There's no mistaking Origin PC's new EON17 notebook for exactly what it is: a full-on desktop replacement with more bells and whistles than, well, a bells and whistles store. Believe it or not, the 17.3-inch HD screen (1920x1080) is probably the tamest feature on the EON17's spec sheet. Want the full rundown? Grab a hanky first -- not for...

Once you've put your twenties in your rear-view mirror, you begin to realize that outer beauty only takes things so far, and it's what's on the inside that really matters. Or so that's what ugly people tell us. In any event, Toshiba's revamped Qosmio X500 brings both to the relationship -- a gorgeous frame and...

One of the problems with buying a notebook as a gaming machine is that most mobile PCs don't allow much in the way of upgrades. Once that GPU starts to spit and sputter on the latest titles, you might as well toss the whole thing in a river, or chuck it up on Craigslist if you can stomach the depreciation and inevitable lowball offers. External...

Eurocom is a name synonymous with high-end, cutting-edge machines. It's also a company that rarely makes anything that's truly "portable."

Generally, when you talk about rugged notebooks, you imagine a thick, clunky machine that looks like it has body armor strapped on it. In other words, "portable" and "rugged" rarely go together, as even rugged notebooks are real beasts to tote around. But Handheld Group, a Swedish based supplier of rugged computers, might have a winner with...

You could argue that smartbooks never really had much of a chance once netbooks began to sell for below $299, but Qualcomm and a number of partners definitely put a lot of effort into the category. Initially launched in early 2009, these mid-sized notebook/handheld hybrids were meant to be slotted between the average smartphone and notebook,...

There's almost nothing better than a good product getting better, but that's the case with MSI's revised CR420. It's a member of the company's "Classic" notebook series, boasting an understated design and a 14" screen, but the new fellow has something that few other laptops on the market today have: Intel's Wireless Display.
