During the Consumer Electronics Show which took place in early January of this year, we showcased a myriad of upcoming products in our coverage of the event.

Earlier in the year, we had the opportunity to review Lenovo's ThinkPad Edge 13, a 13" ultraportable that was an affordable version of the classic ThinkPad that has been around for so many years in the business world. We didn't find that machine perfect for everyone, but there's a good chance that the 14" and 15"...

Gateway may not be the giant that Dell is anymore, but they're still hanging around and producing quality machines for a smaller crowd.

EUROCOM has been known to go overboard when it comes to notebooks, though some may say they're just going beyond the call of duty in order to offer up cutting-edge products to their customers. Intel's new Core i7-980X "Gulftown" has been quite the hit in the desktop world, but given the massive heat output, it has yet...

We're not usually ones to call a company "on fire," but MSI is definitely just that. Notebook after notebook has been announced from the company over the past week or two, and instead of taking Friday off, these guys and girls have popped out a real stunner. The GE700 is the company's latest big boy, a 17" gaming and...

Not every high-end, haute couture product turns out to be a bestseller—even Steve Jobs had the Cube—but it's rather odd for a manufacturer to design, advertise, tease, and launch a product only to pull it off the market barely four months later. Nevertheless, that's the news from Dell on the Adamo XPS. The Adamo...

We know the desktop still has a life to live with hardcore gamers demanding performance that only a desktop GPU and CPU can provide, but it's...
