Reviews

  • 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 VGN-Z17GNB

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

  • Sony Vaio VGN-TT15GN

    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 Vaio VGN-AW17GU/Q

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

  • Sony VGN-FW17GU/H

    Sony's 16.4-inch, 16:19 entertainment laptop looks set to amaze, with a high quality screen and Blu-ray playback.

  • HP 2133 Mini-Note

    Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it fast a favourite for on-the-go use.

  • Acer Ferrari 1100

    Acer's Ferrari is nice to use, but the exclusivity and inflated price feels manufactured, not earned.

  • 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.
