Reviews

Apple iMac Core 2 Duo (24-inch, 2.16GHz)
Other vendors might offer more flexible configurations and better deals on components, but we highly recommend this new iMac as PC that doubles as a secondary home-entertainment system.
TiVo Series3 HD DVR
The Series3 delivers dual-tuner HD recording and some worthwhile networking features to cable customers, but the exorbitant price tag will be too much for all but the most devoted TiVo fans.
Pioneer PDP-5070HD
Pioneer's PDP-5070HD 50-inch plasma sets a benchmark for flat-panel performance and is well worth the premium price for people who take video quality seriously.
ATI TV Wonder 650
ATI's flagship TV tuner card offers the best image quality we've seen from a TV tuner card and includes over-the-air HDTV support, but it's still not as good as a direct cable-box-to-TV signal.
Lenovo ThinkCentre A60
The Lenovo ThinkCentre A60 offers no-nonsense security features that business users need, along with decent components for a reasonable price. Only its short warranty gives us pause.
2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid
Following the roaring success of the Prius, Toyota has a lot to live up to with the release of its next hybrid car, and the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid doesn't disappoint.
