The Best Green Technology for Earth Day
You want to do your part for the planet, so you probably know that all the technology in your home isn’t exactly eco-friendly. But you can't live without your computer or TV, right? That's okay. PCMag's Green Tech Approved seal can help point you toward the most earth-friendly gear around, including laptops, desktops, screens, and drives.

Plus: Seagate's New Green Hard Drives
The new Barracuda LP line of hard drives comes in three capacities, uses only 3W of power while idling, and is RoHS compliant.



Acer's Budget Laptop Home Run
The eco-friendly Aspire 3935 has a list of achievements like no other ultraportable, including surprisingly good battery life, an optical drive, good processing power, and an excellent typing experience. And its price will blow you away. Learn more in our in-depth review.



Big Gaming in Small Packaging
The Falcon Northwest FragBox 2 (Core i7) shrinks a gaming tower into a compact size, yet ramps up the insanity. Find out just what this gaming rig can do in the full review.



Apple's Almost-Great Wireless Router
The latest version of the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n comes tantalizingly close to being a top-of-the-line router. It has some great features--but some puzzling gaps, too. Find out what's missing in our in-depth review.



A Slick, Big-Screen Player
The iriver P7's sprawling 4.3-inch screen is great for movies, but that might be where this player's strong points end. We put it to the test in our hands-on review.



Gearlog: Amazon and TiVo Team Up for High-Def On Demand
TiVo announced yesterday its new partnership with Amazon.com, which lets TiVo subscribers download HD videos from Amazon Video. Get all the details on Gearlog.com.



AppScout: Lego Jumps on the Rock Band Wagon
First it was Aerosmith, then Metallica, and soon The Beatles. What's next for Rock Band? TT Games and Harmonix have announced that they've joined up for Lego Rock Band. Take a peek on AppScout.com.
