Asus K50AB

The K50AB is a typical mid-range laptop that looks good, but the in-built GPU-switching feature doesn't save on battery at all. We'd suggest looking elsewhere for your mid-range needs.

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

  • Asus Eee PC 1005HA-H

    Asus hits nearly all the marks in the 1005HA-H, the latest version of its iconic Eee PC, highlighted by a six-hour-plus battery life.

  • HP TouchSmart IQ528a

    HP's TouchSmart series still works well as an all-in-one solution, but seems to be on auto-pilot at the moment due to a lack of innovation. Here's hoping Windows 7 gives it the injection it needs.

  • HP TouchSmart tx2 (1015AU)

    HP's TouchSmart tx2 is its next-generation tablet PC, stuck in last generation's body.

  • Dell Studio XPS 13

    The Dell Studio XPS 13 is a very good laptop. It could have been excellent, but Dell seems to have actually tried too hard in some areas, such as the laptop's design, and we feel it's backfired slightly.

  • NEC Versa P9210-2500DR

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

  • Linksys WVC54GCA Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera

    Wi-Fi cameras for home security ought to be a no-brainer, and at this price, the Linksys pretty much is. We just wish it worked seamlessly cross-browser, and took better pictures.

  • Dell Inspiron Mini 9

    The Dell Inspiron Mini 9 is a prime example of the netbook form factor, and the best 8.9-inch one available.

  • 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.
