Windows Mobile-based cell phone offers an appealing design and an impressive array of software, but its talk-time battery life is poor.
Don’t let the sleek design of Palm’s new Treo 750 fool you: This is a serious business device. The Windows Mobile-based phone, available for $500 with a two-year contract from AT&T’s Cingular Wireless unit, includes mobile Office applications, world phone capabilities, and support for Cingular’s 3G UMTS high-speed network; but business users may not tolerate its poor talk-time battery life.
This big notebook is ideal for gaming, but has an uncomfortable keyboard.
With its Area-51m 5750 entertainment-focused notebook, Alienware appears to be courting consumers who might ordinarily choose an HP Pavilion or Toshiba Qosmio as their 17-inch-screen desktop replacement. The effort is not without merit. The Area-51m 5750 is a fast gamer with superb stereo sound and an instant-on DVD capability, like its competitors. But a flawed keyboard and fewer entertainment options lessen its appeal.
Lightweight 17-incher has a beautiful screen and comes loaded with useful software. It’s fast, too.
For people who appreciate finer laptop accoutrements such as a backlit keyboard and a slot-fed DVD drive, Apple has crafted another tasty offering in the form of the 17-inch MacBook Pro. Sleek, powerful, and able to run Windows as well as the Mac operating system, the MacBook Pro makes a strong case for becoming anyone’s ultimate notebook.
A huge, 20.1-inch display and solid multimedia features help this hefty desktop replacement stand out.
Whatever your work or entertainment aspirations, Acer’s new notebook can probably handle it. This desktop replacement’s enormous (20.1-inch) screen is bright and crisp, and its speakers are outstanding. A powerful workstation and an adequate gaming rig, it includes TV, Webcam, and bundled PC Card-chargeable VoIP phone features.
For a big unit, the 9810 has decent near-2-hour battery life and runs remarkably coolly. But it needs a detachable keyboard, to permit a more comfortable working distance away from the huge screen. And at a gargantuan 18.7 inches long by 15.1 inches deep by 2.7 inches tall, the 9810-6829 takes up 40 percent more space than the average desktop replacement configured with a 17-inch screen–so plan on doing some serious desktop reorganizing to clear sufficient space for it.
