MSI X-Slim X400 (Core 2 Duo U2300 Processor 1.3GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review MSI may be a major player in the PC component business, but when it comes to the international notebook market it does not have the same market share as Acer, another Taiwanese vendor. This is probably a reflection on the lack of mind share as MSI machines are not simply copies but feature...

HP Pavilion dm3 (Intel Core 2 Duo ULV U7300 processor 1.3GHz, 4GB RAM)

Review The HP Pavilion dm series is the first ultrathin range in the company's consumer entertainment lineup and consists of the 11.6-inch dm1 and 13.3-inch dm3. The trademarks of an ultrathin laptop are the omission of an optical drive as well as the use of AMD Neo or Intel CULV chips. The Pavilion...

Canon EOS 7D

Review Canon basically ceded the midrange, pro-performance dSLR market to Nikon in 2005 with the arrival of the D200. Since then, Canon's 30D, 40D, and 50D have taken the slower but less-expensive road, with a relatively stagnant autofocus (AF) system that Nikon leapfrogged. But with entirely new AF and...

Panasonic Viera TH-L37V11S (37-inch LCD)

Review The Panasonic Viera TH-L37V11S may be unusually petite for a flagship LCD TV, but this 37-incher features some of the best visual technologies available under the company's belt.

Sharp Aquos LC-40LE700M (40-inch LCD)

Review The Aquos LC-40LE700M is conceived by Sharp to "bridge" the huge price premium between a traditional and an LED-lit LCD TV. To achieve this feat, this 40-incher is stripped bare of all value-added features such as Integrated Digital TV (IDTV), multimedia playback, etc. In fact, what the Japanese...

Sony Alpha DSLR-A850

Review Full-frame dSLRs have always been sought after by advanced shutterbugs and professional photographers for their better image quality, but such shooters are usually tagged with a premium price. Last year, Sony dropped the bomb with the full-frame Alpha DSLR-A900, the world's highest-resolution dSLR...

Nokia N900

Review The Nokia Internet Tablet series debuted in 2005 as companion devices for browsing the Internet with a large touchscreen. The devices never really took off. Unlike the earlier models, the Finnish company has dropped the Internet Tablet moniker from its latest iteration and is simply calling it the...

HP Mini by Studio Tord Boontje (Intel Atom N280 Processor 1.66GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review The HP Mini 110 originally offered a decent combo of cool design, typical Netbook components, and a reasonable price.
