Reviewed on November 7, 2008The Belkin N+ Wireless Router is a great performer with excellent range and throughput speed. If its bulky design and lack of 5GHz frequency support don't put you off, the router is worth every penny of its $100 or so price tag.TAGS:Belkin N+, Belkin Corp., router, IP address, IP, port, Linksys, USB, server, hard drive
Reviewed on October 27, 2008The D-Link Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router DIR-825 is a stable performer with great features and an excellent Web interface. The outdated and bulky design, relatively short range, and merely average throughput, however, lessen its appeal.TAGS:D-Link Systems, router, USB port, frequency, external hard drive, hard drive
Reviewed on November 4, 2009AVADirect's tries to distill as much gaming power as possible into its Nano Cube, but the extra small case requires too many sacrifices next to even standard small form factor PCs. Gaming purists with a need for an extra tiny PC might appreciate the Nanon Cube, but even they should be wary of everything you need to give up for this tiny desktop.TAGS:Nvidia GeForce, Intel Core 2 Duo, motherboard, networking, games, Intel, NVidia, video card, hard drive, PC
Reviewed on February 24, 2009Although expensive and difficult to use for networking novices, the Synology DS209+ offers awesome throughput speed and nearly all the features you could ever need in a NAS server.TAGS:NAS server, NAS, folder, server, USB port, hard drive, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on July 2, 2009Though their geotagging capabilities are mostly novelty and their interfaces could use a complete overhaul, the top-notch video quality, performance, and consumer-friendly feature sets of the Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V and HDR-XR520V make them worthy camcorder options. Both are overpriced, but since 14 hours of recording time is plenty--especially if supplemented with flash media--the HDR-XR500V is the better deal of the two.TAGS:Sony Handycam, touch screen, GPS, CMOS, Sony Corp., hard drive, camcorder, photograph, video
Reviewed on September 29, 2008Like its cousin, the flash-based HF11, Canon's Vixia HG20 delivers excellent HD video quality and performance albeit in a slightly larger, heavier package. However, you do get more storage space and a lower price.TAGS:Canon Vixia, lens, SDHC, AVCHD, Canon Inc., joystick, camcorder, flash memory, LCD, minute, hard drive, video
Reviewed on September 26, 2008The Seagate FreeAgent Go is our favorite portable hard drive to date and takes our award for Editors' Choice.

Reviewed on January 27, 2009Maingear's Ephex is the fastest PC we've reviewed, and also the most expensive. You can find better service policies from other boutique PC vendors, but the Ephex's overall speed and build quality are enough for us to recommend it to those in the market for the best desktop they can find.TAGS:Maingear, Intel Core Microarchitecture, LightScribe, Blu-ray, 64-bit, Intel, PC, video card, games, hard drive
Reviewed on February 20, 2009While other external hard drives offer built-in backup software, automatic data encryption, or rugged casing protection, the Transcend StoreJet 25F only promises, and delivers, the fastest data transfers at the lowest price. The missing FireWire prevents us from giving this Transcend an Editors' Choice award, but we still highly recommend this drive to storage hounds who don't mind USB 2.0.TAGS:gigabyte, megabyte, Seagate FreeAgent, ThinkPad, external hard drive, Lenovo, Seagate Technology, hard drive, Microsoft Windows
