Reviews

  • Sony VAIO VGN-SZ483N

    With a strong security suite, hybrid graphics system and sleek design, the VAIO VGN-SZ483G is a product which sells itself. The only beef we have is its last-generation platform and rather miserly warranty terms.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook N6460

    Amongst the monster "laptops" there's been a heavy focus on multimedia and power, and to a degree, the Fujitsu does well here -- the speakers, lack of Bluetooth and price being the only things that truly cripple it.

  • HP Compaq 2710p

    HP's attractive Compaq 2710p convertible tablet suffers from one fatal flaw, choosing a ThinkPad-style pointing stick over a touchpad.

  • Acer Aspire 5920

    Though it's bulky, the Acer Aspire 5920 makes a great choice for buyers who want both a media-friendly laptop and a portable HD DVD player that plugs into their home theatre.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook P7230

    A sleek-looking ultraportable, the Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 will turn heads with its polished design, but its middling performance make it suited best for basic office tasks.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook S6311

    Serious battery misers may still find love in Sony's new G series product with its similar specs, although for the asking price you could buy yourself an S6311 and a couple of extra batteries.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-C13

    Attractive, powerful and reasonably priced, the Sony VAIO VGN-C13 is a smart choice if you're in the market for a thin-and-light laptop.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook P7120

    For users who are unwilling to sacrifice features and yet demand a diminutive notebook, the Fujitsu LifeBook P7120 fits the bill perfectly.
