HOLIDAY TECH STORIES

  • Holiday retail desktop and laptop reviews roundup

    The all-important holiday season is here again, and with it the inevitable confusion about how to find the best deals on desktops and laptops. CNET compares 41 retail PCs (laptops and desktops), and picks the best models in each category.

  • Nook back on sale

    After selling out over the winter holidays, Barnes & Noble's e-book reader is back online and is set to arrive in B&N stores by midweek.

  • Friday Poll: Where will you watch the big game?

    It's highly unlikely you'll be watching it on a 19-inch CRT TV from 1992. No, you're stoked for Sunday because it's the day your home theater is made for. Right?
