Reviews

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.
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.
Lenovo ThinkPad T400s

The T400s is the lightest 14-inch ThinkPad yet from Lenovo — just be ready to pay for the convenience.
Lenovo ThinkPad T400

Lenovo's ThinkPad T400 is another fine entry into its portfolio, but be prepared to spend extra to get the features you need.
Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds

The W700ds will make a huge dent in both your wallet and your lap, but for power users, it's tough to beat.
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.
