Reviews

LG 50PG79ED

The LG 50PG79ED offers an excellent picture for the price and adds a useful, though at times idiosyncratic, digital recorder with 160GB of space.
Sony Vaio VGN-TT15GN

If you have the money, you shouldn't hesitate to buy the TT, in any of its guises. It looks phenomenal, is comfortable to use and is exceptionally portable.
MSI Wind

This is one of the best mini laptops so far — it's comfortable to use, has a good display and it's affordable.
BlackBerry 8707g

The BlackBerry 8707g is reasonably zippy and easy-to-use, but lacks many common smartphone features like Wi-Fi and microSD memory expansion.
Logitech G15 (Revision 2)

Logitech's revised version of its already distinctive G15 gaming keyboard adds polish and trims some of the fat.
MSI Turbobook GX600

Good value for money, considering the fact it can so easily be overclocked, but it's far from perfect
ASUS U2E

The Asus U2E is a fantastic laptop. It's far slower than rivals such as the Sony Vaio TZ series or MacBook Air, but it's stylish, feature-rich and in many ways more desirable than many of the alternatives.
Asus EN9800GX2

Nvidia's new flagship 3D card delivers almost all the performance we expect for its price. We wouldn't blame Crysis fans for waiting to see what's in store later this year.

Centrino 2: What's in the Intel sequel?

Centrino is dead — it's official. But don't worry. On 14 July, Intel will launch Centrino 2 — codenamed 'Montevina' — to stave off competition from AMD, and to cement its place as the world's number one choice for laptops.
