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.
Lenovo 3000 C100 (1.5GHz)

The Lenovo 3000 C100 is a decent budget laptop that delivers competent performance and long battery life, but other laptops offer superior features for a similar price.
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.
Toshiba Libretto U100

Toshiba's tiny 1kg Libretto U100 (1.4kg with the docking base) may be just too small for many people to use effectively, but it's a triumph of design and engineering. The only hefty thing about it is the price tag.
ThinkPad X32

For businesspeople who work long hours on the road, the ThinkPad X32 offers an excellent combination of light weight, sufficient screen and keyboard space, plenty of ports and lengthy battery life.
ThinkPad X41

Though costly and a bit heavier than the ThinkPad X40 it replaces, the ultraportable ThinkPad X41 is still a great choice for the corporate road warrior's dream machine.
Toshiba Tecra M3

The thin-and-light Tecra M3 has a nice design and adequate performance for basic office tasks, but power users will be disappointed by the laptop's mediocre speed and battery life.
ThinkPad R52

Businesses seeking a sturdy, secure, portable workhorse should consider the ThinkPad R52.
