Best Buy is showing off laptops from Toshiba, Dell, and Sony. Why? Not just because they carry them in stores, but because they are now part of the company's Blue Label 2.0 line.

What makes the Blue Label red-hot is that users can stream video and photos from the laptop to a flat-panel TV. Each model boasts Intel Wireless Display technology, as well as the new Intel i5 processor, 4GB of memory and a 500GB hard drive. New users will also get 30 days of Geek Squad support to help start the streaming process.

Toshiba will have a 14-inch model, Dell has 15.6 inches, and Sony will launch a 13-inch laptop -- all exclusive to Best Buy. The models will start selling in stores and online on January 17. Pricing will start at $899.99.

Get your motor running... head out to the Best Buy? Pretty soon, motorcycle lovers (or beginners) may be heading to the mega-retailer to catch a ride.Granted, I am scared to get on anything with two wheels that doesn't have a flowery basket up front. However, you have to wonder how motorcycles will sell at the Best Buy. Twice says that five West Coast Best Buy stores will start selling choppers this spring.

The first model available will be Brammo's Enertia, a $12,000 electric motorcycle. Here comes the scary part, though: the Geek Squad will handle some of the repairs. Ever watch American Choppers? I've never seen anyone that looks like that working behind a Geek Squad desk. The company justifies by saying that the unit is "closer to consumer electronics than to transportation." Yeah, I never had an arm severed after falling off my MP3 player.

The Enertia is a plug-in motorcycle that promises up to 53 miles per hour, with up to 45 miles on a single charge. - Rachel Cericola
