Reviews

  • Apple MacBook (2.0GHz, 13-inch, black)

    With the MacBook, Apple has corrected a handful of the iBook's shortcomings, hit a reasonable price point, and delivered a laptop that makes a great compromise between size and portability.

  • 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.

  • Toshiba Tecra M4

    The Toshiba Tecra M4 is a full-featured laptop that can occasionally be used as a tablet.

  • 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.
