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

Toshiba Tecra R10-112 review

The 14-inch Tecra R10-112 offers solid build quality, a particularly good display and decent performance. The keyboard flexes too much, however, and battery life is average, but this laptop's worth a look if you want an attractive machine that can easily handle mainstream tasks Read more

Dell Latitude 13 review

Our configuration of the Dell Latitude 13 impressed with its slim dimensions and good battery life, but its performance was compromised by its sluggish processor and stingy 1GB of RAM. 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

HP Envy 14 Spectre review

The HP Envy 14 Spectre's glass design is interesting, but it's fatter, heavier and pricier than its ultrabook competitors. Read more

HP ProBook 5310m review

The 13.3-inch ProBook 5310m has a stately design, with a particularly good keyboard, as well as long battery life and a reasonable price tag. It's on the heavy side for a machine of its type, but the high-end configuration that we reviewed is a capable performer, and it's an impressive package overall Read more

Dell Vostro V130 review

The 13.3-inch Dell Vostro V130 is a decent business laptop that offers a pleasant design, good build quality and workmanlike performance. Its average battery life is disappointing, though. Read more

HP Compaq 2710p review

Business laptops can be clunky affairs, but the HP Compaq 2710p bucks that trend. It's far from the boxy design you get in most ultraportables and small enough to comfortably take on the road. With plenty of features onboard, it's a performing travelling companion, too Read more

Sony Vaio S series (VPC-S13V9E/B) review

The Sony Vaio VPC-S13V9E/B offers good performance and some neat features, such as an onboard mobile-broadband modem. But we're not sure the 13.3-inch laptop warrants its hefty price tag. Read more
