Reviews

Dell Latitude XT2 Tablet

Dell's tablet isn't cheap, but it'll appeal to the business crowd who desire a solidly built system.
Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2

Lenovo's popular IdeaPad S10-2 netbook has been slimmed down and its price reduced, making it a better netbook — as long as you can live without ExpressCard.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2010

This year's Pro Evo improves upon its predecessor in some key areas, but it does little else to keep up with the competition.
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.
Asus Lamborghini VX5

Asus' Lamborghini VX5 is a luxury laptop, with a luxury price to match — thankfully justified by the quality of the laptop and package. If you've got a wad of cash burning in your pocket, and don't mind a little luxury, the VX5 might be for you.
Acer Extensa 5635Z

The Extensa is a business laptop with no particular frills. That's not a bad thing per se, but it's tough to get too excited about it, either.
Samsung N110

An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
Sony Vaio W

Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.
