Welcome to a special Labor Day Edition of What’s New Now. Here in the U.S., we celebrate a holiday about working by, well, not working at all. Still it’s a good moment to ruminate on the best ways and tools for getting things done, in the office, at home and on the road.

Laptops
Everybody has a laptop, but is it the right one? Here are a few models that PCMag.com recommends.

Lenovo ThinkPad T410
The best business laptops get the job done, without getting in your way. This Lenovo is that kind of laptop. Decent looks, great keyboard, Core i5 power. Very nice.

HP Pavilion dv7-4083cl
This baby packs power and entertainment chops, and it costs just $999.


Dell Studio 17 (Multitouch)
Want big? We got big. Want touch? We got touch. This 17-inch Dell is powerful and has excellent battery life.

Desktops
Not as light or sleek as laptops, but often the unsung heroes of many offices and homes. Here are some great choices.

Apple iMac 27-inch (Core i5)
Apple manages to combine stellar looks with excellent performance. That's why this all-in-one is a winner.


Gateway DX4840-02e
I used to worry that parent company Acer was going to kill the Gateway brand. Instead, it has revitalized it with reasonably-priced, well-performing systems like this Core i5-based DX4840-2e.


Dell Optiplex 780 USFF
Need a business system that you can hide-away, but still depend on it to get the job done? This Dell Optiplex 780 Ultra Small Form Factor may do the trick.

Tips and Tricks
One of the best ways to get more out of your operating system and productivity apps—really all of our technology—is to find the best tips, tricks and lists and start using them. Here are some of our best collections.
