News: Dell Projector Offers High Brightness, Low Price

Dell's new 2300MP digital projector is priced competitively at $1499, projects images at XGA resolution (1024 by 768 pixels), and offers a brightness rating of 2300 lumens. The 2300MP isn't the lightest projector around, at 4.7 pounds, though.

Review: Toshiba's Media Center Notebook

All work and no play? Then Toshiba's Satellite P25-S670 ($2699) isn't for you. The desktop replacement notebook is also an entertainment center, including the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition operating system, a TV-tuner module, and a handheld remote control. If you must work, you'll find that the keyboard is roomy, the screen is large, and there are two front modular bays for expansion. At nearly 10 pounds, though, it's doubtful you'll be hitting the road too often with this Satellite. (You can check our Product Finder for the latest prices.)
