Reviews

Corel Digital Studio 2010

A majority of home users will appreciate Corel Digital Studio's feature set, its interactive projects, and wide support for photo and video formats.
Asus Eee PC T91

Asus does a good job of combining a netbook and a touchscreen in the Eee PC T91, even if the system hits a couple of first-generation snags.
Linksys Ultra Rangeplus Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router WRT610N

Linksys' dual-range wireless router has a lot going for it, but still doesn't meet the 802.11n hype requirements.
Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive

The Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive is an attractive drive with a decent price. Its size makes it great for travel, but we can't recommend it due to its lack of performance.
MobileMe

MobileMe is the successor to .Mac, Apple's subscription service for publishing photos and other personal content to the Web.
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.
Acer Aspire One

The Acer Aspire One is better than most netbooks. It's fantastic for anyone who wants a small, cheap machine on which to type and surf the web. However, its battery life lets it down slightly.
Asus EeePC 901

The Eee is now faster, looks nicer, and has better battery life. It's also heavier and the keyboard is still too small, but we like it. A lot.
