Apple's MacBook -- The case of the new machine 17/10/2008 08:40:00
Is the newest laptop Apple's next Cube? Or a great leap ahead?Whenever Apple releases newly designed products -- meaning hardware offering more than just a speed bump -- the greater question is, "What does it mean?"

Product review: Netbooks for business 13/08/2008 10:55:03
Pint-sized, ultralight, and ultra-affordable, a new class of portables woos the mobile professional. We put an Asus Eee PC and HP Mini-Note to the testThe original Asus Eee PC took the hardware world by storm.

Internet radio appliances roundup 12/08/2008 10:55:06
Stream music from around the world without a PCWeb-based applications and products like Apple's iTunes have made it easy to turn a laptop or a desktop into a music player. At the same time, thousands of radio stations are re-broadcasting their audio over the Internet to anyone who wants to listen. But what if you want to listen to, say, modern jazz from Mali or pop from Paris without dragging around a laptop? Enter the Internet radio: an appliance that looks like a radio and has an antenna -- but connects over Wi-Fi to the Internet, and streams audio to speakers. - +

Hewlett-Packard's Mini-Note is one of the most expensive netbooks, but you get what you pay forHewlett-Packard's 2133 Mini-Note may end up as the premium choice among the entire mini-laptop, or netbook, category of devices announced so far. - +

The latest iteration of Asus' groundbreaking mini-notebook adds a faster CPU, a larger display and a better keyboard.It often takes high-tech vendors three tries to get a product right. Microsoft is the best example of this rule of three. (Think of how buggy and insecure Windows XP was until 1Service Pack 2 came out.
