Reviews

  • MSI Wind

    This is one of the best mini laptops so far — it's comfortable to use, has a good display and it's affordable.

  • Pentax K20D

    Pentax's 14-megapixel K20D is a great choice for a mid-range digital SLR and offers a lot of bang for the buck.

  • Robotic Prius drives itself around San Francisco

    An unusual motorcade made its way across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge early one morning the other week: a silver Toyota Prius, complete with police escort and camera crew, but with no driver at the wheel.
