Reviews

  • 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.

  • HP EliteBook 6930p

    A solid business laptop with excellent battery life, the EliteBook 6930p won't disappoint, but there is little in this laptop to warrant the "Elite" label.

  • Fujitsu Lifebook S6520

    The Fujitsu Lifebook S6520 is a decent refresh with Centrino 2 parts, but there are cheaper alternatives if portability is of utmost importance.

  • Fujitsu Lifebook E8420

    Fujitsu's foray into Centrino 2 laptops is solid, but the competition is offering more features at a lower price.

  • Apple MacBook 2.4GHz

    The 2008 Apple MacBook is a perfect amalgam of design and usability, and is able to beat many Windows PCs at their own game.

  • NEC Versa P9210-2500DR

    The P9210 is a frustrating mix of elements that we really liked, and elements that were just plain frustrating.

  • 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.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook T1010

    The Fujitsu T1010 has tablet features and a somewhat striking price point, but the rest of the package feels a bit lifeless.

  • Centrino Duo (AKA Santa Rosa) explained

    We wouldn't recommend rushing out immediately to buy a Centrino Duo system, but if you're in the market for a new laptop, the new platform will give you a modest boost
