Go online to learn more. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1235-4-54-252229-117131-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ First Looks Roundup: 16X DVD Burners Technically, 16X DVD rewriters aren't much faster than their 12X siblings, but there's more to these new burners than just speed-like reliable dual-layer recording. We take a close look at four products that utilize the latest DVD-recording technology, rating them not just on their top-notch speed but also compatibility and reliability. Our experts believe 16X is about as fast as DVD burning's going to get, so is it time to upgrade? Read what our PC Labs analysts have to say in our online review roundup. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1235-4-54-252229-117134-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Editors' Choice: Toshiba's "Portable" Projector The Toshiba TDP-T91U is portable in the strictest sense of the word--it can be moved. But it's big enough and heavy enough that you won't want to haul it too far from the office. Still, the TDP-T91U performed extremely well in our benchmark tests, outperforming its own reported specifications and winning our Editors' Choice award. It's a great projector for classrooms and boardrooms, but maybe not airplanes. See our online review for full details.

Beginning video editors will be able to jump right in and use canned effects to spruce up their video projects, while pros will find it a perfect compliment to Apple's DVD Studio Pro and Final Cut Pro.

Sony's Purse-Sized PC We know what you're thinking: "Only available in Japan," right? But the Sony VAIO U750P is actually a slightly modified Sony Vaio U70 (already available in Japan), and is coming to U.S. soil sometime soon. The U750P is both small enough to fit in a purse and powerful enough to run a full-fledged Windows OS.
