- Sony VGNFW270J/W
- When we reviewed the 16-inch Gateway MC7801u earlier this month, we bemoaned its lack of a Blu-ray drive and the absence of Centrino 2 components. The Sony VAIO FW270, which incorporates a similarly HD-friendly 16.4-inch display, does not have these shortcomings. Its optical drive both reads and writes Blu-ray discs,...

- Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz)
- A bump to the frontside bus and a smidge more L2 cache can safely be classified as a minor update. But even slightly improved specifications, when they come at a lower price than those they replace, are appreciated. Last September, we tested the highest-end 24-inch model, which carried a baseline...

- Toshiba's business-oriented Tecra line is far from flashy, but the company's self-described flagship model, the 14-inch Tecra M9, makes up for its thick, unwieldy design by offering semi-rugged features including a shock-absorbing chassis and a spill-resistant keyboard.
