Reviews

  • 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 6910p

    Small businesses on tight budgets take note: The HP Compaq 6910p laptop offers enterprise-level features and decent performance at a price that's lower than the competition.

  • Toshiba Portege M400

    Though inexpensive, the Portege M400 convertible tablet's middle-of-the-road performance and battery life may not be enough for the demanding business user. For basic tasks, however, it's a decent bargain.

  • HP Compaq Presario B2823TX

    The glossy white casing is certainly unique. Though equipped with a dedicated graphics card on the previous Centrino chipset, the performance of this unit is unfortunately only average.

  • HP Compaq Tablet PC tc4200

    This latest tablet PC from HP Compaq is a decent improvement over its predecessors, though unresolved legacy flaws may dampen user enthusiasm.

  • Acer TravelMate 3200

    The TravelMate 3200 hits the mainstream business market dead centre, delivering performance and features in a portable, well-priced package.
