| Toshiba Satellite A305-S6845 Review |
| 2008-05-01 07:13:00 |
Toshiba’s Satellite line has undergone an extreme makeover. The stodgy design of past years has been replaced by a mesmerizing look that makes the A305-S6845 one of the sexiest 15.4-inch notebooks yet. But this mainstream machine isn’t just eye candy; it packs enough processing muscle to handle moderately intensive multimedia, games, and multitasking, and it’s portable enough to take with you from time to time. We wish the facial recognition program were easier to set up, but otherwise the...

| Systemax Medallion XVII Review |
| 2008-05-01 07:04:00 |
The Systemax Medallion XVII packs many of the same components as the ChemBook Z7-1719 we recently reviewed into a similar-looking chassis, and that’s not a good thing. Built for general use plus some media and light gaming, the Medallion XVII fared even worse on our tests than the ChemBook, owing to its Windows Vista operating system and slow 5,400-rpm hard drive. In a world of fast-dropping notebook prices, the Medallion XVII’s $1,299 price tag is too high for the performance it offers.Desi...

Dell felt it was time to shake up the tablet market with its first ever convertible, the Latitude XT. And shake it up it does: The system is the first convertible to employ capacitive touch technology for its display, which means you can manipulate the screen better than ever before with your fingers. The capacitive touch also helps future-proof your purchase, in that it will support multi-touch applications when those become available. We also like that you can configure this convertible with a...
