Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, summer 2009) review

Apple has promoted its basic 13-inch, aluminium unibody MacBook to the Pro series, adding more features while reducing the price of the base configuration. The end result is one of the most universally useful laptops available, although there's still some features we'd like to see included Read more

HP Mini 110 review

The 10.1-inch Mini 110 is the less expensive successor to one of our favourite netbooks, the Mini 1000. It's slightly thicker and heavier than its sibling, but it offers the same performance, more ports and connections, and a hard-to-find matte display. Overall, it's a thoroughly respectable machine Read more

Samsung N110 review

One of Samsung's confusing brood of similar-sounding netbooks, the N110 has a good keyboard and an excellent trackpad. While not as thin as something like the HP Mini 1000, Samsung gets points for making a netbook with a long-life, six-cell battery that doesn't look like it has a kickstand Read more

HP Pavilion dv2 review

Powered by AMD's Athlon Neo CPU, the Pavilion dv2 aims to straddle the divide between netbooks and more expensive ultra-portables. It looks great, can certainly outperform netbooks based on the Intel Atom or Via Nano processors, and puts in a decent gaming performance too Read more

Dell Adamo review

The Adamo, one of the most keenly anticipated laptops of 2009, is a remarkably thin machine, with plenty of high-end visual touches that help it to live up to its luxury billing. It's a decent performer for a low-power laptop, but, at this price, we'd expect battery life to be better Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch unibody) review

The redesigned 17-inch MacBook Pro has an aluminium unibody design, a new multitouch trackpad and a dual-graphics set-up for boosting either battery life or performance. Those tweaks, combined with excellent performance and impressive battery life, help to make it an appealing, but expensive, laptop Read more

Acer Aspire One D150 review

The budget Aspire One D150 is a good performer that gives more expensive netbooks a run for their money. Its touchpad isn't great and it's relatively heavy, but, with a 10.1-inch screen, impressive battery life and decent keyboard, those seeking a no-frills travel machine won't be disappointed Read more

HP Mini 2140 review

The Mini 2140, HP's latest stab at the netbook format, is solidly built and well designed. It's perfectly capable of handling typical netbook tasks and the fantastic keyboard is our favourite so far on a netbook. HP has also managed to keep the price down, making this the netbook to beat Read more

Dell Studio XPS 16 review

The Studio XPS 16 -- Dell's first true 16:9, 16-inch laptop -- is a smart-looking machine and a powerful performer. Although an unimpressive battery life limits its portability, it includes a number of upscale extras, such as leather trim and backlit keyboard, and handles high-definition content and light gaming well Read more

Sony Vaio P-series Lifestyle PC review

The Vaio P-series Lifestyle PC is elegantly designed and one of the smallest laptops we've seen, standing out from the netbook crowd with an impressive array of features. It also has a large keyboard and high-res screen, but its usability suffers from the lack of a standard touch pad Read more
