Acer Timeline Aspire 4810T review

Those who want an Apple MacBook Air, but can't stomach the price, should check out the 14-inch Timeline Aspire 4810T. Compared to most laptops, it's incredibly thin and light, and, while it's not the best-looking or fastest machine, it's a bargain at its current price Read more

MSI X600 review

If you like ostentatious laptops, the 15.6-inch X600 probably isn't for you. This thin-and-light laptop is about as conspicuous as a stealth bomber, but it's a gorgeous specimen nonetheless, and its ultra-low-voltage CPU delivers surprisingly good performance Read more

Advent 9112 review

You'd usually pay a premium to get a thin-and-light laptop, but not with Advent's tiny 9112. This laptop doesn't cut corners when it comes to performance -- it's powerful enough to use for office and Web applications, but still small enough to carry around with you Read more

Asus UX30 review

Asus' designers clearly had Apple's MacBook Air in mind when they created the 13.3-inch UX30 thin-and-light laptop. It bears a steep price tag and its battery life could be better, but it's a gorgeous-looking specimen and its ultra-low-voltage processor makes it a strong performer too Read more

The Sony Vaio NR21M is a distinctively styled and affordable thin-and-light laptop that offers plenty of power for your office and day-to-day activities. While it's too heavy to carry around with you, you'll get decent battery life if you're moving from your desk to the couch 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

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
