Years back, a notebook was a notebook. So long as it had a battery, a keyboard and a foldable LCD, it would suffice on the road. But things have changed, and consumers are caring more and more about design and style. Sony's VAIO series of laptops have always been stylish when compared to most...

We've had mixed feelings about the bundled software on PCs for awhile now; some of it is nothing more than "bloatware" that really bogs the system down, while other applications are genuinely useful and worth having around. However, the...

There are two main types of road warriors in this world. First, there are the ones who value portability over all else. These users are more concerned with battery life and ease of transportation than they are with raw performance, and it's because of them that netbooks -- the very epitome of...

AMD's latest CPU launches have just about everyone in the CPU world excited, even those that aren't generally fans of AMD. These new chips provide serious competition in a world owned by Intel, and that's exactly what we need if we want prices to sink and innovation to thrive. Dell has been...

We've gone nearly two whole weeks now without a new notebook from MSI, and that just seems extraordinarily long. MSI agrees. That's why the company is breaking their laptop silence today with yet another classic mainstream option, the CX623. It's the latest machine in the company's growing...

At this point, nearly every major notebook maker has issued new machines with Intel's Core i3, Core i5 or Core i7 inside. But Toshiba has been hanging back, watching as everyone else makes those first moves and grabs for attention. Now...

Gateway may not have the clout they once had, but don't you dare count them out. The company is rolling along in 2010 with more than a few significant announcements, and the new NV Series certainly hangs with the big boys in most every respect. The newly updated line reflects the changes that...

Intel has a message for consumers, and that message is this: Thin is in. No, the Santa Clara chip maker isn't taking a dig at your recent weight gain, but is instead referring to its plans to introduce four new processors, all of which are intended to more heavily promote ultrathin laptops in...

Burn us at the stake (please don't) or take away our PC geek cred membership card (never mind, we'd rather be burned at the stake), but we have no problem admitting we like Apple's iPad. It's fun, it's functional, and it makes an awesome bedside or couch companion, lack of Flash support be...
