ViewSonic ViewBook Pro review

The 13.3-inch ViewBook Pro borrows heavily from Apple's MacBook Pro in terms of design, but it costs significantly less. As long as you don't push it too hard, it'll make a decent travel companion. It also packs some useful extras, such as a fingerprint reader that lets you log into your favourite Web sites without a password Read more

Dell Vostro 1400 preview hands-on

Let's not put too fine a point on it: the Dell Vostro 1400 thin-and-light laptop is fantastic value for money. There aren't many laptops as cheap or as configurable as the Vostro series. This model is perfect for light users and you can always upgrade it with faster components Read more
