October 10, 2008 We commend Psystar for pushing ahead with its mission to sell its own PCs with Apple's Mac OS X operating system. We're also impressed by its continuing efforts to ensure reliability. And although the OpenPro is a better deal than any PC currently offered by Apple, you can get a faster PC overall from traditional Windows vendors. -
ReviewsHP TouchSmart IQ770
Reviewed on January 7, 2007 HP's new TouchSmart PC IQ770 is not as fast as Apple's iMac, nor does it have the same clean-lined elegance. It makes up for those problems with intuitive touch screen software you'll actually use and a comprehensive lineup of features. If you're looking for a home PC to organize your family's schedule, or serve up media in a kitchen or another small room, we know of no other system suited so well for the task. -
ReviewsFujitsu LifeBook U810
Reviewed on September 19, 2007 Ambitious but flawed, the Fujitsu LifeBook U810 has more of a traditional laptop design than other UMPCs, but the otherwise excellent keyboard is marred by the loss of several important keys. -
ReviewsMicrosoft Office for Mac 2008
Reviewed on January 7, 2008 Office for Mac 2008 may be the best pick for business users, but most people can get by with less costly alternatives.
