Fujitsu LifeBook P7010D review
Reviews Our test unit came preloaded with Microsoft Windows XP Pro and included Microsoft Works 7.0 and Sonic Solutions' Record Now for burning CDs and DVDs. The notebook's quiet and responsive keyboard is also small and crowded -- in particular, the comma...

O2 XDA Exec review
Reviews The XDA Exec runs Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0, and is the first handheld we've seen running this recently released OS. However, for this you'll need the forthcoming Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0 and Service Pack 2...

Alienware Area-51 m5700 review

Microsoft Xbox 360 review
Reviews The Xbox 360's onscreen Dashboard interface is truly stellar, and it's clear that the chaps at Microsoft looked less toward Windows and more toward the vaunted TiVo interface for their model. Digital media on your home network are similarly...

Sony Vaio VGC-V2M review
Reviews Rather than opt for Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition, Sony has installed its own home-grown Media Center software on the Vaio. This has a less glitzy, more utilitarian feel to it than Microsoft's Media Center interface, but it is more...

Buffalo LinkTheater review
Reviews You'll need to be running Microsoft Windows 98SE or above, but bear in mind that you can connect your devices directly to the LinkTheater via USB. The menu system isn't good looking, but anyone used to Microsoft Windows will be able to pick it up.

Asus Eee PC S101 review
