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.
Nokia 3G Booklet

After years of calling its phones "multimedia computers", Nokia finally launches a real one.
Sony Vaio VGN-P15G (Intel Atom Z530 processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

Sony's upscale Atom-powered Lifestyle PC has the components of a cheaper machine, but the design of a more expensive one. The end result will be a useful travel PC for some and a conversation piece for others.
Sony Vaio VGC-JS15G/(P/S/T)

Another entry in Sony's panel PC range, doing its best to imitate Apple.
Sony Vaio VGC-LV17G

Another entry in Sony's panel PC range, but still fails to reach the aesthetic heights of its Apple competitors.

Sony's new ultraportable has switchable graphics and a high resolution 13.1-inch screen.

If you have the money, you shouldn't hesitate to buy the TT, in any of its guises. It looks phenomenal, is comfortable to use and is exceptionally portable.

Sony's svelte 18.4-inch 16:9 media laptop falls squarely in the desktop replacement category, and comes packed with Centrino 2 technology.
