Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-415 review

Reviews To keep the price of the laptop down, Toshiba has loaded the machine with Windows Vista Home Basic, the entry-level version of Microsoft's new operating system. The Intel Celeron M430, which runs at 1.72GHz, has a decent amount of grunt to deal...

HTC Shift review

Reviews Arguably, the most interesting button of all is one that lets you switch between Windows Vista Business edition and an alternative Windows Mobile-based graphical user interface -- more on this later. The downside is that it's not possible to add...

Samsung Q310 review

Reviews One difference is that the Q310 packs 4GB of system memory as opposed to the Q210's 3GB, but since the installed 32-bit Vista Home Premium can't handle more than 3GB, you won't see a performance boost unless you upgrade to 64-bit.

HP Pavilion TX1020ea review

Reviews You may want to make use of Vista's ReadyBoost feature or things will get sluggish in memory-intensive applications. You get HP's standard one-year carriage and return warranty along with Vista Home Premium Edition, and a half-decent selection of...

Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2 review

Reviews This means that while it will work with Vista, it won't support the latest and greatest 3D features, so your £400 investment will be out-of-date only six months after you buy it, assuming Microsoft hits its targeted January Vista release date.

Philips SPC-900NC webcam review

Reviews PerformanceInstallation is pretty straightforward, but you'll have to head to the Philips Web site for Vista drivers -- they're not included on the bundled CD. On one Vista machine, anytime we clicked the Audio tab, the entire VLounge app froze and...

Asus N50V preview

Reviews Our sample of the N50V came with no operating system at all, but final versions are expected to ship with a version of Windows Vista. Here, you can perform most of the tasks you'd do in Windows, without the hassle of booting Vista.

Linksys Media Center Extender DMA2200 review

Reviews This was quickly remedied, despite Windows Vista throwing a hissy fit and not properly communicating what the actual problem was. The former is self-explanatory and the latter looks exactly like the Windows Media Center interface you find in the...

Dell Studio 17 review

Reviews It's not as if it's giving us the choice to upgrade to a 64-bit operating system, which would have made sense -- the 32-bit Vista Ultimate is as far as you can go. We're not saying having lots of RAM is pointless, but rather the 32-bit versions of...

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2727 review
