Acer Ferrari One review

There's no denying that the Ferrari One is the best netbook so far, offering a larger-than-usual, 11.6-inch screen, speedy performance, and a truly excellent keyboard. If you can live with a lid that may cause people to question the length of your reproductive appendage, you won't be disappointed Read more

Acer Aspire 1825PT review

The 11.6-inch Aspire 1825PT is a two-trick pony. You can either use it as you would a normal laptop, or you can swivel its touchscreen around and use it as an iPad-esque tablet PC. Either way, our review sample's performance proved pleasingly zippy, and it offers greater connectivity than Apple's device too Read more

Acer TravelMate Timeline 8371 review

You'll want to spatter your brains all over the wall if you try playing games on the 13.3-inch TravelMate Timeline 8371, but it's a good laptop in almost every other regard. With an attractive, understated design, a capable ultra-low-voltage CPU and good battery life, the 8371 has won us over Read more

Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile U9210 review

The 12-inch Esprimo Mobile U9210 ultra-portable laptop won't win any awards for design or affordability, but it offers speedy performance and excellent wireless capabilities, including an integrated 3G module. If you can overlook its faults, this lightweight laptop is worth considering Read more

Sony Vaio Y series (VPCY11M1E/S) review

The slender, 13.3-inch Vaio VPCY11M1E/S won't make you yelp with excitement when it comes to performance, but it is very comfortable to use, with an excellent keyboard. Its funky bundled software also allows you to share media between the laptop and other devices, such as a PlayStation 3 or television Read more

Toshiba Satellite T130 review

The configuration of the 13-inch T130 laptop that we review here, the T130-13M, isn't going to make your brain melt out of your nose with its performance, but it's got its charms nevertheless. It looks great, offers good battery life and perfectly combines portability, usability and comfort Read more

Advent Altro review

The 13.3-inch Altro is an unashamed attempt to emulate the MacBook Air. Considering it's almost half the price, it doesn't do too bad a job. Offering 3GB of RAM, strong wireless capabilities and a good keyboard, it's worth a look for those after a relatively cheap thin-and-light laptop Read more

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook S6420 review

The S6420 is an ultraportable laptop designed for the mobile professional. It's light, relatively small, and best of all, it has a built-in 3G modem so you can go online almost anywhere. This £1,000 laptop has substantial security capabilities and an 'Eco Mode' to boot, so it could be the right one for you Read more

Samsung Q35 review

The Q35 is better than most of its current ultra-portable laptop rivals in almost every respect -- it's not only nice to look at, but its use of modern components, ease of use and remarkable battery life make it a near-perfect proposition. Don't expect it to play 3D games, of course, but for everyday applications it's a cracker Read more

Dell XPS M1330 review

The XPS M1330 is putting an end to Dell's reputation as a faceless corporate PC manufacturer -- it comes in three funky colours and the company claims it's the thinnest laptop in the world. Prepare to be smitten... Read more
