Dell's Creating a Real Mobile Division to Make Phones
Dell's reorganizing the entire company to create a bonafide mobile division that will make work on phones and other portable thingers, headed up by Ron Garriques, formerly of Motorola. Incidentally, Dell's consumer PC division is getting rolled into the small-business unit—which kinda smells weird to us, especially considering how Dell's shrinking. More »

Asus Eee PC 1008P Netbook: Next-Gen Atom N450 Processor, Garishly Pink
HardwareZone got the scoop on this upcoming Seashell 2 netbook designed by Karim Rashid. It has a 1.8GHz Pineview Atom N450 CPU, Windows 7, and a new slide-out battery…but its other specs are boringly normal—no Nvidia Ion graphics. More »

Razer Imperator Review
The Imperator is Razer's latest gaming mouse, and it may be their best—oddly, because it feels like a mouse from an entirely different company. More »

The Astro A40 is the premier chat-ready 5.1 surround sound gaming headset on the market, compatible with Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. But unlike the Turtle Beach X41, it's wired. More »

Razer Imperator Gaming Mouse With Slip-Slidey Thumb Buttons
Razer's Imperator is pretty standard right-handed Razer gaming mouse (5600dpi tracking, etc.), but it has sliding thumb buttons, so you can adjust exactly where they sit on the mouse. Could be gimmicky, but I'm definitely intrigued. [Razer]

Benchmarked: The Quad-Core i7 iMac is Super Fast
Our iMac review included a 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo chip inside, but we received the top-of-the-line iMac housing the more promising 2.8GHz Core i7 processor. Do more cores make up for lower clock speeds? Yes. Often 2X to 3X. More »

Microsoft Retail Store PCs Will Be Crapware-Free, But I'm Still Unsatisfied
No one likes uninstalling bloatware, trialware, and craplets from their freshly unboxed PCs. Microsoft finally acknowledges this by skipping the unnecessary third-party software in Microsoft retail store PCs. That's truly great, but they should do a little more than that. More »

PC Makers May Have Too Much Stock, Deals On the Way?
Sounds like PC makers might have missed Ballmer's call for tempered Windows 7 expectations. There's a chance that they're sitting on a glut of inventory now, is there any hope that excess stock will translate to even better holiday deals? More »

Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard Has More Purple Lights Than a Discoteque
Logitech's more basic counterpart to the ridiculous G19 gaming keyboard, the G110 is screenless, playing up custom lighting with "red, blue, or pretty much any shade of purple you can imagine." Mostly, I'm glad they finally integrated some headset jacks. More »

Acer Aspire Z5610 Emphasizes Style Over Speed
The Z5610 seems like a better-looking, but less powerful version of the Gateway ZX6800. Both all-in-one PCs have 23-inch (1080p) multi-touch displays, and Windows 7. But the Z5610's 2.6GHz Pentium E5300 processor won't match the Gateway's Core 2 Quad chip. More »

Almost Nobody Owns Just Macs
NPD's Household Penetration Study found a 3% uptick in Mac households for 2009. This makes sense! What's surprising (or not) is that of the 12% of homes with a Mac, less than 2% are Mac-exclusive. More »

Your Childhood PC, Perfectly Simulated on the iPhone
