Most low-priced laptops are bulky midsize systems with 15.4-inch screens. But the Gateway T-6828 offers a slightly more portable thin-and-light form factor with a 14.1-inch screen that’s still comfortable enough for a full day of work. Aside from portability, the $799 T-6828 offers a beautiful display and performance that matches more expensive laptops, all wrapped […]
The ThinkPad brand is an iconic image in the corporate world, but Lenovo has been absent from the U.S. consumer laptop market—until now. The company’s recently launched the IdeaPad line as its first set of non-business models to debut on these shores. Think of the 15.4-inch IdeaPad Y510 as the ThinkPad T61 Widescreen’s alter ego, […]
Acer Ferrari 3000 to a more conservative—but just as sleek—black checkered design. It retains some of the cool-looking red streaks along the side and front edge of the notebook, and yes, the yellow prancing horse emblem still graces the center of the notebook. The cover is made from carbon fiber, which is stronger and lighter […]
Dell XPS laptops have been known to pull off performance feats usually associated with desktops. The Dell XPS M1210 (Vista), for instance, has embodied what performance should be like in an ultraportable. But what started off as a stylish design two years ago is now quickly losing ground to trendsetters such as Apple, HP, and […]

Toshiba’s business-oriented Tecra line is far from flashy, but the company’s self-described flagship model, the 14-inch Tecra M9, makes up for its thick, unwieldy design by offering semi-rugged features including a shock-absorbing chassis and a spill-resistant keyboard. Our $1,794 review unit conforms to the Centrino Pro platform, which uses Intel’s Active Management Technology (AMT) to […]
The Dell Inspiron 1420 is destined to populate the homes of school-bound teens, sophisticated and unsophisticated computer users, and just about anybody who is looking for a terrific deal. The laptop’s look has changed (for the better), and just because it’s priced at $1,099 (direct) doesn’t mean you’ll get shafted with cheap processing parts. It’s […]
The Sony VAIO VGN-NR160E/S is Sony’s new entry into the low price notebook market. It boasts such fancy features as a Core 2 Duo processor and a large hard drive. It has a slim design and comes in three eye-catching colors: Granite, Wenge, and Silk. However, the most attractive feature of the new Sony VAIO […]
The Gateway M-1626 is a fixed configuration version of the manufacturer’s midsize M series and is currently available through Office Depot. As with the M-1618 we reviewed last summer, we like the design of the Gateway M1626, which combines a lovely display and a comfortable keyboard inside of a relatively sleek and stylish case. We […]
the Averatec Voya 6494 bears a slight resemblance to Honda’s original Element. Despite its clunky look, the Voya 6494 is relatively trim for a ruggedized 15-inch laptop. And when opened, it presents a surprisingly slick yet corporate look, with a silver-and-black screen bezel, and black keyboard and keyboard tray. It serves up security features that […]
