Microsoft Windows 7 (Ultimate)

Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.

Dell Inspiron 700m

Small, thin, and perfect for working on the go, Dell's Inspiron 700m packs the essentials, along with several digital creature comforts.
