Reviews

  • HP Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

    HP offers a premium version of its Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the netbook to beat.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-P15G (Intel Atom Z530 processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

    Sony's upscale Atom-powered Lifestyle PC has the components of a cheaper machine, but the design of a more expensive one. The end result will be a useful travel PC for some and a conversation piece for others.

  • HP 2133 Mini-Note

    Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it fast a favourite for on-the-go use.

  • Apple MacBook Air (1.6GHz)

    Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.4GHz)

    Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a solid under-the-hood upgrade for better performance and longer battery life, allowing the MacBook Pro to put enough distance between itself and the lower-end MacBook to justify its higher price.

  • HP Compaq 2710p

    HP's attractive Compaq 2710p convertible tablet suffers from one fatal flaw, choosing a ThinkPad-style pointing stick over a touchpad.

  • HP Compaq 2510p

    HP's no-nonsense ultraportable laptop scores for its solid construction and some biz-friendly features, but the Compaq 2510p costs just as much as the flashy, consumer-oriented competition.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook A6030

    Though its design isn't groundbreaking, the media-friendly Fujitsu LifeBook A6030 offers home users a thorough feature set, gorgeous display, and strong performance at a competitive price.
