Reviews

Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.
Apple iPod (updated fifth generation, 80GB)

The new "enhanced" iPod looks like a tremendous improvement over the last one, with a brighter screen and better battery life.
Dell XPS M2010

A striking feat of engineering that's sure to garner attention in a stylish home or on a multimedia-intensive sales call, the Dell XPS M2010 is simply too expensive and impractical to be anything more than a curio for the rest of us.
Apple MacBook (2.0GHz, 13-inch, black)

With the MacBook, Apple has corrected a handful of the iBook's shortcomings, hit a reasonable price point, and delivered a laptop that makes a great compromise between size and portability.
