Reviews

  • BenQ Joybook A33E

    The A33E is a reasonable notebook for those on a budget, but its dearth of features and low battery life when compared to some of its competitors is undoubtedly a deterrent.

  • Dell Inspiron 630m (14.1-inch, 1.6GHz)

    Dell's Inspiron 630m is undoubtedly the king of the budget notebook hill. Its battery life blitzes the competition, and its performance and features are also top notch.

  • Apple PowerBook G4 (17-inch; 1.67GHz)

    The 17-inch PowerBook G4 delivers a competitive set of features, a great software package, good battery life, and style in spades, but you can find plenty of less expensive options out there.

  • ViewSonic NextVision N3260w (32-inch LCD)

    ViewSonic needs to improve picture quality and usability to compete with the big boys -- ultimately you get what you pay for.

  • Toshiba Portege R200

    Though it's a tad expensive, the Toshiba Portege R200 is a well-designed ultraportable with enough speed and battery life for business travellers.

  • Dell Inspiron 9200

    The Dell Inspiron 9200 is an awesome desktop replacement, with cutting-edge features and solid performance.
