The 9200 comes with the fastest Pentium M 765 processor on the market, a multiformat DVD-RW drive, and a lovely 17-inch screen. And the battery life is far and away the best we've seen--during our benchmark battery test, we ran out of juice at 4 hours and 59 minutes. Can your notebook do that? To find out more, see our online review. (4 stars) http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1216-4-4-252229-115127-1 ============================================================ The Ink-readable Ink Jet The Epson Stylus C66 ink jet printer produces text and photos that are among the best we've seen. Even better, the printer is only $70 (street). If you don't believe a sub-$100 ink jet can produce stunning photos and top-notch text, Epson's C66 will prove you wrong. And there's another bonus: The four ink cartridges use smudge- and water- resistant ink. Read our review for more details. (4 stars) http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1216-4-4-252229-115130-1 ============================================================ Everything A Shooter Needs Top-loading cassette carriage, good video, great still-image capture, rich feature set--Canon's Optura 30 camcorder has just about everything needed to satisfy both enthusiasts and novice shooters. We miss an AF assist lamp and LED headlight, but at least the Optura 30 includes an intelligent hot shoe for external audio or lighting devices. Find out more in the review by our PC Labs camera experts.
