Hardware RSS FeedsGateway DX 4720-03 - Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5 GHz - The Gateway DX4720-03 performs admirably and actually holds its own against triple-core computers thanks to its impressive list of features. It also has plenty of room for internal expansion, so we recommend this budget system if you need the speed but don't crave a ton of CPU power....Feed Source: reviews.cnet.com Asus X83VM-X1 - Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26 GHz, 14.1-inch TFT - The Asus X83VM-X1 is a well-rounded 14-inch mainstream laptop. It boasts a pleasing design (aside from the stiff, loud mouse buttons), and excellent application performance and 3D graphics performance for the money.... Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, Nvidia GeForce 9400M w/ 512MB) - Apple's redesigned 15-inch MacBook Pro boasts a redesigned aluminum body that's stunning, thin, and sturdy; a new trackpad with expanded functionality; and a dual graphics setup for either longer battery life or better performance, but there's now less incentive to spend extra for it because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.... Sony VAIO VGN-TT190EIN - Small laptops have become synonymous with low-cost Netbooks, but Sony's Vaio TT reminds us why some ultraportables can cost almost 10 times as much (hint: the 256GB SSD helps).... HP Pavilion A6620f - The HP Pavilion a6620f makes a decent case for its budget price. We like the design and the built-in digital-audio ports, and if you're on an unbreakable budget, the a6620f will get you through a variety of processes, but we recommend saving up for a system that will give you a more powerful set of components for a negligible price difference.... eMachines ET1161-03 - The eMachines ET1161-03 delivers fewer features than its competition at the same price. Stretch your dollar further and you'll find a desktop with significantly better components for only $50 more.... Belkin N+ Wireless Router - The Belkin N+ Wireless Router is a great performer with excellent range and throughput speed. If its bulky design and lack of 5GHz frequency support don't put you off, the router is worth every penny of its $100 or so price tag.... HP Mini 1000 - HP may have arrived late to the consumer Netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.... Dell Studio MT - This off-the-shelf version of the Dell Studio Desktop reminds us of a classic Dell computer. This system is faster and better equipped than its competition, and at a better price. You can certainly get away with a cheaper everyday PC, but this one is a bargain among lower midrange desktops.... HP dv4-1125nr - If you can get past its poor battery life, you'll find a lot to like about the 14-inch, feature-packed HP Pavilion dv4-1125nr.... Sony Vaio NS140E/S - Thanks to its low-cost, solid construction, roomy and comfortable keyboard, and current Intel platform, the Sony Vaio VGN-NS140E is a 15-inch mainstream laptop worthy of your consideration.... HP dv4-1155se - This Special Edition Pavilion laptop boasts a bit of flare with some cool graphics embossed on its case, but a nearly identical Intel-based Pavilion dv4 model delivers more bang for less buck. Plus, the huge battery on the Pavilion dv4-1155se is heavy and awkward.... HP Compaq Presario SR5610f - The HP Compaq Presario SR5610f stirs together a mix of mediocre parts in a cookie-cutter chassis, brewing up an altogether yawn-worthy computer. The price tag falls in line with other budget systems that feature similar components, but we recommend spending $50 more on the Acer x3200, a well designed compact PC that can carry more weight across a wider variety of applications.
