Acer Aspire One

By Cisco Cheng
Acer has developed a reputation for selling inexpensive systems worldwide, so it's only natural that it would come up with its own affordable netbook (or UMPC). Pressure from the ASUS EeePC and the HP 2133 Mini-Note made the company realize that it had to be on the same gravy train. The Acer Aspire One ($319 street) enters a quickly expanding field of miniature laptops, in a race to see who can out-shrink one another while staying within a strict budget. It has the performance potential to surpass the competition and a $319 entry point is just as cheap as the Asus EeePC, but the typing and navigating experience is not on a par with its competitors.

Sony VAIO VGN-Z590

No other ultraportable line captures the essence of thinking outside the box like Sony's. It was the first to introduce a sub-4-pound ultraportable with an optical drive and discrete graphics. Its keyboard, first seen on the VAIO VGN-X505ZP, was mimicked on Apple's MacBook, and the VAIO VGN-SZ170P was switching between two different graphics solutions long before anyone had heard of switchable graphics. Their latest ultraportable, the Sony VAIO VGN-Z590, breaks new ground once again. The dual SSDs, a Blu-ray drive, and switching graphics are features commonly found on an 8-pound media center, not a 3.2-pound ultraportable. It's amazing that Sony was able to fit the amount of technology it did into such a small frame. With the Z590, therefore, Sony retains the Editors' Choice in the ultraportable category.

Antwerp diamonds history

WHEN Napoleon Bonaparte visited Antwerp in 1803, he did not mince his words with his opinion of the city as “the most backward provincial nest I have ever seen”. The story goes that he slept on this thought overnight, and the next day – with the invasion of England at the back of his mind – ordered docks to be built. To him the Scheldt, on the banks of which the city stands, looked like a gun barrel aiming at his biggest enemy. London....
