Reviews

  • Dell Vostro 320

    While a few tweaks such as an in-built wireless receiver for keyboard/mouse and a video input so it could double as a monitor for your laptop would be nice, if you're looking for a cheap all-in-one PC, it's hard to ignore the Vostro 320 as an option.

  • Dell Vostro 1220

    At first glance, the Vostro 1220 looks like an ultraportable notebook that was born from Dell's consumer range. But instead Dell has created its own little niche, targeting the more fashion-conscious business user on a budget.

  • 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.

  • Sony PSP Go

    We love its slimmer, sexier, more pocket-friendly shape, as well as its pause and restore anywhere feature, but the PSP Go doesn't quite add enough to the mix to justify its price tag.

  • Asus UX30

    The UX30 gets oh so close to what it strives to achieve, but small design choices like the stippled touchpad and port covers, and large issues like the low battery life prevent it from achieving greatness.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad T400s

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

  • Dell Studio One 19

    There's a decent but not great PC hiding behind the Studio One 19's touchscreen gimmickry.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad T400

    Lenovo's ThinkPad T400 is another fine entry into its portfolio, but be prepared to spend extra to get the features you need.
