Sony Vaio VGN-TX5XN review

Sony's VGN-TX5XN is a small but perfectly formed 11.1-inch ultraportable laptop. Its small, lightweight chassis is ideal for carrying with you and with 100GB of storage, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth it's got all you need for working on the run Read more

HP Pavilion dm3-1020ea review

The 13.3-inch Pavilion dm3-1020ea is an affordable ultra-portable laptop that marries a super-slick design with impressively speedy performance and long battery life. The touchpad could be better and the reflective screen could prove annoying, but this laptop is still easy to recommend Read more

Apple MacBook Air 11-inch review

Apple's latest iteration of the 11-inch MacBook air packs excellent performance inside a razor-thin body. Its high price and sparse port selection means it won't appeal to everyone though. Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, summer 2009) review

The latest update to Apple's premium 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor modifications. Nevertheless, a faster CPU, better battery and the addition of an SD card slot, together with a price cut, make it a substantial improvement on its predecessor Read more

Toshiba Portege A600 review

The ultra-portable Toshiba Portege A600 isn't the lightest or thinnest laptop in its class, but good battery life and built-in HSDPA add to its portability credentials. It also has a built-in optical drive, which many of its rivals lack, and represents good value for money overall Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (2008 Edition, 15-in, 2.5GHz) review

The Apple MacBook Pro (2008 Edition, 15-in, 2.5GHz) laptop is the first upgrade to the line since the release of the MacBook Air. With its design the same, it features the new Intel Penryn-class processors and borrows the multi-touch gesturing system from the Air Read more

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, spring 2010) review

Apple's latest 15-inch MacBook Pros look similar to their predecessors in terms of appearance, but their innards have received a welcome power boost. We'd still like to see an HDMI port, Blu-ray drive and 3G connectivity, but the high-end model that we reviewed delivered pleasingly powerful performance Read more

Toshiba Portege R500-10U review

The Toshiba Portege R500-10U weighs in at a shocking 779g -- as much as a mug of coffee or a loaf of bread. With its long battery life and transflexive screen, Toshiba has created an ultra-smart ultraportable for Web browsing and office productivity. On the go, it'll be floating on air Read more
