Reviews

  • Lenovo ThinkPad T60

    The premium you pay is worth it: the ThinkPad T60 delivers a sturdy design, a complete range of network connectivity, top-shelf performance, long battery life, and just enough ports for the typical business user.

  • Dell XPS M2010

    A striking feat of engineering that's sure to garner attention in a stylish home or on a multimedia-intensive sales call, the Dell XPS M2010 is simply too expensive and impractical to be anything more than a curio for the rest of us.

  • 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.

  • Dell Latitude D820

    The new Latitude D820 covers just about every base that a great business laptop can, clearing the way for us to call it one of the best midsize corporate portables around.

  • Acer TravelMate 8200

    From a performance perspective, the fast Acer TravelMate 8200 does Intel's new Core Duo processor proud -- but its mediocre battery is hardly the five hours Intel promised.

  • 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.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook P1510

    Moving away from a Transmeta Crusoe processor, the Fujitsu P series now has a tablet notebook based on the Intel Pentium M platform.

  • Apple SuperDrive Mac Mini (1.42 GHz)

    The Apple SuperDrive Mac Mini addresses some of the shortcomings of its AU$799 predecessor, making it a well-rounded home PC at its base configuration.
