Reviewed on July 29, 2009HP's biz-minded Mini 5101 is a successor to the Mini 2140 (one of our all-time favorite Netbooks). It looks and feels great, but for a premium-price Netbook, we expect to get more features, not fewer.TAGS:Netbook, keyboard, Expresscard, HP, Intel, mouse
Reviewed on July 29, 2009Toshiba improves on last year's excellent Best Buy Blue Label laptop by slashing the price while serving up a nearly identical machine. Long battery life, a lengthy warranty, and a backlit keyboard highlight Toshiba's winning Satellite E105-S1602.TAGS:pad, chassis, Toshiba Satellite, Toshiba, keyboard, satellite, Best Buy Co.

Reviewed on September 29, 2009HP's upscale Envy 13 looks and feels like an expensive status symbol, with performance and features that impress us--but its high price makes it a tough sell over the similar-looking MacBook Pro.TAGS:Voodoo, Apple MacBook, Apple MacBook Pro, key, HP, keyboard, battery, laptop computer, mouse, CPU
Reviewed on January 7, 2007HP's new TouchSmart PC IQ770 is not as fast as Apple's iMac, nor does it have the same clean-lined elegance. It makes up for those problems with intuitive touch screen software you'll actually use and a comprehensive lineup of features. If you're looking for a home PC to organize your family's schedule, or serve up media in a kitchen or another small room, we know of no other system suited so well for the task.TAGS:HP TouchSmart, touch screen, stylus, Apple iMac, HP, Microsoft Windows Vista, Apple Computer, mouse, keyboard, PC, operating system, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on April 8, 2008Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mininotebook, making it fast a favorite for on-the-go use.TAGS:Asus Eee PC, Netbook, keyboard, resolution, webcam, HP, ASUS, laptop computer, Intel, PC
Reviewed on April 27, 2009We suspect lower-end configurations of the Dell Studio One 19 all-in-one desktop will draw consumers looking for a low-cost, "fast enough" PC. But even its multitouch interface can't save our expensive review unit from other vendors' similarly priced all-in-ones with better features for the dollar.TAGS:HP TouchSmart, Dell Studio, Dell, tablet, Sony Vaio, keyboard, ASUS, Sony Corp., HP, Microsoft Windows
