Review Roundup: The Best Dual-Band Routers
More and more new routers can run wireless-n traffic in either the 2.4-GHz or the 5-GHz band. These are known as dual-band routers, and if you're looking for optimal 802.11n performance, they're the way to go. Check out these four recent PC Mag reviews to guide you through picking the right router for you.
Feature: The Future of Windows
Microsoft hasn't revealed much officially about Windows 7, but during a recent speech, Bill Gates said that it would "be lower power, take less memory, be more efficient, and have lots more connections up to the mobile phone." No one knows exactly what you'll see on the Windows 7 desktop, but here are a few intriguing hints.
Review: Lenovo's Fast, Power-Saving Biz PC
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M57p eco is a green corporate PC. It's got a few more features than most small-business PCs, making it a good choice for the corporate IT infrastructure and (possibly) small businesses. All told, this desktop does a lot to live up to Lenovo's stellar reputation and its earth-friendly moniker, earning it four stars and our GreenTech Approved seal.
Plus: Gateway's Affordable, Speedy Laptop
The Gateway M-152XL is a bargain mainstream laptop that pushes performance limits.

Dvorak Online: Microsoft Drops the Ball on Book Search

PC Magazine Discussions
Tell us your thoughts on the following topics:
Google, Amazon Win; Everyone Else Vanishes
An Internet analyst for a major Wall Street firm argues in a new report that Google Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. will be long-term winners, while Yahoo! and IAC InterActiveCorp. will fall by the wayside and eBay Inc. will become a merger target. Do you think that's a good assessment of the landscape?
Best Buy Tests Free Recycling Program
If you live in the San Francisco, Minneapolis, or Baltimore areas, you can bring your old gear back to Best Buy for free. Contrast that with programs from stores like Staples, which charge you $10 per item. Do you think that providing the service for free will entice more people to recycle their gadgets?
FCC Chair Infers That Comcast Blocked, Not Delayed, Data
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Kevin Martin last week cast doubt on claims from cable provider Comcast that it only delayed access to file-sharing applications during peak traffic times rather than blocking it entirely. What do you make of it?
