Windows 7 Phone Set For Autumn Unveiling

Retailers are preparing for a September launch of Microsoft Windows Phone 7, according to some info that has leaked on the internet.

The Outstanding, Wafer-Thin Samsung UE55C9000

Acer Aspire 8935G-904G1TBwn: A Strange Mix of Old and New Technology

Acer's latest multimedia laptop is a puzzling mix of technology. The Aspire 8935G-904G1TBwn boasts a massive eighteen-inch screen and a full-scale desktop keyboard, yet lags behind its rivals with a slightly outdated CPU and minimal gaming hardware.

MSI X400-225UK: A Great, Albeit Flawed Ultra Portable Machine

MSI's latest creation isn't a low-end netbook or a high-end gaming laptop, but a relatively standard portable notebook computer.

Getac B300: The Laptop World’s Ludicrously Expensive 007 Rig

Go anywhere, do anything, compute without fear. That's what the new Getac B300 laptop promises, and we have a feeling it's a promise that's completely accurate. You see, this isn't an ordinary laptop, but a James Bond-style piece of technology; a piece of rugged computing tech that wouldn't seem at all out of place on the inside of a military transport or cockpit of a fighter jet.
