“Our tests showed Windows 7 starts up and shuts down faster than Vista, but the improvement was minor. And general performance was also faster with Windows 7, but only slightly.”

Consumer Reports recently tested 20 laptops, rating features like ergonomics, battery life, and performance. There are plenty of inexpensive laptops out there, but testers caution to beware of rock-bottom prices.

“Some computer makers are using single-core processors instead of dual-core to save money. But if you buy one of these so-called bargains, you might end up with a slower computer,” Gallea said.

That’s not good for creating videos or playing demanding games.

“We found several laptops with dual-core processors that offered solid performance for $600 dollars, or even less,” Gallea said.

One of the least expensive is the Toshiba Satellite l-505 — a Consumer Reports Best Buy at $530.

Among midsized 15 or 16 inch laptops, the Dell Studio XPS 16 was the top rated Windows 7 computer. It sells for around $1,300.

For less, Toshiba Satellite laptops also rated “very good” in tests and have facial recognition software, which signs you on by scanning your face. It’s not a must-have feature but a fun plus on a solid-performing laptop.

If you’re happy with your current computer and operating system, Consumer Reports says there’s no need to upgrade. But if you’re a frustrated Vista user, testers recommend upgrading to Windows 7.

Most computer manufacturers are offering free upgrades to people who’ve bought Vista-based computers from late June 2009 thru January 2010.

Have you ever wondered why your Mac or Windows desktop doesn’t look and behave more like a real desktop? On your physical desk, you can stack things, put up sticky notes, move your current tasks in front of you and perhaps making them more prominent in your mind. Not so much on your standard computer desktop.

For a lot of computer users, the desktop becomes the default place for things—anything that doesn’t have an obvious home just lives on the desktop. Files get organized by name or by size, which isn’t nearly as useful to me as whatever insane system the mountains on my desk have. BumpTop changes that, letting me work with my virtual files just like I’d work with my physical ones.

All the elements of your desk’s workflow are there with BumpTop. You can create and organize sticky notes just like regular Post-its; make piles out of your things instead of putting them in folders, and flip through them easily just by scrolling your mouse. One click opens what you’re looking for, or breaks apart the pile to make searching easier.

For the not-so-neat among us, finding your files is also a whole lot easier with BumpTop. When you’re on your desktop, just start typing what you’re looking for, and anything what that term in it will be highlighted on your desktop. Files you use more often grow bigger on the desktop, making the things you use most frequently easier to find.

Arguably my favorite thing about BumpTop, and the feature that makes it so exciting for touchscreen users, is the widget support. Drag a file or icon to a particular widget, and quickly and easily share it on Twitter, upload it to Facebook, email it to a friend, instantly copy it to a USB key, and more.

Today’s new version brings a bunch of cool new features to BumpTop, just for Mac users. If your computer has a multi-touch supported mouse or touchpad, pinching and dragging will make an icon smaller or larger—big icons are hard to miss and easy to remember, small ones easy to ignore. It works seamlessly with Spaces, Expose and Quick Look as well, so none of the things you love about the Mac desktop are going away.
