Reviews

ViewSonic VNB101

The netbook market is so tight, you need some sort of competitive advantage to stand above the crowd. ViewSonic brings a standard netbook with two negatives instead — poor battery life and a bad touchpad.
BenQ Joybook Lite U121 Eco

With "Eco" and "Lite" in its name does that mean the U121 is a product with fewer features with a high price for the sake of being branded as environmentally friendly?
Lenovo ThinkPad T400s

The T400s is the lightest 14-inch ThinkPad yet from Lenovo — just be ready to pay for the convenience.
Asus EeePC 901

The Eee is now faster, looks nicer, and has better battery life. It's also heavier and the keyboard is still too small, but we like it. A lot.
Asus EeePC 900

The Asus EeePC 900 is an excellent update to the EeePC 701, and a fantastic purchase.
ASUS AIR

ASUS enters the Internet radio fray, but is anyone listening?
Apple Time Capsule (1TB) Network Storage

Apple's hybrid 802.11n wireless router/networked hard drive offers some powerful data backup features for Mac owners, but Windows users and those who demand speed from their 802.11n network will be disappointed.
Toshiba Satellite A200 (Pentium 1.86Ghz, 1GB RAM)

The Satellite A200 is a decent machine for basic productivity needs, but otherwise does little to mark it out from the budget laptop pack.
