Head of the Class
HP 2133 mini-note PC

This PC isn’t out to set speed records, but the stripped-down 2.6-pounder gets good grades for having an ExpressCard slot, an 8.9-inch screen, nearly full-size keyboard, and beefy 120 GB or 160 GB hard drives. Associate editor Matt Hardigree’s take: “It’s great for surfing and writing, but I’d need a magnifying glass to edit photos. And I had no problem using it to work in bed, but my fiancée considers that a downside.” $499, hp.com

The Professional Vagabond
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50

Feast your eyes on the 9.1-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50, one of the first cameras to use wi-fi as more than a gimmick. Connect via public hotspots or T-Mobile nodes to send images to Google’s Picasa, e-mail addresses, phones, and more. As a bonus, its enhanced image stabilization, continuous autofocus, and a smart LCD mean you’ll have pictures actually worth looking at. $450, panasonic.com

The TV Addict
LG Vu (AT&T)
Talk to friends and family, or ignore them and watch 150 shows thanks to support for AT&T’s all-new Mobile TV service. While Nickelodeon may not be your thing (or maybe it is, weirdo), gems like ESPN Mobile TV, CNN Mobile Live, and Sony Picture Television’s PIX should be more than enough to keep productivity at bay. The two-megapixel camera isn’t so hot, but really, who needs a camera when Mila Jovavich is getting all Resident Evil in your pocket? $300 with contract, wireless.att.com

measureOfAMan_article01.jpgEvery guy needs at least one fits-like-a-glove made-to-measure suit. And with more designers offering bespoke services­ (like Zegna, which made this one for us), it’s time to step up. But with the higher price tags (at least $2K) comes a dizzying list of style options.
