Apple iBook G4 (14-inch) review

Much faster than its predecessor, this iBook has plenty of features, a stylish design and a low price (for Apple). But the much faster iBooks with Intel Core Duo processors should be along shortly, so we'd advise you wait Read more

MSI X340 review

If you think the MacBook Air is too expensive and netbooks are too small, the 13-inch, super-light, super-thin X340 will be worth investigating. The keyboard and battery life aren't overly impressive, but it’s got good connectivity and its looks will certainly get you drooling Read more

Asus W5000 review

Style-conscious bohemians who want to steer away from the bland offerings of most laptop manufacturers will find the Asus W5000 appeals to their all-white tastes. It offers reasonable -- if unspectacular -- performance and battery life, and a cool little Webcam that pivots above the screen Read more

Acer Aspire TimelineX 5820T review

Acer is looking to shake up the status quo with its latest additions to the Timeline range, and the 5820T is a perfect example. It shares many of the qualities of both a thin-and-light laptop and a high-performance desktop-replacement machine, with a slim chassis, good battery life and switchable graphics Read more

Fujitsu LifeBook E8210 review

The business-oriented, thin-and-light Fujitsu LifeBook E8210 is by no means exciting, flashy or inexpensive, but it does offer serious performance and security at a competitive price. Corporate buyers looking for a 15.4-inch, widescreen laptop should consider the LifeBook E8210 alongside the best offerings from Dell, HP and others Read more

Toshiba Satellite U500 review

The 13.3-inch Satellite U500 is thick and heavy, but it looks great, with an appealing brown finish. Its keyboard is very comfortable, its performance is decent, if not mind-blowing, and it's available with a touchscreen, if that's your bag. Just don't expect the best image quality in the world 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

Lenovo ThinkPad X32 review

Frequent travellers who burn the midnight oil would do well to consider the ThinkPad X32. This ultraportable offers enough keyboard and screen space, battery life, and connectivity to get some serious work done on the road. Yet despite all of these perks, it still weighs well under 2kg Read more

Sony Vaio VGN-C2S review

Sony has injected some colour into its laptops with the Vaio VGN-C2S. Available in blue, pink or green it promises to brighten up your Web browsing experience, however it's not the cheapest that money can buy Read more
