Review Roundup: Ten Gadgets That Keep Going
Few things are more frustrating than having your portable gadget run out of juice. And, as you've probably noticed, battery life can be pretty inconsistent from device to device. Part of our PC Magazine Labs testing involves measuring battery life. These ten gadgets--including MP3 players, laptops, and cell phones--not only have great staying power but grab good ratings for performance, too.
Bargain Hunt: Multimedia PCs
If you're shopping for a new desktop PC, consider opting for a multimedia machine. These four machines (two from Dell and two from HP) have the powerful processors, graphics, and drives it takes to handle all your video, music, and photo needs. Even better: Since they're not the newest models on the block anymore, their prices are rock-bottom.
Review Roundup: The Best Out-of-the-Box Laptops
Wouldn't it be nice to buy a laptop that didn't need a hardware upgrade or wasn't loaded with bloatware that you had to clean out? Finding the perfect out-of-the-box notebook is a tall order, but it’s not impossible. Check out these four laptops that perform like a dream from the get-go.
Review: One Tough Flash Drive
Billed as "the world's most secure USB flash drive," the Ironkey Personal makes good on its promises: This super-secure USB flash drive meets military specifications physically and cryptographically, and it includes handy applications for secure browsing and password management. Go to PCMag.com for the full review.
Plus: A Fresh Look for a Nice Laptop
The Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830's Fusion finish and low price make it a must-see.
Ulanoff: Sony Wins the Battle but Loses the War
It’s been months since Toshiba hit the mat in the great HD format war, but still not a whole lot has changed in the consumer high-def market. No one’s buying Blu-ray players or discs. Why? If you take a good look, as Lance Ulanoff has, you’ll see that one thing is abundantly clear: It's all about the price. Read his full column for more.
GoodCleanTech: HP Launches Green Product Line
HP wants to give consumers a choice: They can opt for HP’s more eco-friendly products through the introduction of a new green label called "HP Eco Highlights." HP will be using the label for its entire range of products--from printers to computer systems. Get more details on GoodCleanTech.
