The Targus Bluetooth Mouse for Macs.
To be totally honest, mice are generally platform-agnostic devices. Pretty much any USB, wireless, or Bluetooth mouse will work on both PCs and Macs. That, of course, doesn’t stop savvy marketers from designing products with an Apple-inspired look and feel. These are some …

We may think of Atom-powered Netbooks as the most basic of computers, good for Web surfing and e-mailing – but what would happen if someone stuffed a discrete graphics chip into one of these low-power, low-price systems?
It took Asus, the guys who pretty much created the Netbook market with …
We’ve seen more than our share of new laptop bags that adhere to TSA guidelines for getting through airport security quickly. Almost all follow the same basic premise of a two-compartment bag that butterflies open to lie flat on the X-ray machine conveyor belt. The separate compartment that holds …
Taking a peek at the big Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, there are plenty of big-screen TVs and cameras, but not quite as many laptops.

With Apple’s MacBook so popular and well-regarded, we’re always surprised that there aren’t more 13-inch laptops out there. After all, one of the reasons the MacBook resonates so well with people is because its 13-inch size hits the perfect balance between portability …
In any collection of similar laptops, the one with the Sony Vaio logo is likely to be the most expensive in the group. So, imagine our pleasant surprise to find the Vaio AW125 to be less expensive than the other 18-inch, Blu-ray equipped laptops we’ve seen.
