Review Roundup: Big-Screen GPS Devices
If you have any major summer road traveling panned this year, you've probably given some serious thought to investing in a GPS device to keep your trip on track. The problem with many devices, though, is that their screens are scarcely over 4 inches. That's not the case with these five GPSs, all of which have at least 5.2-inch screens.



Expert Help: Digitize Your Records and Tapes
If you're anything like me, you have probably held on to a ton of analog recordings over the years and now have piles of vinyl records, cassette tapes, and VHS video sitting around the house collecting dust. Now you can resurrect those old recordings and convert them to digital audio and video in a few quick steps. Here's how.



Review: Dell's Muscular Small-Biz PC
In the market for a capable computer that can easily handle all your business needs? The Dell Vostro 410 is a powerful PC for small businesses. A single business user will be happy with the high-end performance, added features, and total lack of bloatware. The price, though, may scare some off. How much is it, and is it worth the cost? Check out the full review to find out.

Plus: A True Desktop Alternative
The Toshiba Satellite P305-S8825 is an affordable laptop that offers all the benefits of a desktop PC.



Feature: The NBA Finals MVP Is a Laptop
Every scoreboard change you see while falling off the edge of your seat during the NBA finals are all run by an unassuming pair of Lenovo X60 tablet PCs courtside. Here two PC Magazine editors followed the data path that each play, point, and jump shot takes on its way to you. Find out how it works on PCMag.com.

Plus: The Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet
Read all about our Editors' Choice tablet PC that sits at the heart of the game.



Review: An Appealing LCD HDTV
The Sharp Aquos LC-32D44U offers a detailed picture at an attractive price, but some picture-performance quirks may dissuade video purists. Given its svelte $1,000 price, this 32-incher may still be worth a second look. Head over to PCMag.com and learn more about its video performance in the full review.



Expert Help: Dual-Boot Linux and Windows XP
Most of us assume that buying a new PC involves making a choice over what operating system to install, whether it's Windows, Mac, or Linux. But why settle for just one OS when you can run two? Apple already offers that option using Boot Camp or Parallels, but you can set up a dual-boot on Windows and Linux boxes, too. Check out how we did it using the ASUS EeePC900.
