Reviews

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

    Sony Ericsson has finally satisfied our curiosity and thrown the covers off its first Android-powered handset. A veritable powerhouse, the X10 features a 1GHz processor and a high resolution 4-inch display.

  • Thecus N5500

    Thecus' N5500 is, like all of Thecus' lines, best suited to the professional user who doesn't mind tweaking the unit to get the most out of it.

  • 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.

  • Asus K50AB

    The K50AB is a typical mid-range laptop that looks good, but the in-built GPU-switching feature doesn't save on battery at all. We'd suggest looking elsewhere for your mid-range needs.

  • 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.

  • Gigabyte Booktop M1022M

    The Booktop may be on the costly side, thanks to the bundled docking station, but it still falls below "premium" netbook costs. Plus the excellent battery life and ability to switch from a desk-bound PC to a portable mini-laptop captured our attention.

  • 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.

  • HTC HD2

    HTC's HD2 reads like a perfectly balanced mathematical equation of geeky desire, and when compared to last year's Touch HD, this new model has pluses next to every spec.
