- Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980
- You can't argue with a large-screen, value-priced laptop when it delivers good performance, and looks nice to boot. We appreciated the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6960 when we reviewed it in our 2009 back-to-school retail roundup, liking its affordability, large screen, strong battery life, and excellent-sounding speakers. Just a few months later,...

- Sony Vaio X (VPC-X115KX/N Signature Collection, gold)
- Sony has thus far taken a position just adjacent to Apple's when it comes to the question of Netbooks. Rather than embracing these low-cost, low-power systems that have become incredibly popular with bargain-hunting consumers, Sony stayed out of the market initially. Its subsequent entries have skirted the outer edges of...

- Toshiba Satellite L455-S5975
- We've said it before, and we'll say it again: especially in this economy, it's hard to hate a laptop that only costs $350. It's even harder to hate a Windows 7 laptop that costs that much. The Toshiba L455-S5975 is, by 50 dollars, the least expensive notebook computer in our...

- Motorola Droid gets official on Verizon; arrives Nov. 6 for $199
- I'm excited...I'll want to play with one at the store first and my VZW contract isn't up for renewal until April, so I may end up having to wait to get the $199 price, but I'm very excited that Verizon finally has what appears to be an "iPhone class" smartphone...

- Samsung Intrepid (Sprint)
- The Samsung Intrepid made its debut at CTIA Fall 2009 as Sprint's first Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone. Admittedly, we weren't particularly impressed by the handset's drab and slightly plasticky design when we saw it at the show but now that we've had some time to get to know the device,...

- Tritton AX900
- Among all the video game accessories available today, no other market seems to be expanding as rapidly as the video game headset. With most current-generation consoles able to produce 5.1 surround sound, finding a headset solution to handle such a request is now much easier than before. We've tested a...

- Apple MacBook Fall 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Nvidia GeForce 9400M)
- While it's neither the less-expensive entry-level MacBook some had hoped for, nor the long-rumored touch-screen device, the new 13-inch MacBook can now escape its designation as the lone holdover system from Apple's previous generation, thanks to an upscale makeover that keeps the price stable at just under the $1,000 mark....

- Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310
- How much of a difference does a single-core versus dual-core ultralow-voltage processor make on a thin-and-light these days? You may not be paying attention under the hood--and that's not your fault, because it's hard to notice the differences based on processor name and Intel sticker-logos--but you should know that it...

- Ultrasone Edition 8
- We've reviewed a number of Ultrasone headphones over the years--everything from iPod-inspired iCans to the luxurious HFI-2200s. But the new Edition 8s are, in so many ways, a very different Ultrasone. First, the Edition 8s have, according to Ultrasone, a completely original design that doesn't share any parts with...

- HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T)
- Editors' note: Portions of the Features section were taken from our review of the HTC Pure since the two smartphones share a number of same features.After waiting in the wings, AT&T's business customers are finally getting their turn with the HTC Touch Pro2. Dubbed the HTC Tilt 2 (and obviously...

- Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850
- Toshiba's Qosmio line has always been the company's experimental playground for high-end systems, from massive gaming rigs to inventive multimedia home theater laptops. While there were a lot of interesting ideas there, you often ended up with slightly overpriced systems with out-of-date video cards or non-functioning Webcam hand gesture controls....

- Spring Design debuts Google Android-based e-book reader, Alex
- Meet Alex, the new Google Android OS-based e-book reader from Spring Design. Only one day before Barnes & Noble releases their e-reader and on the same day as the Que release, the Bay Area-based is trying to steal the thunder with its dual-screen, 6-inch Electronic Paper...

- Lenovo SL510
- Without proceeding any further, I am about to make a guess: you have already decided whether or not you're buying a ThinkPad. The iconic brand, the unending combination of professional respect, solid features, and unabashed blandness, combine to make a product that has surprising appeal across the board, yet remains,...

- Sennheiser HD 800
- Model changes at the upper end of Sennheiser's headphone line don't happen very often. The previous flagship--the still available HD 650s--were introduced in 2003, and remain in the line. Their predecessor, the HD 600s, came out more than a decade ago, and are still popular with audiophiles. I've reviewed both,...

- Grado PS1000
- Grado is one of America's oldest hi-fi companies. In the 1950s it manufactured phono cartridges, turntables, and speakers. While Grado still makes a full line of highly regarded cartridges (budget-priced all the way up to high-end models), it's perhaps better known today for its headphones, which spring from the professional...

- RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 (Verizon Wireless)
- Photo gallery:BlackBerry Storm 2Let's be honest. Research in Motion's first foray in the world of the touch-screen smartphones wasn't exactly a smashing success. The RIM BlackBerry Storm was riddled with bugs and performance issues, which were resolved with subsequent software updates, but still, the damage had been done. However, there...

- Toshiba Satellite T135-S1300
- Thin-and-light laptops may look similar, but they're not all made the same. It's a deceptive world out there, especially since many thin-and-lights trade performance for a stylishly thin chassis, all while marketing a mainstream look that suggests performance equal to other notebooks.The Toshiba T135 is part of Toshiba's new T100...

- HP Mini 311
- The Netbook wars have heated up, with PC makers adding upscale features such as larger HD displays and faster low-voltage CPUs to systems, in an effort for push prices up past the usual $299-$399 range. We've seen HD Netbooks from Sony and others, usually with prices closer to $599, so...

It easily connects to a Wi-Fi network for access to photo collections from a variety of online sources as well as letting you...
