McAfee Total Protection 2010

McAfee Total Protection 2010 hits many of the right notes. It's easy to use and it's effective, but years of below-average releases will likely leave many users unwilling to give it a try.
Asus Eee PC Seashell 1201N

As one of the few netbooks with a dual-core Atom processor and Nvidia Ion graphics, the 12.1-inch Eee PC 1201N has superior performance compared with most Atom-based machines, but any higher-level ULV thin-and-light will still do better.
Lenovo ThinkPad Edge (13-inch)

With a relatively affordable starting price and a new design, the ThinkPad Edge loosens up the ThinkPad look — but losing an optical drive keeps it a yard short of being a top-choice compact business laptop.
Netgear ReadyNAS Pro

With the ReadyNAS Pro, Netgear has proven it's still king of the hill. However, some interface quirks, inelegant recovery from catastrophic volume failure, and poor volume, user and share management may put some users off.
HTC Touch HD

The Touch HD is a fantastic phone, if you can afford one. It out-performs every HTC phone previously and looks fantastic doing it.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

The X1's good looks and strong hardware are hampered by frequent performance lag, an unintuitive user experience and its jaw-dropping price tag.
Windows 7 pre-beta (build 6801)

At first glance, Windows 7 appears to be an advanced iteration of Windows Vista, but more consumer-friendly, with many user interface enhancements.
Nokia E71

With its combination of excellent features and performance, matched with sleek design and its affordable price tag, Nokia's E71 manages to outshine recently released smartphones as our business phone of choice.