... Gateway MC7801u - With an HD-friendly 16-inch screen and beautiful design, the affordably priced Gateway MC7801u makes an excellent portable media center, provided your HD content is not on a Blu-ray disc.... HP Pavilion dv3510nr - Best Buy listened to its customers and then teamed up with HP to create the Pavilion dv3510nr, one of the big box store's first Blue Label laptops. This sleek-yet-loaded 13-inch laptop deserves a blue ribbon, too, for its all-around excellence and value.... HP G60-125nr - If you need a 16:9 display in a small 15-inch format, there are cheaper and more powerful choices than HP's G60-125NR.... Sony VGNFW270J/W - With a sleek design, HD-friendly display, and a Blu-ray-writable drive, the 16-inch Sony Vaio FW270 is a near-ideal portable entertainment center.... Toshiba L355D-S7825 - The Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7825 delivers a broad, 17.1-inch display at a low price, but at the cost of performance and battery life.... Sony Vaio AW125J/H - Sony's Vaio AW125J/H is an aesthetically pleasing multimedia machine, and those familiar with Sony's high-end laptops will be surprised to find out it's also the cheapest 18-inch Blu-ray-equipped laptop we've tested.... Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-S1001V - Double down on the memory and the 13-inch Toshiba Satellite U400-S1001X becomes a well-rounded laptop that will withstand the rigors of business travel.... Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition - Thanks to an expensive new motherboard requirement, Intel's new Core i7 desktop processors will remain enthusiast and professional-level parts until more affordable complementary hardware comes out later next year. Speed never comes cheap, however, and if you're willing to spend for it now, you'll find yourself in possession of the fastest CPU on the market.... Acer Aspire AX3200-U3600A - As much as Acer's Aspire X3200 surpasses other pricier PCs with its wide array of useful inputs and outputs, you'll have a hard time choosing between it and its otherwise identical dual-core Acer linemate of the same price. If you're a multitasker on a budget, you'll likely prefer this model's triple-core CPU.... D-Link Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router DIR-825 - The D-Link Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router DIR-825 is a stable performer with great features and an excellent Web interface. The outdated and bulky design, relatively short range, and merely average throughput, however, lessen its appeal.... Lenovo IdeaPad S10 - 42312DU (Red) - Lenovo's "me, too!" entry in the Netbook sweepstakes, the IdeaPad S10, gets the price and features right, but falls behind on battery life.... Gateway T-6330U - The Gateway T-6330U's attractive case design and lengthy battery life make it a good pick for budget-minded shoppers who want a more portable midsize laptop.... National Ethernet versus Legacy Frame Relay/ATM - If your wide area network is constructed using Frame Relay or ATM technologies, National Ethernet from THUS is a leading next-generation networking service that can offer cost savings and many service related benefits relative to your current networking. No matter whether your business is looking to reduce ICT costs and improve ROI, requires more bandwidth for a similar ongoing cost to your existing networking, wishes to gain access to multiple services delivered cost effectively down a single pipe into sites or even if your business is quite happy with its current networking, we recommend that you take a few minutes to read this paper as National Ethernet really does offer a viable alternative.... Cable Sharing in Commercial Building Environments: Reducing Cost, Simplifying Cable Management, and Converging Applications onto Twisted-Pair Media - This white paper introduces the topic of cabling sharing to telecommunications professionals responsible for enterprise networks. Cable sharing describes the practice of running more than one application over different pairs of a twisted-pair copper telecommunications channel thereby reducing costs, simplifying cable management, and converging applications onto one media type in commercial building environments. The growing market acceptance of fully-shielded (i.e. "category 7" or "class F") cabling systems has been identified as the primary reason why cable sharing techniques are appearing in the designs of the industry's top IT infrastructure designers and consultants. Cable sharing meets the increasing demand for high-density, low-speed application support as more and more equipment devices support IP protocol, Ethernet communication, and operation over twisted-pair cabling.... New Architectures and Technologies for Software-Defined Radio Base Stations - Wireless communication standards are evolving very fast. Operators and system suppliers do not have the same philosophies when it comes to delivering the multitude of different mobile communication standards (UMTS FDD, HSDPA, HSUPA, WiMAX). <br><br>To allow the operators of the infrastructure to reuse their existing sites, Alcatel is in the process of merging the different air-interface standards into a single base station architecture, based on Alcatel's Node B, using a software-defined radio approach. As a result, a single hardware solution will provide highly flexible usage of multiple frequency bands and multiple standards at the same time. <br><br>Suitable Multi-Standard/Multi-Band approaches and architectures are being researched at Alcatel R&I Stuttgart. A first laboratory prototype for a Multi-Band Transceiver is available today and demonstrates the technical feasibility.... The Business Benefits of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) - Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is still a work-in-progress, but it's beginning to bear fruit in small, controlled environments.<br><br>SIP offers the promise of supporting a wide range of services beyond basic telephony, including instant messaging, presence management, and voice-enabled, web-based e-commerce. It can enable powerful enterprise applications that reduce cost, improve user productivity, and strengthen customer interactions.<br><br>Over time, SIP services will expand and enhance existing business processes and procedures, becoming an extension of the way in which we work today.... AT&T's Four Points of Convergence - Navigating Your Transition to Services over IP: Driving for Enhanced Productivity and Stronger Returns - Internet protocol (IP) is the unifying technology that has made possible today's extraordinary level of convergence and interoperability among communications systems, applications and devices.
