  • Toshiba 22DV615Y LCD TV/DVD Combo

    Toshiba's 22DV615Y LCD TV/DVD combo unit is compact and simple to use, but screen quality could be better.

  • Asus M60J

    Core i7 is here in mobile form. Some vendors will be attempting to rush these laptops out as close to the Windows 7 launch as possible. Keep an eye out — looks like the season to upgrade is well and truly upon us.

  • Panasonic DMR-XW350

    The Panasonic DMR-XW350 DVD recorder is similar to the XW450 in that you can watch Picasa and YouTube, but features a smaller 250GB hard drive.
