Windows 7 means new laptops

While most vendors are simply installing Windows 7 across their existing range, a number of new laptops will be available for purchase now that Microsoft's new operating system has hit the market.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200

It lacks some basic features you may require — touch pad, optical drive — but the 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen.

Reviews

  • Toshiba Satellite U500

    Toshiba's Satellite U500 wants to be portable and powerful, which has a negative impact on both the battery life and the weight. Still, if you need power in a petite package, the U500 might do it for you.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X301

    If you've seen last year's ThinkPad X300, there are very few surprises in store here, as the X301 is simply a Centrino 2 update.

  • Dell Inspiron 13

    The Dell Inspiron 13 is great for those hampered by a tight budget, but who still want a competent and power-efficient thin-and-light notebook with a decent design.

  • ASUS Lamborghini VX3

    The ASUS Lamborghini VX3 is the laptop recast as a status symbol. It looks and feels like a luxury item; we just wish it had a bit more power under the hood.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X300

    The newest addition to the ThinkPad X series incorporates the best of the MacBook Air, with the best of the Portege R500, while also adding its own great features, such as a built-in DVD burner, WWAN connectivity, and GPS.

  • Toshiba Portege R500

    Toshiba's much-anticipated Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop available right now, but mobile broadband is conspicuously absent.

  • HP Compaq Presario B1801TU

    The HP Compaq Presario B1801TU, with its lightweight 1.6kg chassis and pleasing battery life would be a great companion for the road warrior, if not for its dismal performance when compared to competing offerings.

  • Toshiba Portege M300

    The M300 will satisfy users who need a stylish lightweight notebook with an optical drive for their work. Mind the processing power, though.
