Reviews

  • 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.

  • NEC Versa P9210-2500DR

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

  • 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.

  • Dell Latitude E6500

    The Dell Latitude E is a glimpse into the future of laptops. With high expandability, configurable and a strong design, it should suit most corporate environments.

  • Asus M51Va

    Asus' M51Va passes muster as one of the better laptops out there, and the Centrino 2 certification means you'll be up-to-date with the latest spec. If you're in the market for a mid-weight laptop, make sure to give this one a try.

  • Dell Studio 1535

    The Dell Studio 1535 is a good mid-range laptop that fills the gap between premium and mainstream, and offers good quality for the price.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Santa Rosa: hands on with the new Centrino

    Good news, laptop fans, we've a Santa Rosa laptop and we've been putting it through its paces for the last few days. What is it? Why should you care? Read on to find out!

  • Draft N wireless routers: get ready for 802.11n
