Posted on by

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from Joel, who has one eye on our archives and another on his wallet. If you're looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

"It's been a while since you had a Best Laptop under $500 question. I'd be curious to know what all of the Engadget readers would suggest?"

It certainly has, Joel, so let's throw this open to the bounty of real-world testers that we have in the Engadget community. If you've spent $500 on a laptop that you love, share the details in the comments section below.

Ask Engadget: best wireless trackball mouse?

Posted on by

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from Andrew, who loves his trackball and needs to help find a wireless replacement. If you're looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

"I'm a huge fan of trackball mice, and I've been using a Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman since 2002. They can't be popular, because the company no longer makes them, and I haven't been able to source one except at ridiculous prices on eBay. I've even tried the Logitech M570, but I simply can't use it. I've looked at Kensington's offerings, but they are geared towards thumb-ballers rather than index-finger ballers, so what I want to know is: is any company making a wireless trackball mouse that offers the same experience as my beloved Optical Trackman? Thanks!"

Now, if we're honest, we did some digging and we really do feel your pain. In our searches, it looks as if the wireless trackball world has collapsed down to the Kensington Orbit or the M570, which you've already discounted. So, do any of you, out there in the ether, use a suitable trackball from a niche manufacturer? Heck, are you a niche manufacturer looking for an audience? The comments section below is where you need to go.

Ask Engadget: best next-gen console projector?

Ask Engadget best nextgen console projector

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from "Eager Gamer," who has asked a question that's appeared more than a few times in our inbox over the last month. If you're looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

"With next-gen consoles around the corner, could you please help me out with some of the best gaming projectors to choose from? I'm looking for something in the $2,000 - $2,500 in the price range. Thanks for any and all advice you can offer, as buying my first projector is much harder than I thought it'd be."

Never fear Easy Gamer, as we'd rather you ask us than run the risk of buying a bad gadget. On the upside, both the Xbone and PS4 will support 4K video (the Xbone will also be able to run games in 4K where supported). On the downside, the cheapest 4K projector is more than ten times your top budget.

So instead, let's look at a high quality projector that you can grab that is within budget. Sony's VPLHW30ES, for instance, offers 3D projection, a 1,300 lumens bulb an HDMI-in for $2,500, while ViewSonic's PRO9000 can be snapped up for $1,800. Still, those are just two options from us -- we're reasonably sure that the Engadget community can suggest something even more suited to your tastes.
