The Best, the Worst, and the Ugliest: 2008 It's astounding. Time is fleeting. Another 12 months have flashed past, so it's time for HardwareCentral's eighth annual (Special Recession Edition) collection of huzzahs and howls at the products and technologies that defined the year. Here's 2008 in a nutshell, including one tasty and one bad Apple, a crowded field for Product of the Year, and the annual waffling over the next Windows. Monday , January 05, 2009 04:50:00 PM |

Save Us, Windows 7! Retail sales are falling like a skydiver without a parachute. The fearsome R-word -- recession -- has become the E-word, said by everyone every day. Is there any good news for the PC industry amid the doom and gloom? Yes, from some unlikely sources (let's hear it for hardcore gamers) and from users and IT managers suddenly looking favorably on that favorite bugaboo, Microsoft.

Mini Mobile PCs: Now Comes the Hard Part It's a myth that lightning never strikes the same place twice, but what are the odds against catching lightning in a bottle twice? The ultralight, ultra-affordable subnotebook PC category that the Asus Eee ignited last winter will soon see a second generation of what are now called netbooks -- but this time around, it might be Eee II: The Laptop Strikes Back.

Falling Off the Catwalk The economy's in a slump and PCs are in danger of becoming interchangeable commodity products anyway. So how can hardware manufacturers perk up sales and prop up profit margins? Chrome trim and pretty colors, of course, as vendors ranging from Dell to Staples introduce limited-edition artistic cases and fashionable decorations. HardwareCentral editor Eric is bemused. Apple is unworried. Friday , May 23, 2008 12:00:00 PM |

The Best, the Worst, and the Ugliest: 2007 Asleep by 10:30? Not at the Labs, Weather, & Sports Desk, where New Year's Eve is like any other midnight -- time to start a fresh count of the day's Diet Pepsis, along with a last look over the, uh, vista of the dozen months past. Our seventh annual flashback bounces from nifty notebooks and cool Web tools to HDTV headaches, poorly launched processors, and a surprise pick for Product of the Year.

The Tick-Tock of Doom, or For Whom Intel Tolls Processor upgrades: just say no? HardwareCentral editor Eric won't go that far, but finds reasons not to tie your purchases to Intel's newly announced policy of scheduling new CPU designs and less radical manufacturing and power-saving improvements for alternate years. He also covets a 433MHz notebook and considers the apocalypse: putting a Mac on the Labs, Weather, & Sports Desk. Tuesday , September 25, 2007 10:10:00 AM |

Get Ready To Gain Two Pounds Last week, Palm sounded the trumpets and threw confetti for what it described as a new category of portable technology -- only to get an immediate, unimpressed "Uh, no thanks" in response. But while the Treo manufacturer's new Foleo may falter, Intel, VIA, and other vendors are betting you'll crave a real, live Windows PC that weighs in at the same two pounds for way under $1,000.
