Reviews

  • Dell Vostro 320

    While a few tweaks such as an in-built wireless receiver for keyboard/mouse and a video input so it could double as a monitor for your laptop would be nice, if you're looking for a cheap all-in-one PC, it's hard to ignore the Vostro 320 as an option.

  • 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.

  • HP SimpleSave Portable 320GB

    HP's SimpleSave portable drive does make backups simple, as long as your file names aren't too long.

  • Toshiba Satellite U500

    Toshiba's Satellite U500 wants to be portable and powerful, which has a negative impact on both the battery life and the weight. Still, if you need power in a petite package, the U500 might do it for you.

  • HP Pavilion DV2 1001AU

    For a 12-inch laptop we'd expect more performance and features than we're getting, but there are obviously compromises to be made in making ultrathin affordable.

  • Dell Adamo

    Dell's upscale Adamo is a 13-inch laptop for those who value design and finish as much as performance, but its luxury price will limit the potential audience.

  • Crayola EZ Type Keyboard

    While the EZ Type Keyboard is designed to be for children over three years of age, there is no doubt that it can easily elicit squeals of delight from those who are still children at heart.

  • Altech SysArielAtom-DP04

    The DP04 is a classic example of why nettop buyers are better off buying netbooks.

  • Dell Studio XPS 13

    The Dell Studio XPS 13 is a very good laptop. It could have been excellent, but Dell seems to have actually tried too hard in some areas, such as the laptop's design, and we feel it's backfired slightly.

  • Acer Aspire 8930G (Core 2 Duo T9400 processor 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM)

    With a true 1080p display, the 18-inch Acer Aspire 8930G is a capable HD content playback machine.

  • HP Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

    HP offers a premium version of its Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the netbook 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.

  • Asus N10 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

    You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique because of its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.

  • Fujitsu Lifebook L1010

    They're certainly a colourful bunch, but underneath the bling, Fujitsu's latest range of notebooks fail to impress.

  • Kaspersky Internet Security 2009

    Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 provides adequate protection, but the program itself could use some work in telling the user what's going on.

  • Toshiba Portege R600

    Toshiba's Portege R600 is one of the best ultraportables on the market, if you're willing to pay the price.

  • Seagate FreeAgent Go Portable Drive 320GB

    Seagate's updated FreeAgent Go is slim, attractive and offers a good mix of features and speed.

  • Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

    Engaging player-versus-player combat makes this an online role-playing game to reckon with.

  • HP Pavilion dv5-1050tx

    The sleek design and good performance of the HP Pavilion dv5-1050tx makes it a solid contender, but don't plan on removing the power cord any time soon.
