Asus U36JC A1 - Core i5 460M 2.53GHz - 13.3" TFT
Reviewed on January 27, 2011
The thin, powerful Asus U36JC-A1 packs a lot of computer under its slim 13-inch hood, but some might want to wait for next-gen Intel processors to sweeten the deal.

Asus U33Jc-A1 (bamboo)
Reviewed on July 28, 2010
A welcome change of pace from the usual glossy plastic and brushed-metal laptop styles, the bamboo-clad Asus U33Jc-A1 looks great and also packs in some very useful technology.

Apple MacBook Air
Reviewed on January 24, 2008
The design is revolutionary, but Apple's MacBook Air will appeal to a smaller, more specialized audience than the standard MacBook, thanks to a stripped-down set of connections and features.

Acer Aspire Predator G7750-U222
Reviewed on September 15, 2010
You'll probably decide pretty quickly whether you like the Acer Aspire Predator's looks. Those in favor will also find a higher-end gaming PC with reasonably fast performance and plenty of room to expand and upgrade. Not everyone will appreciate the Predator's visual charms, but we recommend this PC to those who do.

Acer Aspire G5900-U3092 Predator - Core i7 870 2.93GHz
Reviewed on December 8, 2010
Even if we hadn't seen faster PCs for less this holiday season, we'd still take issue with the value proposition of the Acer Aspire Predator G5900-U3092. With few extra features or connectivity options to justify its $1,349 price tag, this PC trades primarily on its unique design--a poor substitute for useful functionality.

Velocity Micro Edge Z30 (Intel Core i7)
Reviewed on September 10, 2009
Velocity Micro's Edge Z30 is the best deal going right now for midlevel gaming PCs featuring Intel's new Core i7 chips. The overclocked Core i7 860, a fast Nvidia graphics card, and a solid selection of features all around make it easy for us to recommend this system to anyone looking for a capable gaming desktop.

Lenovo IdeaPad U350 (3GB RAM, 250GB HDD)
Reviewed on August 16, 2009
If you're searching for a great-looking thin-and-light laptop at a good price, the Lenovo IdeaPad U350 bridges the gap between personal and professional and is worth checking out. But its design is more successful than its horsepower.

Velocity Micro Edge Z5 (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 Overclocked)
Reviewed on March 26, 2009
By tweaking its internal components to achieve maximum 3D performance, Velocity Micro has made its $999 Edge Z5 one of the most impressive lower-end gaming desktops we've ever seen. As long as you don't mind sacrificing a bit of productivity speed to get it, we recommend this system to any PC gamer on a budget.
