MacBook Pro vs. the PC competition

Mac or PC? The war rages on. We've thrown the most recent 13-inch MacBook Pro and the closest PC to a Mac we've seen, the Asus U80V, into the ring for an all out brawl.

LG Viewty Smart

It's called the Viewty Smart, but it's definitely not a smartphone. Aside from the decent camera, there's very little to recommend this high-priced mobile.

Reviews

  • BlackBerry 8707g

    The BlackBerry 8707g is reasonably zippy and easy-to-use, but lacks many common smartphone features like Wi-Fi and microSD memory expansion.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.4GHz)

    Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a solid under-the-hood upgrade for better performance and longer battery life, allowing the MacBook Pro to put enough distance between itself and the lower-end MacBook to justify its higher price.

  • ASUS U1F

  • Nokia N80

    This feature-packed 3G phone with a 3-megapixel camera mostly excels, but is held back slightly by a maddening navigation key and short battery life.

  • O2 Orion

    O2's clearly not done yet for the year. Having surprised us with the delectable Xda Atom and Xda Mini Pro PDA-phones, it has unveiled the Orion.

  • CES 2009 preview: Home audio

    CES 2009 proves once again that audio has plateaued. Can't someone just make a simple player that does everything?

  • Top 5 iPod features you'll never see

    All signs point to a new crop of iPods in September, and while I'm as interested in the rumours and blurry "leaked" photos as the next fanboy, I'm also preparing myself for disappointment.

  • A bridge to the future of the iPod

    More than six years into the iPod era, Apple still stands atop the music player landscape. But what comes next?

  • Time awards iPhone "invention of the year"
